The Terminator Main Theme And It's Variations - #Music #Movie #Blog

A great series with a surprisingly great soundtrack!

So over the years there has been a ton of variety in the main themes for the various Terminator movies, and so I thought that I would give you the listing of them from the beginning!

1. The Terminator (1984):

2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991):

3. Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines (2003):

4. Terminator: Salvation (2009):

5. Terminator: Gensys (2015):

Arnold Schwarzenegger... A Great Action Superstar... An AmazingHorror/Sci-fi Actor

The King of the big screen has had many layers to his storied career!

That's right folks, most people recognize Arnold for his amazing contributions to the world of the, 'Action Movie', and up til a few years ago as, 'The Governator' when he was the Governor of California... But besides all of that, there is another side to Arnold that I certainly believe is worth mentioning... That is his contributions to the world of Horror and Science Fiction!

Now most of you guys probably would recognize him in the field of Science Fiction for the work that he did in the, 'Terminator' franchise, as well as the work he did in the original, 'Total Recall' movie, and if I had to guess, I would go so far as to say that almost none of you would recognize him for his work in the world of horror!

But the truth is... Where as he may not have had much of a horror career, he has done one movie, which... Well it may not be the greatest, considering... It is alright, that being: End Of Days (1999), but he good news is that this side is growing, as it looks like Lionsgate has picked up the horror movie, 'Maggie' which is supposed to have Schwarzenegger in it, and which is supposed to be released later this year!

And as for Science Fiction... Well hell, we got the, 'Terminator' series, and Total Recall (1990), there are also some extremely awesome Sci-fi movies, such as: Last Action Hero (1993)!

Last Action Hero tells the story of a kid who loves movies so much, that when he gets a magic ticket, he ultimately ends up by mistake, not only jumping in to the world of his favorite Action hero, 'Jack Slater' (Played by: Schwarzenegger), but bringing that world back with him!

Now this movie I have never understood why is so undervalued, I mean this movie is a totally awesome fun time! I know, because I just saw it again recently (Don't worry, that review is coming...)

The next one that I thought that I would mention here is, The 6th Day (2000)...

Now I truly don't understand why this movie didn't get more play, I mean Arnold and the rest of the cast did a great job in it, and the story that touched on the controversy of, 'cloning', when a man ends up stumbling in to the world created for his, 'clone,' was just awesome, and hell, even the special effects were the right kind of awesome as well!

Now this last one I am going to say is maybe one of his better movies to have been released as an Action/Sci-fi movies... That movie being: Predator (1987)... Arnold did a great job in this movie, but the truth is, is that I really liked this movie because the story I felt like accurately depicted what it would be like for American forces to go up against an Alien force with vastly superior resources!

Predator... A true Schwarzenegger classic!

Anyway, there are other Schwarzenegger Sci-fi movies out there, I just thought that I would mention the Sci-fi movies as well as horror movie from above, because... Well... These are probably the best... (Well in the case of the horror movie, the only, for the time being...)

For more information on the movies I mentioned above, please enjoy these trailers:

Mega Box Office Hit Movies That Don't Do Well When Converted To TV

Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a weird trend in Hollywood in which movies that do extremely well in the Theater, and do even better when they make it to Blu-Ray or DVD, and I would go on to say make it in to American Pop Culture as icons... And in some cases I would go on to say have some element of being iconic of America... Yet these movies that for some reason seem to almost one for one always seem to tank when they are converted to TV shows?

The Terminator is one of the most famous science fiction movies of all time, yet died with out so much as a whimper as a, 'TV Show', Go figure...

Why is that? I mean there are some movies like, The Terminator (1984) that with that movie as well as it's numerous sequels have been entertaining audiences for decades! So why when this movie was turned in to a TV series with some actors and actresses that are and were big names when the TV show was still on the air, such talent as, Lena Headley (Game Of Thrones), Summer Glau (Firefly) & Garrett Dillahunt (Looper), and yet this show tanked?

Well I have to be honest with you guys and say that I actually have no idea as to why that show tanked... I haven't seen it, but that is just one example that I was trying to give to you guys...

Another one being: Freddy's Nightmares (1988 - 1990):

Freddy's Nightmares... Based an a historically significant horror movie series... Bombed as a TV series... Go Figure...

This show, which was a weekly anthology horror series, and which was based on the, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' series, had a pool of amazingly talented horror movie stars to choose from (Not to mention the fact that Robert Englund brought his role of, 'Freddy Krueger' to the small screen as the host of the series.) It also had some fun special effects, that may not have been quite up to horror movie standards for the time, but it  truly was not bad... And lastly, the stories for each segment were truly top drawer!

And the last thing that I wanted to say was the fact that this franchise was at the height of it's fame in the 1980s... So why did it tank?

Well I can't say for certain, I have been kind of unsuccessful  in trying to find out why this show went off the air when it did... If I had to say though, I would say that it is the, 'Nielsen Ratings' that did... I mean after all they are pretty well known for killing off most of the TV shows that are good, and leaving us with the scraps!

Either way folks, if you haven't had chance to check these shows out, you might give them a try... I can't vouch for the, 'Terminator' TV series, but I can say that, 'Freddy's Nightmares' is an awesome show, and is one of those that ultimately was cut down in it's prime!
