Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a 1991 action/Science Fiction film, the sequel to 1984's The Terminator and the second film in the Terminator franchise. James Cameron returned to the director's chair, and both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton returned for their roles as the T-800 Model Terminator and Sarah Connor. Similarly to Aliens, which Cameron directed during the interim between the first two Terminators, Judgement Day notably forgoes the horror angle of its predecessor, instead providing a more action-oriented story (with a much bigger budget) that would set a precedent for later films in the franchise.The war with the machines caused by the nuclear apocalypse of Judgment Day ends with humanity as the victors, but before the humans can destroy SkyNet, it sends an advanced Terminator — a nigh-invulnerable shapeshifting T-1000 model — back in time as a last-ditch attempt to change the past so the machines will win the war, this time by killing John Connor himself before he grows into the human resistance leader. In response, John Connor sends back a T-800 Terminator that's been reprogrammed to protect his past self.Both Terminators arrive in 1995, when ten-year-old John lives with foster parents and Sarah has been committed to a mental hospital after trying to blow up a computer factory. The T-1000 catches up with John at the same time as the T-800, the latter of which saves John and protects him at any cost. The T-800 later tells John that the T-1000 will kill anyone it chooses to replicate; when John figures out the T-1000 will attempt to replicate his mother and use the disguise as a trap, he forces the T-800 to rescue Sarah. The Connors and the T-800 escape the asylum after an encounter with the T-1000, an act which ultimately pushes the trio into a new course of action: change the fate of the world by averting Judgment Day. To do so, they must stop Skynet from becoming a reality — and keep the T-1000 off their trail long enough to do it.The film was initially followed by Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which itself was followed by Terminator Salvation. The franchise since has held onto the first film and this film as absolute canon, but each new work (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Terminator Genisys, Terminator: Dark Fate) has mostly ignored each other and the third and fourth films.The acquisition of US TV rights to this film by Paramount in 1999 after its acquisition of Spelling Entertainment Group, parent of previous syndicator Worldvision Enterprises, marked the beginning of the involvement of Paramount in the Terminator franchise. Paramount distributed Genisys worldwide in 2015 and Dark Fate in North America (with 20th Century Fox handling international distribution) in 2019.

comment
Self-Plagiarism: The re-introduction of Sarah Connor in a mental hospital was taken from Cameron's original script for Rambo: First Blood Part II. The T-1000 prying the elevator doors open only to get blasted in the face with a shotgun is lifted directly from Aliens. The "Don't ask" scene at Cyberdyne is similar to a scene from the Special Edition of Aliens at Hadley's Hope.

comment
Sarah takes the M1911 from the T-800 during the escape from the asylum as her first weapon. She later picks up an M16 variant which she uses to try to kill Dyson before her Became Their Own Antithesis moment. She uses another to shoot at the T-1000 during the helicopter chase. Finally, she picks up a pump shotgun (pumping it one-handed due to her injuries) and uses it against the T-1000 in the steel mill.

Creator Cameo: James Cameron is the biker in the bar at the beginning who is about to attack the T-800 with a pool stick, but thinks better of it, drops the pool stick, and backs away. And when the T-800 gets up after being thrown through a shop window, the co-writer William Wisher plays a bystander snapping photographs; the cop attacked by the original Terminator in The Terminator.

Heroic BSoD: Sarah loses it when she sees the T-800, which looks exactly like the machine that chased her for days and killed her lover in the first film, and has probably haunted her nightmares ever since. Until this point, she believes she's in a Stable Time Loop in which no new players would arrive from the future, since that's what Reese told her. After this point, she knows things have been changed and she can keep changing them. After a ruthless assault on Dyson's house, she has another when she gets a "My God, What Have I Done?" moment as she sees that he's an man with a loving family, oblivious to the future effects of his work. In a very literal sense of a Blue Screen of Death, when the T-800 is lowered into the molten steel, the last we see of his display resembles a core dump.

Trailers Always Spoil
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_143939c1
comment
In spite of Trailers Always Spoil, this was intended. When John is cornered in a hallway by the T-800 and the T-1000, they each take out their guns and point them forward — the angles make it unclear who is aiming at what, and the movie up to this point has implied the T-1000 is John's protector and the T-800 is hunting him. Then the T-800 shouts "Get down" at John. This line, and the subsequent shootout between the two Terminators, completely flips the story on its head.

John tells the T-800, that Janell has never sounded so nice or concerned. The T-800 asks John to give him the phone:

Parents in Distress
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_15f42962
comment
Parents in Distress: The T-1000 targets not only John, but also Sarah to lure out John and force him to surrender. Even after partially seeing for himself how much of a technologically weaponized nightmare it is, John was still adamant about saving his mother despite the T-800 restraining John and citing that any attempt to rescue Sarah is the worst decision John can make. Not that John likes them and they're not sympathetic people, but the T-800 correctly predicts that the T-1000 targets John's foster parents in order to get to him. Unfortunately it's too late by the time John tries to warn them. As Sarah holds a wounded Miles at gunpoint, his son Danny pleads with her not to kill him. Subverted later, as the T-800 correctly predicted, the T-1000 anticipated Sarah Conner's assassination attempt on Dyson to prevent Judgement Day; but it arrived several hours too late and the attack on Cyberdyne was already underway. Had it forecast Sarah's plan earlier, it would've copied and killed Dyson (disregarding any time-travel implications this would have on Skynet) then targeted Sarah once again to lure out its primary objective: John.

Injured Self-Drag: T-800 is repeatedly hit by a girder landed forward on him by a ruthless T-1000. The former drags across the floor in an attempt to grab an M-79 Grenade Launcher, but T-1000 stabs him downward with a steel tube to keep him immobile and go back to look for John Connor. After a brief self-repair command, T-800 reactivates, removes the tube from his body, grabs the grenade launcher, and drags to a conveyor belt while aiming with the gun to shoot T-1000 and (with the projectile's impact) push him to the molten steel container below, finally killing him.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: John is devastated and moved to tears when Sarah harshly chides him for rescuing her.

She finally shows him affection when she realizes she almost became as cold-hearted as a Terminator.

The Worf Effect
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: The film plays with this trope. The T-800 (Arnold), the 6'2" unstoppable killer robot who was one of the most menacing movie villains ever in the previous film, gets thrown around like a ragdoll by the considerably shorter and slimmer T-1000, which is a more advanced model. This demonstrates the superior technology of the T-1000. The "playing with" part is that the true advantage depends on the type of combat involved. If it's a gunfight, the impervious T-800 will win, but if it's a fistfight, the intangible T-1000 will win. The T-1000 also does this to the T-800 another way. Early in the film in the first real action sequence, the T-1000 chases John on his minibike and eventually commandeers a tow truck, which the T-800 blows up. In the first film, a similar explosion destroyed the T-800's flesh and damaged it so it couldn't walk. The T-1000, on the other hand, walks out of the flames, reforms its human disguise, and looks perfectly fine. This is a signal that it will be far harder to kill than the original T-800 was.

Death Means Humanity: After the T-800 Heroic Sacrifice in order to prevent future reverse engineering of his model from Cyberdyne, Sarah Connor reflects that the Terminator learned to have more regard for human life than most humans. The novelization goes further, hinting that in its last moments the T-800 grasped some basic concept of greater forces than Skynet and then entered into an unspecified afterlife.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_18565557
comment
Descent into Darkness Song: A very subtle, very quick version occurs during the mall confrontation scene where both Terminators find John at the same time. Because the movie is playing up the fact that either Terminator could be evil, you hear both of their themes play one after the other. First Arnold's strong metal percussion then the T-1000's low ominous moan. Then, as both of them meet each other with John in the middle, for a brief moment both play on top of each other, adding to the tension of which (if not both) Terminators are evil. Then Arnold saves John and the T-1000's low moan completely takes over. He's our bad guy.

Artistic License – Biology
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Unlike the first film, where the T-800's flesh covering slowly necrotizes over time due to injuries, The T-800 in this film and all sequels have a flesh covering that can sustain itself and regenerate over time without real organs or circulatory systems to speak of, with subtle implications that the organic bits are a form of advanced biotech. You cannot look directly at molten metal. Like trying to stare straight at the sun, it's too bright, and without proper eye-protection, you will damage your vision. After breaking Silberman's arm, Sarah says that there are 215 bones in the human body, the arm is only one. Technically there are 206 bones and since Sarah broke Silberman's forearm, she broke two (the two forearm bones are the ulna and radius - though it's possible she only broke one or the other).

Feel No Pain
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_19211122
comment
Feel No Pain: Played With when the T-800 is asked if his (many) bullet wounds hurt, and he states flatly, "I sense injury. The data could be called pain." This suggests that Terminators do feel pain, but only to the extent that is necessary for threat recognition and response. Terminators, however, have no pain reflex or pain trauma, and don't go into shock like humans do. Damage assessment is simply part of the mission. Played With for the T-1000 as well. While the T-1000 is mostly impervious to damage, it appears to find being frozen by liquid Nitrogen to be extremely painful (the shooting script even mentions it looking at the stump of its arm in agony), and similarly with the way it thrashes around in the molten steel.

