Like many of you, I’ve never purchased or rented Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on DVD, so this deleted scene has eluded my attention (update: some people in the comments claim that the scene was actually recorded for the T3 video game, but it was included on the T3 DVD as a deleted scene). For those of you who also missed it, this totally ridiculous sequence reveals why the Terminators look and sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and haphazardly explains what happened to Cyberdyne. If this scene was actually in the theatrical cut of the film, I’m sure I would have walked out. And that’s saying a lot considering the sequel was all kinds of horrible. It cracks me up that people actually tried to defend this movie over Terminator Salvation… Watch the clip after the jump.

    that....was...AWESOME! HA! "OOooo It's me!" I can't believe they actually shot that! I'm glad someone was smart enough to drop it though. I would have walked out too. oh man, I'm going to watch it again right now!
  • dag_yo
    If it weren't for the accent, I wouldn't mind this scene
  • Demo Gooba
    Wait a minute. Wouldn't that southern soldier be arrested and put on trial for the murder of 17 police officers in 1984? And the wounding of dozens more in 1992? He is the matching face of the other terminators sent through time! Retarded.
  • Kurash
    Now I'm not trying to defend this film, because it is basically a homeless man's version of T2, however, with that said, I found Salvation to absolutely horrible. And I would much rather watch T3, purely for entertainment reasons, over Salvation any day. Dumb or not, at the very worst T3 is just a bad Arnold action flick, which is far and above better than just a random bad action flick (Salvation).
  • Gelman
    I finally saw Salvation this weekend. What a disappointment. The most pivotal scene in the movie -- John meeting his father -- was completely devoid of emotion. The Sarah Connor Chronicles was much more emotional and thought-provoking.

    Hopefully Salvation will be re-edited before going to DVD. This needs to happen:

    * All of Common's scenes need to be deleted.
    * All of Moonblood's scenes need to be deleted.
    * The little mute kid needs to be deleted.
    * Bryce Howard needs to be given that freed-up airtime.
    * More of the earlier-model terminators. They should operate like zombies do in zombie movies; slow moving, tons of them.
    * No use of the word "terminator," just like in T2.
    * Don't show Kyle Reece until the end; he's the goal, the big reveal.
    * Get rid of the giant Autobot/Michael Bay/collectors.
    * Get rid of the submarine subplot.
    * Turn it into a sci-fi meets zombie movie; make it a CHASE movie.
    * New music; it was horrible.
    * Get rid of the Arnold fight scene; replace with a conveyor belt of partially-manufactured Arnolds, foreshadowing the future.
    * I think you can get rid of the Helena B. Carter character, and maybe even get rid of... dare I say it... Sam Worthington. Seriously, what's the point?
  • ded
    they say terminator a lot in t2
  • Gelman
    Okay, my bad. I had heard that as "trivia" one time. But it's used rarely in 1 or 2, unlike Salvation where they say "terminator" twelve times in the first 5 minutes.
  • At least Salvation is obviously better than Revenge of The Fallen, there's no Racism, no Sex Jokes, no 150 min, and No annoying Mama.
  • CyT
    Wow, you really summed up everything that was wrong with that film .. nice one! Every one of those subplots really was bad, and it made all the extraneous extra characters just seem useless. I never understood it. Especially the mute child character? WTF?
  • pip139
    You're an idiot. If this was the case then there would be no plot Just a mismatching of scenes that made no sense to the series. I do agree with the giant harvester robot though i mean why did it need to be so big why couldn't Terminators catch them and load them into a HK or some other form of Transport. I also think there should of been more T-600's in the film too they were not seen long enough at all. Some of the action scenes could of been longer some including John connor a bit more. But other than that it was a fantastic movie.
  • Drew
    So you basically want them to give you a blank DVD.
  • Gelman
    A blank DVD might have been better, lol. No, actually, I hope McG would fill the freed-up space with character development with a focus on Connor, Kate, and Reese. I'd also like to see more development of the way in which the machines operate -- what's their sociological profile? The Nazis didn't need harvesters to collect and kill thousands of Jews -- they needed intimidation and fear, two things Skynet should be able to foster.

