Terminator (franchise): Difference between revisions

* [[Final Girl]]: Sarah Connor, clearly.

* [[Finger-Twitching Revival]]: Reese shoots the Terminator several times with a sawed-off shotgun when it tries to move in on Sarah in Tech Noir. Shortly after it hits the floor, its fingers twitch, offering the audience their first clue that the big scary guy isn't human.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Unavoidable. It's a time-travel movie.

* [[Gaia's Lament]]: A deleted scene would have had Kyle [[Manly Tears|sobbing]] when he saw how beautiful the world used to be.

** Though, a firearm would be of no use [[Immune to Bullets|given the situation]].

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: [[Invoked Trope|Deliberately invoked]] by Arnold's make-up artists. Not only is his face given a thin coating of some kind of shiny goop to give his skin a faux-artificial appearance, but his eyebrows were shaved to subtly creep out the viewer even more.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: It's strongly implied that {{spoiler|John Connor deliberately manipulated Reese into falling in love with his mother by giving him her picture. And then he had to send his own father back in time to certain doom, just to make shure he would exist to save the world. Reese never knew his true role in the bigger picture, never realizing he was fighting for his own son. Must have been heart breaking for John.}} [[Shoot the Dog|Pretty heavy...]]

* [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]: "There's over 30 cops in this building. You're perfectly safe here."
