Production took sufficiently long that Edward Furlong visibly aged during the shoot. He is clearly much younger in the scene in the desert, for instance, than in other scenes. His voice began to break and had to be pitched to one level in post-production.

In the audio commentary, director James Cameron said that not only was the biker bar scene filmed across the street from where LAPD officers beat up Rodney King, but they were filming the night of the beating. Cameron got the idea for Strange Days (1995) after the outcome of the verdict on April 29, 1992.

A female passerby actually wandered onto the biker bar set thinking it was real, despite walking past all the location trucks, cameras and lights. Seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger standing in the bar dressed only in boxer shorts, she wondered aloud what was going on, only for Schwarzenegger to reply that it was male stripper night. Whether it was a coincidence or not, in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), the Terminator (played again by Schwarzenegger) actually steps into a bar during male stripper night.

For the Los Angeles River sequence, Arnold Schwarzenegger was in pain because, since he could not wear a glove while cocking the gun, his fingers would get stuck in the mechanism. He tore the skin from his fingers and hand many times before he mastered it, and he achieved this while trying to act and control a Harley at the same time as James Cameron told him where to look. He could not dart his eyes either because it would have ruined the shot. Shooting the gates also took weeks of practice because he had to also act cool while doing it.

Carolco studio executives were nervous and concerned when the original budget of US $75 million ballooned up to US $88 million, with more to come. In order to keep the budget manageable, they proposed to eliminate a few scenes, particularly the opening biker bar scene where The Terminator is introduced. They tried to get Arnold Schwarzenegger to persuade James Cameron to remove that scene, but Schwarzenegger turned them down, saying, 'Only a studio guy would cut a scene out like that.'

For the sound of T-1000 passing through metal bars, sound designer Gary Rydstrom simply inverted an open can of dog food and recorded the close-packed food as it oozed slowly out. When transforming and flowing like mercury, the 'metallic' sound was the spraying of Dust-Off into a mixture of flour and water, with a condom-sealed microphone submerged in the goo. For the sound of bullets striking the T-1000, inverted glass was slammed into a container of yogurt, creating a combo sound of hard edge and goop.

After the release of The Abyss (1989) (featuring the infamous pseudo-pod scene), director James Cameron felt he was ready to start working on this film. However, he knew that half of the film's rights were owned by Hemdale (producer of The Terminator (1984)). He ultimately went bankrupt, and the lack of funding prevented him from working. While working on Total Recall (1990), with Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, Arnold Schwarzenegger learned of Cameron's intention to make the film, and it was him who urged Kassar and Vajna to buy the rights from Hemdale. Finally, they bought them in February 1990, and Cameron would only start work the following month.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was unsure initially about the Terminator not being able to kill people. He suspected the studio was trying to soften the violence like in Conan the Destroyer (1984). He felt that had destroyed the 'Conan' franchise, and did not want to see it happen with this series as well. However, since Terminator 2 (1991) was rated R, he relaxed a little.

Linda Hamilton trained with former Israeli commando Uzi Gal and with personal trainer Anthony Cortés for three hours a day, six days a week for thirteen weeks before filming. Under both, she trained intensely with weights and learned judo and heavy military training techniques. She had to maintain a demanding non-fat diet, even during filming, and lost twelve pounds. Because of this punishing regimen, she declined to reprise her role for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). Ironically, her identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren was only required to 'hit the gym' for a few hours a week, and the difference is noticeable in the two scenes in which they appear together.

So extensive is the Foley teamwork (sound design) in this movie, that just about every incidental movement on screen is replaced: the creaks of the Terminator's leather jacket, his buckle clinks and footsteps. The entire sequence where Sarah escapes from her hospital bed using a paper clip to pick the strap buckle and door lock featured no originally recorded sounds, only Foley and music. Most of the sounds coming from weapons in the film were upgraded in post-production to create a sort of 'hyperreality'; handguns would get the sound of higher caliber guns, while shotguns would sound like cannons. The minigun used at the end originally made one loud monotonous sound because the shots are fired in such quick succession; the sound was slowed down considerably in post-production so that separate shots could be heard.

An opening segment showing the design of the Time Displacement Machine, which sent the first Terminator and Kyle Reese back in the time in the first film, was rejected for the sequel, as it was too complicated, costly and unnecessary for plot development (also, it featured another rating problem for additional nudity, as Reese was required to go through the portal while naked). It would have consisted of three rings independently rotating around each other, with the subject to be displaced levitating in their center. The design ultimately resurfaced in 1997 as Jodie Foster's space traveling device in Contact (1997). The full Time Displacement Machine would ultimately be seen in the Terminator series in Terminator Genisys (2015).

