We’ll close this out on why the hell that club the shootout is happening in is called “Tech Noir.”

Simply put, it’s the genre Cameron considers the movie to take place in. The Terminator has the harsh grittiness of old school noir films (particularly the lighting), but mixed with science fiction. Now, the club was built for the movie, but was convincing enough that local club-goers had to be kept out of the set. Apparently, Tech Noir was cool enough in its day as a set that people really wanted to party there.
