Now her son, John, the future leader of the resistance, is the target for a newer, more deadly terminator. Once again, the resistance has managed to send a protector back to attempt to save John and his mother Sarah. Summary by: Colin Tinto Summary: Sequel to Terminator. Skynet, the 21st century computer waging a losing war on humans sends a second terminator back in time to destroy the leader of the human resistance while he is still a boy. His mother is the only one who knows of the existence of the Terminators, human-like robots that exist only to kill and are nearly indestructible, and Sarah, the boy's mother is currently in a state mental hospital because of her 'delusions'. A second protector is sent back to the past by the Human resistance to protect John Connor, their future leader, at all costs.

This features many scenes deleted from the theatrical version before release. - After the pre-med students peer into Sarah's room, doctor Silberman reminds the orderlies to make sure she gets her medication. They come in to give her the pills, smack her in the gut with their sticks and force the pills down her throat, then kick her while she's on the floor doubled over in pain. - Sarah Connor has a dream where Reese (Michael Biehn) appears and warns her that THEIR son is in danger and she has to save him. They kiss and then leaves her cell. She follows him and suddenly arrives at a playground full of children and watches as they're blown away by a nuclear explosion. She wakes up. - After the T-1000 kills John's foster parents, he ventures outside to get the dog to shut-up. He reaches down and snatches the collar off the dog, thus killing the dog. On the collar is stamped the dog's name ``Max''. The T-1000 realizes he has been duped by John (actually the T-800 imitating John's voice) by calling the dog ``Wolfie''. - After killing the dog, the T-1000 goes to John's room to try to any clues as to where John might be. He stalks around the room waving his arms and ``feeling'' things on the shelves, on the walls, etc. He eventually stops in front of a poster, and without feeling it, realizes there is something behind it. He rips it down and finds a box of mementos (pictures, and the like). This scene does not appear in the film but is added to the supplemental section "The making of T2" included in the laserdisc and video box set. - At the abandoned gas station, Sarah and John talk with the T-800 about learning. He tells them that his CPU was switched to read-only before being sent out. Cyberdyne doesn't want them to learn too much while on the own. John asks can it be switched and he says yes. You then see the T-800's face in a ``mirror'' talking Sarah through the procedure. After the CPU is removed, the T-800 shuts-down and Sarah places it on a table. She picks up a hammer and tries to smash it to render him inoperative. John stops her and says they need him. He starts to show authority for the first time and says to Sarah, ``How am I supposed to be a world leader if my own mother won't listen to me?'' - While refueling at the gas station, John attempts to teach the T-800 to smile. He tells him that he looks like a dork because he doesn't smile. He studies a man on the phone and tries to copy him. - Tyson is seen at home working on the Skynet chip prototype. His wife comes in and reminds him he's promised to take the kids to Raging Waters. Tyson explains to his wife what a neural net processor is and how it will change mankind for the better. - At Enrique's house, John and the T-800 are stacking up ammunitions. They start to talk about emotions and fear of death. John describes his childhood and his feelings about his mother's previous lovers. - John and the T-800 race after Sarah to prevent her killing Tyson. The T-800 argues that getting rid of Tyson might be the best thing after all, but John replies that killing is always wrong. - At Cyberdyne, Tyson shatters a large scale model of the Skynet chip with an axe. - In the factory after the T-1000 is shattered by the Terminator, we see that it's beginning to lose control of its morphing. Its hand takes on black and yellow stripes 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. - The supplemental section features a new ending, set in the future, where Sarah Connor is seen as a old woman in a playground filled with children. - The British Board of Film Classification requested some cuts before giving the film a "15" certificate in the UK. They objected to all scenes where the Terminator hits policemen, security guards, innocent bystanders. Cameron cut out a few frames from the scene where Sarah hits the hospital orderly with a broom handle (in the UK version she hits him four times instead of six). - The UK video version is also rated "15" but, in addition to the above, there are a few more cuts: for example, the scene in an underground garage where the T-800 pulls a policemen out of a patrol car doesn't show him hitting face-first into a concrete pillar. An uncut 18-rated version is available in the UK on laserdisc. - There is another version available in the UK, called "T2 - Judgment Day (T1000 Edition)" which includes all the above scenes except for the one where T1000 searches John's room. It doesn't have the alternate ending either. - The UK (T1000 Edition) video release also omits one scene from the theatrical version. In the original movie and video release, during the Cyberdyne break-in sequence, Dyson and John are seen entering the security vault and smashing the glass cases to obtain the Terminator arm and CPU, John then saying "We've got Skynet by the balls now". In the T1000 Edition, we only see Dyson and John using their keys to get inside the vault before the scene cuts away. Trivia: - Scenes in the screenplay but not filmed: - Extended Future War sequence where the resistance won and enter a SkyNet lab where they find the time-portal and a storage facilities of Terminators. You also see Reese talking to John. - Sarah's ECT where Sarah is