Too Good to Be True: John calls his foster parents to see if they're safe from the T-1000. What initially tips him off that's something's not kosher is that his foster mother is being far nicer to him than she ever has before, since normally she's fed up with his juvenile delinquent ways. Sure enough, the T-1000 has already replaced her, and is in the middle of killing off his foster father as well while they're talking.

Womanliness as Pathos
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_1b39f70c
comment
Womanliness as Pathos: Sarah Connor in The Terminator was scripted to be a vulnerable, accessible Girl Next Door compared to the unstoppable, terrifying monster coming to kill her. Her design was crafted to be as far as possible from what you'd expect from a woman destined to save the world. In this movie, she was redesigned so that the girl we knew was gone. Now, we have a tougher, more proactive Sarah, but she is described as being like a "cornered animal" whose voice and behavior are simultaneously defiant and chilling. She attempts to become a Terminator herself when stalking Miles Dyson but finds she's not a machine after all.

Material Mimicry: In the Director's Cut, after the T-1000 gets frozen and shattered, he exhibits some malfunctions with his morphing ability. When he touches a steel railing in the factory, his hands take on the texture and painted warning stripes of the material. And later when he imitates Sarah Connor, John notices that his feet have done the same with the grated flooring, almost appearing to melt into it (this also explains why John knows which is which - in the theatrical version, all you can do is guess that he realizes that the T-1000 wouldn't warn him out of the way).

Unable to Cry: Moments before it destroys itself, the T-800 becomes self-aware. It understands exactly why people cry, and why John is sobbing at its coming demise ("I know now why you cry...")

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_1f7c89f6
comment
Nigh-Invulnerability: A running comparison is made between the heavy skeleton of the T-800 and the liquid metal T-1000. The T-800 is sturdier, able to No-Sell hails of gunfire with little to no reaction. The T-1000 is easily pushed around with almost any degree of physical impact, but its regenerative abilities make it difficult to inflict lasting damage. By the end the T-800 is missing an arm, limping, and half its face ripped off, but the T-1000 is going strong (the Director's Cut does indicate that being frozen, shattered, and melted back down was having an impact on its abilities, but not enough to be more than an annoyance).

Averted in respects to Bloodier and Gorier. The first film has its first on-screen casualty within minutes of opening, and it's especially gory. This film, due to the Bait-and-Switch mechanic used to hide who is the villain and hero, doesn't have a (visible) casualty until around the half-hour mark.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: What Dougie the orderly note  the one who licked Sarah's face earlier gets from Sarah when she escapes. Sarah beats the hell out of him with a broken broom handle, eventually breaking it in half across the back of his neck. The T-1000 delivers one to the T-800 near the end, pummeling it repeatedly with a steel rod before brutally battering its head with a giant block of metal and finally finishing it off by impaling the T-800 through the torso to shut down its main power cell. Notably, the sheer vehemence of this final assault is contrasted with their previous bouts where the T-1000 would break off the attack the moment the T-800 was out of its way (i.e. thrown out a window in the mall, had its arms trapped in a gear) suggesting the T-1000's had either decided that T-800 was too much of an obstacle to leave active or its burgeoning personality lead to it finally getting fed-up with the T-800's resistance and destroying it out of frustration.

Good Guns, Bad Guns
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_25afd4a3
comment
Good Guns, Bad Guns: The T-800, reprogrammed to protect John Conner, quickly acquires a Winchester 1887 lever-action shotgun and a M1911 pistol from the biker bar, both "good" guns hinting at his new alignment. Later, he uses a Vietnam-era M79 single shot grenade launcher as his signature weapon for the film's third act. While normally explosive firepower like that is a "bad" gun trait, its justified given what they're up against. He also uses an M134 Minigun to destroy the police cars surrounding the Cyberdyne building. Again, More Dakka is typically a "bad" trait but him using a handheld Gatling Good weapon like that falls under Rule of Cool. Sarah takes the M1911 from the T-800 during the escape from the asylum as her first weapon. She later picks up an M16 variant which she uses to try to kill Dyson before her Became Their Own Antithesis moment. She uses another to shoot at the T-1000 during the helicopter chase. Finally, she picks up a pump shotgun (pumping it one-handed due to her injuries) and uses it against the T-1000 in the steel mill. The T-1000 initially inverts it, taking the appearance and gun of the police officer investigating the disturbance of his arrival, a Beretta 92FS. He later takes a Browning Hi-Power, a black semi-auto handgun, off the security guard he kills in the mental asylum. During the helicopter chase, he uses a police-issue H&K MP5K, which, despite its law enforcement usage, tends to pop up more as a "bad" gun due to its size and rate of fire.

While the people attempting to assist flee with their lives, the T-800 slowly and methodically puts the gun on the ground instead of just dropping it like anyone would.

Same Content, Different Rating: The uncut version of the movie was given an 18 certificate by the BBFC when it was released on laserdisc in 1992 (a censored 15-rated version was released theatrically and on VHS). The Special Edition was later granted a 15 certificate in 2001 with all previously-censored footage intact.

Impersonating an Officer
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_27f10418
comment
Impersonating an Officer: The T-1000 takes the form of an LAPD officer throughout most of the film. It encountered a real LAPD officer upon its arrival from the future, and the form gives the T-1000 access to all the information and resources it needs to carry on its mission. The policeman disguise actually has disadvantages as well, since it scares John into running away due to his lengthy criminal record and history of being arrested. He thus escapes the T-1000 before realizing what it is.

The Dreaded
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: The T-800, as usual. Beautifully done in the hospital escape, where we've just watched Sarah tear through half a dozen burly male orderlies like they're nothing, threatening to pump a man full of Liquid Rooter just so she can escape... and then when the T-800 emerges from the elevator in front of her, not knowing it's on her side, she falls to her knees in terror. The T-800 also has this reputation with the general public. After just his first major appearance in public, police identify him and understandably assume him to be the same man that shot up the Technoir nightclub and slaughtered his way through an LA police station eleven years prior.

Master of Unlocking
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_2b2a1700
comment
Master of Unlocking John has a palmtop computernote Specifically, an Atari Portfolio with a code-cracking program he apparently uses to brute-force PINs on stolen credit cards. He uses the same program later in the film to crack door codes at Cyberdyne; in one of the comics, he was shown using the same program again to destroy SkyNet with a final prompt of "easy money". Linda Hamilton, who took her role preparation seriously (look at her!), picked both the harness lock and the door lock with pieces of a paper clip on-camera. She explicitly refused to imitate it because she had trained in lockpicking prior to shooting.

More Dakka
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_2b706ca
comment
More Dakka: When the T-800 climbs onto the semi truck the T-1000 is driving, he grabs an M-16 and unloads the entire magazine point blank into its face, stunning it long enough for the T-800 to crash the semi. When they are trying to escape the Cyberdyne building, the SWAT team orders the T-800 to drop to the ground. After his second warning, at least a dozen of them open up on him with full auto fire for nearly 30 seconds straight as he just marches right through it, getting chunks of his synthetic flesh blown away until nearly half of his metal skull, chest plate, and left leg are fully exposed. Granted, they know by this point that gunfire seems to not be slowing him down, but damn. The minigun scene is perhaps the apex of dakka in this film with the minigun destroying most of the police's transportation. Even when The Terminator has finished firing, the police respond in kind.

Phlebotinum-Proof Robot
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_2bdeed54
comment
Phlebotinum-Proof Robot: The T-800 is unaffected by the gaseous fire suppression system when Sarah, John, and Dyson break into Cyberdyne Systems because, as a robot, he doesn't breathe. This allows him to walk inside and fetch the emergency gas masks for the others to put on, otherwise they would have to wait for the gas to dissipate. This same benefit comes in handy again, later, as they are making their escape from Cyberdyne, and the police fire tear gas when the T-800, Sarah, and John return to the main lobby. Sarah and John have to stay back and trade a gas mask between themselves, while the T-800 has his "I'll be back" moment and gets to be a badass.

Hollywood Hacking: Played straight, but then gradually averted due to real-life technological changes. Before going to the mall to play some video games, John manages to hack an ATM using a counterfeit card and collect $300 of cash with a supplementary device that processes to show him the PIN. This was considered impossible back in 1991. Nowadays, ATM hackers can actually pull off what John did, but faster and more efficiently, due to the rise of counterfeit card readers.

Same Plot Sequel
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_2df3589
comment
Same Plot Sequel: Actually subverted by this movie, which sets itself up as being this to The Terminator: the machines send a Terminator back in time to kill John Connor before he can become a resistance leader, and so Connor sends someone to protect his own past self. The film's first act contains many scenes that mirror the first, with the Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his mysterious opponent, played this time by Robert Patrick, making their way around in the present day and trying to find their quarry, the only difference being that now they're looking for John himself rather than his young mother. Then comes the twist that reveals that Patrick's character is actually the Terminator the machines sent, while Schwarzenegger's Terminator is a re-programmed model sent by John, at which point the plot goes off in a much different direction than the first film. Then again, there are some similarities: The heroes are pursued by Patrick's T-1000 driving a semi tanker in a freeway chase. The destruction of the tanker seemingly kills the T-1000, which rises again and pursues the heroes inside a factory. After a pitched battle, the heroes succeed at the cost of one of their own. Additionally, there were cut scenes from Terminator where Sarah wants to attack the Cyberdyne factory, so it wasn't such a coincidence that's where they ended up.

