We must be having an Arnie (swaziburger) fest on the box at the
moment. Question, the terminator 2 is showing and the terminator
tracks the boy down to a mall showing him ID a Honda XR80 in the car
park. But the noise it made with a WOT in the open drains they were
riding in sounded like a 2 stroke and during the chase more like a RGV
or something. Any thoughts ???

Ya, it's Hollywood, and they know more than the audience (about
everything!).
I had just clicked on the 7-Ups with Roy Schider (sp? you know, Chief
Brody from Jaws?). The great car chase where he ends up under a semi
trailer was just coming on and I noticed something. I think they took the
sound track right from Bullett with Steve McQueen and just dubbed it onto
that chase. In fact, the bad guy driving the big getaway car looked like
the same driver of the Charger from Bullett! Something about "artistic
license" I guess, regardless of how hokey it looks (or sounds) to those
that really know.

Yeah..... it's obviously a 2 stroke sound coming from the bike. You would
wonder why they didn't just use the natural sound from the XR. Actually, I
beleive it's a late 1980's XR100. If you have the T-2 movie on VHS or DVD,
Slow the part of the chase down & pause it where you can get a good side view
of the bike & you'll notice what appears to be an XR100.

I saw a TV show that showed a guy on a Ducati 900SS and it sounded like a
4cyl Japanese bike!

Ah, the T2 conundrum has arisen again....

identifying the XR is the easy part, who the heck can nail the 2-stroke
soundtrack used? mid 80's RM125?

and if the XR was fake, who's to say the harley soundtrack was genuine? sure
it sounds like a harley, but was it the one Arnie was actually riding?

then again who cares really, it was a great movie anyway....

Better check with some '00/'01 guys about that one Vaughn!

My theory is they used a 2-stroke sound to leave the audience in no doubt
that he was riding a 'dirtbike'.

i.e. Harley - big 4-stroke sound, XR80 - dirtbike 2-stroke sound, just to
make it more accessible to the lowest common denominator (the audience!)

Hey Bob, do you get to watch the Greatest TV Show ever made (OK, not the
greatest, but right up there with Petticoat Junction and Green Acres)
the "Dukes of Hazard" in Australia? It just blows my mine when the the
Duke Boys are being chased by that pure evil Boss Hog
(Some say, Okie and his DRN Bot Moderators taken together, not as individuals
per say, but as a group, resemble Boss Hog and his evil nephews and cousins
that make special one show appearances and then end up in the Pokie, at he end
of the
episode) and they play the tyre burning
asphalt (tarmac) rubber laying sound track when the cars are on dirt roads.
Did you ever notice, that they hit the gas when the General Lee flies or
jumps?.
What's that a panic rev????

Have you seen the movie "Superstar" with Mary Katherine Gallagher from Sat.
Night Live?
How many green VW Bugs did you count in the movie?
I lost count there where so many.
Some movies are funny like that.

Was there any real stunts on the xr? I thought the killer bike stunt was
arnie doing a 20' dropoff onto concrete on the harley.

Damn straight we had the Dukes on the box in Aus. I even had a special

set .....

And that was done by trials champion and ISDE rider Lane Leavitt, who also rode
the cop-bike up the stairwell in T-2.

Nice try - that was done by lowering the bike with a crane. The crane was
digitally removed after in post-production.

They used a cable suspension to move the bike through the air until
about 4 ft remained, then dropped it. (Saw it on a "behind the
scenes" show sometime back.) It still looked painful.

My bad, Lane doubled for the T-1000 actor - but he *did* ride up the
stairwell, or was that a crane stunt also? :-)
