This scene might be the coolest in motion picture history and it manages to do so without a single word of dialogue:
-----------------------------------------
250/FX FULL SHOT (PROCESS)
They hold the embrace, silhouetted by the diminishing flames.
It would be a wonderful final image.
Except...TERMINATOR STAGGERS OUT OF THE BLAZE BEHIND THEM.
M.C.U. - TERMINATOR, the last flakes of flesh are falling
from him like burning leaves. His gleaming structure is
revealed in all its intricacy. No longer a 'He', but an 'It'.
It looks like Death rendered in steel.
A CHROME SKELETON with HYDRAULIC MUSCLES and TENDONS OF
FLEXIBLE CABLE. In the sockets of the metal skull, the
eyeball swivels with a WHIR of tiny servos, both glowing
red now.