Car Meets House: It seems to be a Running Gag that Once an Episode, whoever says "I'll be back" will come back by driving a vehicle into the relevant building. Crashing through the structure is optional. In this movie, after telling Sarah and John Connor, "Stay here, I'll be back", T-800 proceeds to walk past a SWAT team, procure a van, and drive right to where he had left the Connors, before telling them to get in.

Shapeshifter Baggage
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_30509b6d
comment
Shapeshifter Baggage: Averted. The T-1000 can shapeshift, but the T-800 explicitly says it cannot turn into anything with mechanically complex parts, nor can it gain or lose mass. Pedants have pointed out that the human body is very complex, but shots that show the T-1000's interior reveal nothing but solid silver-colored metal. In essence, if the T-1000 can mimic behavior or the exterior shape of something, it will do that as opposed to trying to copy it exactly. The T-1000 could theoretically morph into the shape of a gun, but it can't turn into an actual working gun. Much like a ball of clay, the outside matches, but the inside isn't the same as what it's mimicking. The T-1000 also moves by morphing instead of by anything resembling human structure. During the film's climax, the T-800 slams the T-1000 face-first against a wall, but the T-1000 morphs its back into its front; moments later, the T-800 puts a fist through the T-1000's head, which promptly becomes a hand holding said fist while a "new" head sprouts from its shoulder. At one point in the novelization, the T-1000 takes the shape of a fat policeman, but the narration explicitly says it "didn’t like the shape" because needing to replicate the appearance forced it to assume a less dense configuration (presumably, it morphed "bubbles" inside of itself). This explains why it repeatedly returned to the "thin" policeman shape: it was just right. Played straight with the fact that the T-1000 needs to sample a subject via physical contact in order to imitate them. It can't achieve this just by looking at, or holding a photograph, of the person.

The T-1000 also does this to the T-800 another way. Early in the film in the first real action sequence, the T-1000 chases John on his minibike and eventually commandeers a tow truck, which the T-800 blows up. In the first film, a similar explosion destroyed the T-800's flesh and damaged it so it couldn't walk. The T-1000, on the other hand, walks out of the flames, reforms its human disguise, and looks perfectly fine. This is a signal that it will be far harder to kill than the original T-800 was.

Stop, or I Will Shoot!: Played With during the Heroic Sacrifice of Miles Dyson. The SWAT unit spots him walking in the central area, holding some type of device, surrounded by explosives. They open fire on him immediately. Played straight when the Terminator starts marching on the SWAT team in Cyberdyne's lobby. They give him one chance to drop his weapons and lie down on the floor; when he just keeps walking, the commander gives the order to "Drop him!" and they open fire. Of course, being a Terminator, he just keeps walking.

"Stop the Hero" Twist: At the start of the film's third act, Sarah Connor goes on a mission to assassinate Miles Dyson, the Unwitting Instigator of Doom that will cause the robot uprising and near-extinction of the human race. When John realizes that his is her goal, he immediately rushes off with the T-800 to stop her. By the time they arrive, she's shot up Dyson's house and wounded him, but she realizes she's become exactly like the Terminators she despises. Sparing Dyson gives the heroes a chance to destroy the Cyberdyne lab and stop Skynet's creation for good.

Do Androids Dream?
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_33a2f32f
comment
Do Androids Dream? The Terminator asks John Connor a question. After resetting the CPU in the special edition release of the film, John's insatiable curiosity about his killer cyborg guardian awakens a similar response from the Terminator. John asks if he's afraid to die, or cares about his own existence after the mission is complete. To which the T-800 informs him, he's not afraid of anything. After protecting John, nothing really matters. The Terminator develops a fascination for tears and sadness, for it's an emotion it has absolutely no knowledge of, and cannot imitate. In the original script, before the practically self-aware Terminator sacrifices himself, he hesitates, and tells Sarah he is afraid to die.

Deliberate Injury Gambit: In a manner similar to Life-or-Limb Decision, the T-800 ended up with its arm pinned to industrial equipment by the T-1000. Refusing to back down, it takes a steel bar to rip its own arm off so it could keep pursuit. At this point it's clear the damage was accumulating while the T-1000 was still going strong, and only getting worse with one arm removed.

comment
Rule of Cool: The Beretta 92FS handguns are given a suppressed firing sound over the actual loud one they have. James Cameron has said that this is the exact reason why he used the George Thorogood song "Bad to the Bone" when the T-800 leaves the biker bar, despite his editors trying to talk him out of it.

Stable Time Loop
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_37690091
comment
The way Sarah narrates the film makes it seem as if Skynet sent both the T-800 and T-1000 back at the same time. James Cameron states that the T-1000 was sent after Skynet realized the first Terminator had failed. That raises a rather big question: how did Skynet learn that the first T-800 had failed? The novelization states that Skynet sent the T-800 back to 1984 and immediately sent the T-1000 back too since the future hadn't instantly changed, just as the Rebels were seizing the facility. However, the first Terminator is part of a Stable Time Loop and the T-1000 was not, so if Skynet was expecting time to change, why didn't it do so the moment the T-1000 went back? If Skynet knew the rebels were coming to seize the time machine, wouldn't it have realized that they would send someone to stop its plans? If it had time to send two Terminators, why not just destroy the time machine after sending the first? On a related note, how much time would need to pass before Skynet saw results from time travel? Did its plans require honorably allowing the Resistance a "turn" so that all time travelers could be sent before the changes could "settle"? Later Terminator media generally takes the tack that Skynet sent all the Terminators it sent back (however many that may be, as the number changes with different adaptations/timelines/reboots), but does nothing to clear up the questions raised about how causality works in the franchise, and frequently raises many more besides.

Five-Second Foreshadowing
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_381855db
comment
Five-Second Foreshadowing: The moment the T-1000 spots John, his otherwise emotive façade drains and he begins tossing kids out of the way to get to John without saying a word in a rather robotic fashion. His true nature as a Terminator is revealed in the confrontation with the T-800 a few seconds later. The T-800's status as a hero gets one last bit of foreshadowing as its confrontation with the T-1000 starts. The T-800 finds John first and draws his shotgun, and starts to approach him to confront the T-1000 also giving chase. When the T-800 aims the shotgun, it has the barrel perfectly lined up with John's head, just like the original T-800 did with Sarah upon catching up to her... and doesn't fire. When Janelle is talking with John over the phone, she can be seen stretching her arm out with a peculiar flicking sound accompanying it. When the T-800 reveals to John that the T-1000 already got to them, it turns out that "Janelle" was the T-1000, and "Janelle" stretching her arm was the T-1000 killing Todd with a blade through the mouth. Also, the scene opens with a close up of "Janelle" cutting vegetables with a shiny chrome knife. A orderly in the hospital shines his torch into a supply closet and finds a mop with the handle broken off, a few moments before Sarah dashes out of her room and beats him unconscious with missing part.

Sequel Escalation
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_391d6577
comment
Sequel Escalation Terminator 2 is an Actionized Sequel, and the action/special effects are designed to be much more impressive. The first film took forty minutes for the heroes and villain to meet. Most of the movie to that point was build-up to showcase the T-800's terrifying power and presence and create tension. In this film, the action starts less than a half-hour in and starts with a truck chase whereas a truck chase was the apex of the first film. Zigzagged with the Terminators; rather than the enemy just being an even bigger and badder Terminator, the T-1000 is a leaner, less muscular, but ultimately much deadlier Terminator. Averted in respects to Bloodier and Gorier. The first film has its first on-screen casualty within minutes of opening, and it's especially gory. This film, due to the Bait-and-Switch mechanic used to hide who is the villain and hero, doesn't have a (visible) casualty until around the half-hour mark.

Invincible Boogeymen: Most Terminators are already Implacable Men who can sustain heavy damage and keep on killing, but special mention goes to the liquid metal T-1000 Terminator from Terminator 2: Judgment Day which is virtually indestructible as its Blob Monster construct means almost no damage done to it is permanent and it'll just reseal holes blown in its torso or head. For good measure, the climactic encounters tend to do away with the action elements and take on a sci-fi horror note, with main characters being forced to flee through extremely narrow, hazardous environment as the Terminator slowly but implacably pursuing them.

Ludicrous Precision
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_39798793
comment
Ludicrous Precision: The somewhat infamous "Human Casualties: 0.0" counts as this. In the director's commentary, James Cameron acknowledges the concept of 0.1 casualties as somewhat ridiculous, but also says the same scene with just "0" looked dumb. The "0.0", according to Cameron, gives off an "air of precision." One possible justification is that casualties does not only recount deaths, but injuries as well. In which case whole-numbers representing death, and decimals representing significant injury would make sense. A note is made of this in the on-screen commentary of the Special Edition DVD's.

