Kyle Reese: There was a nuclear war a few years from now. All this, this whole place, everything-it's gone. Just gone. Survivors here, there. No one even really started it. It was the machines, Sarah.
Sarah Connor: I don't understand.
Kyle Reese: Defense network computers. New, powerful. Hooked into everything and trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just on the other side. It decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.
Sarah Connor: Did you see this war?
Kyle Reese: No. I grew up after, in the ruins. Starving, hiding from HKs.
Sarah Connor: HKs?
Kyle Reese: Hunter/Killers. Patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up, put into camps for orderly disposal and marked by laser-scan. Some of us were kept alive to work, loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever!
The Terminator (1984)

Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton
Revealing mistake: There is a shot from the Terminator's POV, before he rams the blue car with the semi truck, in which you can see that the car is already damaged. No slow-mo is required to see this, but it is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot.
Trivia: Michael Biehn gets bitten by Sarah Connor in Terminator, by the child in Aliens, and again in the Abyss. All three films were written and directed by James Cameron.
Question: When Vukovic and Traxler are watching Silberman question Reese, Vukovic mentions a guy they brought in who apparently burned something and did something else I couldn't quite hear. What's he actually talking about?
Answer: The quote: "He had this guy in here last week who set his Afghan [a breed of dog] on fire. Screwed it first, then set it on..." [and here Traxler interrupts him].
