0.0 Introduction
================
This Frequently Asked Questions list is based largely on the T2 FAQ compiled
by Doug Fierro, last dated 11/10/91. (Doug's email address is dead--Doug, are
you out there?) That's why I numbered the initial release of this FAQ version
2.0. Due to constant demand for information on the Terminator films, the FAQ
has been resurrected. Contributions/discussion are welcome! The preferred
forum for discussion is news:rec.arts.sf.movies
In the section on time travel, there are probably no absolute right or wrong
answers--except as far as real-world physics can be applied to the virtual
world of the Terminator films. I'm *not* looking for alternate ideas about
time travel, thank you very much. I'm just trying to explain the logic
underlying what happens in the Terminator films. *Everyone* has an opinion
(read: theory) about time travel. Try reading news:alt.sci.time-travel and
you'll see...!
If you want to contribute something and start out by writing, "I know someone
who knows this guy who met JC's gardener once, and *she* says that JC says
that..." Well, I probably won't read much further than that. If you cite a
reference to info that you provide, your credibility will be that much
greater. (I'm not anally retentive. It's just that this is supposed to be an
information file, not a *mis*information file. ;-)
If you want to make sure I get your input, send me email:
&kloepel@shaw.ca&.
This FAQ has recently undergone a massive overhaul, for a number of reasons.
There is information on the new T1 and T2 DVDs, the new T3 and T4 films, and a
ton of stuff about the _T2: 3-D_ experience (yes, I've been there and yes,
it's a lot of fun!) at Universal Studios Orlando &www.usf.com&, Universal
Studios Hollywood &www.universalstudios.com/themeparks/html/hollywood/&, and
Universal Studios Japan &www.usj.co.jp&.

0.2 Questions that need answering
---------------------------------
** Does anyone have the novelization of _The Terminator_ for sale?
** Do you have any info on _T2 3-D: Battle Across Time?_ (I am especially
looking for pictures, sounds, and magazine articles that are not in the
references (section 10.1).)
** Does anyone have a complete list of all the Terminator action figures?
==========================================
1.0 What are the different movie versions?
==========================================
1.1 _The Terminator_
--------------------
Producer: Gale Anne Hurd
Cinematography: Adam Greenberg
Production design: James Cameron
Art director: George Costello
Editing: Mark Goldblatt
Written by: Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron
Director: James Cameron
Released in North America: 26 October, 1984.
For more information, see the Internet Movie Database at:
&http://us.imdb.com/M/title-exact?Terminator%2C+The+%&
There are two cuts of _The Terminator_. The first is the theatrical release,
in pan- and-scan and letterbox versions, on VHS videocassette, LD, and DVD
(running time is 108 minutes). The second is the T1SE (see section 1.1.1),
released on VHS videocassette and DVD.
1.1.1 What is the T1 Special Edition?
-------------------------------------
According to DVD Review &www.dvdreview.com&, a special edition DVD is on the
way, due for release on October 2, 2001:
Eagerly awaited, the Special Edition of James Cameron's original
Terminator has once again been delayed. The title was first planned for
release late this year and eventually moved to the first quarter of 2001
and has now been moved for release in the fourth quarter of next year.
The reason for this significant delay are of legal nature. MGM Home
Entertainment has acquired the rights to "Terminator" earlier this year
but there are still contracts in place from the original owners, which
give certain publishers a window to safely sell off existing product
and empty their stocks. MGM Home Entertainment has to honor these
contracts and has as a result delayed the release of the title to make
sure no conflicts with these contracts arise.
DVD Review also had the chance yesterday to take a first look at the
newly restored version of "Terminator" with the brand new 5.1 EX audio
track that will be part of the DVD release, and I can promise you that
you will be absolutely blown away by the richness of both, the image
and the sound!
The new region 1 DVD release has two altered scenes, at the request of
Lightstorm Entertainment, supposedly to fix continuity slips in the original
picture: a scene set in the future when a Terminator enters the rebel compound
has been flipped
the scene where the Terminator leaves
the motel in L.A. has been cropped/reframed so that his feet are no longer
visible (the original scene showed the Terminator wearing shoes instead of
boots as previously seen).