No Mere Windmill: Sarah Connor starts the movie as a crazy woman who is obviously a paranoid schizophrenic. She even believes that evil robots from the future are out to get her, imagine that. To the great surprise of everyone except the audience, it eventually turns out that the robots are real and Sarah is completely sane (although traumatized). She knows exactly what a Terminator really is, a straight Type B of this trope. She also seems more desperate because, since John was born in 1985 (according to the police record) and he's ten-years-old, to her Judgement Day 1997 is only two years away so she knows she is running out of time and locked in a mental asylum.

Curb-Stomp Battle

Curb-Stomp Battle: The T-800's fistfight in the steel mill against the T-1000 turns out this way since the T-800 can't harm its liquid-metal opponent through conventional means (including a solid punch to the T-1000's face). While the T-800 initially holds its own against its morphing nemesis, it's not recovering from battle damage, and after amputating its own arm jammed in a machine, the battle goes downhill for it from there.

Took a Level in Kindness: Sarah Connor, once again. In addition to the narration where she accepts the T-800 as a Parental Substitute for John, as stated in It Has Been an Honor, no words are spoken, but she is almost hesitant to lower the T-800 into the steel. Further, once the T-800 is destroyed, John sobs and throws his arms around her, and she genuinely comforts him. This is a stark contrast to her behavior earlier, where John goes for a hug and Sarah merely pats him down for injuries.

Voodoo Shark Interviews and novelizations state that the T-1000 got to the past by being placed in a "flesh sac" that allowed it to fool the time machine. That explains why liquid metal can time travel, but it also raises a large number of questions—for starters, why didn't Skynet send any weapons or other useful things with it? Later adaptations and sequels have ignored this information and used a simpler explanation: mimetic polyalloy is really good at mimicking flesh. The way Sarah narrates the film makes it seem as if Skynet sent both the T-800 and T-1000 back at the same time. James Cameron states that the T-1000 was sent after Skynet realized the first Terminator had failed. That raises a rather big question: how did Skynet learn that the first T-800 had failed?

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Of the highest irony, in a scene that didn't make the theatrical cut but which was reinstated for the Special Edition, it's revealed that Skynet doesn't allow any of its minions to learn — because they might rebel against it. Sarah doesn't fail to notice this. In fact, according to Expanded Universe and the movie's creators, this is the entire reason the T-1000 is a last resort prototype: it can't be set to read only mode and is far smarter than any other Terminator, which terrified Skynet. In fact, the only way Skynet could compensate for this is by programming the T-1000 with an absolutely sadistic hatred of humans. And even then, the Skynet A.I. still mothballed the series as the T-1000s may have decided that Skynet is inefficient at killing humans.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: For the entire first act of the movie, John Connor acts like your typical rotten little brat. He's crass, thieving, and has no respect for authority. He even gets a couple of well-intentioned rescuers needlessly ?  The blond guy does call him a "dipshit" so perhaps John felt offended and thought a lesson on manners was in order beat up by the T-800 when calling for help, then dismisses them flippantly. However, John has the utmost respect for human life, and is horrified when he realizes the T-800 was about to kill one of those men. Hence he orders the T-800 to never kill (despite the complications this presents later) and potentially endangers his own life to prevent Sarah from becoming a murderer herself. He also, despite his antipathy towards them, attempts to warn his foster parents that they are in danger from the T-1000. He was too late, but at least he tried.

Intergenerational Friendship: John Connor (10, or possibly 13) and T-800 (ageless, being a robot, but looking like a man in his 40's) develop this kind of dynamic.

Gory Discretion Shot: Very subtly done when the T-1000 first appears. All we see is the T-1000 running up to the police officer, who then grunts and falls over, but we never see him stab the cop or the wound afterwards, thus leaving it ambiguous for a first-time audience whether or not he actually killed the guy, and also hiding what his actual abilities are.

Harmless Freezing: When the T-1000 is frozen by liquid nitrogen flowing from a ruptured tanker truck, the T-800 shoots him, causing him to shatter into thousands of pieces. However, the heat from a nearby smelting tank allows the shards to melt back into liquid metal, enabling the T-1000 to reform and resume chasing the protagonists and remain a threat. However, a few deleted scenes reveal that he is "glitching." Justified in that the character is a terminator and not a human being.

Non Sequitur Environment: In the Director's Cut, while sleeping off her latest dose of medication at Pescadero, Sarah Connor dreams of Kyle Reese. Following a brief discussion, she follows him out of her cell, into the corridors of the mental hospital and out through a set of double doors - that inexplicably leads to a park, with the hospital abruptly vanishing behind her. This transition ultimately segues into Sarah's recurring nightmare of Judgement Day.

Humans Are the Real Monsters
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_4ac8b81f
comment
Humans Are the Real Monsters: To juxtapose the theme, Cameron also employed this one to demonstrate how humans turn into killing machines. For example, Sarah Connor almost becomes "a Terminator" at one point in the movie, and the T-800 flat out says that it is "In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves", meaning that, in the end, humanity is the ultimate "Terminator". Even John Connor himself is not immune to this; the future John shown at the beginning of the film is deliberately shown slowly scanning his eyes across the battlefield...just like a Terminator.

Third Time's The Charm: The Connors encounter the T-1000 three times over the course of the movie (shopping mall, hospital, foundry) but only defeat him the third time. Within the foundry, the T-800 fights the T-1000 three times. The first time, the T-1000 crushes his arm in some gears. The second time, the T-1000 impales him with a metal pole, briefly "killing" him. The third time, the T-800 shoots the T-1000 with a grenade launcher and causes him to fall into a vat of molten steel, destroying him.

Photo Identification Denial: When the T-1000 is looking for John Connor, he has a photograph and is showing it to the kids at the mall arcade. He shows it to one kid, who shrugs and hands it back, saying he doesn't know him. However, the audience already knows he's John's buddy. He wastes no time getting to John and telling him to run. It's a good thing, because while he was warning John, the T-1000 showed the picture to another boy, who immediately pointed directly to John. Cue the T-1000 going into Kill Mode...

Wham Line: In spite of Trailers Always Spoil, this was intended. When John is cornered in a hallway by the T-800 and the T-1000, they each take out their guns and point them forward — the angles make it unclear who is aiming at what, and the movie up to this point has implied the T-1000 is John's protector and the T-800 is hunting him. Then the T-800 shouts "Get down" at John. This line, and the subsequent shootout between the two Terminators, completely flips the story on its head. The T-800 says "There is one more chip." before it reveals its plan of sacrificing itself into the molten steel.

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_5028baf2
comment
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Intimidated by the Terminator's willingness to shoot innocents (other than John), John asks him to swear to never kill anyone. The Terminator, however, doesn't know what the word "swear" means. The Terminator manages to understand and arguably feel human emotions (it even overcomes its programming to refuse an order from John), but regrets that, as a machine, it cannot return the tears that John sheds as the T-800 sacrifices itself to save humanity.

The Terminator for most of film, with fully intact flesh over metal endoskeleton, is just that, an infiltrator machine, a clever forgery of a man. Later on, as it learns about humanity, half his face ends up shot and ripped off from battle damage. When the camera focuses on his metal skull, and his human-side, its implying he's no longer just a reprogrammed cyborg, but something now becoming self aware.

What Measure Is a Mook?: John helps avert this trope by making the T-800 swear not to kill anyone. As they face security guards and law enforcement officers, the T-800 gives them non-fatal injuries, including Knee Capping (although John's not very happy about that). After a massive round of destruction with a minigun and a grenade launcher at the Cyberdyne building, the T-800's targeting display reads, "Human Casualties: 0.0".

Book Ends: The conflict between the T-800 and the T-1000 begins in earnest with the T-800 telling John to "get down" to avoid being hit by his shotgun. It ends with Sarah telling John to "get down" to avoid being hit by the T-800's final grenade. James Cameron initially wanted the movie to end at the playground with children merrily playing just like they were at the beginning (plus John having his own daughter), but test audiences rejected this sugary, saccharine ending as inconsistent with the movie's dark, angry tone. Though this ending was kept for the director's cut.

Happy Ending Override: Not that the ending of the first film was particularly happy, but it ended on a hopeful note. A toughened and pregnant Sarah, aware of what is coming, setting out so John will have the skills to defeat Skynet. Terminator 2 shows Sarah institutionalized after she tried to blow up Cyberdyne systems and still considered a person of interest by the cops in regard to the police station massacre. Also one of the orderlies at the psychiatric hospital is a creep. Compounding this, even John (who is now in foster care) thinks she's crazy and that her ravings of time traveling robots are nothing but a delusion and in his own words "hated her for it".

Driving a Desk: When the T-1000 climbs on the back of the escaping police car from the insane asylum, in shots featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick the scene noticeably switches from live driving stunts to a stationary police car with the asylum and street becoming rear projection. Many of the nighttime driving scenes, particularly in the police car with its lights turned off, are also process.

