Many of us have very similar early memories of a Terminator. Me, as a kid, it was that terrifying, slow-moving train, where an unyielding force persists until its target is destroyed. Sure, that changed slightly with Robert Patrick’s own model in T2, but the overall idea remained that you had a lifeless sort of entity heading your way.

As it turns out, that overall impression wasn’t an accident, and it went beyond a simple thing like Arnold Schwarzenegger just walking around with a gun. Speaking with Men’s Health, new Terminator Gabriel Luna discussed the one piece of advice Schwarzenegger gave him.

“I only asked him once, when we were in the gym, and he let it be known to me that he wanted me to create something of my own. But what he was able to offer when I pressed him a little further was that it’s effortless. Everything has to be done in an effortless way. When you fire a weapon, you fire it from the hip—there’s no reason to look down the sight [of your gun], because you have a target already, in your eyes. . . . No blinking, just automatic gunfire.”

Schwarzenegger himself backed Luna up, saying:

“The no blinking is very difficult to do. In the first movie, we made mistakes where I did blink. And then when we got to the second movie, I said to Jim [Cameron], ‘There’s no room for mistakes. There will be no blinking, ever.’”

I think I’ll need to go back and take a look at those films. I never noticed the lack of blinking, but it’s something I’m sure I noticed on a subliminal level. What do you think of the comments from Luna and Schwarzenegger. Have you ever noticed this? Let us know down below!
