After he finished making True Lies, Cameron called Kubrick, by then a recluse, and invited himself over. They spent a day, in the basement of Kubrick’s house in the English countryside, watching True Lies at Kubrick’s flatbed editing station. Cameron went over the shots … so that Kubrick could learn how the effects were done.
