A new edition of the BFI Film Classics: The Terminator book is soon to be republished in May 2021, the book is a study of James Cameron‘s science fiction classic by author Sean French.
To celebrate the book’s upcoming launch, James Cameron spoke to BFI (pre-pandemic) about The Terminator, and the subject of Terminator: Dark Fate arose.
James Cameron stated:
“I recently saw Harry Enfield’s Terminator 3, a cyborg tries to infiltrate Edwardian England. It’s pretty funny. Somebody should do it as a feature. Couldn’t do worse than Dark Fate (2019).”

Watch the full sketch below…
The BBC‘s Harry Enfield and Chums sketch featuring actor Martin Clunes as The Terminator, was foreshadowing, as the franchise has become a parody in the eyes of many fans. The Terminator 3 sketch was a parody of the third Terminator movie long before Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was ever made.
Now a Terminator anime series in the works with Netflix, could a complete all-out parody movie be the next step, or should we just take James Cameron’s words as simply poking fun at Dark Fate’s lack of box office success?
