80's Discussion Forum

While it is true that the most thrilling movie of the 1980s is probably either Raiders or Terminator, both of which i thoroughly enjoyed, my personal pick is The Terminator.
In terms of action, excitement, thrills and suspense, both films deliver in almost equal amounts.
But Terminator is the better crafted of the two.
Examine its plot and see if you can find any loopholes, or instances where you have to suspend your credulity.
