Directed by: Alan Taylor
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke
Trivia: The line "come with me if you wanna live" is said by Sarah Connor for the first time in the franchise.
Trivia: It took 12 months to digitally alter bodybuilder Brett Azar into a young Arnold Schwarzenegger in 35 scenes, which accounts for less than 5 minutes of screen time.
Continuity mistake: In the bus scene on the Golden Gate bridge, right after the bus flips end-over-end, we see it sliding broadside from Pops' point of view through the hole in the police car windshield, at most a few hundred feet ahead. At this point, the bus falls over the side of the bridge, breaks apart, then catches and hangs there. In the ensuing wide angle shot, even though Pops was a mere block away and racing at top speed, his car is nowhere in sight. What's taking him so long? Did he take the scenic route? Perhaps stop for beverages? Meanwhile, as Kyle and Sara snap out of it, exchange some dialogue, and begin scrambling upward to safety with John Connor again in hot pursuit, a full minute passes before Pops finally rolls in to save the day. (01:28:35 - 01:29:15)
Suggested correction: The police car he was driving was badly damaged when he literally fell onto it. It possibly slowed him down a bit.
This is a guess, not a correction. The car seems to work just fine even with the damage.
But when Arnie was exiting it, its left side was also damaged while its left front tyre was destroyed, to the point of causing sparks. It could have slowed him down.
Pops: Old.
Kyle Reese: Not obsolete.
Pops: Not yet.
Question: Since the destruction of Cyberdyne in the end of the movie, even considering that "Pops" is from the original (now alternate) timeline, wouldn't that fact alone delete the existence of the Terminator?
Chosen answer: If we accept the theory that alternate timelines even exist, branching off every time there is deliberate interference through time travel, then it becomes entirely possible for time travelers to continue existing in alternate timelines, even if they erased their own origins.
