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

19. All The Dead Cops

At the end of the first act, Grace tells Dani that she could put 100 cops between herself and Rev-9 and all you'd end up with is "100 dead cops," which is surely a reference to the iconic police station shootout from the very first Terminator, where the T-800 effortlessly slaughters 17 cops while in pursuit of Sarah.

After all, T2 and most of the other sequels have kept the cop death relatively minimal, with the T-800 actively avoiding human casualties as a whole, while even the murder-inclined Terminators tended to stick to their specific targets.
