Me too. The idea of a weapon that could be controlled using the mind was really wicked. God, I love 80's Fantasy and Sci Fi, far more imagination than the overly CGI'd films we get now.
That is why, I think, so many people loved the LOTR films,because Peter Jackson used every single effects technique, from CGI, to puppets, to stop motion animation, to scale models. Hollywood did not learn from this, and now produces CGI packed rubbish.

I remember this scene from my preteen years. The way the soot crumbled away revealing this beautiful weapon...I was in awe. Swords have been way way over-used in fantasy films. The Glave was truly unique. I love it.

@123Tilted you mean the wingstick from rage looks like this. This movie predates rage by 2 decades kid.

The Glaive is the most badass weapon that I have ever seen (better than lightsaber imo). The only thing that I hate in this movie is the fact that the hero can't use the weapon whenever he wants...
I mean, wtf!!! If you have a super powerful, mind-controlled cool weapon then YOU FUCKING USE IT!

My Father Directed the film and I can say that the Glave is safely in the hall closet.

@DNchap1417 I was quite surprised that alot of the T-1000 effects in the movie were actually either Robert Patrick or a performer covered in a mettalic skinlike costume that was taken from a plaster mould of Robert Patrick, rather than a CGI creation. I understand why, as the technique was still new. A similar technique, I discovered, was also used for Colossus in X-men 3.

@yellowcougar18: And CGI ironically was coceived to make FX looks more realistic when in reality, it looks far more cartoonish. The only time I saw CGI creating realistic creatures or images was in Jurassic Park (The Abyss and T2 are pioneers, but they did used them to creat morphing effects rather than beings).

When you are the hero of a title and they demand of you think like sticking your hand into molten laval to recover a relic, Do you ever second guess yourself? Like i no what if im not the chosen one, this lava is gonna fucking hurt for no reason and that rock is gonna burn the shit out of my hand. How does a hero know for sure to trust crazy old men and their ramblings. lol
