My websites were always targeted primarily for the hardcore fans who almost know it all. The purpose of my sites was too shine light on some very obscure interviews and facts that aren't accessible in well known books or extras that are still available for purchase. However, times change, and new generations and fans come along - and I realized that a lot of my audience consist of fans who aren't diehards who know every book and interview by memory for decades (like all the fans at the Terminator Files Forum years ago), or just never went outside the films. So this is part of a different type of FAQ section, for those less initiated in Cameronverse.
Let's continue with "Why Doesn't The Terminator Rip Open The Safe?"
In the Cyberdyne Building, the second key to the vault is locked in a safe, which John later successfully hacks and gets the key. But then why the Terminator didn't just grab the handle and rip open the door? He was looking straight at it when Dyson was trying to open it.
The thing with James Cameron is that he knows a lot about everything. And that's what everyone from every field always says about him. That and that he does someone's job better than they do. The thing is, safe handles are built fairly weak specifically to make sure that kind of thing can't happen. In the real world, if the Terminator would attempt to do this, he would have just ripped the handle off the safe, rendering it virtually impossible to open. Cameron knew that, and so did everyone of the main characters, therefore the only way was for John to hack into it
