** Sarah at one point shouting to a sorely hurt Reese, "MOVE IT! ON YOUR FEET, SOLDIER!" as the Terminator is chasing them. Also, [[spoiler:the fact that Reese is a tough-as-nails commando from the future who survives being shot twice, multiple encounters with a killing machine, and having a bomb blow up next to him, but ultimately [[UndignifiedDeath dies from falling down some stairs]].]]

** There is a rather famous deleted scene where two Cyberdyne employees find the Terminator's microprocessors and hide it from authorities so they can make profit from it. In 2023, Gale Anne Hurd revealed on Twitter it was deleted because the two non-actors were forced upon them by the financiers as part of a scheme involving royalties. In other words, the two businessmen who concocted a dodgy scheme to make money off robotics were played by two businessmen who concocted a dodgy scheme to make money off a film about robotics.

** Creator/JamesCameron himself provides the voice of the guy who leaves a message for Sarah cancelling their date. He later left his wife for Creator/LindaHamilton, and then later left Hamilton for another woman.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Actually mixed with SpecialEffectsFailure. The puppet used for the eye removal scene and a few other close ups is obviously not Arnold, but it's a pretty neat practical effect regardless.

** As mentioned under SpecialEffectsFailure, this film was basically made on a shoestring budget. Even when you count the various examples cited there, the film as a whole looks ''incredible'' for its age, when you realise how much they managed to get so much out of so little.
** The T-800 exoskeleton remains to this day ''[[TropeCodifier THE]]'' SkeleBot9000. Not even the jerky stop motion movement prevents it from being absolute NightmareFuel- if anything, it only [[UncannyValley enhances it]].

* FirstInstallmentWins: ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' may have been the big box office smash and the one which deeply ingrained itself in pop culture, and a lot of people still consider it ''the'' EvenBetterSequel and the peak of the franchise. However there are also many people who consider the first film superior due to its greater focus on horror, darker tone, and the EvilIsCool (and in hindsight, novelty) factor of Schwarzenegger playing the villain. Last but certainly not least is its self-consistent timeline, as opposed to the more action-oriented sequels which involve changing the timeline in one way or another, opening up questions of paradoxes and bringing about an extremely confusing and flimsy canon and parts of the franchise mutually incompatible with each other. However, the most notable difference is that because Kyle and Sarah are mere humans without any Terminator allies, their situation and that of humanity at large feels much more desperate in a way that is virtually impossible for any of the later installments to match; they're so badly outmatched that it's the only time that the Terminator, the character the entire franchise is named after, really feels like a truly unstoppable killing machine despite being a common T-800, even more so than the supposedly more advanced [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]] and [[Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines T-X]] do. Tellingly, it also has the highest critical score on Website/RottenTomatoes, the only film in the franchise to have a 100% score.
