Paramount to the story - the left arm

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2006)

In the iron foundry the Terminator gets his left arm ripped off in a cogwheel. He leaves it there. This means that it is NOT destroyed along with the laboratory arm and micro chip after the destruction of the T1000, and thus, when the Terminator is lowered into the molten iron, there is STILL a robot arm in existence. The arm is bound to be found by scientists like Dyson who will eventually replicate it. This just shows that you can't change the future by changing the past. World War III is bound to happen but hopefully only in the Terminator universe. I don't know if this has been commented on before but going through the goofs I couldn't find any comments relating to this.