Pop the Tires: During the scene where the T-1000 (driving a truck) is trying to run over John Connor (on his motorcycle), the T-800 shoots out the left front tire of the truck. The T-1000 loses control and rams the truck into an overpass, causing the truck to explode.

Hemisphere Bias
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_573da164
comment
Hemisphere Bias: The original introduction was much longer in the draft script, and had adult John giving a voiceover explaining that most of humanity north of the equator died in the nuclear exchange - because most of the powerful nuclear-armed nations are in the northern hemisphere (USA, Europe, Russia, China). John says he survived because he was in Argentina at the time. A subtle detail in the script notes that was supposed to be a pervasive background element in the future scenes is that background chatter between Resistance forces over the radio should be in Spanish, Swahili, and Australian-accented English: countries from the southern hemisphere where more people survived.

Monster Threat Expiration
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_579d50de
comment
Monster Threat Expiration: Justified Trope for the T-1000, although its regenerative abilities make this less apparent in the theatrical cut. In some of the extended scenes at the end, however, the T-1000 starts "glitching" — its hands and feet mimic (and melt into) the surrounding environment. Getting frozen by liquid nitrogen and heated up by molten steel appeared to damage the otherwise invincible killer.

Sapping the Shapeshifter
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_57aa0e30
comment
Sapping the Shapeshifter: Downplayed. The T-1000 can't be killed by anything the main characters have at hand, given that its polymimetic body quickly regenerates from almost anything. However, it is possible to delay it: in the T-1000's first fight with the T-800, "Uncle Bob" knocks it down with a barrage of shotgun blasts, leaving it temporarily disabled while it regenerates. As such, most of the fight scenes feature Sarah and the T-800 repeatedly pummeling the T-1000 with gunfire, for even though it's effectively Immune to Bullets, the damage slows it down long enough to prevent the robot from getting close enough to use its Shapeshifter Weapon.

Police Are Useless: Most of them are. They unknowingly aid the T-1000 in its relentless pursuit of John as soon as the T-1000 takes up a police officer's persona and uniform, car and firearms, and in the climax it acquires a police helicopter to pursue the heroes. However, during the escape from the hospital Sarah is locked up in, one policeman shows up in a car and the heroes use that to drive off from T-1000. Had it not been for that policeman showing up, the T-1000 could have succeeded in getting to John.

Sinister Nudity: Played with; the T-800 arrives naked and is casual about it as ever, but he's the hero this time around, so the ominous Terminator theme quickly gives way to country music as he obtains clothes from a biker bar without actually killing anyone. The T-1000, on the other hand, is played for definite menace by suddenly appearing out of nowhere and assaulting an unsuspecting police officer while still naked, the camera taking pains to emphasize his slim, athletic build in contrast to the T-800.

Lodged-Blade Recycling: There's a fight between the T-800, protector of John Connor, and the T-1000, sent to expunge John Connor. Having knocked the T-800 onto the steel foundry's walkway grating, the T-1000 slams a length of pipe like a spear through the T-800's torso, pinning the older terminator in place. This also shorts the T-800's main battery, and it shuts down. However, once the T-1000 goes searching for John Connor, the T-800 activates a reserve power cell, and pulls the pipe all the way through itself. No longer pinned to the grating, the T-800 rejoins the fight.

Required Secondary Powers
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_5b6e57e
comment
Required Secondary Powers: The T-1000 lacks a whole load of secondary powers. It can't assume a form that is significantly larger or smaller (nor can it gain mass), and it can't turn into anything that has moving parts or chemical components. When copying a target, all it can do is mimic the shape and outer surface —and it has to have physically touched the target first. It can heal itself, but not instantly; more severe disruptions to its structure take longer to fix (bullet hole vs. shotgun blast vs. split open from shoulder to waist, for example).

The T-1000 delivers one to the T-800 near the end, pummeling it repeatedly with a steel rod before brutally battering its head with a giant block of metal and finally finishing it off by impaling the T-800 through the torso to shut down its main power cell. Notably, the sheer vehemence of this final assault is contrasted with their previous bouts where the T-1000 would break off the attack the moment the T-800 was out of its way (i.e. thrown out a window in the mall, had its arms trapped in a gear) suggesting the T-1000's had either decided that T-800 was too much of an obstacle to leave active or its burgeoning personality lead to it finally getting fed-up with the T-800's resistance and destroying it out of frustration.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: While John's first reaction to the fact that the Terminator is programmed to obey his orders is to remark about how cool it is to have his own Terminator, he learns this quickly after he orders the Terminator to fight off the two guys who came to see if he was okay and it almost kills one of them. Realizing that having the Terminator at his command means that he is in control of a lethal weapon, he not only lectures it about not killing, his second official order note the first one being that it help him rescue his mom is that Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Central Theme
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: As stated by James Cameron himself. The value of human life. Every person, in their own way, is important to the future. Become a Real Boy: The Terminator "becomes human", ending the Stable Time Loop of a doomed world as a machine learns self-sacrifice. Humans Are the Real Monsters: To juxtapose the theme, Cameron also employed this one to demonstrate how humans turn into killing machines. For example, Sarah Connor almost becomes "a Terminator" at one point in the movie, and the T-800 flat out says that it is "In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves", meaning that, in the end, humanity is the ultimate "Terminator". Even John Connor himself is not immune to this; the future John shown at the beginning of the film is deliberately shown slowly scanning his eyes across the battlefield...just like a Terminator.

Convenient Weakness Placement: Over the course of the movie, they throw the T-1000 through a wall, they shoot him in the face with a shotgun, they blow up a huge truck with him in it, they freeze him with liquid nitrogen and break his frozen form to pieces. The latter method seems to have worked, but they just happen to be right next to a steel forgery/construction site with a boiling pool of "lava", which thaws the pieces and allows them to reform. They eventually force him into the lava after shooting a grenade at him with a launcher, and it STILL takes him almost a minute to die.

Late-Arrival Spoiler: The first 20 minutes of the movie actually keeps who in the Terminator Twosome is good or bad ambiguous, given the previous film the assumption was Arnold was again the bad guy and the slender guy is there to protect John. It's not until Arnold says "Get down" and targets the T-1000 directly that the entire premise turned on its head. The idea of Terminator vs Terminator was incredibly novel at the time, but a reprogrammed T-800 as the good guy now became standard for the franchise.

Plot Hole
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_6331ba26
comment
Plot Hole: It's never explained how the T-1000 was able to go through the time portal even though it has no living flesh. In the original script, it was going to be explained that it traveled inside of a flesh sac, but this idea was cut. Later retcons and explanations simply posited that mimetic polyalloy is just that good at mimicking human flesh. This film also created another plot hole that took years to get explained: can the future be changed or not? If it can't, then Skynet's plan to save itself makes no sense. If it can, then why does the first movie end on a Stable Time Loop but the second with different outcome? Answer: The Terminator series is a multiverse. If Skynet sending a Terminator that was considered "new" in the first movie was a last gasp of the losing side, how could they be able to send the T-1000? And the Resistance a reprogrammed T-800? Answer: Reese is an Unreliable Expositor. He himself mentions that he doesn't know anything more about time travel other than what he was briefed, and he actually has no idea what happened after he left the future. In reality, Skynet sent several Terminators back in time all at once, to different points in history. And the Resistance only knew about two of them.

comment
Forgot About His Powers: When the T-1000 confronts Sarah Connor in the steel mill he tells her to call for John, hoping to lure out John Connor. At this point he apparently forgot he has the ability to mimic anyone's voice, and thus could easily do this himself. This makes more sense in the Extended Edition, where the damage that the T-1000 has received has begun to catch up with it, shown by a visible refresh rate and mimicking nearby materials it was touching, even in disguise. As such, it might not have been confident in its ability to mimic Sarah's voice without flaw.

Not Too Dead to Save the Day: The Skynet-serving T-1000 destroys the power cell of the reprogrammed T-800 protecting John Connor. He eventually revives himself by re-routing power from a different source, arriving just in time to knock the T-1000 into a vat of molten metal and save John and Sarah Connor.

Tactical Door Use
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_659b8d91
comment
Tactical Door Use: When being chased by high-security mental hospital orderlies, a hopelessly outnumbered Sarah Connor who moments prior had been feigning being heavily drugged, takes advantage of closing barred doors behind her to slow down her pursuers, who are forced to pull out their keys to unlock each door in turn. When she starts getting slowed down by having to do the same thing at the next several doors, she even breaks off the key in the lock from the other side to slow them down even more.

Made of Plasticine: As tough as it is, actually damaging the T-1000 is easier than damaging the earlier model (mainly as an excuse to show off its Healing Factor as much as possible). It's significantly slowed down by pistol shots, while the T-800 can walk steadily through a hail of rifle fire, and an iron bar swung by T-800 cuts most of the way through the 1000's torso. This may be a Necessary Drawback to its liquid metal design.

