The removed scene sets up the entire franchise.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Terminator producer Gale Ann Hurd explains why a key deleted scene featuring the recovery of the T-800’s arm and chip was cut from the movie. Released in 1984, James Cameron’s sci-fi/action classic introduced an iconic character in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s cyborg assassin from the future.
Now almost forty years after the release of the first Terminator, producer Hurd has explained why the decision was made to cut the scene that put a perfect capper on an already near-perfect movie. As Hurd laid out on Twitter, the scene was removed due to some questionable acting by cast members who were not actually professional actors, but were instead financiers that she and Cameron were unfortunately forced to put into the movie.
#TheTerminator financier John Daly’s #HemdaleFilms had an output deal with #OrionPictures but hadn’t yet made a hit . They insisted we use financier friends not actors in this scene, which ruined it for us. … They were paid as actors, via the #TaftHartley act. I think he insisted they be in the film because the financiers were promised a return on their investment and had yet to receive one. Daly never believed the film would be a success. … The film cost $6.
How This Deleted Scene Sets Up The Terminator Franchise The classic set-up of the original Terminator of course sees Schwarzenegger’s T-800 being sent back in time to murder Sarah Connor , the mother of the man who will eventually be humanity’s savior in the coming war against the machines. The plan fails however, because Connor ultimately defeats the Terminator, after being assisted by the future soldier Kyle Reese , who turns out to be the father of Sarah’s son.
But as the deleted scene above shows, the plan to send the T-800 back in time actually does succeed, by leading to Cyberdyne discovering the very technology that will allow them to invent the machines in the first place. The deletion of this perfect time loop moment doesn’t ultimately hurt The Terminator as a film, as its conclusion is still satisfying, but it’s nevertheless disappointing that the film did not feature this perfect sci-fi twist that hints at events to come.