    Imagine if this parallel was drawn out better. The visual of people being killed in mass graves would create the fright these terminators were lacking. Plus, I think it should have been more obvious that they were collecting people for the PURPOSE of finding Reese. They could have interrogated the people, one by one: "Have you seen this boy?".... Just like the cop was asking in T2 when searching for John. And once the collected people answer 'no' the terminators... well, they terminate them. In mass.

    So it becomes a race between the machines and John to find Reece. Keep it simple, and it's better. Just like the earlier films.

    Then there's also a parallel across time: The terminators are trying to kill the entire Connor family: Sarah in the '80s, John in the '90s, and Reese in 2018. It's consistent and it's entertaining.
  • DC
    Yeah like TSCC is just such a awesome show god you people are such idiots I bet you like crap like Transformers 2.Sheesh no wonder I hate kids.
  • Edward
    WOW.......

    Somehow even worse than "Take off your clothes."
  • Joe
    Supposedly, this scene was on a few early prints and was cut on a larger scale after preview scenes (at least, according to Wikipedia).

    "I don't know about that accent" is comedy gold though.
  • quintushalls
    If Terminator Salvation was going to be bad, then it should have been campy. This scene is perfect and hilarious!
  • Jordan
    reminds me of Starship Troopers. haha.
  • tHE
    Yah. Honestly, this scene is so off-the-wall that it probably would've swayed a lot of people's "this film is not original" complaints about Rise of the Machines.

    Also... you know why people are defending this film all-of-a-sudden... It's because this film at least made an effort to NOT suck or ruin an entire franchise. It had heart... it just didn't go so well at the end of the day. T3 > T4 AND THAT IS THE TRUTH.
  • Drew
    Same here, immediately thought of Starship Troopers.
  • Craigasorusrex
    Wow. Just wow. Terminator Salvation still sucks but this is just miserably cheesy. Cameron I'm sure would face palm if he watches this deleted scene.
  • LUNI
    HAHAHA!! That was the shit! It Should of been in the movie :D
  • Oh my lord. That is hilarious!
  • you can understand why it was cut alright, I would have liked to have seen a more serious version of this, we will probably see arnie being a top kick ass commando on which the T800 is based on in the forthcomming movies, but for me t3 is slightly better than salavation mainly because it is a proper terminator movie, the new ones although bearing a resemblence and the name are really going down another route and I think we'll get a better flavour for it in part 5. I d also have prefered mostow at the helm than McG, what a ponce!
  • KBillyRaDiO
    A good idea in theory. In execution, terrible. At least it was deleted. Personally, I too find T3 more entertaining than Salvation, just because T3 was going for a comical tone, and it succeeded in being what it wanted to be. The same cannot be said for Salvation, which was unintentionally laughable due in part to the terrible dialogue and how serious it was trying to be. It's hard for the audience to be invested in the plot in a serious manner if they don't know what the hell the plot even is. T3 is no where in the same league of the first two, but it at least accomplishes what the filmmakers set out to accomplish.
  • Evan
    Those are my sentiments exactly!
  • jack
    reminds of robocop .. nothing wrong with it.. have fun
  • Sketch
    Definitely had a Robocop, Total Recall even, feel too it. I don't think T3 was going for a comical tone, but at least it didn't take itself as seriously as T4. While it had some decent action, I still find T3 much more entertaining to watch, and that's the only reason why I own it at least. I'm not saying it's great but I do have a selection of "bad" movies that I enjoy watching.
  • Except Robocop is one of the finest sci fi films ever made. Especially the full X rated cut.
  • razor
    i'm speechless
  • Oh My God. I'm appalled. That accent is hilarious!
  • Corey
    Yeah, count me in on the 'at least Terminator 3 was fun' camp. Salvation was just interminable...yes, I used the Latin root word for terminate for emphasis.
  • shatner
    HAHA! I would have rather haved used the money I paid for a ticket for Salvation for this (nearly) 2 minute clip. Atleast this was funny. Salvation was a mash up of boring nonsense
  • Jonny
    Bwhahahahaa!

