There really, REALLY, were a lot of plot holes in Terminator: Salvation–my personal favorite is how Skynet couldn’t manage to make a better Terminator than the Sam Worthington model despite the fact that the Sam Worthington model existed BEFORE Skynet did. And Sam Worthington, meanwhile, can see all those plot holes himself. And he hates himself for them. Check THIS out–oh, I cleaned it up a bit for general consumption, but I think you’ll still follow what’s being said:
“If there was a big 10 ton robot coming outside that gas station, surely we would f**kin’ hear it! And I missed that! So now I’m going to be a bit f**kin’ better when I’m going through my scripts because now I feel like an idiot for not turning to McG [and saying something].”
Of course, some would say that he was possibly encouraged to miss it, by a large paycheck or a role in a big movie, and now he’s coming back to work around the backlash.
But it’s entirely possible that he really DID miss all the plot holes, is actually now contrite and does plan to read his scripts better. Either way, it’s a pretty entertaining picture that makes great news.

Ummm..what? The Marcus model didn’t exist before SkyNet.

And the Harvester wasn’t a plot hole. When it drops from the HK everyone looks around because they can hear the noise.

Steve–okay, fair point. More precisely I should have said “before SkyNet became self-aware”. I was thinking more in terms before the self-aware SkyNet existed, and that could be taken either way, because there was a SkyNet before it became self-aware.
But the Marcus model DID exist before SkyNet became self-aware–they killed Marcus when the world was still in one piece, and Cyberdyne got in to make him a full cyborg not long after his death. Why do you think that woman from Cyberdyne was there in the first place, to give him a fruit basket before he died?
But your second point, sorry man, that’s a hole. Unless of course you want to assert that a ten ton robot three times the size of a 7-11 dropped from a couple hundred feet by a hovering HK would make just enough noise to be heard only seconds before it opens a roof.
