6. Even Crappy Practical Effects are Still Complete Practical Effects
Just as with CGI in their early days, the first few attempts at in-depth practical effects were shaky. After a fierce battle in 1984’s The Terminator, the titular robot returns to his hideaway to fix himself up. There, viewers are treated to a variety of practical effects, including a moment when a very not-Arnold Schwarzenegger robot reveals his exposed eye socket in the mirror. Though it’s a very obvious effect, the impact isn’t lost. We’re looking at a very real robot, even if it’s not a very real Arnie.
