Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobert Patrick undertook a rigorous running regime and practiced breathing only through his nose, in order to appear to be a cyborg that could run at high speeds without showing fatigue. He had trained so hard that he was able to catch up to Edward Furlong on his dirt bike with ease.
- GoofsIf the T-1000 can mimic any person or form it touches, there is no logical reason why it keeps reverting back into the form of Robert Patrick dressed as a cop once the Connors are aware of this guise. It could achieve its mission objective far easier if it used other forms to conceal its identity and then kill the Connors before they even realized. POSSIBLE EXPLANATION: It is probable that the T-1000 knew that a uniformed police officer would be the form of human most likely to be let alone and permitted to go anywhere he pleased without being questioned or otherwise hindered, especially at security checkpoints like the prison's gate and front desk. And indeed, he is always just waved on through or buzzed in without question at these spots.

- Alternate versionsOn the 'Ultimate Edition' DVD as well as the 'Skynet Edition' Blu-ray, there are three versions of the film, albeit only two at the menu, the Theatrical and Special Edition versions. However, highlighting the 'Special Edition' option and keying in '82997' (August 29, 1997), will open a Extended Special Edition Option, with the T-1000 searching John's room and an Alternate ending added on and replaced.

Featured review
Best action film ever!!!
This superb sequel surpasses the excellent original in every department and quite simply you won't see a better action film. Set 15 years after the original Arnie may return as the good Terminator trying to protect John Connor but he's a redundant piece of scrap metal compared to the T-1000.
The opening hour and the last half hour is absolutely breathtaking with action sequences that still remain unsurpassed. Their's also a wonderful piece of storytelling 3/4 of the way through where Dyson relises the terrifying consequences of the project he's neglecting his family for.
The performances are memorable particularly Linda Hamilton's Sara Connor and simply put, they'll never make a better action film.
