RPM Vs Terminator

The Ghost Ranger · 01/20/15, 03:49 AM

I've been thinking, and this may not make sense but bear with me on my thought process. Did anyone ever consider RPM to be a more lighter and softer version of The Terminator movies?

Think about it for just a sec:

1. Bleak future or Alternate timeline

2. Skynet/Venjix trashed Earth completely

3. A resistance is fighting a war against machines

4. A part man part machine warrior helps the resistance

Thats all I can think of now to compare, but it hit me recently. What do you guys think?

I think its a good observation. Eddie mentioned that he was inspired by a lot of 80s movies. Its very likely that Terminator was one of then. I think there is some Mad Max in there too. I have had the terminator observation brought up a few times. Its also a very common theme in scifi. The idea of machines taking over the world.

Only thing missing is the time travel storyline. Just glad they didn't use Christian Bale.

Dillion kinda was like Sam Worthington's character in Terminator 4. In that he was a human built into a would be killer. They both over came that and became something more noble.

This is why I didn't like RPM. It was too much of a ripp off of Terminator. I want to watch Power Rangers not Terminator the series.

I can diffinitly see where Terminator could have been an infulence. Machines taking over is a very similar concept. Plus you had Venjix making all these attacm bots. Venjix was also a super computer like Skynet.

I can see where you thought that. But I just think its more about the robot theme. Which is very popular in film and television. Long before Terminator.

Probably true. All though I always felt that Terminator was overrated. It was pretty much a glorified B movie. But I guess that works for PR.