fitted for electro-convulsive therapy and voltage is pumped into her. - Salceda's death sequence. Sal's dog starts barking, Sal goes out tries to shoot the T-1000 and fails. T-1000 uses the pointed finger/sword trick to Sal's shoulder blades saying ``I know this hurts. Where is John Connor''. Sal curses him and his hands search around the ground near some crates that held grenades. He kills himself and hopefully the T-1000 with one. No luck. T-1000 head falls off but like the little piece in the asylum escape sequence, it oozes back into his boots. Yolanda sees this and hugs the baby as T-1000 steps closer. T-1000 picks up the baby and gets the info from her as where John and others had gone. - Gant Ranch. This section was a longer version of Sal's and refers to Travis Gant, ``crazy ex-Green Beret'' that John mentions his mother seeing before she was caught. Longer and has romantic notions between the two. After Sarah, John & the T-800 left, T-1000 kills Gant as he did like with John's ``Mom''. Disguised as Gant's lover, he easily stepped up to him and tortured him for answers before killing him. - Dyson's Vision Sequence. Dyson, the creator of the new processor had a dream sequence before he died and dropped the device on the trigger. In it he saw a picture of his family before a nuclear explosion turned it to ash. He sees his family running and then a scene of the sun as it pulls back to reveal Dyson's dying eye before he closes it and drops the book. - A scene in a Skynet-free future, with Sarah Connor as an older woman giving a monologue about how John become a senator. - Scenes filmed but not included in the theatrical release: - Sarah Connor was to have a dream where Reese appears and warns her that THEIR son is in danger. She has to save him, etc. They kiss and then she wakes up. This is the only scene 'Michael Biehn' (qv) was in, and appeared in some promotional trailers. - Another hospital scene was cut that took place directly after the pre-med students peer into Sarah's room. The doctor reminds the orderlies to make sure she gets her medication. The cut scene was of the staff coming in to give her the pills. They smack her in the gut with their batons and force the pills down her throat, then kick her while she's on the floor doubled over in pain. - After the T-1000 kills John's foster parents, he ventures outside to get the dog to shut-up. He reaches down and snatches the collar off the dog, thus killing the dog. On the collar is stamped the dog's name ``Max''. The T-1000 realizes he has been duped by John (actually the T-800 imitating John's voice) by calling the dog ``Wolfie''. - After killing the dog, the T-1000 goes to John's room to try to any clues as to where John might be. He stalks around the room waving his arms and ``feeling'' things on the shelves, on the walls, etc. He eventually stops in front of a poster, and without feeling it, realizes there is something behind it. He rips it down and finds a box of mementos (pictures, and the like). This must be where the T-1000 figures out about the desert compound that Sarah, John, and the T-800 head to after the hospital. Director 'James Cameron' (qv) decided to cut it because it made the T-1000 look to much like it had X-Ray vision. - At the abandoned gas station, a scene involved Sarah and John talking with the T-800 about learning. He tells them that his CPU was switched to read-only before being sent out. Cyberdyne doesn't want them to learn too much while on the own. John asks can it be switched and he says yes. You then see the T-800's face in a ``mirror'' talking Sarah through the procedure. A puppet was used for the foreground Sarah to work on and Linda's twin sister Leslie was in the mirror mimicking Linda's hand movements. After the CPU is removed, the T-800 shuts-down and Sarah places it on a table. She picks up a hammer and tries to smash it to render him inoperative. John stops her and says they need him. He starts to show authority for the first time and says to Sarah, ``How am I supposed to be a world leader if my own mother won't listen to me?'' - While in the desert, John attempts to teach the T-800 to smile. He tells him that he looks like a dork because he doesn't smile. He studies a man on the phone and tries to copy him. - The badge on the T1000's uniform reads ``Austin'' (named after producer 'Stephanie Austin' (qv)), although it is not fully visible in the film. - A promotional trailer for the film included a scene not in the film: the T800 being constructed. - The T800's ``point-of-view'' scenes at the biker's bar identify a Harley Davidson ``Fatboy'', and a carcinogen in the cigar smoke. - The T800 carries a gun in a box of roses. Some of the soundtrack was written by ``Guns 'n Roses''. - For the truck scene, they modified a normal truck to hide the usual steering wheel, and added a cosmetic steering wheel on the right side. In addition, the truck had a mirror-image license plate and other necessary stuff. - The T800's bike jump into the stormwater drain was performed by a stuntman 'Peter Kent' (qv). The motorbike was supported by 1-inch cables, so that when they hit the ground, the bike and rider only weighted 180 pounds. The cables were later digitally erased. - More explicit shots of the arm cutting scene were removed. - SFX crew had to incorporate 'Robert Patrick (I)' (qv)'s football-injury limp in their animation of the T1000. Next, they filmed the stuff with the T1000 pretending to be driving from the right-hand steering wheel (wearing a mirror-image police uniform), while the real driver was hidden under a black hood at the lowered real steering wheel. For the final film, the scenes were flipped left-to-right to make it all look right, and combined with footage shot with a normal truck driving in the drain. This was done so that Patrick could concentrate on acting rather than driving. They accidentally caught a street sign; after they mirror-imaged the scene, they digitally reversed the text on the sign so it would appear correct. - After throwing the T800 through the shopping center window, the T1000 glances at a mannequin that is entirely covered with chrome. - The T1000 tells the helicopter pilot to ``Get out!''