i rarely hear something like that with my reputation here, thanks )

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Gotta welcome you to the club rickrooster. We expect much things from you. And thanks EcKo. By the way your custom Bane boots are freaking awesome brotha. Top notch work on my T1 custom boots too. I can't thank you enough for a job well done sir.

You're welcome brother , and thanks man i appreciate it

 

[Mr. EcKo]

T-800 is not just a face without expression.
to infiltrate humans better, he has some artificial emotions which it doesn't feel but expresses either randomly or badly programmed.
and i don't mean just "it's an actor and he changes faces", no.

1) the endoskull has little holes all over it.
do you see the places they should be on this copy?

under the nose, under eyebrows, between eyebrows and so on.
those are holes for actual nerves on an actual skull.

so terminator's face skin is connected to its artificial brain by actual live nerves. that allows the face to act.
i've pointed the ones i managed to notice.

Stan Winston was very keen of physiology, i guess that's why he always made creatures.

thanks to Moguchiy H for explaining me that purpose of actual skulls holes.

2) the artificial head in eye surgery scene twitches it skin very strong while it is cut. the skin itself has nerve pain, though the artificial brain must ignore it because it itself doesn't have receptors for physical pain.
unluckily i cannot put a video of that face meat twitching while nerves are cut. (edit - after, not while, of course). it has to be checked actually watching the scene.

terminator is - or at least was intended to be - a cyborg, not a robot with separate flesh cover. in the first script Kyle Reese mentions that it has small "chicken size" heart, lungs and intestines and has to eat - all that for keeping his live part alive. yes he doesn't need it to function, but his electronic and flesh parts do act as one.

Great post P alotta of valid points and very complex , Thanks

When one deserves it, one gets it, bud.

well thank you )
that should basically explain terminators ability to articulate words - another question which will remain a question without that "live face muscles and nerves controlled by CPU" theory.

 

[rickrooster]

Oooooooo this figure arrives in the morning!! Can't wait to get it in hand and feel the weight and solidness of this bad boy!

That was really cool P with lots of great info.

You are gonna love this one man. Bigger and heavier than most figures on the market. As it should be, since he is a cyborg.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

Great info, .P! I always figured that the T800 was programmed to show artificial emotions/reactions in order to better infiltrate humans.
Just awesome little detail...

@ rickrooster - congrats on getting this figure! You will love it!

 

[rickrooster]

Cheers DA. Just want DX10 and Sarah Connor now in Terminator line.

We'll get this version, it and the PSO will probably be a DX that can be changed into either one, just give it time.

 

[rickrooster]

Just noticed a slight fault in T1 as I watched it.

When Arnold is looking thru the phone book for addresses for Sarah Connor, there is 1 lives at 1823, 1 at 2816,1 at 2816... But... When Sarah leaves her apartment it clearly says 225.

Oops!

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Never noticed that.

 

[rickrooster]

Lol. There's a few with the phone book. Such as the Sarah Connor he wants (the only one without a middle name) is top of the 3 in the phone book, yet gets to her last, all be it at the wrong address.

Then when Sarah hears about the second victim she goes to the phone to look thru the phone book and looks on the page on the right... Yet Arnold looked on the left page.

 

[rickrooster]

Our lass keeps telling me I should work in continuity, to quote Arnold in T2, "I see everything"

 

[BadMuthaDude]

That's it! Eff this franchise!

I wonder if Jim Cameron noticed any of this. Based on his reputation, I imagine it would have bothered him.

 

[rickrooster]

Lol. It's such a great film it doesn't diminish it for me in the slightest. If anything the naivety of it adds to the charm. And the pocket money budget they had too! I bet James Cameron did notice, but too expensive to reshoot.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The phone book thing goes against it's very mission statement doesn't it.. to be an efficient killer of it's programmed target.

 

[Dollmanron]

They were breaking the law in most of the places they were shooting, they actual might have ripped out a page from an actual public phone book.