The special effects crew had to incorporate Robert Patrick's football-injury limp in their animation of the T-1000. Next, they filmed the stuff with the T-1000 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.

Lead singer of heavy metal band WASP, Blackie Lawless, was considered for the role of the liquid-metal T-1000, although his height proved to be a problem.

In an AOL chat, Lawless explained, 'Probably the biggest regret that I have, though I didn't turn it down, was a part in Terminator 2 that Robert Patrick got.

Filmed scenes not included in the theatrical release (all but two were restored in the Special Edition): - Directly after the pre-med students peer into Sarah's room, the doctor reminds the orderlies to make sure she takes her medication. The cut scene was of the staff coming in to give her the pills. She refuses, so 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.
- Another hospital scene was cut that took place after John Connor robs the ATM and heads for the mall. Sarah Connor was to have a drug-induced dream where Reese appears and warns her that she needs to save their son from danger. They kiss and hug, but Reese disappears and walks out. Sarah chases him outside, to find herself in the same spot as the nuclear nightmare scene later in the movie. She sees the large white flash, and then she wakes up. This is the only scene that Michael Biehn was in, and appeared in some promotional trailers. Cameron cut the scene because he thought that audiences who had not seen the first movie would be confused by the appearance of Kyle.
- A scene showing the T-1000 at the scene of the crashed truck in the canal, where he steals a police car.
- After the T-1000 kills John's foster parents, he ventures outside and kills the dog to check its nametag, which is stamped with the name 'Max'. The T-1000 does this because the Terminator hung up as soon as the T-1000 confirmed the wrong name by calling the dog 'Wolfie'; it now knows John will not trust his 'parents' and so gives up waiting for John to return home.
- After killing the dog, the T-1000 goes to John's room to try to find 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, realizes there is something behind it, rips it down and finds a box of mementos (pictures, and the like). This must be where the T-1000 figures out about Sarah's current whereabouts, and the desert compound that Sarah, John, and the Terminator head to after the hospital. Director James Cameron decided to cut it because the T-1000's sampling abilities were already sufficiently conveyed in earlier scenes, so this scene became redundant (and because it made the T-1000 look too much like it had x-ray vision). This scene was NOT included in the SE.
- At the abandoned gas station, a scene involved Sarah and John talking with the Terminator about learning. He tells them that his CPU was switched to read-only before being sent out, as Skynet doesn't want their units to think too much while on their own. John asks if it can be reset. You then see the Terminator's face in a 'mirror' talking Sarah through an operation procedure. A puppet was used for the foreground Sarah to work on and Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren was in the mirror mimicking Linda's hand movements. After the CPU is removed, the Terminator 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 asks her how he is supposed to be a great military leader if even his own mother won't listen to him. She reluctantly reinserts the chip back into the Terminator's head.
- A scene at a truck stop before John, Sarah and Terminator arrive at the Salceda farm. John points out to the Terminator that he shouldn't be so serious all the time. He encourages him to smile once in a while. The Terminator tries to perform a smile, but the result is less than convincing, so John encourages him to practice in front of a mirror.
- Directly after Terminator tells Sarah about Miles Dyson, there is a scene where Dyson is seen in his private residence, where his wife tells him he is much too focused on finishing his microchip, and Miles explains how his design will revolutionize artificial intelligence.
- Some more dialogue between John and the Terminator as they assemble weapons in the desert. John tells about his unusual childhood, and ask Terminator if he experiences emotions.
- Before Sarah takes aim at Dyson, she is seen approaching the house and setting up weapons.
- A scene in Cyberdyne, where Dyson destroys the model of his revolutionary microchip.
- In the steel mill, the T-1000 experiences some negative effects from being frozen earlier. It has difficulties maintaining its shape and color when it touches other materials, like steel bars and the floor. This leads to another deleted shot where John sees the two Sarahs, and recognizes the fake one because its feet seem fused to the metal floor.
- A scene in a Skynet-free future, with Sarah Connor as an older woman giving a monologue about how Judgment Day no longer occurred, and John becoming a senator. This scene was NOT included in the SE, because James Cameron felt it just didn't fit the dark, gloomy atmosphere of the rest of the movie.

Terminator answers that this is unknown (this shot was in the trailer).

