The Skull = Terminator


I wonder if James Cameron based the Terminator's look on The Skull.
Every time I watch Scarface and see The Skull at the end, (the way he walks, the shades even though it's night, his leather jacket) he makes me think of The Terminator.

Coincidence

James Cameron actually based the Terminator on yul brenners performance in Westworld. So no...

Holy shit! I just looked up "Westworld" and instantly noticed that the Simpsons took inspiration from it for that "Itchy and Scratchy land" episode. Complete with the "nothing could possibly go wrong" quote.

No shit.

Also from Jurassic Park ๐Ÿ˜‰

That too! The first one, right!?

reply

Yep! They take inspiration from so many shows, movies, events, it's hilarious. I need to start watching them again. I stopped after the 14th season. ๐Ÿค”

reply

To be honest! I stopped watching that show altogether, after it became "politically correct". For God's sake! They eliminated the "why you little" gag! What kind of society we're living in where a father isn't allowed to discipline his son by strangling him!? ๐Ÿ˜

I had read they replaced the ethnic characters with actors that matched their ethnicity? It sounds too silly to be true but nothing would surprise me these days. I am tired of having agendas shoved in my face. ๐Ÿ™„

Amen, brother! I don't think they even have the guy who voiced Apu, working for them anymore! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Evan Rachel Wood was inspired by her role in Westworld to obliterate Marilyn Manson's career

reply

You lost me! ๐Ÿคจ

>Marilyn Manson
>Having a career

the very definition of mutually exclusive

reply

No, The Skull is a regular human while the Terminator is an unstoppable cyborg. The Skull does not = Terminator
