Since there's the need to destroy all traces of the Terminator to ensure Skynet is never created and Judgment Day never happens.

That always seemed to be the secret to a sequel back in the day.

But, they ignored it (or forgot about it) altogether. Probably because Cameron wasn't involved.

That arm was crushed beyond recognicion. It isn't anything but a big wad of metal. It's dumb how so many people miss this.

You just found a plot hole. Good job

the advanced microchip is what needed to be destroyed, not generic lumps of metal

Isnt it strange the lab have a arm and chip.

The arm and the chip at the lab was what was left over from The Terminator in 1984.

Right, always an arm left behind somewhere

Why is it strange for the 1984 lab to find an arm and a chip?

[–] Bloodworth79 (5658) 4 years ago

Its strange that the only instances parts were left behind, it was 2 arms.

Except there was a chip in one instance, and no chip in the other.
