THE TERMINATOR (1984) Breakdown | Easter Eggs, Hidden Details, Making Of & Things You Missed. We breakdown James Cameron's classic Sci-Fi Movie Terminator. This includes trivia, hidden details and all the easter eggs we could find as well as an extensive making of for the film and all that it went through to get it released.
So The Terminator is one of those films that changed cinema. A classic of the genre it made many peoples careers and turned several of the cast members into household names. Everything about it is incredible and throughout this video I wanna break down the entire film scene by scene to talk about why it works so well. This video is packed with easter eggs, hidden details and a lot of things that I haven't seen pointed out before so I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I have making it.
Now though I normally start these videos by diving right into it I actually wanna start of by discussing where James Cameron was at before he made this movie.
Cameron was slowly scratching a name out for himself and this caught the attention of the people running the show behind Piranha 2. Brought on as a special effects supervisor he ended up replacing the original director after he was fired from the production. This guy had been let go over creative differences and unfortunately, Cameron ran into the same issues when he was working on the set.
