Hi, nice idea! As from Germany, seeing localized Versions dimish with upcoming of DVD and BD from the home cinema market, I really would love to see more movies with intact German localization.

I don't know, if terminator was localized in theatres, but the LD only has english opening credits.

Do you know what release date does the German LD have?

According to this website ( http://www.lddb.com/search.php?search=the+terminator&sort=title&format=ld ), there are two German versions: one has an unknown release date and another is from 1995 (possibly a later release).
France also has two releases, one from 1985 and another with unknown date.

Perhaps later releases from the 90s made use of the original US master while earlier ones came from the "regional" versions?

I have the 1995 release. Because the other release is a strong censored Version.

The Orion Logo on the Disc is, as with the first German DVD release, the localised one.

But as with the french Version the introduction text is voiced. Maybe it was such a B-Movie back then, that it never got a complete localisation.
