Rise, again, the machine


Unlike previous Terminator films-with the possible exception of Judgment Day-which tended to have strong masculine leanings, this new chapter exemplifies Hollywood's trend toward promoting strong female roles. The three female protagonists, Hamilton, Davis and Reyes, display impressive courage and toughness to evade the powerful Rev-9 killing machine, played by Luna.
Schwarzenegger also offers high praise for the actresses, recalling a sequence where their characters, all trapped inside a Hummer truck, fall from an airplane flying at an altitude of around 10,000 meters.
According to the script, the truck is suspended on the edge of a waterfall before it is washed into the torrent, and the actresses needed to stay in the water for up to four hours. However, despite the discomfort, they didn't ask for a break before finishing the shoot.
"Hamilton set the bar very high in Judgment Day. I thought that she was never going to match that, but, she set the bar even higher, not only as a female action hero, but for what anyone can do in their 60s," extols the Austrian-American star.