. This is an interesting parallel to _Terminator, The (1984)_ (qv), in which the T800 gives the same command to a truck driver under similar circumstances. - The explosive (``polydichloric euthimal'') used to destroy the Cyberdyne building shares this name with a powerful hallucinogenic drug featured in _Outland (1981)_ (qv). - The T800 loses its left arm, and hauls itself forward with its right. The same thing happened to the T800 in _Terminator, The (1984)_ (qv). - The T1000 has at least three hands when it is flying the helicopter. - 'Linda Hamilton' (qv)'s twin 'Leslie Hamilton Gearren' (qv) played the T1000 when it was imitating Sarah Connor. - Identical twins 'Don Stanton' (qv) and 'Dan Stanton' (qv) played the hospital security guard and the T1000. - The T-800 says ``I need a vacation'', which 'Arnold Schwarzenegger' (qv) previously said in _Kindergarten Cop (1990)_ (qv). This was not in the script, but ad-libbed. - Schwarzenegger said during the making of this film that he would never play another evil character again. - The cryo-truck ``Benthic Petroleum'', the name of the company in _Abyss, The (1989)_ (qv), also directed by Cameron. - A ``T800'' is a parallel CPU usually found running OCCAM. - ACTTRADE(Arnold Schwarzenegger): ``I'll be back!'' - DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [nice cut]: during the opening credits: the cut from the playing children to the dark future. - DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [feet]: the terminator in the future crushes a skull with its foot. - DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [feet]: When the T800 and the T1000 meet for the first time, the T800 takes the gun out of the flower box and walks over the roses. - DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [feet]: When Sarah, John and the T800 are chased by the T1000 through the psychiatric clinic, the T1000 walks over the sunglasses that the T800 had discarded. - DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [nuke] Goofs: - CONT: The police computer indicates John was born in 1985 and is 10 years old, indicating the current year to be 1995 or 1996.

Quotes: Sarah Connor: 3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was sent to strike at me in the year 1984. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first. The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Sarah Connor: And Skynet fights back. John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby." The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby. John Connor: Yeah! Or "later dickwad." And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations. The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad. John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it! The Terminator: No problemo. The Terminator: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves. [John Connor wants to get some things from home.] The Terminator: Negative. The T1000 will defintely try to reacquire you there. John Connor: You sure? The Terminator: I would. The Terminator: Why do you cry? John Connor: You mean people? The Terminator: Yes. John Connor: I dont' know. We just cry. You know, when it hurts. The Terminator: Pain causes it? John Connor: No, it's when there's nothing wrong with you, but you cry anyway. You get it? The Terminator: No. [On the phone to John Connor's foster mom.] The Terminator: What's the dog's name? John Connor: Max. The Terminator [in John's voice]: Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking? Is he alright? Janelle Voight: Wolfie's fine, honey. Wolfie's just fine. Where are you? The Terminator: [hangs up] Your foster parents are dead. John Connor: You just can't go around killing people. The Terminator: Why? John Connor: What do you mean why? 'Cause you can't. The Terminator: Why? John Connor: Because you just can't, OK? Trust me on this. John Connor: We've got company. Miles Dyson: Police? Sarah Connor: How many? John Connor: Uh, all of them, I think. The Terminator: I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle! Cigar Biker: You forgot to say please... Dr. Silberman: I'm sure it feels very real to you. Sarah Connor: On August 29th, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty fucking real to you too. Anybody not wearing 2 million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day. Get it? John Connor to The Terminator: Now don't take this the wrong way, but you're a terminator, right? John Connor: You're not here to kill me - I figured out that for myself. So what's the deal? Terminator: My mission is to protect you. John Connor: Yeah? Who sent you? Terminator: You did. 35 years from now you reprogrammed me to be your protector here - in this time. John Connor: This is deep... [John Connor is by a telephone booth, wanting to call home] John Connor to Terminator: You got a quarter? John Connor: Did you call *moi* a dipshit? [Lewis, the Guard buys a cup of coffee, just before he is introduced to the T-1000 (As Lewis)] Lewis, the Guard: Hey, I got a full house! Gwen: That's good Lewis. Lewis, the Guard: Must be my lucky day... [The Terminator has promised not to kill anybody, but to get into the hospital he shoots the guard in the legs] Terminator: He'll live. Dr. Silbermann: You broke my arm! Sarah Connor: There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one. [Just like in _The Terminator_ (qv)] The Terminator: Come with me if you want to live! Sarah Connor to The Terminator: So, what's your story? The Terminator: Stay here, I'll be back! T-1000: Say... That's a nice bike... The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby! The Terminator: I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do. Sarah Connor narrating: If a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.
