* SexySilhouette: When Kyle and Sarah are undressing for time travel, Kyle gets to see Sarah's shadow showcasing her [[BoobsOfSteel "assets"]] which amusingly enough are much larger here and on the posters than the actress's actual size.

* LighterAndSofter: Despite the amount of violence remained more or less the same as its predecessors, and the more personal and arguably bigger stakes involved, ''Genisys'' is at the time of this writing, the Terminator film that brought the most levity to the franchise. The settings in the different timelines is less grim and bleak compared to what was shown of AfterTheEnd in ''Salvation'', and there are more instances of comic relief and playful banter between the characters - For instance, Pops is the most comical version of the T-800 character introduced so far. And given it had the same lower PG-13 rating of the predecessor (and, unlike said predecessor, which did have an R-rated director's cut, was never rated R), it also counts for reducing the nudity and blood from the first three movies.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The helicopter chase leading into the climax. It is obvious that most of the helicopter stunts were done via CGI. However, the stunts themselves are actually plausible. An experienced helicopter pilot can perform such moves in an urban environment that a jet fighter pilot could only dream of. Most combat helicopters can achieve horizontal speeds of several hundred kph with only brief acceleration and return to a hover just as quickly, rise at over 10 meters per second from a hover, perform dives and tight three point turns, and navigate tight urban airspace with ease.