The region 2 (UK) DVD features the following deleted scenes:
- a brief alternate introduction to Sarah at work
- a longer version of the killing of the first Sarah Connor, showing the
T-800 walking away from the house, not reacting at all to the horrified
neighbours
- a bunch of brief scenes showing Vukovich and Traxler, amongst them the
scene with Reese getting the gun
- a long scene in which Sarah asks Reese if they can't attack the
Cyberdyne building and ensure that the possible future never occurs.
Reese declines, and Sarah reacts wildly.
- a post-coitus scene showing Sarah tickling Reese
- two removed scenes at the end, showing a technician finding a few parts
of the remains of the T-800, and a longer version of the scene in which
Sarah is placed in the ambulance, showing us that the factory is, in
fact, Cyberdyne.
For more information on the T1SE, see the interview with Van Ling at
&www.dvdfile.com/news/special_report/inside_the_disc/terminator/index.html&.
1.1.2 What are some other alternate versions?
---------------------------------------------
_The Terminator_ has been broadcast on TV in many countries. Often the film is
edited for length and content. Also, the T1 Special Edition DVD includes
several deleted scenes (see section 1.1.1). For more details on these
alternate versions, see &&.
1.2 _Terminator 2: Judgment Day_
--------------------------------
Producer: James Cameron
Cinematography: Adam Greenberg
Production design: Joseph Nemec III
Editing: Conrad Buff IV, Mark Goldblatt, and Richard A. Harris

There are three different cuts of T2:
- theatrical release (running time is 139 minutes)
- Special Edition (running time is 152 minutes)
- Ultimate Edition (running time is 156 minutes)
(For details on these latter two cuts, see sections 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.)
The movie has been released in a variety of media:

section 1.2.2).
2) The second cassette is the _Special Edition Supplement_. It contains a
discussion of the deleted scenes with all the actors and JC. Following
this 20-minute film are the omitted scenes (the alternate ending and the
T-1000 searching young John Connor's bedroom), three trailers from the
movie, and the trailer for the release of the special edition of the LD.
Running time is approximately 40 minutes.

containing:
1) _The Terminator_: theatrical release.

Running time is about 152 minutes (box incorrectly lists a running time
of 139 minutes).
- Lastly, Artisan Entertainment &www.artisanentertainment.com& has produced
the "Ultimate Edition" DVD, released August 29, 2000. This release contains
all three cuts of T2, plus many extra features. See sections 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.
Also, see the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD website: &www.ultimatet2dvd.com&.
1.2.1 Why were scenes cut out of T2?
------------------------------------
Certain scenes were edited out of the theatrical release of T2. According to
the _Annotated Screenplay_, some scenes slowed
repeated previous others were changed for dramatic
effect. These scenes include Sarah opening up the Terminator's head and
adjusting the CPU, Sarah's dream sequence with Kyle Reese, and the legendary
alternate ending (see sections 1.2.2, 1.2.2.1, and 1.2.5 for more).
In the video accompanying the T2SE, James Cameron explains that the scene with
the T-1000 searching the room was a "classic example of underestimating the
audience." He thought it wasn't necessary to have yet *another* scene
explaining that the T-1000 "molecularly samples" everything it touches.
An interview with JC was shown on the TV special _Secrets Revealed_ (hosted by
William Devane!):
"Well, 'final cut' really doesn't change anything. You still have to do
what's best for the film--and a lot of people have opinions about what's
best for the film. And, as a responsible filmmaker, you have to listen to
"In the opening of the film, we see a playground after a nuclear war, where
all the playground equipment has been burned and blackened. And then the
ending was to show the 'alternate future' that came about as a result of
the efforts of Sarah and John. And then when we put the movie together,
and sat and watched it, it just felt a little too...'sweet.' It's
essentially the movie of the script. But no movie is ever the movie of the
script--the script is what you start with when you start the voyage, and
when you end the voyage, you may be somewhere else.
"So we took the ending off and we went to the dark road, kind of going into
darkness--the uncertain future...and that seemed to work better.
"We did screen it once, with the happier ending--because we had already
raised the question to ourselves: 'Is this *really* the right thing?' And
the audience seemed to concur. So we all looked at each other and went,
'Aha! See? Eh?' So we very quickly whipped together the alternate, which
I'd already had in mind.