Film debut of Edward Furlong. He won the part of John Connor after being discovered by Casting Director Mali Finn. She had been looking for a 'streetwise kid', but none of the young professional actors that had come for a screentest had been convincing enough. She widened her search to the Boys' Club of Pasadena, California, where she found Edward. When she approached him, he gave her the right amount of attitude, convincing her that he would be perfect for the role.

Scenes in the original screenplay but not filmed: - Extended Future War sequence. The entire prologue has a voice over by John Connor, describing Judgment Day and the events of the previous movie. The extended scene shows the Resistance winning the war when they destroy Skynet's central processor, rendering all Skynet's units inert in an instant. John and his squad enter a Skynet lab where they find the time-portal and a storage facility of Terminators. Reese talks to John before he volunteers to be sent through time; it is implied that Reese learns that he is in fact John's father. After Reese is sent, John enters a storage cabinet full of Terminators (different types even). One of the 101-models is missing (being the Terminator from the first movie). John hints that he needs to send another one himself. After that, the rest of the movie is effectively one long flashback of John. The scene was omitted because it was not deemed narratively important enough to justify the costs of building additional sets, but it did appear later in a similar form in Terminator Genisys (2015).
- Sarah's ECT. Sarah is fitted for electro-convulsive therapy, and voltage is pumped into her. The shock causes her to wince in pain, and relive several moments from her life, most prominently the T-800 chasing her through the factory and lunging at her in the previous film.
- Alternate nuclear nightmare scene. Sarah dreams that the Terminator takes her out of the asylum towards the fence, where she sees nuclear silos opening, firing their missiles. One nuclear bomb goes off, ripping off both her flesh and the Terminator's. Then she wakes up.
- Extended hospital escape. After getting out of the elevator, the T-800 revs up his motorcycle and directs it unmanned and at full speed at the elevator, causing it to explode as the T-1000 emerges from it, giving John, Sarah and him some more time to commandeer a vehicle.
- Salceda's death sequence. Enrique Salceda's dog starts barking as the T-1000 approaches. Enrique goes out and tries to shoot it, but T-1000 pierces his shoulder blades in order to torture him for information. Enrique grabs a grenade from a crate behind him and blows himself up, and hopefully the T-1000 with it. However, T-1000's head merely falls off, and like the little piece in the asylum escape sequence, it oozes back into his boots. Enrique's wife Yolanda sees this and hugs her baby as T-1000 steps closer. T-1000 picks up the baby and gets the info from her as to where John and others had gone.
- Gant Ranch. This section was a longer version of Salceda's ranch and refers to Travis Gant, the 'crazy ex-Green Beret' that John mentions his mother seeing before she was caught (Salceda being one of his subordinates). The scene is longer and has romantic notions between the two. It also sees Gant making an attempt to have Terminator smile. After Sarah, John and the Terminator leave, T-1000 kills Gant as he did like with John's 'Mom': disguised as Gant's lover, he easily steps up to him and tortures him for answers before killing him.
- Dyson's Vision Sequence. Dyson 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 inferno 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 section of the enlarged chip onto the trigger (Dyson has a copy in his house that gets shot up by Sarah, and the original is shot at the same time as he is by the S.W.A.T. Team, thus he uses his creation to destroy it). Scenes of the blazing inferno were ultimately used during the movie's opening credits.

Kenner released a 'Bio-Flesh Regenerator' play-set, which came with T-800 Terminator action figures. Which the T-800 Terminator endoskeleton is put into a clear plastic mold of Arnold Schwarzenegger. A flesh-colored substance, similar to Play-Doh, was injected into the mold around the endoskeleton, creating a 'flesh' body that could be peeled off in places to reveal the endoskeleton beneath, mimicking the damage seen in the movie.

James Cameron mentions on the DVD commentary that the Terminator does not blink in the film. However, this is not exactly true. For example, the T-800 can be seen blinking right after he gets on the motorbike at the beginning of the film when the bar owner fires a shotgun into the air. Additionally, the T-1000 can be seen blinking very briefly when firing in the hallway at the Galleria.

Originally the Terminator was going to use a MAC-10 to shoot at the police, but James Cameron decided to revisit the gun used in Predator (1987). The gun used the same custom Y-frame as in Predator with some modifications. The modified M60 fore-grip assembly was removed in its entirety. To replace it a 'chainsaw' grip was mounted on the Y-frame and the M16-style carry handle was removed. This style of carry has become the 'standard' for hand-held Miniguns in movies and video games. The Y-frame is still attached to the weapon's mounting lugs, though with no carry handle, the weapon lost its sling attachment point, forcing Arnold to carry all the weight of the weapon in his hands. In order to fire it, the Terminator carries a duffel bag full of ammo and possibly the batteries as well, as there are some shots that show what appear to be cables leading from the gun and into the duffel bag. It is also possible that the duffel bag was simply used to hide the fact that the cables trailed off set to the power supply and gun control unit.

