World Premiere Restoration! THE TERMINATOR, 1984, MGM/Park Circus, 108 min. Dir. James Cameron. "I’ll be back," growls metal machine Arnold Schwarzenegger - and 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 very lean budget of $6.5 million, with excellent F/X by Stan Winston and Fantasy II, THE TERMINATOR is pulp sci-fi at its 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. {Blu ray}