"Sometimes, in that pressure-cooker of finishing the picture, the most
instinctive responses are the best. And that's really
it was just instinct."
1.2.2 What scenes were cut from the T2 theatrical release?
----------------------------------------------------------
The following are scenes that were cut from the theatrical release of T2. For
scene numbers, I've followed the convention in the Annotated Screenplay.
(I've reduced this section from full-blown script to mere descriptions for a
few reasons: it the SE and the
_Annotated Screenplay_ contains full scripts.)

when it grabs a black and yellow striped railing, and its feet squish and
morph into the steel floor pattern on each step.
When it morphs into Sarah Connor, John looks down and sees that the
T-1000/Connor's feet have melded into the steel floor right before the real
Connor begins blasting away at it.
1.2.2.1 What is the alternate ending?
-------------------------------------
The alternate ending (known as the "Future Coda") was cut from the theatrical
it was released with the T2SE and T2UE cuts of T2. It is
*not* edited into the T2SE cut, but is shown in a separate segment. The Future
Coda *is* edited into the Ultimate Edition of the film.
JC explains why the Future Coda never made it into the theatrical release:
"But there was a sense that, why tie it up with a bow? If the future
*is* changeable, then the battle is something that has to be fought
continuously. And you can't do it with a single stroke. That it's the
dualism, the dynamic between good and evil that's eternal."
Here is my transcript of the alternate ending, scene 215:
[After the Terminator sinks into the molten steel, Sarah holds John and looks
into the camera.]
Fade to shot of the sun. Begin voiceover as the camera pans down. It
is Washington, DC; the capitol is in the background, as are several
futuristic buildings. Pan down to long shot of a park with a fountain
and a playground.
SARAH (V.O.)
August 29th, 1997 came and went. Nothing
much happened. Michael Jackson turned
*forty*. There was *no* "judgment day."
Cut to medium shot of a recreational area around the fountain. Pan
down and across children in the playground to a well-dressed older
woman speaking the narration into a small recording device.
People went to work as they always do.
Laughed. Complained. Watched TV. Made
love. I wanted to run through the
street yelling, to grab them all and say,
"Every day from this day on is a *gift*.
Use it well." Instead, I got drunk.
That was thirty years ago. But the dark
future which never came still exists for
me. And it always will--like the traces
of a dream.
Cut to a shot of an adult John Connor, pushing a little girl on a
swing in the playground.
SARAH (V.O.)
John fights the war differently than it was
foretold. Here, on the battlefield of the
Senate, his weapons are common sense--
Cut to a closeup of Sarah, watching John and the little girl.
--and hope.
Cut to a shot of the little girl running.
Tie me, gramma! Tie me!
Cut to a medium shot of the girl climbing up onto the bench beside
Sarah, who ties her granddaughters' shoe. Cut to a closeup of the
little girl as she looks up at Sarah and giggles. Cut to a medium
shot of the two.
How's that?
Cut to a shot of the girl.
Thank you, gramma.
Sarah leans down and gives the girl a kiss.
The girl runs back to the playground. Cut to a shot of the girl
running into John's arms. The two embrace, then John helps her onto a
SARAH (V.O.)
The luxury of hope was given to me by the
Terminator. Because if a machine can learn
the value of human life--
Cut to a shot of Sarah, smiling, watching the children.
SARAH (V.O.)
--maybe we can, too.
Fade to black.
1.2.3 What is the T2 Special Edition?
-------------------------------------
Although some scenes were cut from the theatrical release of T2, many were
restored in the Special Edition ("T2SE"). These scenes are described in
section 1.2.2. Two long scenes were not included in the T2SE, but were
appended to a supplemental tape: One is the alternate ending "Future Coda"
(scene 215; see section 1.2.2.1), the other is scenes 56/56A. Note that the
placement of added scenes may not necessarily match that of the T2SE. The
running time of the T2SE is 152 minutes.
1.2.4 What is the T2 Ultimate Edition?
--------------------------------------
The Ultimate Edition ("T2UE") refers to a couple of things. It refers to a cut
of the film that includes the alternate ending "Future Coda" and scenes
T2UE also refers to the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD, which contains the T2UE cut
of the film, as well as the theatrical release and SE cuts. This DVD was
produced by Artisan Entertainment &www.artisanentertainment.com&, and was
released August 29, 2000. This disc contains all three cuts of the film, but
the T2UE cut is hidden (a so-called "Easter egg").
