And he actually did wear a pair of those fruity star sunglasses in one scene in the third film as well, if anyone remembers.
And he broke em soon after. Let’s not talk about T3.
Ah, i enjoyed the third one, i’m sick of the 2nd film, as good as it was it’s just a kid’s version of the first one, which is the only one that really stands the test of time. I’d be fine with all Terminators apart from the first film being erased from existence. It’s a brutal, scary horror thriller as opposed to T2, a fucking candy-ass FX extravaganza that betrays what was so great about the original by making him the good guy who doesn’t kill people. That set the template for everything after, the “good” Terminator, boring. Actually, i take that back, the only thing of merit after the first film was The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which i expected to be crap, but it was great, it did interesting new things with the terminators, unlike the films, which took no chances whatsoever and were happy to tread the same old ground. I suppose the end of T3 was pretty downbeat too, i did like that.
He wore Gargoyles in the first one. Ray Bans might have been in the second.
Pretty sure it was gargoyls all the way through. For some reason I remember a commercial for them when t2 came out.

He wore Gargoyles in the first film for sure.
In T2 he apparently wore Persol Mefflecto Ratti model 58230 sunglasses. My fellow Terminator nerds at the Terminator Files forum seem to say so at least: http://www.terminatorfiles.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5147

Kids version? No fucking way. It was a logical extension of the first one and, in my opinion, is superior and is also on of the best films ever made. T2 definitely stands the test of time. The first one, while I still fucking love it, does not. It does seem quite dated. Especially the soundtrack… though Kyle’s Nikes are fucking sweet still.
The third one was unnecessary but it has it’s moments. It’s fun to watch if you don’t take it seriously and or consider it canon, I guess. I really liked the part where the T-850 gets out of the wrecked chopper at the end and you can see all the moving parts in his steel/mechanical jaw when he says, “I’m back.”. That looked so cool. If only there was more shots like that.
The ending with the bombs going off into the sky and the score in the background is the saving grace for T3. Really great moment and quite somber. Now as for Terminator: Salvation… that movie was an all around abortion. PG-13 Terminator movie? Get the fuck out. I left the theater pissed. Ranting to my girlfriend the whole ride home about how they fuck things up so badly and all of the plot holes and ridiculousness.
I enjoyed The Sarah Conor Chronicles too. I also thought it was going to suck and was fully prepared to sit and make snarky comments about it while rolling my eyes. Wound up watching it until it’s unfortunate end. I don’t consider it canon just like I don’t consider the last two films to be, but it’s way more interesting than the last two films.
I loved the weird relationship between John and Cameron. I remember one scene where it was kinda weird like… are they gonna fuck? Then you start wondering if you had a hot ass terminator like her walking around your home naked, would you hit it? What’s the difference? She’s a machine, yeah, but she’s able to learn and make decisions. Can she learn to have emotions?
/rant
Yeah, Cameron was one hot fucking robot alright.
But would you fuck her? These are the deeper questions we need answered. Would you guys fuck a hot terminator?
As long as she raised her hand and swore not to kill me. Or throw me about like poor Rick Rossovich in The Terminator, at Ginger’s place.
Unless you’re into that sort of thing, of course.
