Man this brings back memories:
To this day I remember watching that episode of S&E when it aired and seeing Arnold's "I'll be back" scene for the first time via the clip they played. Even seeing it out of context it kind of freaked me out as a kid. It's so cool to think back to when films like this *weren't* iconic and were simply brand new action flicks about characters that people were discovering for the first time.
I love Ebert's comment that it felt like "Dirty Harry and Mad Max meet the killer from Halloween." That's about as badass a combination of movies as I can imagine, lol.
And lol at idiot Siskel thinking that Arnold and Reese came from another planet.