There are a couple ways of accessing the T2UE:
1. If you can, select "Title 3" with your DVD player. (Scenes 56/56A are
title 3, chapter 24; the Future Coda is title 3, chapter 78.)
2. Or Select "Special Edition" from the main menu. Highlight "Play
Special Edition" and press 82997 on your remote. (You may have to
press [enter] after pressing each number. You'll notice, of course,
that this special code is also the date of Judgment Day!) The words
"The Future Is Not Set" will appear in the right hand portion of the
setup screen and the left eye of the Terminator will light up. Now
you can select "Play Extended Special Edition".
There is a second Easter egg. Insert side B (or disk 2). There are a few
buttons hidden in the main menu. When you first start the DVD, it goes to a
menu which displays the information programs, visual campaigns, and data hub.
If you wait 30 seconds, things may happen randomly on the menu. A button may
appear on the bottom left side of the menu that says Join the R this
takes you to the same message on the CD-ROM button on side A (or disk 1). The
other thing that may happen is that the same button appears, but with a sound
this takes you to a Swelltone trailer. The other thing that may happen
is the T-1000's head appears in the middle of the screen and says "Get out",
and blends back in with the menu.
The T2UE DVD may come on one (double-sided) DVD-18 (contains 18 Gb), or two
(single-sided) DVD-9s (each contains 9 Gb); there is no difference in content
between the two. The T2UE DVD comes in a brushed metal case. The T2UE DVD
contains all three cuts of T2 in 16:9 widescreen. It is THX certified, with
Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX, and DTS 5.1 ES sound formats.
Aside from the three cuts of T2, the T2UE DVD also includes:
- commentary by cast and crew
- "The Making of T2," "T2: More Than Meets the Eye," and "The Making of
T2: 3-D: Breaking the Screen Barrier" documentaries
- supplmental materials which cover all aspects of production, including
make-up, visual effects, marketing, etc.
- teasers, trailers, screenplay, 700+ storyboards
- DVD-ROM feature allow you to watch the movie and simultaneously view
storyboards
A website has been set up for the T2UE DVD at &www.ultimatet2dvd.com&. This
website includes trailers, information on the T2UE DVD, as well as a
Macromedia Shockwave-based Terminator game.
1.2.5 Other cut scenes
----------------------
The _Annotated Screenplay_ also contains six omitted sequences that were not
filmed, for various reasons noted below:
Extended Future War Sequence
----------------------------
These scenes show more of the fight against Skynet in the future. This
sequence was deleted due to its prohibitive cost, and because it was deemed
tangential to the story. Most significant are the scenes showing an adult John
Connor sending Kyle Reese to the past.
Sarah's E.C.T. Sequence
-----------------------
This sequence was intended to illustrate the direness of Sarah's situation,
which was adequately established with other scenes. I'm glad these scenes were
cut: electroconvulsive shock therapy is only used as a treatment in *extreme*
cases of depression--which Sarah clearly did not exhibit.
Missile Dream Sequence
----------------------
In an early draft, Sarah experiences tw this is the
second. After falling asleep at Salceda's ranch, Sarah's dream of children
playing in a park turns into a nightmare as underground silos open, and the
missiles inside are launched. These scenes were cut because JC thought that a
single nuclear nightmare was more powerful than two.
Salceda's Death Sequence
------------------------
Although the scenes in which the T-1000 goes to Salceda's ranch looking for
John were scheduled for the first week of principal photography, they were not
filmed because they were deemed redundant and costly. This sequence is notable
for the scene in which the T-1000's head is blown off, the mouth gulps "like a
gaffed fish," and the head is reabsorbed into the T-1000's body.
Gant Ranch Sequence
-------------------
Travis Gant is the "crazy ex-Green Beret" John refers to in the film. This
sequence was rewritten and later comprised the Salceda ranch sequences.
(Salceda's first incarnation was as one of Gant's men. The kewlest scene has
Sarah proving to Gant that Terminator really exist, by taking a .45 automatic
and shooting the Terminator in the head--twice! Terminator, unperturbed,
responds to this rather rude treatment by saying, "No problemo."
