67 WTF Moments From The Terminator Franchise

60. Totally Unsubtle Guns N' Roses Reference - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

You may not know this, but Terminator 2 was actually filmed before James Cameron had secured a deal with Guns N' Roses for their classic tune You Could Be Mine to be used on the movie's soundtrack. The film's overt references to the band were included originally just for Cameron's amusement. All the more amusing it is, then, that the T-800's first showdown with the T-1000 involves him carrying his signature shotgun in a box of roses to avoid attracting attention. As soon as the fight breaks out, he ditches the box. Still, it's a hilarious image all the same: a giant, scary biker-looking dude carrying roses? Plus, imagine if there's a deleted scene somewhere of the T-800 trying to buy a box of roses...

59. The Awesomely Cheesy Synth Score - The Terminator

Brad Fiedel is best remembered for composing the scores to the first two Terminator movies, and though his T2 score has aged exceedingly well, his 1984 one? Not so much. It's a quintessentially 80s score, full of jazzy synths and looped drum beats, and though it will surely seem corny to younger viewers today, it totally fits the scuzzy, grungy tone of the movie. Sure, it doesn't sound like a hallmark of big-budget Hollywood composing, but then remember that The Terminator was made for just $6.4 million, so it fits. It's a truly odd score and one that absolutely feels out of place compared to the more robust scores of the other movies, but personality goes a long way, and that Fiedel's work here has in spades.