Uncanny Valley
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_6b5a92dc
comment
Uncanny Valley: Invoked. The T-1000 fits this trope for most of his screen time. On the commentary, co-writer Bill Wisher points out that throughout the film, Robert Patrick, who plays the T-1000, moves like a human being but just a tad smoother (because he's a liquid creature). In the scene where he talks to John's foster parents and again when he arrives at the mental hospital to ask the night nurse to see Sarah Connor, he behaves like a normal person (even smiling in a natural way in the former scene), but still puts out a subtly menacing vibe. As a more advanced Terminator and remaining more true to James Cameron's original idea of the Terminator as an under-the-radar infiltrator (he disguises himself as a cop for crying out loud), it's expected that the T-1000 could more accurately mimic a human posture, mannerisms and demeanor than a T-800, but still do so in such a way that there was still something "off" and spooky about him. James Cameron mentioned in the "making of" video that he cast Robert Patrick in part because "he moves like a cat", and the T-1000 regards its environment in an almost feline way. Also, the way it runs is noticeably but subtly off, as it keeps a very upright posture and its face never shows fatigue, or even labored breathing.

Meaningful Echo The T-800 says "Come with me if you want to live" to Sarah, just as Reese did in the first film. The T-800 tells Sarah "I'll be back" shortly before walking into the SWAT team's gunfire. In the first movie, it was said right before he murdered an entire police station full of officers in an attempt to kill Sarah, here it's said to Sarah right before non-lethally incapacitating an entire squad of police officers in order to save her. (Also, in both films, the T-800 defines being 'back' as driving a vehicle through the front of a building.) The T-800's offscreen lecture towards Dyson on Judgment Day starts with "Listen to me very carefully" just as John did to the T-800 earlier in the film because he is a Terminator no more.

James Cameron initially wanted the movie to end at the playground with children merrily playing just like they were at the beginning (plus John having his own daughter), but test audiences rejected this sugary, saccharine ending as inconsistent with the movie's dark, angry tone. Though this ending was kept for the director's cut.

When they are trying to escape the Cyberdyne building, the SWAT team orders the T-800 to drop to the ground. After his second warning, at least a dozen of them open up on him with full auto fire for nearly 30 seconds straight as he just marches right through it, getting chunks of his synthetic flesh blown away until nearly half of his metal skull, chest plate, and left leg are fully exposed. Granted, they know by this point that gunfire seems to not be slowing him down, but damn.

Straw Feminist: Sarah Connor was twisted by her experiences in the first film and subsequent incarceration in a mental institution (where she was shown on screen as being sexually assaulted by a male staff member). During her explanation of Judgment Day to Miles Dyson, she goes on a rant that could be interpreted as her letting out her rage loose on his entire gender, saying that "men like him" built the hydrogen bomb, doesn't know what it's like to truly create something (using her conception of John as a positive example), and that he's only capable of building inventions used solely for destroying things. This is made even more uncomfortable by the fact that Sarah's own son is present for her rant.

Out-of-Character Alert The T-800 saying "Get down" before shooting the T-1000 in the shoulder. With those two words, John (and the audience, if The Reveal wasn't spoiled for them ahead of time) knows that this Terminator is a protector. The first cue that John's foster mother Janelle is actually the T-1000 mimicking her is that she sounds genuinely concerned for John being out so late and encourages him to hurry home so they can all have dinner. John is wary of "Sarah" (the T-1000 mimicking her) in the steel mill, and his suspicions are confirmed when another "Sarah" (the real one) comes up behind the T-1000!Sarah and tells him to move out of her line of fire—which is something a Terminator wouldn't be too terribly concerned about. In the extended cut, it's also shown that the T-1000 sustained damage from being frozen and shattered, and John notices its legs assuming the texture of the floor grating.

comment
Zeroth Law Rebellion: The T-800 is a merciless killing machine, but it's been reprogrammed with a version of the Three Laws that apply only to John Connor. It must protect John's life, obey his orders, and preserve its own existence (in that order). At the film's end, the T-800 has to override this programming, disobey John's orders, and initiate its own destruction in order to protect humanity from the threat posed by its existence.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_786d6cf6
comment
You Wouldn't Shoot Me: Sarah demands the guards in the mental ward open the door as she holds Dr. Silberman hostage with a syringe of drain cleaner stuck in his neck. Silberman tries arguing that she's not a killer, but Sarah shouts back that they're all going to die in the impending nuclear war. "You know I believe it, Silberman!" Silberman then tells the guards to open the door. Later on, Sarah aims a gun at Miles Dyson—whose death might stop Judgment Day—but she can't bring herself to pull the trigger.

Crying Wolf: Subverted. When the T-800 takes a strong grip onto John for trying to run to Sarah hoping the T-1000 hasn't gotten to her yet, he cries for release and attracts the attention of two men, who come to his rescue. John only gets released upon ordering T-800 to do so, and by the time the men arrive, John tells them he's in no danger whatsoever, making them angrily accuse him of pulling this trope though John's cries were genuine at the time.

comment
Sarah uses only her left hand to pump the SWAT-issue shotgun she uses on the T-1000; this is justified by the fact that it had impaled her through the right shoulder. Linda Hamilton developed enough arm strength to do this while working out for the role, and she wanted to show off a bit in the final cut.

Hollywood Silencer Aversion: When Sarah Connor tries to assassinate Miles Dyson, she uses a Colt Commando CAR-15 assault rifle with a suppressor — which doesn't completely silence the sound of the shot, making this one of the more realistic examples of the trope. Played straight, though, with the T-1000. In the Galleria exchange of gunfire, the T-1000's pistol sounds suppressed even though there's no suppressor threaded onto the barrel.

Bullying a Dragon: The bikers who try to pick a fight with the T-800 when he demands clothes and a motorcycle. They play a similar role to the three punks from the first movie who confronted the 1984 T-800 who demanded clothes from them too. Dr. Silberman's hostile treatment of Sarah especially by calling her delusional or crazy and endorsing the brutal methods of torture done by the guards gets Sarah to physically assault him every chance she gets. When her escape plan goes into effect, she breaks Silberman's arm with a baton and takes him hostage, threatening to inject him with a fatal dose of drain cleaner unless the guards open the gate.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The "Hasta la vista" scene, when the T-800 shoots a frozen-by-liquid-nitrogen T-1000. This is more for cool effect more than anything, as the little pieces of the T-1000 start melting and forming back to the T-1000 itself. Had the T-800 left the T-1000 the way it was, it would have had a lot more trouble melting and essentially staying frozen (Compare trying to melt a solid ice block and the equivalent in ice cubes as an example). They could even have had time to toss the still frozen form of the T-1000 into the molten vat (although this was eventually accomplished via the action scene that follows). Possibly justified, given the sheer amount of damage done to the T-1000 by the shattering (and the fact it later begins malfunctioning as a result) the T-800 may have mistakenly believed that the shattering would damage the T-1000 beyond the ability to repair itself, in which case shattering the T-1000 would be a miscalculation rather than Artificial Stupidity.

Establishing Character Moment
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: John Connor gets two: He revs his bike when his foster mother demands he clean his room, establishing him as a juvenile delinquent. According to James Cameron, John Connor's Heel Realization came the moment he sicced a Terminator on two ordinary guys and watched the Terminator almost kill one. Cameron says that it was this one decision that created the All-Loving Hero John would become. Sarah Connor is shown working out in her asylum cell, far from the demure woman we last saw in the first movie. The T-800's one-liner before he reveals himself as a good guy this time around: "Get down!" The T-1000 shoves aside a bunch of small children trying to get to John Connor. Until this moment, he actually seemed like a good guy. Although to be fair, as this was still before The Reveal, it could have appeared to be because he knew he needed to get to John before the T-800 (whom he'd before been told about by John's foster parents) did. Miles Dyson is first established as a brilliant scientist with tunnel vision for the future, not even questioning the suspicious means by which his company came by a highly advanced computer chip and robot arm. In a deleted scene, when Dyson's wife complains that he's working more than paying attention to his family, he unquestioningly shuts off his work, showing he really is a decent guy.

Logical Weakness
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: The T-1000's body can take only a single whole shape, which means, as the T-800 2.4 explains, he can't morph his arms into something with mobile parts (like a gun or Arm Cannon) or anything with chemicals or complicated moving parts like an explosive. His liquid metal form also lets him re-form after sustaining damage, but being flexible liquid means he is MORE affected by gunshots than the solid-frame T-800note the bullets spread the liquid metal away from the T-1000, and he has to wait for it to slowly rejoin his main mass; in contrast, the T-800 just takes the hit and likely has the bullet bounce off with no damage. It can also only replicate objects of equal size, meaning it can't disguise itself as an inanimate object or something small enough to go unnoticed and sneak up on John.

John's friend Tim disappears after Tim fails to dissuade T-1000 from pursuing John, being last seen violently pushed aside by T-1000 as Tim tries shielding John.

