A brief history of Terminator rip-offs (video)

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

As part of the TERMINATOR: DARK FATE pre-show at all Alamo Drafthouse theaters, the powers that be behind the scenes will be sharing a super cool, in-depth look at the wide array of international Terminator rip-offs over the years.

While the video touches on quite a few rip-offs, they focus a bit more on films such as LADY TERMINATOR, TERMINATOR 2: SHOCKING DARK, and something called TERMINATOR 91, which is a shot-by-shot remake of James Cameron's original classic – created by teens and shot on video.

Nice!
