If at all, what would YOU change in this film?

I love the film personally, and it was incredibly well done with the limitations of the time (and those 80's 'styles' and music? Lol)

But what might you have changed during the time of it's making?

What would you edit/add/delete from today's perspective?

I would change nothing.

I think I would have edited the eye removal scene differently. Not show his whole head, but just the side shot of him cutting it out and the closeup of the eye, but that's all I would change. It's a fantastic film. Love that 80's style music.

Terminator Geneysis was better this one

Only because it panders to the under-developed like you.

Maybe tightening up some of the more obvious special effects, but it was a pretty goddam perfect movie for what it was, and even the concept of a big hulking human -infiltrator_bot- with a thick Austrian accent in a world of starving refugees somehow worked. Great movie.

Hard to change perfection.
