Terminator: Dark Fate - Every Easter Egg & Reference We Spotted

9. Sarah's Mother

When the heroes track down Carl, they find him living in a remote cabin away from civilisation, which bears a significant resemblance to the cabin in Big Bear, California that Sarah Connor's mother owned in the first Terminator film.

Further to the similarity, Carl ends up evacuating his family before Rev-9 can track them down there, while in The Terminator, the T-800 arrives at Sarah's mother's cabin and promptly murders her off-screen.

In The Terminator we see the broken aftermath of the home invasion, and similarly in Dark Fate, we briefly see Rev-9 poring over broken framed photos of Carl and his family.