Dyson's Vision Sequence
-----------------------
Miles Dyson's death was initially intended to be a bit more poetic. He has a
vision of his family and knows that for them to have a chance at survival, he
must destroy his life's work--and himself.
1.2.6 What are some other alternate versions?
---------------------------------------------
_T2_ has been broadcast on TV in many countries. Often the film is edited for
length and content. Also, the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition cuts
include several deleted scenes (see sections 1.2.3 and 1.2.5). For more
details on some of these alternate versions, see

From _Gamefan_ magazine:
THE ATTRACTION
* The 3-D film utilized in the attraction is approximately 10 minutes long
and was directed by _Terminator_ creator and director James Cameron.
* The 10-minute film features all-new footage shot exclusively for the
_Terminator 2 - 3-D_ attraction. Production took place in a deserted
steel mill in Fontana, California, taking over two weeks of all-night
* Computer graphics house Digital Domain, whose special effects work can be
seen in _Jurassic Park_ and _Apollo 13_, created all of the digital
composite imagery in the film.
THE FILM PROJECTION SYSTEM
* Three-dimensional images are projected on three separate screens, in a way
never seen before, surrounding guests with 180 degrees of in-your-face
excitement.
* Each of the three projection screens located within the attraction
measure 23 feet high by 50 feet long.
* Six fully automated 70mm film projectors are required to create the 3-D
images that will reach off the screen and into the audience.
THE AUDIO SYSTEM
* The _Terminator 2 - 3-D_ attraction features a state-of-the-art sound
system created by Soundelux that pumps a total of 45,620 Watts through 141
speakers. it is the most technically advanced system in the world and
serves as a showplace for audiophiles across the globe.
* All processing gear for the attraction's audio system are found within one
master computer system. All connections and configurations are made
on-screen utilizing computer software that has never been seen before.
* The audio computer system allows audio engineers to modify and construct
new audio configurations simply by drawing them on a computer screen
instead of the time-consuming re-wiring required by a conventional system.
THE T2 3-D CINEBOTIC FIGURES
* Originally, Universal Studios planned to feature in the attraction the
T-800 chrome endoskeletons seen in the _Terminator 2_ motion picture.
However, after consulting with director James Cameron, they discovered that
the T-800s come from the future (around 2029) and therefore could not exist
in the attraction in the present day. As a result, Cameron designed,
exclusively for this attraction, the T-70 robot, a totally new, more
primitive series of the mechanical soldier.

The following is a spoiler for T2: 3-D. *DON'T* read it if you don't want to
know what happens!
*** SPOILER WARNING ***
Summary written by Dave Harling &&:
The audience [is invited] to a presentation of future technology by the
Cyberdyne C creators of the present T-70s and future creator of
Skynet. Unfortunately, half-way through the presentation, they are
sabotaged (live) by Sarah and John Connor, who inform us of the future
doom Cyberdyne will unknowingly bring to the world. The audience is soon
joined by the T-1000 as well as Arnold's T-800 on stage via motorcycle.
The T-800 grabs John and exits the stage via a 3-D time portal, quickly
pursued by the T-1000. From there it is all 3-D movie magic in which the
T-800 and John Connor must defeat Skynet, which is guarded by the powerful
T-1,000,000.

1.3.1 How is the Hollywood version of T2: 3-D different from the Florida
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story and script are virtually identical. The 3-D film itself is exactly
The biggest changes are in the building that houses the attraction. While the
USF show building was hidden behind an existing "Hollywood" facade (which
received a minor upgrade for the attraction), the situation at USH was
different. The Hollywood show is built atop a seven-story parking structure,
in an expansion area that once held "Fievel's Playland." An entire new
structure was designed and built from scratch to house the queue, pre-show,
main show, retail and a new restaurant. It's an avant-garde modern design that
represents both the colors and forms of the Terminator movies. The paint
scheme resembles a pixell the pattern was actually
derived from a still frame from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Curving silver
walls rise above the main building, suggesting "morphing" mimetic pollyalloys.
A front wall suggests the original Cyberdyne headquarters, and a big "T2/3D"
logo that juts out of the facade at an angle recalls the T-1000's motorcycle
exploding from the Cyberdyne window.
