At the end of the 20th century, Cameron's science fiction films refreshed our visual senses. At that time, the special effects of the film were not as fantastic and eye-catching as they are now, and "Terminator" broke this stereotype. I have to mention Schwarzenegger, the highlight of the whole drama, is Mr. Bodybuilder's he, I don't know how many girl fans are screaming. Let's take a look at the little story behind the Terminator.
Cameron's wife: Susie Amis
The first draft of the film's screenplay was sold to Cameron's wife, Gale Anne Hurd, for $1
OJ Simpson was once a candidate to play the Terminator, but the producers thought he was too "handsome" to play the cold-blooded killer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has only 17 lines in the film.
The classic sonorous and powerful accompaniment sound in the film is produced by tapping the microphone with a cast iron pot.
The Terminator wore Gargoyles sunglasses.
The film's classic line "I'll be back" ranked 37th on the American Film Institute's "Top 100 Film Lines" list, and 95th on the same list in Premiere Magazine in 2007.
Terminator was originally scheduled to start in early 1983, as Schwarzenegger was filming Conan the Destroyer, and the film's start was delayed by nine months.
James Cameron came up with the idea of making the film while filming another film in Europe, conceiving of a metal skeleton in flames, and much of the script in flashbacks of a previous story, i.e. never coming back to the present.
The screams of Terminator 2T-1000 as they die were voiced by director Cameron.
The liquid nitrogen leaking out of the tank truck is real liquid nitrogen, because there is no substitute to achieve the real effect.
Edward Furlong was selected from hundreds of candidates who were spotted by casting directors while waiting in line to enter a club.
More than 200 weapons are used in the film. The sound of shotguns in Schwarzenegger's hands actually came from cannons.
Maggie Q, who made a name for himself in Hollywood, could have starred in the movie Terminator 4, but unfortunately lost to mixed-race actress Moon Bradgood. The director of the "Terminator 4" film was selected for the casting of the two, but because Moon had experience in making action films, he was eventually selected.
Due to the departure of The French actress Charlotte Gansbour, who was originally scheduled to play John Connor's wife, Kate Connor, due to scheduling problems, the role of Kate Connor will be replaced by Hollywood actress Blaise Dallas Howard.
Claire Dennis, who played John Connor's girlfriend in Terminator 3, refused to star in the episode, saying she "didn't want to repeat a role." The role was eventually played by Blythe Dallas Howard.
