Watching The Terminator. If you made the initial escape, would you be able to just disappear and have him not find you? Let's even say it's the 80s. He doesn't have super powers to detect your profile, but he's like a fairly smart detective.

If you got away once, and moved somewhere that nobody knew you, and used a different name, how would he find you? If you picked a random island, or another country, could you just live out your life with your new identity? How would he find you?

Idiot Sarah told her mom where she was for absolutely no reason, which was a lame plot convienence, but if she hadn't done that they literally could have gone to any other state and it would have taken hit-the-lottery luck for the t-100 to find them.

It absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
 
You can't escape its private eyes they're watching you they see your every move.
 
Terminator 3

Skynet can't find John Connor so they kill everyone else that is important to him

Maybe in reality you could run but in these movies running was never an option
 
He can kill her and have her liver w/ some fava beans and a nice chianti.
How does he find her/you if you escape the first time and don't contact anybody?

If you can avoid getting arrested, I think he's just wondering around shaking down random people hundreds of miles away.

It was, but Sarah got found out because she started telling people where she was like an idiot.
 
He has detailed files on human behavior. He knows humans are stupid and will always screw up.

He just had to be ready for the 7 or 8 ways that she would reveal her location.

Whitey bulger hid from 20% of the country for over 20 years.
 
I dont think you could hide forever. Skynet would just keep finding a way to not fuck that part up. The point is to get in there and get it done,and quick. The fact that they went to skynet and stole the chip,etc means that the future skynet knows that the major players where in LA,and keep at it.

The whole time travel thing can get real confusing. I like the idea after the 3rd one that no matter what they do it doesnt stop the apocalypse.

Then the 4th movie can be in the future.

They tried all that but they fucked it up.

Reminds me of staying up real late and watching music videos till 2am as young kid.
Great song.

When you think about it, the original Terminator is actually a lot less dangerous than a decent human hitman. It's incredibly obvious and comes right at you. It's only dangerous because it's so durable. They're not that great at their job.

When has telling your mom where you are require a reason, though?