    Comedy GOLD!
  • TestType
    Um, I'm pretty sure this was made for the T3 video game and was never shot to be used in the film.
  • Sunand3Stars
    Haha! I remember this, it's super old, but its still funny as hell...
  • Daniel
    yeah, keep on trashing T3, it still wont change the fact that this movie was 10 times better than anithing that your Bay has ever done!
  • jason B
    umm...what the fuck was that? i'm not really sure how to react to that.

    however, with that concept in mind, i like the rumors we've heard about robert patrick as the scientist who heads up the T-1000 project for T5.

    now, if we can only get McG booted off the film and find an entirely new writer - we're on the right track.
  • mnk
    AHAhaHah totally ... weird. Ohohoh! It's me!
  • I remember this ... But from where?
  • Parakeet
    It cracks you up that people tried to defend a movie that is far superior to the joke of a film Terminator Salvation?

    T3 is a GOOD ACTION MOVIE, with a GREAT final 30 minutes, from the father's death on.

    Just because you got your panties in a bunch with hype hoping for another T2 and it let you down doesn't mean it's awful.
  • Daniel
    What he said..

    Think of that, why do you even think that T3 was a bad movie Peter? Want to explain, with details? Because it wasn't loyal to T1 and T2 philosophy? It's not good enough of a reason for me.
  • I didn't like or buy Nick Stahl as John Connor. Claire Danes could have not even been in the film and it really wouldn't have mattered. Kristinna Loken's Terminator was a far cry from Arnold in the first one of the t1000 in T2. Some of the comedy in the film was worse than the low moments in the Transformers films. Sarah Connor hides a cache of weapons in her grave? The action scenes were few, the special effects were unimpressive. The story was the definition of unoriginal and middle of the road. I have so many problems with the film...
  • Daniel
    Well, he was a LOT better than Christian Bale, and the special effects was not that great but also not as bad as David Chen made them sound like, the action scenes were NOT a few (saw the film last night) and they were great! And also, the comedy in the film was great in my ("Talk to the hand!") opinion and Kristinna Loken was not as good as Robert Patrick was but she was all right as a cold killing machine and about the "Sarah Connor hides a cache of weapons in her grave?" part... Well, i can mention bigger holes in T2, so...

    Oh, and the ending was great and ballsy and make up for all the flaws in my opinion.
  • Demo Gooba
    Holes in T2? Oh, please, enlighten us on the "holes" in one of the greatest action movies of all time. I'm tickled. Lets see if any are as big as...say...anything in T3 or T4?
  • Gelman
    One of the problems with T3 -- although this will sound stupid -- is that too much of it took place during the daytime. Imagine how much better the graveyard scene would have been at night; it would have added to the atmospherics we've come to expect from Terminator and just that LITTLE change would have helped... some. Same for the truck chase scene, the desert scenes, and the other outdoor scenes.
  • Daniel
    It still had some great dark scenes in it, like the skulls in the bottom of the sea.
  • Daniel
    Oh, and Sciretta, it's an unlockable scene from the T3 video game and not a deleted scene from the movie. And it's *suppose* to be funny.
  • If you look at the above post, I added an update after the first person commented about it potentially being from the video game. And I think that its pretty obvious that its "supposed" to be funny.
  • Parakeet
    That's pretty much how I feel about Terminator Salvation. It is basically a horrid insult to the entire terminator series and science fiction in general. Far too many lapses in logic and holes in plot to be made up for by a couple of action sequences that are passable at best. The dialogue is some of the silliest I've heard in any film in a long, long time. Full of just weird John Connor monologues and stuff that takes itself far too seriously and is too poorly written to do that. Claire Danes could have not been in T3? Bryce Dallas-Howard has the second most useless character in the Terminator series, bested only by Common's character, who functions as a black prop. All of the stuff with Dallas-Howard was embarrassing, manufactured, pseudo-relationship garbage that we couldn't care less about. Actually, the only thing we did care less about was the Marcus/Blair relationship. The only thing remotely OK about Terminator Salviation is Anton Yelchin's Kyle Reese impersonation.
  • Colonel_Kurtz
    The fact that Bale was supposed to play Marcus but insisted on playing John Connor makes me think they scrambled to rearrange the story and ended up with a jumbled mess. I think this was supposed to be a passing of the torch from John to Marcus for a new trilogy. I mean, come on, a human wouldn't stand a chance in that war. But you can't hire Christian Bale and not let him play John Connor, and you can't NOT hire Christian Bale.
