NOTE FROM ERIC:
Despite recent heart problems, political scandals,
a string of film flops and a recent motorcycle
accident, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back as the
indestructible Terminator, in a new film for which he
reportedly will be paid a record $30 million.


The Top 9
Surprises In “Terminator 3″


9> Terminator’s mission inexplicably changes from “Kill Sarah Connor” to “Hey, You Kids, Get Off My Lawn!”

8> New film introduces the Terminator’s Uncle-in-law Teddie, who is made of “Liquid Alcohol.”

7> The Terminator’s origin is depicted using old footage cut from “Hercules In New York.”

6> War-ravaged scenes too disturbing for current political climate, so the new Terminator comes from a future in which people are merely very sarcastic to one another.

5> The Terminator’s new sidekick: The loud-mouthed, wise-cracking cyborg “Phatbot,” played by Chris Tucker.

4> “Ach! John Connuh, wat ah you do-ink? Don’ you know you can sehve da peeple you call a buck o’ two by usink 1-Ehht-Hunnurt- Collect?”

3> We’ve passed the “future” of the first Terminator, so the cyborg is defeated when Sarah Connor points out that time travel hasn’t been invented yet.

2> No, really, that’s not a support truss, it’s armor. Really.

and the Number 1 Surprise In “Terminator 3″…

1> Trademark phrase “I’ll be back!” replaced with “Ouch! My back!”
