The Terminator at 40: Why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gun-toting robot thriller has never felt more relevant

The Independent  

There’s a tantalising moment midway through James Cameron’s breakthrough movie, The Terminator. Earlier this summer, a conference at Bangor University, which Hurd herself attended, included papers on everything from “Gender and Technology in the Terminator Franchise” to “Sarah Connor’s feminist legacy”. “She’s not Wonder Woman but the whole plot revolves around her.” Academics still sometimes overlook the humour Cameron brought to the material – a lightness of touch that contrasts well with its apocalyptic themes. “It’s actually, you know, Randy’s, you know, penny loafers with black tape on them,” he observed – referring to what many fans have always believed were Arnie’s big feet. I ask the producer if, 40 years ago, she and Cameron were genuinely frightened of the dark side of artificial intelligence or whether the idea of Schwarzenegger’s Terminator was just another genre movie conceit.