Announced that the film would be digitally remastered in 3D to commemorate its 25th anniversary, with a worldwide re-release planned for summer 2017. The version to be remastered and re released in 3D was the original 137 minute theatrical cut, as the extended edition is not James Cameron's preferred version. Only one camera shot from the opening chase sequence was digitally altered to fix a minor continuity error which had bugged Cameron since the 1991 release. Similar to Cameron's Titanic (1997) 3D, Lightstorm Entertainment oversaw the work on the 3D version of Terminator 2, which took nearly a year to finish.

The motorcycle the T800 rides is a Harley-Davidson Softail 'Fatboy.' Although never confirmed by Harley-Davidson, many believe that HD came up with the 'Fatboy' model name as a tasteless joke, made by combining the nicknames of the two atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan ('Little Boy' and 'Fat Man'). The 'Fatboy' bike was supposed to represent the re-emergence and dominance of American bikes over their Japanese counterparts. The bike is said to have similar design lines of a B29 bomber and its tank symbols resemble a bomber pilot's flight wings. This could be a nod to Skynet's inception as a software program for bombing missions and its utilization of nuclear weapons to destroy its enemies.

Gene Warren Jr., a member of the Oscar-winning Visual Effects team, is the son of Gene Warren, who won a Special Effects Oscar for another time-travel movie, The Time Machine (1960).
John J. Connor just happens to be the name of the director of photography for Short Time (1990). Both movies starred Xander Berkeley.
Robert Winley who plays the cigar biker in this film, and Lance Henriksen (who was detective Vulkovich in The Terminator (1984)) appeared together in Stone Cold (1991) with some scenes together.
This film & Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) both show Missile Command (1982). Not only were both movies filmed in the same mall (SHerman Oaks Galleria) but Fast Times At Ridgemont High had characters named Brad & Stacy Hamilton. This movie stars Linda Hamilton.

William Wisher: (at around 27 mins) Co-writer Wisher is the photographer during the mall fight when the Terminator is thrown through the galleria window. Wisher also played the police officer who was violently carjacked in The Terminator (1984) (hence his look of recognition as he photographs the Terminator).

The trivia items below may give away important plot points.
Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren, was used as a double in scenes involving two 'Sarah Connors' (for example, when the T-1000 was imitating her), and in a scene not in the theatrical release (but on the DVD) as a mirror image of Linda.

(at around 1h 40 mins) Stunt pilot Charles A. Tamburro actually flew the helicopter under the overpass in the final chase scene. The camera crew refused to film the shot, because of the high risk involved. Director James Cameron did the filming himself, with the help of the camera car driver.

Special effects guru Stan Winston and his crew studied hours of nuclear test footage in order to make Sarah Connor's 'nuclear nightmare' scene look as realistic as possible. A miniature Los Angeles was made to simulate the scene. Some of the materials used in the miniature that mimicked all the destroyed masonry were Matzos crackers and Shredded Wheat. After each take, it would take on average two days to set the model up to shoot again. In late 1991, members of several U.S. federal nuclear testing labs unofficially declared it 'the most accurate depiction of a nuclear blast ever created for a fictional motion picture.' The special effects team members have stated several times that no other scene they ever worked on received such equal amounts of praise and emotional feedback from viewers.

(at around 1h 55 mins) The scene where the Terminator reboots after being 'shut down' by the T-1000 was not in the script and was only added during editing, because director James Cameron felt that the audience would not be able to understand how the Terminator returns to deliver the final blow against the T-1000. According to the Arnold Schwarzenegger book 'The Life and Times,' Cameron contacted Schwarzenegger, who was going to visit his friend Bruce Willis for Christmas, to come back for shooting that crucial scene. Ultimately, Schwarzenegger had to cancel his plans and film it. The scene where the Terminator pulls the impaled metal rod off was shot on Christmas day itself.

The effect of the T-1000 freezing and breaking up was achieved by filming shots of an amputee fitted with prosthetics, and of Robert Patrick with his real limbs buried underneath the set. Clever editing makes the effect appear almost seamless.

