Viewing Notes
It’s been a looooong time since I’ve seen this so it was great to revisit it. It doesn’t quite live up to its full potential but there are still some great scenes in this, including the car vs. kid scene and the cafe slaughter. Surprisingly, there was less backstory to this than I remembered, which is probably filled in by the sequels, almost all of which I’ve never seen.
1984 was a banner year for Linda Hamilton though. Both this and TERMINATOR came out in 1984.
