A Terminator Movie with Motocross Jumps? ABOUT DAMN TIME.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 8:35 PM

For all that the Terminator movies have offered, one thing that's OBVIOUSLY been missing in all of them is some people (or robots!) on motocross bikes doing some sweet jumps! FINALLY, this oversight has been rectified.

VAROOM! So just FYI, this is what happens when you have McG direct anything: Regardless of what the plot actually calls for, he will find a way to sneak in people (or robots!) on motocross bikes doing some sweet jumps. Really, you have to admire the dude's dedication. At this point, the only question is if the motocross jumpin' in Terminator: Salvation will top the motocross jumpin' in McG's previous classic, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. (HOW COULD IT?!)

Okay, anyway: There's a new trailer out for Terminator: Salvation, and despite the fact that the film will apparently feature (A) motocross, (B) non-motocross motorcycles that are not bikes at all, but are actually robots (let's call them "cylon cycles"), and (C) Megatron, it's still well worth a look. Either McG's gonna surprise us all and actually make a pretty decent Terminator flick, or Warner Bros. just has one hell of a marketing department working on these trailers. Crappy YouTube below, good quality here.

Pro for humans: Batman is your leader.

Con for humans: Michael Ironside, killed by bugs in Starship Troopers, is your general.
