Love or hate the idea, it's happened and is in the movie. So for anyone who is as impatient as me and can't wait to see what it looks like:





I think it looks ok and is obviously recognisable as the younger original Terminator Arnie.

Here's a TV Spot showing the clip these screen shots were taken from:

I wasn't interested in seeing the movie and I wasn't sure they were going to do this..

I wonder how much money he got.....

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I was wondering how it looked. Actually looks pretty damn sweet. My bro told me about said it looked retarded, but honestly I thought it looks awesome.

@TheJester - No idea, more than I earn in a year though I'd imagine lol

@ Stumblin - Yeah, to me the stills don't do it any justice as it looks better in the trailer

I think they should have used this more in the advertising. The actor who played the body of Arnie Is even more massive now !!! jezzz.

It might have brought in more money, but at the same time with the limited air time some might have seen it as a crappy way to bring more peps into the theater.

Anyway...it showed the birth of the T-800's. I finaly saw on a toy commercial that they consider Marcus a T-700.

Makes sense.
The original T1 movie had Kyle Reece talking about the T600's with rubber skin, then go on to talk about the T-800 with living flesh.

yep, the movie was awesome, i enjoyed it. it had a lot of kick ass action scenes. and bringing arnie this way was pretty bad ass

Crazyhorrormovienerd - 6/5/2009, 9:37 AM
he's only in it for like 5 minutes...well i mean the actual terminator is there for awhile, but the Arnie skin doesn't last. I thought it was pretty good though, and the theater erupted when the T-800 came out.

IT WENT SO QUICK, I WANTED TO SEE MORE BUT I GUESS THE LONGER YOU STARE AT CGI YOU BECOME KNITPICKY LOOKING FOR ALL THE FLAWS

I thought it looked great and was believable. I bet he didnt recieve anything for it. Harrison Ford once said he recieved no money for recreations of his image as Solo because his likeness as Solo was licensed.

Two things bother me about Terminator.

1 - The T-800 was built to infiltrate the human resistance and blend in. Why the hell did they make it a 6ft bulk of muscle?! Great way to blend in to a group of humans who must be suffering the effects of food rationing, sleep deprevation and an unused gym membership!

2 - If the human race finds unlocking the secrets of time travel easier than blowing up a few robots, we're in trouble!

I think some of this arnie footage came from a tv spot in between terminator I and II. The pan up his body when he steps out.

Personally i thought the face looked animated..which it was..and it looked it. Crap

I agree with Keven. Looks a lot better and when it happened I was like OMG!!! Are you Serious?? AWESOME!!!! But yeah other than that it wasn't the perfect summer movie it was completely predictable and slow at times and I was hoping they were going to go into the time traveling but alas a let down... The Arnie part was the shocker to me.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/5/2009, 11:08 AM
The face wasnt too bad, but it was the eyes that really made it look cheap. I realize how difficult it must have been to render it properly and make it look real, but alas, nice try guys, better look next time

One thing in Terminator Salvation I couldn't figure out was which version of the "Arnold" Terminator we saw. My guess was that it's the one that said it killed John in T3, which probably doesn't happen now in the timeline since Marcus did what he did.. What do you guys think?
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 11:21 AM
The footage came from unused footage from T1.
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 11:23 AM
Slayer,
No, it was the same model as in T1. T-800 means the endoskeleton and Model 101 means that it has the living tissue over the endoskeleton. The one in T3 (or Terminator: Worst Movie Ever, as I like to call it) was a T-850.

That's what i love about you @ MetalHead @ When it comes to TERMINATOR dude your the master! ; )

cbsmitty2 @ yeah lmao!

BCAT @ ; ) ... Nice Article man!!!

Hopefully ARNIE will have a role in the next PRED movie!

Wow, that looks much better than the Rock looked in the Mummy Returns, which is what I was expecting when I heard Arnie was in this.

very CG but that´s ok. I am sorry guys i am just kind of sad for the bad , very bad news i just posted..;-[
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 12:07 PM
LEEE,
That's because I AM a T-800, can't you tell by looking at my pic? Since I'm not a model 101, though, I have no living tissue so it's hard for me to go out in public without scaring little kids or causing a ruckus. I am condemned to living a life alone. My lifestyle is very much like Mel Gibson's character in "The Man Without A Face."

(Actually, I believe my pic is a T-600 but I can't be sure. Hard to tell in the tiny pic and the full-sized image is still pretty small.)

@ LEEE777 - Thanks mate, appreciate it ;o)

@ MetalHead - finally someone has clear up the confusion I had over Arnie being reffered to as a T-800 but he refers to himself as a T-101 - Thank you mate. What was you reffering to when you said unused T1 footage?
ThunderCougarFalconBird
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/5/2009, 12:31 PM
MetalHead - Can you not zoom in and scan the serial number? If you are the man (machine) when it comes to these movies, can you answer my questions raised in my post above?

Yes I'm glad to finally have proof he's in it!

BCat,
I read somewhere that the CGI was generated from unused footage from T1. That was how they were able to make it resemble Arnold from 1984.

Howlett,
1) The T-800 was only Skynet's most recent infiltration unit as of 2029. The T-600 was easily detected because it had rubber skin. They were also taller. The T-800 was one of the models to follow the T-600. With every new model, the infiltration units get better. Marcus's model was ONLY an infiltration unit. The T-800s are built for infiltration AND combat. The reason they are so big is because their chasis are so tough. The T-1000 was the prototype model which was about to be produced (in the timeline that existed as of T2) when the Resistance defeated Skynet. I'd have to imagine that once Skynet began mass-producing T-1000s that the Resistance's chances at victory would significantly decrease.

2) I don't really understand your question. If you can re-word it I'll gladly respond.
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 1:13 PM
Side note: that was easily one of the best and coolest scenes in the entire Terminator series. John Connor, face-to-face with the same model machine who tried to kill his mother, who successfully killed his father (sorry about the spoiler there but if you haven't seen T1 by now, 25 years after its release, then it's your loss) and who protected him as a child. Awesome. It was set up very well, too. I've seen the movie 4 times now. The last time I recorded the scene with my digital camera. (Don't worry, I'm not selling it!)
BCat
BCat - 6/5/2009, 1:18 PM
@ MetalHead - Thanks very much mate. I can't wait to see this film!! You're right, a classic face off! Can't wait to see Connors face when he first see's it!!!
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 1:25 PM
Oh man, it's cool. I knew there would be a CGI'ed Arnold cameo before seeing the movie. I just knew he was gonna be behind that door the first time I saw it (just a hunch-- I didn't know when specifically he'd pop up) and it was awesome. I'm a diehard fan and have been for almost 25 years (right after the first one came out-- I was too young to see it at the theaters but I saw it on VHS not long after) and I can honestly say that I was pleased with the scene and how they decided to incorporate Arnold's cameo. I'd be willing to bet that they'll do another Arnold CGI-scene in the next one where John reprograms one and sends it back to 1996 (T2).

MetalHead - You are indeed "the man"! Don't worry, they weren't entirely serious questions but well done on the 1st!
MetalHead
MetalHead - 6/5/2009, 1:54 PM
I uploaded the scene where John faces the T-800 with the CGI'ed Arnold onto my computer. I could post it here. I'm afraid of legal issues, though. Anyone know any specifics as to what would happen if I were to post it?
