This hat is known as a straw boater. It's the LEAST likely hat I would ever wear. But tonight I sacrifice my cattleman's-crease Resistol and don this hat because our double feature deserves that level of respect. #TheLastDriveIn at 9 p.m. EST/6 Pacific on @shudder and @AMCPlus.

While he was taking a break from filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown L.A. to get lunch. He didn’t realize that he was in full Terminator makeup. Imagine seeing that while chowing down on a burger and fries. #FFBMovieNight

Earlier in the film, The Terminator drives over a semi-truck and ends up getting hit by one. What goes around comes around, knowhutimean? #FFBMovieNight

The German Shepherd outside of the Tiki Motel is Wolfie, James Cameron’s pet at the time. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the Terminator calls John’s dog Wolfie to trick the T-1000 when it’s disguised as Janelle Voight. #FFBMovieNight

If you look at the wall, there’s a missing poster for Kevin Collins. Kevin was a ten-year-old boy who went missing before The Terminator was made. This same poster was also in A Nightmare on Elm Street. His case remains unsolved to this day. #FFBMovieNight

Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to change the line "I'll be back" to “I will be back” because he couldn’t pronounce I’ll, but James Cameron refused to change it. Arnold would say the line in his later films, such as Commando and The Running Man. #FFBMovieNight

Those who grew up during the NES days might remember a little game called Metal Gear. Some people don’t know that the illustration of Solid Snake on the cover was traced over a promotional photo of Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese. #FFBMovieNight

James Cameron wanted Dick Smith, the Godfather of Makeup, to provide the film’s special effects. Smith turned down the offer and recommended Stan Winston. He and his team of artists spent six months creating the iconic look of The Terminator. #FFBMovieNight

During post production of Piranha II: The Spawning, James Cameron fell ill and had a dream about a metallic torso holding kitchen knives dragging itself from an explosion. This was how he came up with the idea for The Terminator and the rest is history. #FFBMovieNight

Nick Delaney, the police officer who gets knocked out by The Terminator, is played by William Wisher, a long-time friend of James Cameron. He wrote additional dialogue in Cameron’s script. He also contributed to one of the two novelizations based on the film. #FFBMovieNight

Originally, there were going to be two Terminators in the film, with one being made of liquid metal. Due to special effects limitations at the time and budget constraints, the idea was dropped. The concept would be revived in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. #FFBMovieNight

The name of the nightclub where the Terminator encounters Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor was called Stoker’s in the script. James Cameron changed it to Tech Noir, a term he coined for films that blended the science fiction and noir genres. #FFBMovieNight

The score for The Terminator was composed by Brad Fiedel, who also did the music for the first two Fright Night movies, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and True Lies. Fiedel said the music was about a mechanical man and his heartbeat. #FFBMovieNight

#NowWatching The Terminator Tonight, I will be taking the #FFBMovieNight folks back to a time before AI and the machines took over our lives. My last viewing of The Terminator was back in 2021, so I’m super excited to rewatch this classic.