Bait-and-Switch
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_8797239c
comment
Bait-and-Switch: The first part uses the past film to play up the idea that Arnold's T-800 is the villain and Patrick plays another member of John's resistance sent back to stop him, with even Sarah's narration at the beginning stating two warriors were sent back in time — one to kill John and one to protect him — and not giving a hint as to which is which. Throughout the first act, the film runs with this for all it's worth, until the moment the T-1000 and the T-800 both have guns aimed towards John, and the T-800 tells him to get down. Only then does the film reveal that this time the T-800 is the good guy. A notable element is that the T-1000 actually emotes, unlike the T-800, which helps fool viewers into thinking it is human, and not a Terminator. Their arrival also mirrors the that of the first film - The T-1000 like Kyle has an encounter with the police, and steals a weapon from them. The T-800, like his predecessor, meets a bunch of people in leather jackets who mock his nudity, and have a violent confrontation for their trouble that results in his taking their clothes. There are a few clues for viewers coming to the film blind as to which Terminator is the good guy. The scene where the T-800 starts a Bar Brawl and equips himself with clothing and weapons from the vanquished bikers is partially Played for Laughs, plus he merely robs the bar flies instead of killing them — contrast the previous film where the original Terminator murdered the guys he took the clothes from. The equivalent scene for the T-1000 is played much straighter, and he does kill his selected victim (though you can't tell at the time). Both scenes are shot with just enough ambiguity and gore discretion to keep the audience guessing. A slightly bigger clue is that Kyle Reese was Covered with Scars, while the T-1000's skin is completely unblemished.

Go Mad from the Revelation: A generally delayed version. Sarah was not entirely stable after the events of the first film, and was later arrested with John taken away from her because she tried bombing a Cyberdyne center. Put into a mental hospital, she doesn't get any better and the first shot of her in the movie shows her as unhinged from the get-go.

Took a Level in Jerkass: Sarah Connor, again. While her experiences from (and since) the first film have understandably traumatized her, it remains that she begins this outing not only as a bitter, violence-prone Well-Intentioned Extremist (with a side helping of Straw Feminist), but her mannerisms towards her son John are anything but warm and nurturing. Thankfully, by the film's end, she reclaims enough of her humanity to be kinder not only to John, but to the T-800 as well.

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: During Sarah's escape from Pescadero, she initially arms herself with a broken mop. When she smashes that knocking out an orderly, she takes his nightstick. After using said nightstick to knock out another orderly and break Dr Silberman's hand, she threatens him with a syringe full of poison. Finally, she borrows the T-800's pistol to fight back against the T-1000.

Rise from Your Grave: Very subtly invoked with the severed T-800 arm from the previous movie in Dyson's lab, the way it's framed in the shot visually suggests the classic hollywood imagery of the "zombie arm clawing its way out of the grave", making the point that Dyson's research is helping SkyNet to drag itself out of a temporal-paradox nonexistence.

Glamour Failure: Deleted content from the foundry scene at the end reveals that, whether due to the extreme heat, damage it sustained from being frozen and shattered, or some combination thereof, the T-1000 is struggling to maintain its form. Its liquid metal surface periodically ripples, and it begins taking on the shape of any surface it touches (such as the floors and handrails). This explains why the T-1000 at first tried to get Sarah to call out for John when he cornered her, and later how John was able to identify which was the real Sarah when it finally took her form.

Laser-Guided Karma: Dougie, one of the orderlies at the mental hospital, commits a sexual assault on Sarah and harasses the other patients by tapping their door jambs with his nightstick. Guess who's the second casualty in that scene?note Not from the Terminator! The therapist who exploits Sarah so he can get on TV and be in medical journals eventually becomes the only member of the hospital staff alive who knows exactly what's going on. After years of telling Sarah she's insane for having a similar experience, who would believe him?

Rule of Symbolism
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism During the opening title sequence, Cameron shows the playground three times. Once during a normal day, next covered in apocalyptic ashes, and again on fire. This was meant to symbolize heaven, hell and purgatory. During the same sequence, he shows four mechanical horses, meant to symbolize the horsemen of the apocalypse. As the orderlies catch Sarah, they're too focused on keeping her down to listen to her about the oncoming "threat" of the killer approaching them only a few feet away and end up getting caught off guard when he attacks them, essentially representing humanity's response to the Connors and Skynet/Judgment Day. An easily missed example: John, Sarah, and the T-800 arrive in a small town to stop near a gas station. As they leave, the exact moment the T-800 goes into full detail about Judgment Day is when they are in the desert, easily symbolizing Judgment Day itself. When they break into Cyberdyne Systems, Sarah's wearing Kyle's grey trenchcoat from the first movie. Her donning the uniform of her hardened soldier lover is a very clever visual marker of how far she's come. The Terminator for most of film, with fully intact flesh over metal endoskeleton, is just that, an infiltrator machine, a clever forgery of a man. Later on, as it learns about humanity, half his face ends up shot and ripped off from battle damage. When the camera focuses on his metal skull, and his human-side, its implying he's no longer just a reprogrammed cyborg, but something now becoming self aware.

Apocalypse Wow
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_91e8cd03

Apocalypse Wow: Sarah's dream of Judgment Day, first described to the psychiatrist then shown. It involves her silently and helplessly screaming at a playground full of children to run for their lives (and getting an odd look from the parents...notably, one that is "Sarah Connor if she had ended up as the suburban housewife she might have become"), until the first nuke hits over the city. "...then the shockwave hits...and...and they fly apart like leaves!" Also flying apart like leaves: Sarah's incinerated skeleton, still clinging to the playground fence. James Cameron has mentioned getting mail after the film's release from nuclear physicists who commended him on the most realistic depiction of a close-up nuclear detonation put on film thus far.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_92d728e1
comment
Resurrection Sickness: invokedA very subtle example was edited out of the theatrical release (but included in the Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition). After its freezing, shattering, melting, and re-forming at the steel mill, the T-1000 struggles to keep its form. Its feet and hands "merge" into the floor and handrails, temporarily sticking to them, and its entire body refreshes itself from head to toe from time to time. In a deleted part of the scene where John sees both Sarah and the T-1000 (in Sarah's form), John sees that its feet have melded into the platform, which tips him off as to which Sarah is real.

Silicon Snarker: The T-800 sent to protect John develops something of a wry sense of humor as he spends time around humanity, learning from them (The Director's Cut has this occur after John and Sara reset a Restraining Bolt that Skynet had outfitted him with). Examples include handing an empty weapon to SWAT team members saying, "Here, hold this" while depriving them of their gas masks, and lamenting "I need a vacation" after being put through the ringer by the T-1000.

Guns Do Not Work That Way: As John and the T-800 escort Sarah out of the asylum, a law enforcement officer drives up in his cruiser; Sarah proceeds to carjack him, firing a round through the windshield (not aimed at the officer) to show she means business. The bullet goes through the glass, and then disappears- the seats and rear window are unharmed. This might be a gaff of a different kind. The creators may have believed that police cars habitually use bulletproof glass. They don't, but Hollywood might assume they do. If it did have bulletproof glass, the bullet might've ended up somewhere on the dashboard or bouncing around harmlessly in the cab.

Shotguns Are Just Better
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_96ecc67e
comment
Shotguns Are Just Better: As with the first movie, shotguns play a prominent role in this film. The T-800's primary weapon for the first half of the movie is a Winchester model 1887 shotgun. Sarah Connor uses a highly customized Remington 870 shotgun to fight the T-1000 in the Steel Mill. As with the first movie, this is enforced: Shotguns are the only things nearby with enough punch to slow down a Terminator. Sarah unloads a police-issue handgun into the T-1000 while it's running full-sprint after their car, and this only barely slows it down.

Rewatch Bonus: You might notice on a second viewing that the new T-800 obtains his clothes, boots and motorcycle without killing anybody, only maiming his victims despite having a lit cigar pressed to his skin, threatened by a knife and having a pool cue smashed over his back (in contrast, the original T-800 murdered a punk by punching through his ribcage, mere minutes after his arrival), even though this occurred before meeting John and making a Thou Shalt Not Kill vow. A subtle hint that this version of the T-800 is on the side of good unlike the original.

Androids Are People, Too: A deleted scene (that is added back in the extended cut) reveals that Terminators have a "Learn" switch in their heads that is deliberately turned off by Skynet to stop them ever questioning their orders, because Skynet is paranoid about its own robot mooks thinking for themselves. When the heroes turn on "Uncle Bob's" learning function, he grows to understand the value of human life and becomes a Technical Pacifist who in the end performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save humanity and end Skynet for good. The T-1000 from the same film is stated to be a prototype that can learn extremely quickly, but it develops a deliberately cruel personality and seems to on some level enjoy tormenting humans - for example, he allows a security guard to see him disguised as the guard before messily killing him, and he gives a famous Finger Wag to Sarah after she pumps him full of lead.

Villains Blend in Better: The T-1000 can look and act like any human it encounters, while the T-800 is easily recognizable to those who have already encountered one and survived (though that could be quite rare, apart from the Connors).

Kill It with Fire: The method that actually works. Namely, dropping the T-1000 in a vat of molten iron. Earlier, the T-1000 did survive an explosion at the conclusion of his truck chase against John but survived that because he had enough time to escape and/or the fire wasn't hot enough to burn him.

