The Terminator Opening Title Sequence

Opening credits to The Terminator (1984), James Cameron’s iconic nightmarish sci-fi action thriller, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn. Here, two sets of transparent letters, initially appearing too close to make out, pass each other and eventually form the title. The credits come in the form of text typed out on a computer screen, the square cursor being a recogniseable 80s hallmark. Along with both these fonts, composer Brad Fiedel completes the technological throughline, with his electronic score, of which this signature theme connotates the clanking metal of the Terminator itself. No copyright infringement intended. To be removed at the behest of the distributor.
