) Scene description A technician picks up the CPU of the destroyed Terminator and orders his assistant to take it to Research & Developement. While Sarah is being lifted into an ambulance, the building is revealed to be Cyberdyne Systems, to the company that will start to create the supercomputer SKYNET. Reason cut From the Special Edition DVD of The Terminator: "The removal of the "Sarah Fights Back" sequence also necessitated the omission of these two scenes from the ending of the film, where we learn the irony of Sarah and Reese's final battle in true time-travel-paradox style. These scenes were also deemed unnecessary because their "payoff" was intellectual rather than emotional, and could be inferred without interrupting the emotional resolution of Sarah's ordeal." Director James Cameron's audio commentary from the region 1 Special Edition and the region 2 Ultimate Edition of The Terminator: "The Cyberdyne ending, where they find the chip and they find the hand, the Terminator's arm. The wreckage of the Terminator is still in the hydraulic press, so there is actual painfull evidence of some future technology here in the present. So we've laid that seed by the end of the film. I think that I would have loved to have kept that idea in the film, but you didn't need the scene at Cyberdyne where they find the chip. Because there were certainly, before the second film was release, people were trying to guess the story. And I heard many people say, "Well there's still still that Terminator crushed there. They could build another. Or did they repair it? Or something, you know." So people did remember that. Sometimes it's the question you don't answer or the thing you don't say that gets the audience leaning forward into that state." Comments A great ending that shows the irony of fate. The machine being destroyed in the factory where it all would start for it. The time loop is created. John Connor has to send his father back in order to be conceived, and SKYNET has to send back the Terminator so it can be created from its own technology. Status The footage of this scene can be found on the Special Edition DVD's and the Ultimate Edition DVD of The Terminator. This sequence also appears in the scripts for the movie and in the novelization by Randall Frakes and Bill Wisher (though be it in some kind of alternate way in which the manager and assistant decide to keep the future technology for themselves so they can start their own company; Cyberdyne Systems).

Sure thing, officer.

Microcomputer chassis. But

Weird. Jap stuff, maybe?

Good idea.
