What's Terminator Zero About?

Want to know more about Terminator Zero?  You can read the show's official synopsis before the anime premieres on Netflix August 29: "Set in 1990s Japan, Malcolm Lee has been developing another AI system that is intended to compete with Skynet. As Judgment Day approaches in 1997, Lee finds himself and his three children pursued by an unknown robot assassin, and a mysterious soldier from the year 2022 has been sent to protect him."

Terminator's Iconic "I'll Be Back" Line

In a recent Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix, the actor and James Cameron revealed that they had differing opinions about what the Terminator should say in his big moment. Schwarzenegger wasn't a fan of what was in the script.

"Sometime in the middle of the shoot, we're doing this police station scene. The line is, 'I'll come back.' It wasn't meant to be like a big moment at all," said Cameron. "It was literally meant to be, on its face, 'No problem, I'll come back.' For some reason, Arnold didn't say, 'I'll come back.' I said, 'Well, just say I'll be back. Keep it simple.'"

Schwarzenegger then explained that he felt something like "I'll be back" wouldn't make sense for his character because he's a robot. He felt that "I will be back" would be more robotic and closer to what the character would say.

"And he says, 'Are you the writer?'" Schwarzenegger said. "And I said, 'No.' And he said, 'Well don't tell me how to f---ing write.'"

Of course, Cameron was right all along, as that line continues to be one of the most quoted movie lines in film history.
