Awesome Terminator

After losing his left eye to cancer as a child, Brian Stanley started wearing prosthetic eyeballs. More recently, he turned lemons into lemonade by fabricating a series of light-up eyeballs, including one that’s bright enough to be used as a flashlight. He’s also made a titanium cyborg eye that makes him look like a Terminator.

(PG-13) Deepfake expert Ctrl Shift Face pulled out all the stops for this video that reimagines James Cameron’s The Terminator with Sylvester Stallone taking Schwarzenegger’s place, along with cameos from Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Kanye West, Bill Hader, George Clooney, Mark Zuckerberg, Willem Dafoe, and more.

Following up on TS: Terminators, filmmaker Fabrice Mathieu combined footage from more than 25 movies to create this imaginative sequel to Terminator 2 that envisions a timeline where Skynet sends back multiple T-800s to hunt down Sarah and John Connor. The car chase sequence alone is worth the price of admission.

There’s no question that Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the best movie of the entire franchise. But back in 1991, movie trailers weren’t quite as slick as they are today. Michael Edwards edited together an awesome new trailer for James Cameron’s classic action flick, which also avoids the spoilers of the original trailer.

There’s a scene in Terminator 2 where the T-1000’s arm turns into a sword. We’re certain he could have conjured an axe arm if he wanted to. Perhaps it would look like the one that artist Kirill Runz made from a rusty axe he engraved with the T-800 on one side and his molten metal nemesis on the other.

We thought the latest (and likely last) Terminator movie was actually pretty entertaining – if not all that memorable. It certainly underwhelmed at the box office, and Screen Junkies is here with their thoughts on the dark fate of Jim Cameron’s once-blockbuster franchise.

Terminator: Dark Fate might have underwhelmed at the box office, but we still have a soft spot in our hearts for the franchise. Now, thanks to editor Fabrice Mathieu, multiple T-800s are sent back in time by Skynet to protect Cyberdyne, but John Connor has reprogrammed them to attack each other for our amusement.

Chronicle Collectibles and Cinemaquette teamed up to create a 78″ tall T-800 Endoskeleton statue. Based on the robot’s appearance in Terminator: Genisys, the statue is chrome plated, has LED eyes and articulated forearms and fingers. Limited to 100 units.

With Linda Hamilton back on screen, James Cameron involved in the story, and Tim Miller of Deadpool fame behind the camera, we’re actually kind of excited for the new Terminator flick. The latest trailer showcases more of Sarah Conner’s story, and what transpired after the events of T2. Drops 11/1/19.

By all accounts, Terminator 3 wasn’t on the same level as its predecessors. But it did have some cool visuals and exciting action sequences. It also had one particularly amusing scene that ended up on the cutting room floor, and it explains why the T-800 looks and sounds like it does.

Set after 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Dark Fate sees Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprise their roles as Sarah Connor and the T-800. Along with a soldier from the future, they try to protect a hybrid Terminator from a new T-1000. Directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and premieres 11/1/19.

iCollector is auctioning off a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle that was used in the filming of Terminator 2. The motorcycle has seen better days, but it has only 392mi on it and was acquired directly from the movie’s production company. Clothes and boots not included.

The Greatest Movie Moments in the Universe Ever provides their take on the 1984 classic The Terminator, but they don’t think Arnold Schwarzenegger was Sarah Connor’s biggest foe. Their take is that the true villain of the film was hiding in plain sight in the movie’s first act.

AC Worldwide makes Bluetooth speakers based on movie and TV franchises. Their latest project? A shiny polished alloy replica of the T-800 endoskeleton head, with built in Amazon Alexa integration, and an app-controlled HD camera in one of its light-up eyeballs.

Halt, Resistance! NECA’s action figure two-pack features the 7″ tall EndoCop and his best bud, the Terminator Dog. The figures were inspired by Frank Miller and Walter Simonson’s RoboCop vs. The Terminator comic books.

We can’t imagine how much time it took, but Mikhail Kramer replicated all of the major scenes from T2 using Grand Theft Auto V and a number of custom models. It’s been condensed to just an hour, but it’s still incredible. If nothing else, watch the canal chase sequence.

MudbrainsTvDIY gives us a brief glimpse at an amazing build – he replicated the T-800 arm that Miles Dyson had in Terminator 2. It’s made entirely from cardboard, glue, and varnish. If you’ve got about 7 hours to spare, you can watch how he built it, step by laborious step.

An aging Batman infiltrates Skynet’s headquarters to upload a virus that will destroy the evil A.I. once and for all. But Skynet’s not going down without a fight and sends a T-800 after the Dark Knight. A fun stop motion short by Captain McKay Random.

Jason Yang performs a spot-on violin and keyboard medley of two themes which should be immediately familiar to fans of horror and sci-fi – Bear McCreary’s The Walking Dead, and Brad Fiedel’s The Terminator. You got your undead peanut butter in my cyborg chocolate!

While Terminator: Genisys and the Robocop reboot were both duds, we’ll always have the original films to enjoy. And thanks to Antonio Maria Da Silva, we have the ultimate showdown between the two robotic killers too. Be sure to watch Episode 2 and Episode 3.

Animator Nate Ziller envisions a world in which John Connor and SkyNet keep sending back more and more Terminators to disrupt the timeline. Despite the low budget, it’s more coherent and satisfying than Terminator: Genisys.

When Arnold said “I’ll be back,” he didn’t ever say where he was going, or how long he’d be gone. ADHD sets the record straight on where this T-800 went when he went off screen. Terminatin’ is exhausting business after all.

Screen Junkies points out major plot holes and cheesy moments in T2:Judgment Day, while reminding us that the franchise truly reached its zenith back in 1991, and that Hollywood probably should have left well enough alone.
