Terminator: Dark Fate is in theaters now.

Terminator: Dark Fate may ignore every movie in the series after the second one, but that still leaves it plenty of material for Easter eggs, references, and callbacks. Terminator and T2: Judgment Day are most fans' favorites anyway.

The new movie brings Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger together again for the first time since the 1991 classic, and watching them side by side again is a thrill. At the same time, Terminator creator James Cameron is back on the franchise as well, and the actors say it was great to have him back.

As a direct sequel to Terminator 2, Dark Fate has plenty of little nuggets for fans. Here are the ones we caught.

1. "Like a strobe light burning through my eyes"

Dark Fate opens with a direct callback to T2. The footage of Sarah Connor in the institution, as well as the voice lines here, are both from Judgment Day.

2. Classic Imagery

The movie's opening is filled with plenty of classic imagery from the Terminator franchise, from the human skulls in the dirt to the machines' flying ships from the future that no longer exists thanks to the events of T2.

3. Hablas Espanol?

During the early scene set on the beach, John Connor can be heard speaking Spanish. It was revealed in T2, during the scene in which they obtain supplies from Enrique, that John understands the language, at the very least.

4. Performance Capture

The beach cabana scene may seem like it's mostly CG, but director Tim Miller recently revealed to GameSpot that all three actors--including Ed Furlong, in addition to Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger--did performance capture.

5. Familiar Arrivals

Even in the new timeline, people who travel back in time arrive naked. Just like the T-800 before her, Grace acquires her clothes and ride from one of the first people she encounters in the past. And the Rev-9 arrives in the classic Terminator pose. Some things never change.

6. Machines Are Coming To Replace Us

In Mexico, machines are replacing workers in the auto factory in which Dani and her brother work. To be honest, this is a much more realistic take on how robots will eventually defeat us than Skynet.

7. Physical Contact

Grace tells Dani that Gabriel Luna's Rev-9 needs "physical contact" with someone to replicate them, which means Dani's father is likely already dead. If this was a requirement for the T-1000 in Terminator 2, it was never stated, so it may be a new limitation in Dark Fate's Legion timeline.

8. "Come With Me"

"Come with me or you're dead in the next 30 seconds" is the new "Come with me if you want to live," a classic and oft-repeated line.

9. "I'll be back."

Another dialogue reference is Sarah Connor's line in Dark Fate, "I'll be back," a reference to Arnold's similar line in T2. The big difference here, of course, is that Grace and Dani use the opportunity of her temporary absence to steal her truck.

10. Tentacle Terminators

The Terminators with tentacles glimpses in the future scenes are new to this movie, a product of the changed timeline in which Legion takes over instead of Skynet.

11. America's Most Wanted

Sarah Connor has been a fugitive for decades, ever since the events of T2. She even has her own episode of American's Most Wanted, a true crime show that aired regularly from 1988 to 2012.

12. A Bag of Chips

Carl may be skeptical, but apparently Sarah Connor's trick to block her phone's GPS signal by enclosing it in a bag of potato chips really works.

13. Wax On, Wax Off

Grace cutting a fly in half calls to mind the iconic scene from Karate Kid in which Mr. Miyagi plucks a fly out of the air with a pair of chopsticks.

14. Border Controversy

The scenes in which Dani, Sarah, and Grace attempt to illegally cross the border between Mexico and the US are charged with political commentary. In particular, the line insisting that the immigrants being held there are "detainees" and not "prisoners" seems like a pointed reference.

15. A Timeless Slogan

Carl's slogan for his drapery business is "We Never Leave You Hanging"--i.e. another way of saying "I'll be back."

16. "I Won't Be Back"

This, of course, is yet another reference to the famous line. They really packed 'em in, huh?

17. The Sunglasses

Before they head off, Carl reaches for the T-800's iconic sunglasses, but opts to leave his eyes exposed to UV light and other harmful forces. This symbolizes him leaving the past behind, or something.

18. "F*** Fate."

This is the newest iteration of the famous Terminator franchise line "There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." Like many things in this movie, it's been updated for 2019, now with 100% more swearing.

19. Ashes to Ashes

When Carl is burning toward the end of the movie, his transformation into ash looks a lot like the effect used in the flash-forward to Judgment Day from T2.
