The Terminator VHS 1985 - CGC Home Video 9.8 and Seal B+, Clamshell, RTB Seal, Thorn EMI Video. The Terminator, the 1984 science fiction thriller directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a relentless and iconic journey through a dystopian future that had a profound and enduring effect on fans. The film follows a cyborg assassin sent back in time to eliminate Sarah Connor, the mother of humanity's future savior. Its effect on fans was one of awe and fascination, as they were captivated by Schwarzenegger's menacing performance, the film's visionary special effects, and its exploration of technology's potential dangers. The Terminator remains a seminal classic, celebrated for its contribution to the sci-fi genre, its portrayal of a relentless killing machine, and its lasting impact on the world of futuristic cinema, ensuring its status as a beloved favorite among fans of science fiction.

This factory sealed VHS copy of The Terminator is a stunner! It comes in the first release Thorn EMI Video white clamshell and has a 1986 "Play For Keeps" manufacturer promotion sticker on the front. It has received a near perfect grade of 9.8 by CGC Home Video, with a Seal grade of B+ due to some small rips in the shrink wrap. But it presents beautifully regardless and would be an amazing centerpiece to any VHS collection.
