I just re-watched the first two films in the Terminator series. The T1000 (Robert Patrick) does a lot of running, and is quite fast.
I didn't see many scenes where the T800 (Arnie) ran. Is it because he's really heavy? Is he mainly designed as a heavy "stand your ground" machine?
The only scene I could see him running is in T2 in the mental hostpital where the T1000 morphs through the metal gate and his gun gets caught. Then the T800 does a little jog to get into the elevator following John and Sarah. (anybody know of any other running/jogging scenes?) (EDIT Arnie also breaks into a run while pursuing Reece and Sarah down the alley after the NOIR nightclub attack.)
If he can at least jog though, why wouldn't he do this throughout the entire film? You would think that from a "chance of survival" point of view, if he could get a John even the slightest bit faster then he'd do so.
Of course, maybe I am overthinking this... Arnie walking around slowly is a lot more badass than Arnie jogging around.
Edit: Just watched T3 again, the T800 also ran towards the end when the big hangar door was closing and he ran over to slow it down. Interested in other examples of the T800 running too.
