The "All things TERMINATOR" thread.

Awesome. I have no VHS copies. I've got old VHS box sets of the Alien trilogy (as it was then) and the Indiana Jones trilogy (again, as it was then) but no Terminator. In fact I don't remember ever owning T1 or T2 on VHS. Until DVD came along I must have been living off TV-recorded copies.

As did I. First time I got them on VHS. Not gonna watch it, but this just is a beautiful boxset.

Yeah I'm the same; owned them all on DVD, but back in the day I did most of my Terminator viewing off old VHS TV recordings. I've just remedied that recently and have been hunting my favs on VHS as part of my little office setup

Man, remember old arguments like ''Who the hell recorded over T2?!! I specifically had 'do not record over' written on the label!!'' Those were the days. Well, they were days.

When you break the tab off the cassette and someone sellotapes over it!

Haha, thankfully I was the only one in the household competent enough to operate the recording function, so that task was left entirely to me lol. But my labelling wasn't the best, so I did tape over some favs by mistake a few times. I really felt like an accomplishment successfully taping a big name movie and editing out all the commercial breaks.

In my house our attempt to do this with The Empire Strikes Back was a tragic failure. We forgot to resume recording somewhere during the Dagobah section of the film and didn't notice till the escape from Cloud City! And that was our copy of the film for some time afterward. Finally getting to see the full movie again when we bought the trilogy in 1994 was a revelation to child me. ''Holy ***t, Han Solo shot at Darth Vader!'' There was all this stuff I had completely forgotten about.
