What they SHOULD'VE DONE...

Arnold plays a human scientist, the man who designed the T800 in his younger image. A T800 comes back in time not to kill him, but to protect him from Linda Hamilton, who is out to kill the human Schwarzenegger because his creations cause the end of the world. The T800's goal is to protect old human Arnold so that his designs and creations can be finalized and set forth the apocalypse. So now there's a role reversal where the T800 is on the run and the humans are the terminators. The cops are chasing them too. Budget no bigger than $40-50 million.

It was basically T3 combined with TG...great action scenes but nothing fresh or new. Only thing I thought was really interesting was depicting Texas as dense woodland. Most movies portray Texas as either desert or farmland so it was nice to see a more realistic portrayal of the eastern part of the state.

Nah it was best to keep the origin of the Arnold model Terminator a mystery, who knows why it looks that way (ignore T3s deleted Sgt Candy scene )

Personally I think it was the only logical way to keep Schwarzenegger in the franchise without having him be a terminator.
