Terminator
3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
In Jonathan Mostow's follow-up sequel with a new T-X
Terminator whose main mission was to eliminate Resistance leader
John Connor's future associates, and Connor himself who was living
off the grid:
- under the credits, the naked arrival of the sexy
new terminator (T-X or Terminatrix) (Kristanna Loken) in the year
2004 - appearing in a store front window with mannequins on Rodeo
Drive in Beverly Hills, CA; afterwards, she appropriated a rich
woman's silver sports Lexus coupe ("I
like this car")
before killing her
- the amusing moment when T-X, stopped by a police
car for speeding and running a red light, noticeably inflated her
breasts to impress the arresting officer (Jay Acovone), after seeing
a Victoria's
Secret billboard
ad for "WHAT IS SEXY?"; when the officer asked for her license
and registration, she covetously looked at his holstered weapon and
noted non-chalantly: "I like your gun"

The Terminatrix's Inflated Breasts
|
- the arrival of the outdated, reprogrammed, monosyllabic,
and obsolete protector - a T-850 model 101 Terminator
(Arnold Schwarzenegger) (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in a circle of fire
in Joshua Tree, CA, who demanded the clothes of a leather-clad male
stripper (on-stage and mid-performance) during a cowgirls' Ladies
Night "Pleasure
Men Fantasy Show" at
the country-western Desert Star bar; he grabbed the man's
hand, applied pressure, and commanded: "Take off your clothes!...Your
clothes!...NOW!" - he also stole a hot-wired truck and a sporty pair
of sunglasses
- the action-filled multiple vehicle-chase sequence
in which the Terminator clung from the end of a massive construction
crane mounted on a truck that smashed him through buildings
- the SWAT team shootout at the mausoleum with the
Terminator's escape in a bullet-riddled hearse
- the climactic scene of SkyNet's activation by Lieut.
Gen. Robert Brewster (David Andrews) and its computer viral takeover
of global networks - initiating a massive nuclear holocaust
- the one-on-one battle in a hallway, men's room and
storeroom (within the USAF's CRS building) between the two Terminators
(a parody of them having sex)
- the finale in which the Terminator
trapped the T-X under a blast door and detonated its last remaining
hydrogen fuel cell in the T-X's mouth - with a warning ("You are
terminated") - in fact, both Terminators were "terminated by the
explosion
- and the awe-inspiring nuclear annihilation of the
world (initiated by the rogue artificial intelligence SkyNet that began
to detonate nuclear attacks in cities around the world) - a finale
reminiscient of the ending of Dr.
Stranglelove, Or...: (1964)
