Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: As Sarah is talking into the tape recorder, the microphone is up to her mouth. As the boy takes her picture, the microphone is not visible in the photograph of her and her dog.
The laser aimed handgun was specially built by Laser Products Corporation (now Sure-Fire). This was in the early days of laser aimed weapons and the what was seen was actually not a complete assembly. Only the laser was mounted but the required battery pack was hidden from view. In those days the battery packs were very large, about the size of a TV remote control. A wire was hidden underneath his sleeve.
Movie Goof (continuity error): The bandage on Reese's right hand disappears when he and Sarah climb into the black pick-up truck. During the following chase, it is back on his hand.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: The message on Sarah's answering machine goes, "Hi there... Ha-ha, fooled ya. You're talking to a machine..." with a pause between "Hi there" and "Ha-ha". When the Terminator has shot Ginger, the answering machine starts and we hear the words immediately following each other. Also, when the police call Sarah's apartment, the message changes/speeds up; it is much quicker.
