We all remember the iconic moment when Sarah Connor crushed ‘The Terminator’ in the hydraulic press but it was also Linda Hamilton’s favorite moment from the first two Terminator films!

Fandango: Of those first two movies, do you have a favorite moment?
“In terms of like where I was at the time I think that first film, “You’re terminated f**cker!” because that was just day nine in a row and I was covered with bruises and it just took so much. The hand that’s coming in at, it’s like… because we didn’t have anything else in those days, was a 250-pound arm that they’re throwing at my neck and the sense of, just danger and getting through this, it was very, very authentic. Slipping in, you know, fruit juice at the factory, it was just, it was very authentic.”

Hm, I don’t remember being exactly seven years old when first watching it: guess we must’ve rented it a few years later, or something. Yeah, on VHS, hehe; there used to be a couple of “clubs” right on our street (like, in a apartment, even). 🙂
It just ran on TV and it bothered me a little bit, that: 1) she doesn’t get electrocuted when its hand is resting upon her shoulder, when she activates the hydraulic press and 2) while she’d been busy with the “iconic” words, “You’re terminated f***er”, that same hand would’ve -also- been busy turning her shoulder into mashed potatoes. xD
… Although, these days films are *far* more into (constantly!) breaking their own universe’s rules, it would seem, than they used to be.
