Vintage Magazine Collection: Fear Magazine, September 1991


UK's Fear Magazine was one of the very first English written magazines to give Terminator 2: Judgment Day a larger spotlight and one of the first to include it on the cover. In their September issue of 1991, they scored big for a scifi magazine and got the big guy himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to do an exclusive with them. 

Arnold talks about doing, or rather, not doing sequels other than T2, and his naturally very proud and happy that the movie is receiving such a high praise and huge financial success. He also talks about working with Jim Cameron again, his Terminator character as a good guy, special effects, the famous budget and being a sci fi fan. 

There's a pair of standard photos in the article, but also for the first time in print, screencaps of the scene where the T-1000 pours himself into the Police Helicopter. Worth of noting is that the cover is made using a then-new Photoshop software, and for the time, they did a pretty good job

One thing I noticed, is that at least up to that point, not one US magazine called Arnold "Arnie", while almost every single UK magazine refers to him as Arnie.
