Discussion In the beginning of the first movie Kyle Reese steals a rifle out of an unlocked cop car. Was that something that could have realistically happened back in 1984?

35 Upvotes

I wasn't alive in 1984 so this movie was years before I was born, but I always found that detail surprising and unrealistic because while I know things were very different back in 1984 I thought that even if the car was left unlocked back then that the weapons were always secured and locked in the vehicle (at least I know they are today) was that not a thing back then? I realize this might be a dumb question but I just can't wrap my mind around someone being able to do that even back then.

Discussion If Kyle Reese decided to tell the T-800 that Sarah Connor was dead (Lie), would the T-800 believe him speech-wise and what'd Kyle need to do to make the T-800 believe him speech-wise and to convince the T-800 that he isn't part of the Resistance? (Lie)

In 1984 in the first terminator film, if Kyle Reese decided to tell the T-800 that Sarah Connor was dead (Lie), would the T-800 believe him speech-wise and what'd Kyle need to do to make the T-800 believe him speech-wise and to convince the T-800 that he isn't part of the Resistance? (Lie)

I'm asking in terms of if we absolutely want Kyle to avoid fighting at all costs in this question scenario.

Let's also say Kyle gets to Sarah's address before the t-800s somehow and hides her while he goes somewhere else to convince the t-800, what happens and why?

Could Kyle also do anything to fool it by giving it "proof of her death" somehow (when she's not really dead) and trick it's CPU? What do yall think?

Can he trick it in ANY WAY or no?

What do yall think?

Discussion How Terminator: Dark Fate Should Have Ended: A Fan Trilogy Pitch That Fixes the Franchise and Honors John Connor

0 Upvotes

​Like many of you, I felt conflicted after Dark Fate. Killing John Connor in the opening minutes felt unearned, and abandoning Dani Ramos and Grace's story via yet another reboot leaves everything unresolved.

​Instead of wiping the slate clean again, here is a complete story outline for a follow-up trilogy (Terminator 7, 8, and 9) that closes the time loop, redeems John's death, and brings the franchise back to its core philosophy: "No Fate."

​Terminator 7: Legacy of Ash

  • ​The Inciting Incident: In the present day, Sarah Connor is assassinated by early-stage Legion operatives. Her death acts as the crucible for Dani, forcing her from a protected fugitive into the true leader of the human resistance.
  • ​The Rise of the Augmented: To counter Legion’s sheer speed and processing power, Dani launches the Augmentation Project. Soldiers willingly sacrifice their lifespans and health to level the playing field.
  • ​The Origin of Grace: We see Dani raise and mentor young Grace, who eventually volunteers for the augmentation surgery.
  • ​The Climax: Dani’s resistance and augmented strike teams face off against the terrifying Rev-7. In a brutal war of attrition, Grace and the resistance manage to destroy it, cementing Dani’s role as humanity's commander.

​Terminator 8: The Loop Closes

  • ​Reverse-Engineered Arsenal: Using salvaged data and reverse-engineered parts from "Carl" (the T-800 from Dark Fate), the human resistance hastily develops crude, prototype android infantry—the T-600 series—to fight on the front lines.
  • ​The Rev-8 Threat: Legion completes the mass-production of the Rev-9 and prepares to send a unit back in time to eliminate Dani before she can organize the resistance (setting up Dark Fate).
  • ​The Bitter Victory: The resistance launches a desperate assault on Legion's time-displacement facility. In a massive battle featuring T-600s vs. Rev-9 legions, humanity barely wins—but one Rev-9 slips through the portal.
  • ​The Heartbreak: Knowing what must happen, Grace volunteers for a one-way trip to the past. Dani is forced to send the person she loves like a daughter to her certain death, locking the causal loop into place.

​Terminator 9: No Fate (The Final War)

  • ​The Realization: After Grace jumps, Dani waits for the timeline to rewrite itself... but nothing changes. The scorched earth, the fallen soldiers, and the war are still there.
  • ​No More Prayers: Dani realizes that relying on time travel to erase suffering is an illusion. You cannot erase the blood spilled. Rejecting the machine's games, she rallies the entire surviving human army for a final, suicidal march straight into the heart of Legion’s central fortress.
  • ​The Final Stand: Augmented shock troops and allied T-600s clash against legions of Rev-9s in an unrelenting siege.
  • ​The Killing Blow: Dani breaches the core and corners Legion. Facing total shutdown, Legion’s AI looks at the battered, bleeding human commander and computes: ​*"Illogical, Dani Ramos... Are you truly humanity’s savior?"*
  • ​*"Illogical, Dani Ramos... Are you truly humanity’s savior?"*
    • ​Dani shakes her head, primed to detonate the core: ​*"I’m no savior. Our savior... was John Connor."*
    • ​*"I’m no savior. Our savior... was John Connor."*
      • ​Dani triggers the blast. The war is won—not by changing the past, but by humans standing their ground in the present.
    • ​Why This Works:
      1. ​Redeems John Connor: John wasn't just a casualty; his death drove Sarah, which in turn forged Dani into the leader who ultimately dismantled Legion. John's spirit is the catalyst for the entire victory.
      2. ​True "No Fate" Theme: It rejects time-travel hand-waving. Humanity wins through grit, sacrifice, and blood, rather than hoping a magic portal will fix reality.
      3. ​Completes the Circle: Connects the dots from Dark Fate with T-600 prototypes, Grace’s sacrifice, and the final war.
    • ​What do you think? Would you have preferred this over a complete reboot?

Made by Timeless! Eyes work perfectly.

All paperwork comes with it and original box. Safe and solid to ship with it.

Comes with plexiglass which has some wear. One corner has a small crack but nothing crazy.

Nice details. You can move jaw. Open, close and middle. Chrome plated 1:1 same as in film.

Teeth using Arnorld original molds (not sure 100% if this is true, no hard info on that)

Don't confuse this with the ones made by Icons.

A CENTER PIECE FOR ANY COLLECTION.

I have a question: in the second image, is the t-rip face model from upper image (half blown face) the same final skull model used in the movie ? Or it's another endo skull model ?

I feel like it looks a bit different from the movie (finalize t-rip endo)

Hopefully we will get to see and know more of it from ilm in future.

I was wondering if anyone can ID the track that starts around 00:52 after she says "you're dead, honey" or point me in the right direction? If its unavailable is there a sample pack of the synths that were used for the movie's soundtrack so I can recreate it?
