Sure. Would've been a completely different movie, though. But I also feel that way with Lance Henriksen or OJ Simpsons in the role.
She also would've been a great Terminator if they/Cameron had made T3 directly after T2. Imagine her and Arnold going at it? [mjpopcorn.gif]

Now a days though, If they ever decided to go The Female Terminator route again (They did in the 3rd Movie with Kristanna Loken) then I think that the Top 5 Best Choices (to me at least) to play that role would be Scarlett Johansson, Gina Carano, Angelina Jolie, Tricia Helfer, or Ronda Rousey.

It's really hard to imagine such iconic roles being cast differently. You know. I don't know if I'd have enjoyed The Terminator with Nielsen in the titular role. She was eye candy at the time but I doubt id have taken her seriously as the threat the Terminator was.

There was a female Terminator film-never seen it but
EVE OF DESTRUCTION.
I don't think it would have worked in 1984 because the context would change like the beginning.
Her walking naked towards those guys-the dialogue would be different. Why would she want their clothes (except the tallest one might be the only thing she could wear).
It's unlike they would react by saying "fuck you asshole."
They would laugh and she would have to do something violent.
The gun store scene would be different.
Then it would be unlikely they would have her face smashed up.
They had to use someone well-known or at least perceived as threatening.
It kind of worked in Terminator 3 but that so many years later and different in the plot.
She was mostly fighting kids or women.
The woman with the cat, the fastfood guy, the kid at the house, the wimpy boyfriend..

I like the way you think. |

nah, i'd go the route of giving him an emotional complexity possibly.

If going the female Terminator route, don't make her look like a supermodel, but don't make her look ugly either. She needs to look like someone who could be intimidating with and without glasses on.

Rousey would be hilarious as a flawed Terminator mode however, the infiltrator unite no one believes for a second is actually human due to being so robotic, the others would work, though Carano would suit more a Resistance fighter she'd probably fit and do great if they ever did another post Judgement Day Terminator movie or even show.
