Would probably make a better story thematically.
Their "redemption" at the end could be going off hrt.
The younglings being victims of roid rage.
Test being the dark side might even get it past the censors

That movie is still one of the Chaddest films of all time. I love that the end is 15 minutes of Arnold committing acts of violence with zero dialogue

He was in one of my dad's favorite scenes ever in any movie, but people forget about it because he was young.
He absolutely fricking hits this out of the park acting completely 100% straight throughout it.
And if you don't get why this is funny (I didn't until he explained it when I was like 30 because you kinda would have had to be there are the time):

I just rewatched this movie last week, had to look up who was playing this character because I really liked him and I swore he was familiar. The news sucks but I've been anticipating him being dead every time I remember him.

Didn't Kubrick accidentally capture aerial footage of a secret U.S. base and get his whole aerial camera crew interrogated by military police when they were filming greenscreen background for the bomb drop? Surprised you didn't plaster that factoid all over your post old man.

I never heard that but it sounds exactly like a rumor going through 4 segments of the telephone game. What was common knowledge among us in my slightly post-Cold War day was that the USAF refused to cooperate with them at all. General LeMay was (I gotta admit very rightly) butthurt that they portrayed Strategic Air Command as being a bunch of tards who would accidentally start a nuclear war. US nuclear forces actually have very very well-thought out systems to make sure that a nuke never is launched accidentally or because of nutbar.
Also Gen. Ripper is to a large extent a caricature of LeMay. The cigar is the obvious thing where nobody watching it at the time could have missed who they were talking about. So that probably offended him to.
The USAF wouldn't cooperate so they made all the exterior shots just by cutting pictures of B-52s out of magazines and running them across the terrain, South Park-style. The interior sets they also based on magazine photos. The story I heard was that the Air Force freaked out briefly because they were afraid something in the cockpit was based on photos of classified parts of it. But it turned out to be no big deal.
Did they even have greenscreen back then? I think everything would have been using more traditional projection techniques. This was made on a moderate budget in England (moderate technical abilities
).

That's a little too much for me to wade through to deflate an obvious tall tale for for the younger generations.
(Although I'm saving to watch later when I actually want to see it. Thx fam.
