The first one had a grittiness to it that somehow made it seem authentic...
It was authentic only if you didn't know what a car was. The technical inaccuracies were mind boggling, and it wasn't tiny nit-picky things either. Linking this movie with any notions of authenticity is like putting "Starship Troopers" up there with "Saving Private Ryan." This movie was simply horrid on so many levels. I shudder to think of the street-racing poseur scum it spwaned (although it did do wonders to the resale value of the Toyota Supra) when it came out.



Don't mind the rantings of grumpy old me. I just love cars too much to ever enjoy these movies.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
