Bedknobs, Broomsticks, and Terminators: James Cameron’s Inspiration?

Unstoppable warriors made of metal. Bullets won’t harm them. Are they Terminators, or are they…

…the knights from Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

Could this be James Cameron’s inspiration for The Terminator? Not likely. Cameron himself cites two episodes of  The Outer Limits, “The Demon with the Glass Hand” and “Soldier,” as inspirations for the franchise, but it’s still fun to think…what if? And besides, pretty much any movie scene is made better by laying the Terminator theme music underneath it.

[Readers who are as excited as Lee is about the upcoming Terminator: Salvation should make sure to read all of Overthinking It’s prior Terminator coverage.]