Interesting structural note: The attraction features a number of elements that
require a "basement" (for lifts, trap doors, robot pits, etc.) In Florida,
this was accomplished by simply digging a little. At USH, however, it's on top
of a parking lot -- so if they dig, they'll hit somebody's Taurus! Instead,
the entire theater is elevated about one-half story above the deck. The
audience walks up a long ramp as they approach the pre-show, until they're six
or seven feet above grade. They ramp down again as they exit the theater.
Now to the attraction itself...
The queue is perhaps the most different: it's housed in a sheltered outdoor
area (as opposed to USF's air-conditioned indoor queue, necessary due to
Florida's heat). Guests can watch the same introductory C they
re-shot the elements that simulate guests standing in line. There are also
eight new satirical Cyberdyne "product" posters, featuring Cyberdyne's
horrific new technologies for home, business and military applications. These
include "Cyberdyne DraftBoy," a system for identifying great video game
players during childhood and passing their personal information on to the
Department of Defense fo and "Cyberdyne KidCollar," a
voltage child restraint system for the home...
The pre-show is
the audience meets Kimberley Duncan,
who' and she shows the same corporate video. One scene
featuring former Orlando Magic player, now L.A. Laker star, Shaquille O'Neal,
was re- shot. He's ditched the Orlando blue-and-white uniform, and now sports
Laker gold-and-blue.
The main theater itself is improved in subtle ways. The colors and finishes
are all more refined, a "portland cement" finish on the walls
lends lends the room a cold, imposing feel. The lighting has also been
tweaked, with new colors and looks, including a neat "blood-red" look behind
the T-70 robots as they perform their target demonstration. Best of all, the
soundtrack has been completely re-mixed by the amazing folks at Soundelux,
resulting in crisper effects, better dialog legibility, and a much more
exciting dynamic range.
There are other minor changes, but they're mostly behind the scenes. The
projection and effects systems have all been bumped up a generation for better
reliability. Also, the USH show features four T-70 robots instead of USF's
Exiting the theater, there's a much bigger, more "Terminator-like" retail
area. There are two full-sized endoskeletons on display, plus some flying
hunters (from the 3-D movie).
The "CyberGrill" restaurant is a deco/chrome treat. There is some fun video
footage of "antique" robotic and computer systems, set to big band swing
tunes. (No Terminator clips, though.)
Finally, there's AquaZone, an outdoor plaza at the attraction's exit where
kids can play in some wacky futuristic fountains while mom and dad have a
drink and enjoy the view. The music here is a cosmopolitan mix of "watery"
jazz, lounge music and movie soundtracks. (And if you listen carefully, you'll
catch tracks from "Titanic" and "The Abyss"... Cameron's *"water-themed"*
movies....)

4.0 Plot questions
==================
For an *excellent* explanation of many subtle plot points in T2 (including
numerous omitted scenes), I *highly* recommend the following book for anyone
who is a true T2 fan:
_Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The Book of the Film: An Illustrated Screenplay_
(1991). By James Cameron and William Wisher, annotations by Van Ling.
Applause Theater Book Pub. ISBN: .
4.1 What year does T2 take place?
---------------------------------
Some dates are made explicit:
- The Future War sequence takes place in 2029.
- Skynet becomes self-aware at 2:14am EDT August 29, 1997 (this is a Friday).
- John Connor's DOB is February 28, 1985, and he is 10 years old in the movie
(these facts are stated in the T2 script).
- According to _The Terminator_ script, Sarah was 19. Sarah is 29 in T2.
Therefore, most of T2 must take place in the summer of 1995. There are some
problems with this conclusion, however.
The Terminator says, "In three years Cyberdyne will become the largest
supplier of military computer systems." Thus we conclude that in *three*
years, Skynet starts the war. But if T2 takes place in
+ 3 = 1998,
not 1997. One explanation is that mid-1995 to August, 1997 is more than two
years, so the Terminator might have just rounded it to three years.
The Terminator also says, "Thirty years from now you reprogrammed me to be
your protector here, in this time." 2029 - 30 = 1999. T2 takes place before
1997, so the Terminator may just be doing more rounding. Jordan Chavez
&& suggests:
It may be that 1997 + 30 = 2027 is the year in which Conner starts
re-programming the terminator, and that it may have taken him two years
to finish it before he was able to send it back through time.
