I noticed something... (movies)

[Dude_Doc]

Remember the movie Terminator? Well, you may or may not also remember that the company that created the SkyNet (the A.I. that controls all terminators), is called "CyberDyne".

Now, there is a little note in the movies "Aliens" about this too. Before they set down on the planet, they have a meal/"breakfast". The android, Bishop makes his famous "knife-trick", and then goes to the table where Ripley (main character) sits. The corporate dude says, to Bishop, that he thought that "you never missed". Ripley discovers this and panic. Bishop settles the whole problem after he is informed about Ash, the android in the first movie ("Alien").

Now, listen to what he says. I don't remember exactly, but I am 99.99% sure that last time I saw that movie, he said (to Ripley)something like: "That must have been an older model, bla bla, probably a T-560 CYBERDYNE model".

Do also have in mind that these two movies were directed by the same director: James Cameron.

Another notice: In the first Alien movie, the android's name was Ash. The second movie, it was Bishop. And in the fourth movie, it was Call. Ash-Bishop-Call, or, A-B-C. Very funny.

I wouldn't be surprised.  Directors and writers often re-use ideas and names.

WHile we're talking about the Alien series, just take a look at Alien Resurrection, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.  M. Jeunet also directed, alongside Marc Caro, "City of Lost Children" ("La Cit

[Super-ness]

different films that use the same model?? he should sue

anyways

cyberdyne sounds cool

[Jack Leaf]

Same director, KaL.

[Super-ness]

he should sue himself then, justice at work

[Apollyon]

It's just an easteregg by Cameron, afterall he didn't direct the first film and had no part in the original concept and so Ridley Scott's ideas behind the origin of the robots would have undoubtedly been different. Also, the androids in Alien(s) are not cyborgs, unlike the terminators.

whats the difference between an android and a cyborg....

[Acriku]

An android looks more like a human, with pseudo-flesh, etc.

[Inoculator9]

Terminator had pseudo-flesh... I believe the actual distinction is that cyborgs incorporate actual living tissue.

[Cyborg]

A cyborg is a human who has machine parts. The machine parts may be anything non-living that take signals from the human and do tasks based on them(e.g a mechanical arm or foot). The terminator in Terminator is not a cyborg, because it's mainly a computer with just living tissue to cover the electronics with the function to make it look like a human.

wow

theres really A distinction between all that

i would have been happy with ROBOT

[Vanguard3000]

The Terminator's flesh was more than just cosmetic.  Without it, the T-800 couldn't travel back through time, as only living tissue can do that (hence why those going back in time always end up naked.  Thus the reason for the newest terminator being female, of course).  I have no idea how the T-800's metal "bones" and stuff make it through, nor how the T-1000 gets through, for that matter.  Oh well.

[Khan]

Well that isn't exactly flesh then is it?

[TMA_1]

the liquid metal contained all the information necissary to fulfill it's mission. It reminds me of the gelcircuitry in the prequels. I dont think it contains any circuits that we think of, probably something beyond that.

[GUNWOUNDS]

Well that isn't exactly flesh then is it?

it wasnt human flesh ... but the liquid steel was not just liquid steel.. it was made up of living cells that happend to be mostly metallic in nature... i dont think it matters whether it is flesh or not.. i think it just needs to be alive.

note*-- i just realized that it was also able to mimic any surface...  including flesh... remember when the t-1000 landed it was a naked man...