(at around 31 mins) The original script did not call for the top of the wrecker semi-tractor to be ripped off during the chase through the storm drain beside/beneath the freeway, but when they arrived on location they found that the cab would not fit under the overpass, so director James Cameron decided that the roof was going to have to come off.

(at around 2h) In the final scene, the lines 'I cannot self-terminate. You must lower me in the steel' were added by Arnold Schwarzenegger in post-production. Originally, Terminator silently gave Sarah the controls for the winch, but the test audience didn't understand why Terminator couldn't just drop himself into the steel, and instead needed Sarah to help him terminate.

An alternate ending for this movie was filmed but cut, which saw an elderly Sarah sitting at the park, telling the story about the Terminator, watching John playing with his daughter and tying her granddaughter's shoes.

While Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick share several scenes together, they never exchange dialogue face-to-face. At one point the T-800 tells the frozen T-1000 'Hasta la vista, baby', but the T-1000 could not respond so it is not a dialogue. They exchange words with the T-800 speaking in John's voice and the T-1000 speaking in Janelle's, but this occurs over the phone while impersonating, and not face-to-face.

James Cameron fought over the ending with Mario Kassar. Cameron wanted to end the film with an alternate Coda Ending (that showed the older Sarah in future) as a bookend, but Kassar wanted to end the film in an another way (as a measure for possible sequels). Cameron eventually relented when test audiences and Kassar himself reacted negatively over the coda ending, and he went with the existing one, commenting that this coda was way too positive compared to bleak and dark tone of the rest of the movie.

In the first three Terminator films, the villainous character's death is greeted with the word 'terminated' in some way: In The Terminator (1984), Sarah Connor says ' You're terminated, f#cker!' as she destroys the T-800. In T2, John Connor asks 'is it dead?' (of the melted T-1000) to which the Terminator replies 'Terminated'. In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), the T-850 says 'You are terminated' to the T-X before they explode.

The Terminator makes good on his promise not to kill anyone even before he meets John. For all of the mayhem and violence in this movie, the body count is sixteen (at the most), and only two of these by gunfire (the mall employee and Miles Dyson). The people who get killed are (in chronological order): three soldiers, the armored truck driver and his gunner in the Future War; the cop on patrol who encounters the newly-arrived T-1000; a mall employee; Todd and Janelle Voight (the latter implied); Lewis the guard; the cop on the motorcycle (copied by T-1000 and therefore implied to have been terminated off-screen); Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson, and the tanker truck driver. The trucker pulled from his truck by T-1000 as he is in pursuit of John makes a bad fall, but probably survived. The police helicopter pilot falls from a height, but probably only suffered some broken bones. The pickup truck driver is probably not in danger of dying as he does not jump off the bridge, but only jumps over the center divider in the middle of the bridge. A subplot was scripted where the T-1000 tracks down Enrique Salceda and kills him, but it was not filmed and not alluded to in the finished movie (it is implied that he follows Sarah's suggestion and goes into hiding himself). The T-1000 is directly or indirectly responsible for most (seven) of the deaths; the Terminator only injures people. According to a biographical documentary, Arnold Schwarzenegger only agreed to do the sequel if his role was more family-friendly, hence the 'no killing' rule written for his character. However, on the DVD audio commentary, James Cameron states that he had to convince Schwarzenegger that his character could no longer kill people.

In an alternate future coda with an elderly Sarah and John as a U.S. Senator, Sarah would originally see a young, non-veteran Kyle Reese walking by, to whom she regrettably cannot say anything. This idea was dropped very early on, as it simply raised too many questions about how this alternate Reese could have fathered John Connor. The entire ending was ultimately deleted, in favor of a more ambiguous and less cheery ending, also because a juvenile delinquent like John could not plausibly have become a Senator.

He is then attacked by the T-800 and has his car stolen. In this film, Wisher appears in the mall following the battle between the T-1000 and T-800. After the T-800 is thrown through a store window, Wisher can be seen photographing him as he is climbing to his feet, and his facial expression shows that he recognizes the T-800 (not knowing that this is a different machine). James Cameron confirmed that this is the same character as the police officer in the first film.

Sarah's recurring nightmare about the nuclear war, her aggressive behavior when she attacks Dr. Silberman, her attempted assassination on Miles Dyson, freaking out when she meets the T-800, and her behavior towards John are possible signs that Sarah is suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), following her deadly encounter with the T-800 in 1984. Among the symptoms of PTSD are upsetting dreams about the traumatic event, difficulty maintain close relationships, hopelessness about the future, irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior, and always being on guard for danger.