On the way to Dyson's house, John muses to the Terminator that he will send
Kyle into the past "35 years from now." 2029 - 35 = 1994, which is plausible.
There are further errors with dates:
From Paul Duncanson &&:
In T1 Reese accosts a police officer and demands to know the date.
"Twelve. May. Thursday." Wrong! It is established three times that T1
happens in 1984 (title after credits in T1; Sarah's timecard in T1 read
"Pay period ending 5/19/84"; and John's date of birth (2/28/1985) confirm
he was conceived around May 1984). Problem is that May 12, 1984 was a
Saturday. The problem probably occurred because the screenplay was written
in 1983 when May 12 did fall on a Thursday.
If the events depicted in T1 had indeed transpired in 1983, John would have
been born in 1984, he would have been 10 in 1994, it would be 35 years until
2029, and it clearly would be three years until 1997--the dates would work out
perfectly. The basic problem was in establishing that T1 took place in 1984
instead of 1983. That is, T2 is merely being consistent with T1, which
unfortunately causes further mathematical errors.
Last (but not least!), in alternate ending (see section 1.2.3), Sarah refers
to the events of Judgment Day (August 29, 1997). In particular, she says that
Michael Jackson turned forty. However, Michael Jackson turns forty on August
29, 1998. This is either another error, or perhaps a suggestion that Sarah is
in a parallel universe (see section 6.0).
4.2 Why does it take the T-1000 so long to show up at John's house in Reseda?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T-1000 was transported to the Sixth Street Bridge in downtown LA at night
and had access to a police vehicle and John Connor's address. Yet he only
arrived at John's house in Reseda *after* the Terminator did! It seems like at
least 4-6 hours between the T-1000 arriving and then getting to John's house.
The greater LA area is big, but not that big.
The most likely explanation is that the T-1000 does not know its way around
very well. In the annotated screenplay, it is revealed that the T-1000 has to
ask the little girls the location of the Galleria!
While talking to Dr. Silberman, Reese explains that most records were lost in
the Skynet War (thus the T-800 had to kill every Sarah Connor listed). If city
maps were also lost, the T-1000 would not have an accurate map of LA. The
T-1000 would therefore not know the location of John's house even after
finding it from the police computer.
4.3 Why doesn't the security guard at Pescadero State Hospital notice the
T-1000 on the floor?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible that the T-1000 made itself thin enough to avoid being noticed.
The T-1000 doesn't necessarily need to keep a consistent thickness while it is
on the floor (i.e., it's not a "slab").
4.4 Does the T-1000 have to touch the object it takes the form of?
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Terminator told John that the T-1000 could replicate "anything it samples
by physical contact." It appears that the T-1000 can use a medium to do this
without actually touching the victim's skin. In scene where the T-1000
mimicked the guard at the Pescadero State Hospital, the only contact was when
the guard walked on the floor, where the medium was the soles of the shoes the
guard was wearing.
JC, in the T2SE supplements, explains that the T-1000 has the ability to
sample things that it touches at a "fantastic level." In a scene cut from the
theatrical release, the T-1000, after killing John's foster parents, searches
for clues to John's whereabouts. It touches the walls, and immediately
determines that there is a cache (of tapes and letters from Sarah, as it turns
out) behind a poster in John's room (see section 1.2.2).
4.5 Why does the T-1000 change back to the policeman at Pescadero State
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It may be that it requires more energy to mimic an object than to just keep
the default form. When the T-1000 was transported to 1995, it had a default
humanoid form, and that is the one it kept throughout the movie. It did *not*
copy the form the unfortunate officer Austin who discovered it--it only copied
the uniform, apparently.
The T2 Annotated Screenplay (see section 7.1) notes that being a policeman
gives the T-1000 a large degree of leeway, also,
maintaining the same form allows the audience to recognize the character.
4.6 Why does the orderly in Pescadero State Hospital lick Sarah's face?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
According to JC, this situation was presented to "dig a deeper hole that Sarah
had to climb out of." A cut scene (see section 1.2.2) showed Dougie (the
licker) and another orderly hitting Sarah before giving her drugs. Thus, Sarah
is justified in beating Dougie later on. Any sexual abuse is only weakly
4.7 If dogs are used to identify Terminators, why doesn't the dog at the
desert hideout bark at the Terminator?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several possibilities have been discussed:
1) Dogs may have to be "trained" to sniff out Terminators. This implies that
John's dog Max was just barking for the hell of it when the T-1000 kills
John's foster parents. Not very likely.
