Can the terminator swim? If so he'll just cross the ocean and get you. How long would it take to swim from LA to Australia? I guess if you figured that out you could just continually fly back and forth, thus forcing him to keep swimming until his power cell went dead. Of course, that's assuming he doesn't outsmart you and start waiting for you at the airport. So you'd probably want to switch up airlines to throw him off the scent.
i don't know if terminator can swim. i just figure it's too stupid to realize that i've gone to other side of the world or that it's smart enough to stay away from australia

Given how absolutely shit the movies after 2 were, they should do another one but make it a slapstick comedy. Just stupid hijinks about some random guy figuring out ways to avoid/outsmart the terminator.
trespass onto an army base
terminator will have to fight the army men
yada yada someone brings in a tank or something eventually and the terminator is fricked
This would be very expensive but it would be doable. The terminator can fly a helicopter as seen in 2. Can he pilot a jet? Maybe he could just steal one. Or he could keep blowing up airports until you ran out of places to land and die of old age. This is the kind of stupid shit I'm talking about.
Not only can he surely pilot or learn to pilot a jet, he would have no qualms about running one kamikaze style into your commercial airliner, easily killing you. The plane hopper trick would only work a couple of times, when he realizes you don't have a set address and keep taking flights, you're in danger every time, a sitting duck in the sky.
He took his time with Sarah because she was supposed to be living her life as normal and have no idea he was coming, so he slowly and methodically killed all the Sarah Connors in the area without attracting attention. He wouldn't do this to a target in active pursuit.
We need other ways to outsmart him. What if our protagonist got cosmetic surgery and altered his appearance? He could even talk to the terminator and give him faulty information. Say that the target was in Beirut or something.
Why stop there when we could seduce the Terminator?
We're talking about the future of humanity here, sacrifices may need to be made. Would you take it up the ass from a Killbot to save your life, the lives of your children, of all of humanity
Wasn't one of the late Saw film's posters a giant John Kramer under construction somewhere?
How about this, Hollywood shills whom I know are reading this: Saw 3000. The year is 30xx, Jigsaw's consciousness merged with an A.I. after his death and was rocketed to another planet, where over 1000 years it meticulously terraformed the entire planet into giant Saw nightmare world. Then a marooned ship of the last surviving humans lands on it and is tortured to death by A.I. Jigsaw.

>Steal garbage truck >lure terminator into back of truck >crush terminator

Just go somewhere else and don't use a phone. Every time in T1 the terminator was able to track down Sarah it was because she went full-moron and called someone and left info about her location, even when explicitly told not to do that.
Just flip off his switch and walk away. Like homie, how you gonna get bullied by a computer? This homie scared of a glorified calculator. This homie probably runs and hides when his PS4 is beating him.
I'd report him to the police. A guy like that going around killing people wantonly is gonna attract attention, and as soon as he massacres a bunch of police its media attention and national manhunt time.
I'd try to convince my family who I live with that an armed robot murderer is gonna arrive soon but they don't listen so they're all kill.
I move to a different city. Good luck tracking me. I also don't trust anyone who calls me since I know the Terminator can imitate voices.
Put a bag, facemask, fake beard, nose etc on and his shitty face recognition won't work.
Get him cancelled on the internet for being a stalker. He'll die in the shootout once the army gets involved.
I guess it depends on the model. The T-800 didn't know what Sarah Connor looked like. >knock knock >it's the terminator >Anon Shitposter? >no >he turns 360 degrees and walks away
I assumed he killed her because he thought she was the real Sarah Connor. If he knew what she looked like he wouldn't have asked her her name. That's why anon's idea about the fake beard and whatnot might actually work, even if he knew what you looked like.
If he has an address for a Sarah Connor he is gonna kill every woman there. He'll ask in certain situations for additional confirmation but it's not stupid. When Ginger was killed it never asked if she was Sarah Connor it just killed her. Killed her boyfriend just because he was in the way.
Admittedly it would be much harder now with social media and surveillance everywhere. Back in 84 you could potentially get an unlisted phone number, tell all your friends and family to clam up, and change your name. But he might be smart enough to check records of name changes and whatnot.
I suppose it raises the question of what he'd do after he kills the Sarah's in the phonebook. Does he actually know, until Reese shows up, that any of them are the right Sarah Connor? He might not. We are told only that Skynet knew her name and location in 1984, but not how.
He might try to find other Sarah Connor's in the county, in case she wasn't in the phone book. A good idea that T3 had was the Terminator having a secondary list of people to kill who were associated with John Connor during the war.

