67 WTF Moments From The Terminator Franchise

10. The T-1000 Hijacks A Chopper... And Has 3 Hands - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Nobody who's seen T2 will forget the categorically insane moment that the T-1000 drives a cop's motorcycle out of the Cyberdyne building, clings to a passing chopper, headbutts the windshield and then uses its liquid metal form to slither inside, before telling the pilot to "get out". One subtle but brilliant moment follows as the T-1000 is chasing our heroes on the highway, and for a brief second, it's visible that the villain has three hands, using one to steer the chopper while using two to reload his machine gun. Given how complicated the effect must have been, it's surprising that Cameron doesn't draw more attention to it. It's easily possible to watch the movie without even noticing.

9. John "Jumpstarts" Marcus With Electricity - Terminator Salvation

After the T-800 punches Marcus in the chest and apparently kills him, John sees no choice but to grab some live cables and attempt to give him an old-school defibrillation back to life. Of course, it doesn't work the first two times and number three is the charm. Perhaps if the movie wasn't filled with so many other questionable moments, this one might work, but as it stands, it's just another embarrassingly lazy moment. Really? They jump-started the half-man, half-machine hybrid? Jesus.
