Terminator: Dark Fate may have been released eights months ago, but there's a rather amusing detail in it that's seemingly only just been spotted.
As anyone's who's seen the film will know, Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 ends up adopting a human life as a curtain fitter named Carl. He has his own van and everything.
Well, ScreenCrush editor and columnist Matt Singer recently discovered that the phone number (888-512-1984) on the side of said van actually works. Better still, if you give it a call, you'll get an answer phone message from Arnie himself.
"Hi, this is Carl's Draperies," you'll hear him say. "We have the best drapes and curtains anywhere in Texas. I can guarantee you that. Sorry we're not here right now to answer your call, but we'll call you back. Until then, hasta la vista."

A lot phone numbers displayed on-screen in film and TV usually begin with 555, which isn't in general use anywhere. But clearly director Tim Miller (or whoever's responsible for putting that number on the side of Carl's van) saw the opportunity to have a bit of fun.
What to Read Next
The amusing storyline in the film is set in motion when Arnie's T-800 successfully kills a young John Connor, only to end up becoming aimless as Skynet had already been destroyed.
To wile away his years on Earth, the T-800 adopts the persona of Carl and even finds himself a family.
When he eventually teams up with Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, Mackenzie Davis's Grace and Natalia Reyes's Dani, Carl delivers the film's best moment as explains the importance of selecting the right curtains for a room.
Terminator: Dark Fate is available on Blu-ray and DVD now.
