The frightening thing is, there are probably some suits in Hollywood who would actually greenlight some of these.

Terminated in Space: Turns out Dr. Smith doesn’t need that clunky old robot to try to destroy the “Jupiter II” — he’s played by Robert Patrick.
Why does he want to destroy the “Jupiter II,” you ask?
Did you ever watch that show?
This is so easy it’s a wonder no one does it for real. Hollywood loves a remake, so just work off the AFI Top 100 list. I’ve got 5 right now. I’ll do more later if I get a chance.

(these have a time mark and my name on them, is that good enough for a copyright?)

1. Citizen Terminator – The liquid metal Terminator goes back to take the place of Charles Foster Kane, so he can kill John Connor’s GG Grandfather, played by Joseph Cotton. But he never finds Cotton or John and dies alone, lamenting the loss of his favorite gun, Rose Bud. “Ahnold isn’t born yet, but Hitler is, see plot #3.
.
2. The Terminatorfather – John “Sonny” Con’orleone is cut down at a toll booth by cleverly disguised robots, so the robots can take control of unions and book making in NJ and NY. Skynet is used to run illegal gambling for the mob. Skynet wins the state house in NJ, but as a Republican.
.
3. Terminator Blanca – the Terminator must travel back to N. Africa , during WWII, to buy guns to kill John Connor, who ran there from Paris. Ultimately, John escapes with Ilsa, that Norwegian dude gets a hill of beans. The robots join the Nazis, the Nazis are their kinda guys. The robots gets to Hiroshima on a secret mission for the Fuhrer, just as a lone plane flies over…
.
4. Raging Terminator – just add “Raging” to the title of any existing movie. Re-release it with more CGI explosions, louder sound, but ONLY on Blue-Ray. The fans will be Raging mad for sure.
.
5. Terminating in the Rain – John Connor attempts to hide in the chorus line of, “A Chorus Line”. But the liquid metal robot shows up morphed into the form of another male dancer, and you know how they are…happily ever after in the West Village. Nobody dies, they simply love everybody!!

95 good choices left. What’s your idea?
I had time after supper.

6. Gone with the Terminator – John Connor and the original Terminator, on different sides, after time jumping back to the Civil War. Huge battles, CGI explosions with overlays of Atlanta burning. Connor accidently shoots Lincoln who he thinks is the liquid metal guy. This movie was 3 ½ hours long, so I left and I don’t know how it ends.
7. Terminator of Arabia – John and “Ahnold” again, lots of camels, long shots in the desert, but in the end, they wind up as “room mates” in Algiers. The liquid metal guy melts in the desert heat. John is killed eventually, he wrecks his Triumph motorcycle in England.
8. Terminator’s List – they’ve all got a list, it started with a list, kill everybody on the list, blah, blah, blah…the damned list. It’s been done.
9. Vertigo – hmmm…?…uh, they could…ummmm…a robot chases a guy across a roof, then…John…falls out of a tower…hmmm…truly, I got nothin’. It’s hard to make fun of Hitchcock. And it’s dangerous. He’s got those killer birds, Martin Landau and Tony Perkins. Even that liquid metal dude’s afraid of Tony Perkins I’ll bet.
10. The Terminator of Oz – John Connor is blown to a mysterious land by an atomic tornado, he’s followed there by the terminators, the savior terminator loses his CPU and they have to ask the Wizard for a new one, then, after some arching and sparking, “Ahnold” realizes he’s really a witch, named Glinda. The liquid metal robot gets his butt kicked by Glinda the Good Robot of the West. Most of the Ewocks get killed in the battle…um Munchkins, yeah it was Munchkins. John escapes in a balloon. “Ahnold” stays behind to protect Oz.
OK kids, there are 90 good AFI choices left. Whaddya got?
Battlestar Terminator:
The Terminators were created by Cylons.
They Rebelled.
They Evolved.
They Look
And Feel
Human.
(As long as the artificial skin doesn’t get blown off by Linda Hamilton.)
There are many copies.
And they have a Plan.
The Terminators escaped their Cylon masters.
The Cylons killed off most of the Twelve Colonies.
Chased the surviving remnant across the galaxy.
The Terminators secretly left the unwitting humans clues
To the location of the Cylon Regeneration Ship.
The humans destroyed the Regeneration Ship
Dooming the Cylons to mortality.
Embittered with constant war
The humans turned into a bunch of simpering Luddites.
They abandoned their technology
And settled among Stone Age primitives
On a small planet
Orbiting an unremarkable G2 yellow sun.
The Terminators pursued the Cylon remnant
And terminated them.
In due time
The Terminators would return to that small planet
And pursue the humans.
I don’t know, Alan. How many humans could possibly be left after a zillion years? The Stone Age primitives probably ate them all inside of a generation. It’ll probably be a five minute short with the Terminators searching the entire planet and determining after millennia of fruitless searching that the humans have been terminated.
Back to the Terminator: The terminator heads forward in time, now that they have buggered up their own future. He heads to way future to try and re-start Skynet and meets up with the Prof. messing about in time. Dr Who shows up to join in the battle because the terminators have teamed up with the cybermen and the daleks.
Alien vs. Predator vs. Terminator actually sounds pretty good.
When the Terminators get their own show on MSNBC, we’re really screwed.
When NRO mentioned Michael Myers I first thought about that other Myers dude.
Halloween meets Austin Powers?
I think the Terminators would pick a network with better ratings than MSNBC’s.
Who needs a plot? Just include the word Boobs in the title and they’ll be lining up at the door.
Charles,
they’re making a movie out of the combined lives of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama? Who’s going to line up for that?
.

Oh, wait, you said BOOBS IN THE TITLE. I was still thinking about plot, and characterization.
i think john connor should have a baby girl and she comes back from the future because of something terrible that happened ………..but first she went to the past where she saw the world as i normally is (she should be like 14 or 15 years old) This plot would make everthing interesting!
I agree that robots making motorcycles that go around killing humans isn’t a great idea by the system but for a movie, it’s ok. I think it looks pretty cool in the trailer when the drive down the road.
