His company provided extras for Quentin Tarantino's films Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, White Man's Burden and other noted films My Best Friend's Wedding, George Of The Jungle and The Net to name a few. Terry and his sister Tammy also appeared in their father's Cult I Spit On Your Grave from 1978 and as adults in the 2019 release of I Spit On Your Grave Deja Vu in which Terry produced, acted, wrote and edited from. Terry also produced and directed the documentary Growing Up With I Spit On Your Grave.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
