Terminator is one of Hollywood's more robust franchises, with two sequels thus far (a third, Terminator Salvation, is due out in 2009), plenty of merchandising and most recently Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the FOX prime-time series about to launch its second season. But such multi-media franchises come with their own baggage - an expectation of continuity that extends well beyond the silver screen. (LucasFilm has an entire department dedicated to continuity across all media for its über-franchise, Star Wars, making sure, for instance, that the color of Obi-Wan Kenobi's light-saber handle is the same in the cartoon, the lunchbox and the book as it was in The Empire Strikes Back.) Audio is a big part of that continuity, and The Terminator made a pretty memorable noise in the process of its signature morphing act.
