Terminator: 20 Easter Eggs And References You Must See

11. ...And The Rebooting Terminator Has A QuickTime Codec

Of course, by the time Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines hit cinemas in 2003, the T-800 needed to have something of an upgrade. Or at least, the nerds who provided the special effects scenes in the film €“ including another of the classic Terminator-vision sequences, seen most prominently when one reboots in the film €“ had different things on their desktop. In the third Terminator film, a rebooting robot's vision boots up the likes of QuickTime Player and MP3.com, all recognisable components of the Apple Macintosh operating systems, this time most likely Mac OS 9. It's almost certainly a deliberate callback to the Apple II booting up sequence from the original film.
