Line 6:
* The second [[Car Chase]] is remembered most for its satisfying conclusion, when Kyle shoves a pipe bomb up the exhaust pipe of a gas tanker and causes it to explode, supposedly taking the T-800 with it. Sarah also deserves props for managing to stay ahead of the truck ''on foot'' for about thirty seconds.
* Kyle's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] definitely counts, when he pulls the same trick as he did with the tanker, only this time he shoves the pipe bomb directly into the T-800's chassis, ''blowing its legs off''.
** His line before taking the T-800 on is pretty cool too.
{{quote| '''Kyle Reese:''' Come on Motherfucker.}}
* Sarah gets a Moment of Awesome of her own after that when, after barely managing to crawl ahead of the T-800, who is ''still trying to kill her'', she manages to trap it in a hydraulic press and pushes the button after saying: [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|"You're terminated, fucker."]]
* Special mention goes to Matt. We barely know of the guy save for the phone sex scene he accidentally called Sarah for, intending to speak to Ginger. Yet, he seems to be a nice enough guy to get along with both girls, even affectionately kissing Sarah goodbye when she goes out for the night. After sex with Ginger, the Terminator comes in mistaking Ginger for Sarah and Matt for the future father of John Connor. After dodging a punch from the killer, which judging by the ruined pillow would have ended Matt then and there, Matt doesn't hesitate. He tries to hit the Terminator with a lamp. Naturally it doesn't work and the Terminator throws him against the dresser. Matt doesn't give up, even tackling the Terminator hard enough to push him back. Granted, the Terminator eventually overwhelms and kills Matt, but this scene is an example of why the humans will win against Skynet. Because humans may be weak against machines, but they don't know when to quit even when unarmed.

Line 23 ⟶ 26:
* Once they're in the factory, the T-1000 has a little trouble moving in the liquid nitrogen, and the T-800 tells him [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|"Hasta la vista, baby,"]] before ''shattering him into a million pieces''. He gets better, but that was still pretty damn awesome.
* Sarah gets yet another one near the very end, when the T-1000 assumes her form to try and trick John. She tells her son to get down, then blasts the Terminator from behind with a huge-ass shotgun, which she then ''pumps one-handed'', and fires again, and again, and again, until the T-1000 is standing right over the edge. She runs out of ammo before she can land the killing blow, but that's where the T-800 comes in, riding a cog up and blasting the T-1000 with the last round of his grenade launcher, sending it into the steel below.
** The scene is perhaps the best demonstration of Sarah having [[Took a Level
* Okay, this is from the [[Guns N' Roses]] music video. After the song we are shown a [[The Stinger|stinger]] with the band leaving the gig where they come across the T-800. As he walks past he identifies the band members by name, then when he identifies Axel Rose his [[Stat-O-Vision]] declares ''Waste of ammunition,'' Arnie lowers the shotgun, and smirks. [[Big Yes|Yeeeeaaaahhhh.]]
Line 39 ⟶ 42:
'''John:''' Fuck you, you fucking MACHINE!!!! }}
** Though it later turns out that Terminator was using [[Reverse Psychology]] on Connor.
* Kate, who has been alternating between [[The Chick]] and [[The Load]] for the whole movie, has her own when she grabs an AK and unleashes hell on a drone that is attacking her and John.
=== ''Terminator: Salvation'' ===
Line 47 ⟶ 50:
* The sudden appearance of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7YYfgx_cHo&feature=related the T-800], which happens to look ''exactly like Arnold in 1984''. Also notable in that ''this'' is the first time in the film that the iconic Terminator theme actually plays.
* The opening scene is awesome as well. Not only does it hammer in the fact that the war against the machines has begun, but after seeing a lot of scenes of the future from the previous films where everything is dark and hopeless, as if humanity is fighting a losing war, it's just epic and blood-pumping to see that humanity is able to kick ass and take names.
* Teen Kyle Reese and Star, a little girl, taking out a terminator by themselves. And apparently being the only members of the Los Angeles Resistance as well.
* Marcus being told that he is a Skynet programme designed to infiltrate the resistance. His creator tells him that he will not be the hero of the story and that he cannot save John Connor. Marcus' response? "Watch Me".
