James Cameron removed a crucial scene from "The Terminator" after financiers forced him to use their friends as actors. The scene provided important context about how Cyberdyne Systems obtained the technological chip for Terminators. The financiers' friends were paid as actors, and the decision was likely driven by their desire for a return on investment. Cameron's commitment to quality led him to cut the scene, even though the financiers believed the film would not be successful.
