military and the CIA for a “rescue mission” in the Republic of Val Verde.
In 1987, Dutch and his men were hired by the U.S. If you’re familiar with the 1987 science fiction classic “Predator”, you’ll remember that Major Alan “Dutch” Schaefer (played by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger) was a mercenary and the leader of a private military team. And it all revolves around what happened to Major “Dutch” Schaefer? It was cracked ironically by David Israel Nunez Alvear over at Cracked. The Terminator’s link to the “Predator” franchise is a new one however, and more founded on video game Easter eggs than older script drafts by the film’s original writers.
But yes, at its core, Bishop is from the same company as the T-800. There is a popular theory that the executives and financiers of Cyberdyne took the remnants of their company that was destroyed in the events “Terminator 2: Judgment Day 3D”, and reformed it into a new company called Hyperdyne. If you buy into the premise, how the evolution from Cyberdyne to Hyperdyne occurred is anyone’s guess. However, with many fans, it has been widely accepted that Cyberdyne Systems eventually evolves into Hyperdyne Systems inside the Cameron universe. In the final shooting script, Cyberdyne Systems was changed to Hyperdyne Systems to avoid copyright infringement. That’s right! When James Cameron first wrote the script for his film “Aliens”, his earlier draft mentioned Cyberdyne Systems by name. Many fans know that Bishop (and androids like him) were originally written as a product of Cyberdyne Systems.
The Alien link to Terminator of course is not a surprise to some. But did you know there are strong theories to suggest both Alien and Predator franchises also exists within the same Terminator universe? Explained in our Trivia Volume 8, every fan knows that the “The Terminator” and The Abyss films both exist in the same universe.
