Line 20:
** Adding even more bitterness to the already [[Bittersweet Ending]], as Sarah was taken away by paramedics we would learn that the factory where Sarah and Reese had their final fight with the Terminator was actually Cyberdyne in its earlier, more humble years, with two employees managing to hide the remains of the Terminator to show to their bosses, adding another layer to the pre-destination paradox. This of course was later revisited in ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: ''[[Runaway]]'', a film also about robots and starring Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons (''and'' written/directed by Michael Crichton), was projected to be the big sci-fi film of 1984. Who would have thought that it would be overshadowed by a low-budget film, with B-list actors, written and directed by an unknown who got the idea while having a fever? Not to mention one actor was mostly a theater actor (Biehn), the other one was a body builder with a thick accent who had more bad movies than good ones by that point (Arnold), and Cameron only had one directorial credit to boot before doing ''The Terminator'': ''Piranha Part Two: The Spawning''.
* [[Executive Meddling]]:
** Studio executives tried to push Cameron to give Kyle a cyborg dog as a sidekick. [[James Cameron]] nixed that idea completely.
** A more positive example had the studio push Kyle to expand the romance between Sarah and Kyle. Cameron liked that idea, so he complied.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Aliens|Private Hudson]] and [[The X-Files|the Alien Bounty Hunter]] are two of the punks the Terminator kills in the film's opening.
** [[Top Gun|Slider]] is Ginger's boyfriend.