I guess we know that Skynet can't "signal" him or anything once the job is done. Does he have special programming on what to do after he's successful? Assume he actually killed Sarah. Then what? He just powers down? We know from 2 that they can't self terminate. Does he just sit down somewhere until his power cell runs out of juice?

Actually, if he kills Sarah in the past that will change the future in such a way that he'd no longer be needed and thus was never sent back. So maybe he'd just fade away/disappear?

I guess it depends on what you want to take as canon.

I have only seen the first two movies, so for all I know one of the comics/shows/later movies retconned the whole thing. Time travel is fun to speculate about.

I only consider the first two movies canon myself. I think that the series is ambiguous as to how time travel works. My suspicion is that given the way the plot unfolds, there was no timeline in which the Terminator did not show up in 1984 with Kyle Reese, get destroyed, and then have its parts found by Cyberdyne and used to create Skynet, which went on to lose the war against humanity sometime in the early-mid 21st century thanks to John Connor.
It seems like a paradox and perhaps it us, but not if we think about time existing all at once at all points. That future was always there, pre-ordained perhaps.
As for the Terminator, I imagine if all its targets are eliminated that it maybe it just self-destructs in some manner.

Time travel doesn't make a fun story in itself. Even Back To The Future is not about time travel, but on how choices people make affect what will happen. The first two Terminator films could avoid discussing the implications, but when the sequels start getting into territory of what happens after Judgement Day is averted, the writers think they can also just ignore it. They can't, but when they try doing so in Genysis, it's not only irrelevant to the barely-there plot but cringe nonsense.
Avengers: Endgame has a go, only to then contradict its own rules before the end of the film. Had it not done so, the idea that you can't actually change your own past but just create an alternate timeline ahead of you while you are there, would work at least for Terminator 1&2.
>First timeline: Skynet loses the war, attempts to use time travel to change it by targeting the human resistance leader >Second timeline: A bootstrap paradox causes Skynet's final gambit to lead to the creation of both itself and the human resistance leader
Terminator 2 acknowledges that John is the product of time travel, and elaborates on how it also created Skynet. It otherwise leaves the nonsense of time travel out of the picture. Problems start in the third film, when it turns out Skynet will exist anyway. This creates a problem that needs addressing and both Genysis and Dark Fate do so in the same shitty way: killing off John. Salvation almost did the same thing, but then Christian Bale was cast. Dark Fate killed off Skynet too, but replaced it with Skynet-2 or something.
A genocidal AI warmind is inevitable, but John Connor can only be fathered by Kyle Reese, who was born after 1997, to Sarah Connor who was born in 1963/64. Time travel made the Terminator story possible to start with, then made it worse the longer it continued.

After his mission is done he just finds some public place and shuts down. Eventually Cyberdyne will find him, use his technology to built skynet, and the future war is created. Easy

Trap it. Doesn't need to be trapped long, just long enough for me to have sex with it after having sex with the chick in 'It Follows'. Let the creature kill the Terminator, use all the dumb Cinemaphile techniques to avoid the creature.

But Terminators are excellent shots so it’s basically impossible to shoot with enough bullets to kill them.

A Terminator could hijack a submarine.
It would sink and have to walk across the pacific.
There's a real chance its power source died or it died of water damage before finding me.
I think pressure would implode him at a certain depth.

If you have a head start you can just keep going on flights and he will never be able to catch you unless he steals a military jet or something.
Fly to argentina, then australia, japan, etc

It's not that hard if you're prepared.

Cut off his arms and legs.
Tie him up.
Butt frick him and use him as a sex doll.
Would a robot covered with human flesh have a functioning anus?
Well we know he was a penis. I can't imagine Skynet would go through the trouble of adding that feature and not also give him an butthole.
Id pretend i wasnt in when he turns up to my house.
Tried and true method anon and successful rate but what if he doesn't leave and waits 4 U?
