Something has been bothering me (not really bothering, but you know what I mean) about the scene in the gun store. Why didn't Arny just go in there and kill the owner first and not have an actual conversation with him?

Something like this:
Terminator enters store. Scuffling noises heard from inside, followed by a thud. Terminator exits store with guns in hand/bag/whatever.


Just wondering.

Terminator: Phased-Plasma Rifle in the 40-Watt Range

Dealer: Just what you see pal.

Terminator: 9mm Uzi


and on a similar note:
Movies with weapons that havent been made yet.

he dident know what the 9mm UZI was and needed the owner to give it to him

In all reality it would have been a gay 16in barreled uzi carbine.

If it was not for that scene we would not have ever got:


"Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40Watt Range"

Because he was going to buy them honestly, and then realized he had forgotten his ID and figured it would be easier to murder the dealer instead of time traveling home and getting it.

I have never understood that line.

It's like saying  "Massive Full-Auto Ballistic Deathmaster 5000 in 22lr"

Murdering the guy first would've given him less time to escape before the neighbors called the cops.

Just to be pedantic, I think he said 40 megawatt range.

40 watts would seem a little enemic, unless he was huntin' insects.

I did not see the movie "Termintor".  What's it about?

He said 40 watts.  They probably tried sixty takes with Arnold mangling the word Megawatt, then just said fukit, say 40 watts.

Or it was a simple fuck up like Han Solo saying the Falcon will do the Kessel Run "less than twelve parsecs".
Yea, they came up with a BS black hole story to cover for it.
Still a stupid line.

Well, not that they used on-screen...

Remember that big turret on the top of the APC that they never used?  Heh heh...  Watch the full Collector's Edition.  Hudson has a thing or two to say about those guns...

"Check it out - independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase-plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic eeeeelectronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks...!"

Maybe he wanted to hear his voice in case he needed to re-produce it in the future.

Consider that a 300mW laser from wickedlasers.com will burn through a bunch of stuff really quick, I think 40W would do quite a bit of damage when concentrated into a small dot like a laser is, and like I expect the phased plasma to be.
