Something I still don't understand
Why was the Terminator driving and Sarah fighting off the T-1000? They very easily could have switched places. Also why didn't Sarah put on a bullet proof vest?
shareSimply because people in movies sometimes make bad decisions, nothing more.
If you pay attention, most movies and their conflicts are based around humans making bad choices.
You could ask this of every movie:
Why didn't Luke just stay home and rebuild?
Why didn't Indiana Jones just stay teaching?
On and on and on
It's not exactly making bad decisions. The terminator was the only one capable of stealing the swat van, once they escaped the Terminator wanted to gain as much distance from there as possible. It's not like they had time to stop and switch spots. The T-1000 was on them, at that point why stop the van and be a sitting duck for the T-1000. They didn't exactly have the time on their side with everything going on.
shareThey can switch spots while driving, its been done before. Also why not just close the door? The door is bullet proof.
shareYou're really reaching for straws with this topic. Switching spots in a swat van would require them to stop the van otherwise it's more dangerous and they could easily lose control of it. They could close the door but then what? Wait for the T-1000 to just keep shooting the vehicle until it eventually would be damaged far too much to drive, or just slam the brakes and wait for it to crash into the vehicle? It's simply an action scene and I commented on this already; slamming the brakes and close the door would be a pretty boring scene, any movie throws some logic out the window for the sake of entertaining the audience. So trying to nitpick this is pretty pointless and no a swat van door is not fully bullet proof. Depends on the rounds maybe a .22 or 9mm wouldn't penetrate much but any other caliber could.
shareThen why did they literally switch spots 5 minutes later in the truck??? Why were Kyle and Sarah able to trade places in the first movie? No one is reaching for straws other than yourself, numb nuts and no matter how “dangerous” it may or may not have been, nothing was more dangerous than not closing the door therefore allowing the T-1000 to shoot Sarah and potentially John (hell if he hadn’t been under the bullet proof vests he would have died right there)
Closing the door would have at least prevented the T-1000 from shooting Sarah which by the way SLOWED THEM DOWN LATER IN THE MOVIE!!!! Not to mention that John (who was the actual target of the T-1000 was in the fucking van)
Also since you bring this up I’ll entertain it: The T-1000 was firing at them with a Heckler and Koch MP5K which is indeed a 9mm, so yes the door would have stopped the bullets.
Are you trolling me or are you really that stupid?