The original script had T-1000 search John Connor's room early in the film, and finding pictures of Enrique Salceda's ranch. The scene was filmed but was cut for pacing reasons, but it was supposed to explain a later scene where the T-1000 makes its way to Salceda's ranch, after Sarah, John and the T-800 have already left. He tries to torture Enrique for their whereabouts by skewering his shoulders with his finger spikes, saying 'I know this hurts. Where is John Connor?' Rather than giving up information, Enrique curses him, and blows himself up with a hand grenade. This forces the android to obtain the information from Enrique's wife by threatening her baby. This scene was not filmed, but the idea was recycled in the finale where T-1000 tortures Sarah in a similar way to make her call to John.

(at around 28 mins) John Connor escaped from the mall on his motorcycle with the T-1000 chasing him on foot. Robert Patrick was in such great shape from training for his role as the T-1000, he was actually able to catch John Connor's motorcycle during filming. Because the XR-80 is a 4 stroke Honda, but in the film it sounds like a CR-80 2stroke. If it were a 2 stroke as the unmistakable sound suggests, then he would not have been able to catch John as 2 strokes are much faster out of the hole and would get up to speed very quickly, if you can keep the front tire on the ground. 2 strokes take off. Right out from under you in sometimes. Leave you standing there.

The opening credits sequence, showing Los Angeles burning in a nuclear fire, was originally conceived as part of a vision of a dying Miles Dyson. As he is laying down on the floor, mortally wounded, Miles picks up a desk picture of his family. He has a vision of burning landscapes, the result of Judgment Day taking place, which change into a view of his wife and children, happily playing in the sun. With this happy memory becoming his final thought, his arm lowers onto the switch. Although powerful, the sequence was thought to focus too much on a secondary character, so it was re-written as a much more harsher and factual death scene.

(at around 1h 2 mins) After the escape from the mental hospital, the Terminator mentions that his internal chip is a learning computer, so the more time he spends with humans, the more he can learn. This was meant as an explanation as to how he picks up more and more human traits from John over the rest of the movie. However, the scene originally continued, with Terminator explaining that Skynet had set the chip to read-only, preventing him from thinking too much and becoming too independent. John and Sarah then reset the chip by surgically removing and reinserting it. The scene was omitted from the theatrical version but restored in the Special Edition.

In the original script and storyboards, the death of the T-1000 was only depicted as the android falling in a pool of molten steel, and seen from above as it turns inside-out into a face; how the T-1000 would exactly react in the steel was still open to interpretation. One idea was for the android to go through every imaginable shape, some for only a few seconds, but it would be too time-consuming to make this look realistic. Another idea was to have the T-1000 grabbing a chain and hauling part of its dissolving body out of the pool, which would turn into a black crusted mass on the floor. James Cameron finally came with the idea to have T-1000 going through its previous impersonations before finally dissolving as a tortured face.

The movie and the novel are in conflict concerning the question on why the T-800 can't self terminate. In the novel, the T-800 immediately commits suicide by stepping into the molten steel once the T-1000 has died. In the movie, this moment is drawn out to generate emotional issues about the T-800's mortality. However, as a soldier doing a duty, the T-800 probably would not have required others to end his life when the future was at stake. The T-800's death sequence from the official novel: Terminator put his hand on John's shoulder. 'I must complete my mission.' And as he said that, the human side of his face came back into the light. He reached toward John and his metal finger touched the tear trickling down his cheek. It was the revelation. 'I know now why you cry, although it is something I can never do.' He turned to Sarah and said, 'Goodbye.' 'Are you afraid?' There was the briefest instant before he responded. 'Yes,' he said. Not because he was going to cease functioning as a terminator, but because he had sensed a vision beyond his programming of a cosmic order vast beyond Skynet's comprehension. And it gave him a sense of his first feeling. Fear. Of where he was going next, if anywhere. Of course, he hadn't been asked for further details on his answer, so he didn't say any of this. He simply turned and stepped off the edge. [page 235] During the scene when collecting weapons from the hidden cache at the compound of Enrique, John Connor asks the T-800 if it felt fear. To this the T-800 simply replies, 'No.' John then asks, 'Not even of dying?' The T-800 again replies, 'No.' John Connor presses further, 'You don't feel any emotion about it one way or another?' This is when the T-800 says conflictingly, 'No, I have to stay functional until my mission is complete. Then it doesn't matter.'
