THE TERMINATOR, 1984, Park Circus/MGM, 108 min. “I’ll be back,” growls metal machine Arnold Schwarzenegger – and director James Cameron’s career kicked into overdrive with this story of a cyborg killer from the future tracking down human prey Linda Hamilton. Shot on a lean budget of $6.5 million, with excellent F/X by Stan Winston and Fantasy II, THE TERMINATOR is pulp sci-fi at its very best. “I don’t think we were trying to set the world on fire. … I just came up with a way of juxtaposing futuristic elements with a kind of everyday reality.” – Cameron.
