Was fun to watch Terminator 2, then The Terminator (original) right after. There were so many little nods to the first like, the ripping off the steering column to hotwire the car vs. the kid showing him keys above the visor.
Also interesting the 3 actors in The Terminator also in Aliens, like Lance Hendrickson. And the future scenes very reminiscent of Aliens… similar models or special effects artists/feel??
But one thing stands out as goofy. Arnold suddenly loses eyebrows (and gains prosthetics over his eyebrow area) halfway throuh the movie a little while before the eye cut scene. Maybe they thought it’d make him seem inhuman in a subtle way, but it was just weird for me. Did this influence all the Japanese bad guys not having eyebrows thing??? (Update, apparently the fire in an earlier scene burns off his eyebrows and shortens his hair. Reducing his humaness in parts and pieces as the movie goes on.)
