While watching the spectacle that is James Cameron ’s Avatar , you may have found yourself with a unusual déjà vu feel . That ’s because Avatar is littered with Cameron source and influence , from Aliens to Terminator . We ’ve rounded them up for you .
Oh , and there are some spoilers for Avatar , as well as past Cameron pic , in here .
Wrong Side of The Tracks Love
She ’s an alien and he ’s a paralytic human . She ’s ten time his size , and he just wants to breach all the rule . It ’s the tried - and - true odd - couple pairing that James Cameron took to its stereotyped height in Titanic . It will never work out between these two and everyone is against them , but that ’s exactly while we ’ll settle for them . It ’s cheesy , but it do work . And it ’s all over Avatar .
Power Loader
The mecha big businessman suit sure looks familiar . Maybe that ’s because you project the first intimation of this thought in Cameron ’s mind during Aliens — sure , it ’s a much more strip - down edition , but if you look at the image above you may see subtle resemblances between the two . I ’d like to think that Cameron was clever enough to integrate the yellow and blackened hazard tape on both as a insidious wink to his past , but then again who recognise . Still in a film like this , there are very few things that sneak by Cameron unnoticed .
Breathing mask
For The Abyss , Cameron has these masks made specially , so the audience could see the reflection on the divers ’ face underwater . It would make signified that he would incorporate the same determination with the Pandora respiration masquerade . Even if human pelt could be exposed on Pandora , a one-half face mask would hinder just about all expressions . Plus , it ’s better than the Battlefield Earth olfactory organ plugs , that ’s for sure .
Save Her From Her Destiny
Boy does Cameron sleep together a fair sex with a planned - out spirit . Sarah Connor ’s destiny is all plan out , Rose is to be espouse for money , and likewise , Neytiri ’s lifetime plans are lay out in front of her . Why do Cameron ’s women always seem to have their life planned out for them , for best or tough ? Even Ripley — her destiny is incessantly entangled with that of the exotic specie , and by the meter they bring her back as a half - alien and half - human , she ’s strangely accepted this destiny .
The Samson Versus Hunter Killer
James Cameron did plan spaceship model in his past tense . But it ’s passably interesting to see how the Samson chopper in Avatar are basically an upgraded version of the Hunter Killer from Terminator .
Military BAD ! scientist Good !
If you ’re in the military machine and not a defected appendage with a new lease on liveliness , you are an evil killing political machine with no respectfulness for life , love , nature and peculiarly aliens . In fact , you HATE extraterrestrial being . KILL THEM ALL . If you are an unremarkable joe , driller or scientist who enthrall in wear down scrubby former clothes and band t - shirts , you are the hero of the story — congrats .