2) Not all dogs bark at Terminators. Unlikely.
3) The dog at the desert hideout also did not bark at Sarah or J maybe the
dog didn't bark at "Uncle Bob" because it knew Sarah and John.
Again, unlikely.
4) JC intentionally neglected to have the dog bark, to show that the
Terminator was becoming more human. Quite possible.
5) It's a continuity glitch. L-)
6) Lastly, the unfilmed Gant Ranch Sequence in the Annotated Screenplay notes:
The dogs do not dig Terminator at all. They are barking and whining,
slinking around, keeping their distance.
Thus, the reaction of dogs to the Terminator was not forgotten. It is
likely that showing the dogs becoming alarmed with the "kinder, gentler"
Terminator would have confused the audience ("Is he a *good* guy or a *bad*
guy?"). Some people are slow.
4.8 Why does Sarah carve the words "NO FATE"?
---------------------------------------------
Sarah realizes that the future
she can *change* the
future. (Remember Reese's words to her: "The future is not set. There is no
fate but what we make for ourselves.") The words show Sarah's rejection of
the future is not "carved in stone." The fact that the *words*
are carved is ironic.
4.9 Why doesn't Sarah kill Dyson?
---------------------------------
When faced with killing someone, Sarah cannot do it. This scene is meant to
show that she is *not* like the Terminators. She has something they don't
have: feelings. (She also sees Dyson with his *family*--something machines
don't have.) These feelings will not let her kill even one person. Note that
it is not necessary that Dyson dies--there are other ways to alter the future.
4.10 What parts of the police officer does the T-1000 duplicate?
----------------------------------------------------------------
It is clear that the T-1000 duplicates the officer's uniform, as evidenced
after it walks out of the flaming wreckage of the semi.
When the T-1000 goes to Dyson's home, it is listening to reports on a police
radio. Comments during this scene on the extended LD indicate that whereas the
T-1000 "became" the uniform of the policeman, it took the radio so it could
monitor police activity. The T-1000 is *not* listening to the radio on the
motorcycle.
The point is made very clear that the T-1000 is also carrying a "real" gun at
Pescadero, when the gun is the only item that gets caught in the bars of the
door. However, when the T-1000 "pours" itself into the helicopter,
*everything* morphs--including its helmet and the accessories on its belt.
Obviously, these items were all replicated by the T-1000 as part of itself.
4.11 Why doesn't the T-1000 try to imitate Dyson and develop Skynet itself?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T-1000 has one objective: to kill John Connor, not to preserve its own
4.12 Does the T-1000 have a third arm when it is flying the helicopter?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, if you look carefully when it is reloading after it flies beneath the
overpass. Although the T-1000 is supposed to "mimic" shapes it comes in
contact with, this seems to be an acceptable modification of its shape. Note
that in the fight scene at the end of T2, the T-1000 is clearly capable of
modifying its humanoid appearance--not to mention the many other myriad
(partial) transformations, like "knives and stabbing weapons."
4.13 What is that "ripple" that goes through the T-1000?
--------------------------------------------------------
The "ripple" was a consequence of the liquid nitrogen experience--it damaged
the T-1000 (see the August, 1991 issue of _Cinefex_).
4.14 Why does the T-1000 take the shape of Sarah instead of the Terminator?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T-1000 could hav since the T-1000 took the shape of
the guard at Pescadero, it would seem that the T-1000 could have taken the
Terminator's shape as well, or at least come close to resembling him. It may
have thought it would have had a better chance of getting close to John if it
took the shape of his mother. Don't forget that the T-1000 had no information
on how John's relationship was progressing with the Terminator, so it would
assume that Sarah would have been a better choice.
The Special Edition indicates that this behaviour resulted from the damage
experienced by the T-1000 after being frozen and shattered.
4.15 Why does the T-1000 try to get Sarah to call to John?
----------------------------------------------------------
Again, discussion has centred on several possible explanations. In order of
plausibility:
1) The theory from the novelization is that the li}
