James Cameron calls ‘The Terminator’ “cringeworthy” in “parts” – 40 years on from release

James Cameron has described parts of his film The Terminator as “cringeworthy”, as the sci-fi classic reaches its 40th birthday.The film was first released in 1984, a low-budget project helmed by Cameron as his first major feature, with the future Avatar and Titanic director also writing the screenplay, alongside Gale Anne Hurd.It starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular Terminator, a cybernetic android disguised as a human, sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor, whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction.Despite the film’s huge commercial success, spawning five sequels, in a new interview with Empire, Cameron has said there are parts of the film that he now finds difficult to watch.“I don’t think of it as some Holy Grail, that’s for sure,” he said. “I look at it now and there are parts of it that are pretty cringeworthy, and parts of it that are like, ‘Yeah, we did pretty well for the resources we had available.’”“Just the production value, you know?” he continued.

The Terminator.The actor and former governor of California paid a visit to the site in Poland after being honoured by the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation in June.According to Metro, Schwarzenegger took a trip to the memorial site and signed a guestbook at the former concentration camp with his famous saying: “I’ll be back.”The phrase is taken from the 1984 blockbuster The Terminator, and the Memorial has since added clarification on Twitter about Schwarzenegger’s message.“This visit was planned to be relatively short. The inscription was meant to be a promise to return for another and more in-depth visit,” they wrote."I'll be back."The inscription of @Schwarzenegger in @AuschwitzMuseum guestbook. pic.twitter.com/eHGtemwzY5— Auschwitz Memorial (@AuschwitzMuseum) September 28, 2022Several fans shared their confusion about the message, with one person writing: “I’m glad he visited and wrote in the book but I had to think twice about the message.“I’m sure he meant it in the nicest possible way and having been there I know its hard to find the right words but I’m not sure these were the best.”Twitter user Andy Donaldson shared the sentiment, writing: “Not sure quoting a genocidal robot is appropriate in the circumstances.”However, another person defended the actor’s sentiment about returning to the site.
