Line 83:
* [[Scannable Man]]: Reese and his concentration-camp tattoo.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Reese explains the history of SkyNet and Cyberdyne. The [[No OSHA Compliance|Smoke and Fire Factory]] at the end of the climax is revealed as a Cyberdyne building in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuyZ6sQ4AoY a deleted scene.]
* [[Shown Their Work]]: [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] underwent weeks of weapons training before starting the film and wound up garnering a compliment from ''Soldier of Fortune'' magazine for his realistic handling of the weapons on camera (also something of a minor [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]], because ''Soldier of Fortune'' usually ''ridicules'' movies for their unrealistic weapon handling).▼
** Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian Army (he actually went AWOL at one point to win his first bodybuilding competition), so he already had knowledge of firearms.▼
** Also seen when cars are hot-wired.▼
* [[Serial Killer]]: The film starts as a variation of this genre of film.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Sarah Connor, again. Though John has some of this in his character as well, due to being raised the way he has.
Line 91 ⟶ 88:
*** ''[[Crapsack World|Everyone]]'' in Kyle's flashback has varying degrees of Shell-Shockedness.
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: What the Terminator invading Reese's base does in the future. Some televised versions edit that scene out.
▲* [[Shown Their Work]]: [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] underwent weeks of weapons training before starting the film and wound up garnering a compliment from ''Soldier of Fortune'' magazine for his realistic handling of the weapons on camera (also something of a minor [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]], because ''Soldier of Fortune'' usually ''ridicules'' movies for their unrealistic weapon handling).
▲** Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian Army (he actually went AWOL at one point to win his first bodybuilding competition), so he already had knowledge of firearms.
▲** Also seen when cars are hot-wired.
* [[Slasher Movies]]: A textbook example of this genre. It is fundamentally the story of a (literally) [[Made of Iron]] [[Serial Killer]] who stalks his young female victims by picking their addresses out of a phone book.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: The events of the first movie set up a simple, self-contained time loop with Sarah and Kyle. Compared to [[Kudzu Plot|the rest of the series as a whole,]] it's very straightforward, as evidenced by {{spoiler|the photograph of Sarah Connor which Sarah gives to John to give to Kyle to describe to Sarah.}}
