Fantastic film - Arnie at his best

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2005)

I absolutely love this film - the first time I saw it, I was about eight and I found it immensely scary watching people being hunted down by the ultimate cold, ruthless killing machine. Looking back the special effects weren't that great but at the time it seemed all too real. I think the second and third films lost their way in the sense that the 'baddies' weren't scary (with the exception of Robert Patricks eyes) and too much humour was injected.
While the debates continue about Johns age throughout the trilogy, I'd just like to point out the other time "mistake" in case some of you aren't aware of it. At the start of the film it stats that it's L.A. 1984. When Reece struggles with the policeman he asks what day it is to which the reply is "12th May Thursday" - the 12th of May was actually a Saturday.......