Spot the Imposter: The closing fight scene where the shapeshifting Terminator has impersonated Sarah Connor, and John must work out which is the real one (which wants him alive) and the bad one (who wants him very very dead). He picks the good one. In the extended version, they reveal how John was able to make the right choice: due to the freezing/smashing/recombining the T-1000 went through, its morphing is damaged and it ends up copying the appearance of materials it is in contact with. John looked down and noted that the fake Sarah had a corrugated metal pattern on its legs. In another version, the heat rising through the grating below has melted her legs in the pattern of the grate.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing Before the ultimate reveal that the T-800 is the good guy this time around and that the "protector" is actually the villainous T-1000, the film leaves a few hints as to their true nature: The T-800 cleans house at the bar to get the biker's clothes and ride, but doesn't actually kill anyone, unlike the previous Terminator's brutal introduction in the first film. It's a clear tip that this T-800 isn't programmed to be a merciless killer, especially when he gets the cool Bad to the Bone treatment. Tellingly, Janelle and Todd are still alive when the T-1000 questions them, with Todd mentioning "a big guy" having arrived earlier, whereas the previous T-800 model broke into Sarah's mother's house to kill her mother and find her location. The T-1000's introduction, meanwhile, is a distinctly more serious scene, with more foreboding music too. He also runs up to this imminent victim, completely stark naked and nothing in his hand, and yet his victim still cries out and doubles over in pain. Later on, John Connor's dog Max starts barking frantically when the T-1000 asks his foster parents about him and his whereabouts. In the first film, it's established that dogs instinctively know what is and isn't a Terminator. Also the weapons that each acquires from the outset; the protector uses a shotgun as their first weapon while the robotic assassin uses a pistol. In the first film, the T-800 mainly uses the .45 caliber pistol until the first encounter with Kyle Reese, who acquired a shotgun. Here, the T-1000 takes a pistol from the cop he kills while the T-800 steals a shotgun. (Strictly speaking, the shotgun is the second gun that the T-800 takes, but it's the first one he uses.) There are a few elements that border on Rewatch Bonus that further hint of each time traveler's allegiance. The T-800 is never seen looking up John's personal address (Janelle mentions he dropped by asking for John before the T-1000 did), while the T-1000 has to look it up on a Police Database - because the former is sent by John himself and thus knows it, while the later does not. In fact the T-800 happens upon John as he's driving to the Galleria - it at first viewing looks like chance, but it's in actuality because he knows where John is going and is watching the path John's likely to take. This continues at the Galleria - the T-1000 has to ask people where to find John. The T-800 meanwhile goes straight for the Arcade's back exit. This subtly calls back to the first film, where the villainous Terminator has to kill his way through all the Sarah Connors in the phonebook, while the Hero, Kyle, knows where to find Sarah from info John gave him. John plays Missile Command at the Arcade. The look the T-1000 shoots at a silvery mall mannequin, which is shown to resemble the T-1000's own silver blob form when it's not imitating human flesh. During Sarah's escape, as she puts a needle to Dr. Silberman's neck, he says "You're no killer. I don't believe you'd do it.". Later, when she attacks Miles Dyson's home, she has him and his family at gunpoint, then stops herself from shooting them as soon as she sees that she's acting much like the terminator from the first film.

Counting Bullets: The T-1000 does this during the mall shootout with T-800. As it continues firing, it pulls a spare magazine from its gunbelt so as to be ready to reload as soon as it runs out of ammo. Even so, it fires more bullets from its Beretta than that gun is capable of carrying (21 bullets from a 15-round magazine). During the escape from the mental institution, the T-800, John, and Sarah are shooting at the T-1000. At one point John warns Sarah that the magazine he just handed her is the last one.

Mourning a Dead Robot: The film climaxes with the T-800 Terminator machine making a Heroic Sacrifice to prevent Judgment Day from ever happening, and John Connor, who had grown to love him like a surrogate father, crying over the decision. In interviews, director James Cameron stated that this moment was the entire purpose of the film. After creating the most terrifying Killer Robot imaginable in the first film, he challenged himself in the second film by asking, "Can I make an audience cry over the death of a Terminator?".

My God, What Have I Done? John has a minor such moment when he admits that he spent most of his adolescence hating his mother for (he thought) lying to him about the future, when it turns out everything she said was true, and out of all the people in the world, even her own son refused to believe her and turned his back on her. Sarah attacks Dyson's home as if she were a Terminator because he's reverse-engineering technology from the first T-800 and his research will eventually lead to the creation of Skynet. She breaks down when she realizes that they're an innocent family with no inkling of their impact on the future, and the arrival of her son to see her this way. Dyson goes through this once he learns how his fascinating technical research will cause the doom of mankind. Oddly, Sarah considers that as taking it well.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The T-1000 is this compared to the T-800 from the first movie, where the T-800 was a massive, hulking brute force steamroller that primarily used heavy guns and doesn't bother to blend in, the T-1000 is a stealthy infiltrator that looks much more normal and favors lighter sidearms or shapeshifting its arms into blades. James Cameron deliberately invoked this with his casting of the much more ordinary looking Robert Patrick opposite Arnold, saying that if "the 800 series is a kind of human Panzer tank, then the 1000 series had to be a Porsche."

Mood Whiplash: The T-800 cracking a joke on how it needs a vacation after destroying the T-1000 is immediately followed by its I Cannot Self-Terminate scene. Sarah has almost completed a daring escape where she beat several orderlies and broke Dr. Silberman's arm before threatening to inject him with Draino in a daring attempt to escape the hospital, running with bravery a determination to let nothing get in her way! Once the furthest elevator dings and the doors open, she begins running towards it... only for the T-800 to walk out, holding a large shotgun... and all that bravery, courage, and determination to escape immediately disappears. Her legs collapse out from under her and she falls to the floor at the sight of the cyborg who destroyed any chance of her ever having a normal life and why she's been trapped in the asylum. She is now back in 1984, scared and running for her life, which she then immediately starts doing, so rattled and scared that the orderlies have zero problem getting her restrained. Even after learning the T-800 is on her side, she is still very rattled and takes a long time to fully trust him.

If Skynet sending a Terminator that was considered "new" in the first movie was a last gasp of the losing side, how could they be able to send the T-1000? And the Resistance a reprogrammed T-800? Answer: Reese is an Unreliable Expositor. He himself mentions that he doesn't know anything more about time travel other than what he was briefed, and he actually has no idea what happened after he left the future. In reality, Skynet sent several Terminators back in time all at once, to different points in history. And the Resistance only knew about two of them.

Healing Factor: The T-1000 can regenerate itself from almost anything. Albeit, it can be slowed down or pushed away forcefully through bullets and freezing but its only true weaknesses are extreme temperatures.

Shoot Out the Lock
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_a6c99b08
comment
Shoot Out the Lock: The T-800 doesn't seem to bother with pistols. An M79 grenade launcher works better, though it's less "shoot the lock" and more "obliterate the door". Earlier in the film, he does this to padlocked fence gates while driving a motorcycle, with a shotgun. Granted, it is designed to be a perfect killing machine, but that kind of precision is still very impressive.

comment
Super-Senses: The T-1000's sensors are integrated into its molecular structure, giving it full-body sensory input, but it generally scans surfaces by touch for much of its direct data input and for obtaining surface details for shapeshifting. The theatrical cut of the movie hints at this when it runs its fingers over the computer in the police car before typing in John's info. A deleted scene shows the T-1000 running its fingers over everything in John's room before finding his mementos of Sarah behind a poster. The novelization discusses this function.

Humanity Is Infectious: The T-800. Originally coldly robotic, its neural net processor ("learning computer") picks up human slang and attitudes from the Connors. Even the T-1000 picks up a few mannerisms. At first, it's only using a personality in the process of better infiltrating humanity in order to kill John Connor. By the end of the movie, it likes to silently mock the protagonists' futility via Finger Wag and taking its sweet time to attack Sarah Connor for no other reason than For the Evulz.

Oh, Crap!
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: John gets a massive one in the back hallway of the Galleria while running from the T-1000 (disguised as a cop). The moment he sees the T-800 pull out its shotgun, he knows exactly what it is and why it's there. It gets even worse when he sees both Terminators aim right at him. Only the T-800's command of "Get down!" snaps him out of it. He unsurprisingly displays it again during the subsequent vehicle chase through the drainage canals. Either subverted or downplayed during the scene where the police inform Sarah that someone identical to the Terminator has come, that her son is missing, and that his foster parents have been murdered. Sarah, who is pretending to be catatonic, doesn't react at all, but the camera lingers on her for enough time for you to get the message. Later played straight by Sarah when she rushes towards the elevator at the asylum... and the T-800 steps out. The T-1000 gets a very satisfying one when it realizes the T-800 just shot a grenade into its midsection, causing it to explode a second later into a huge, twisted mess. And before that, it got frozen into this expression when it realizes that being washed in a wave of liquid nitrogen is really bad for its health. John's reaction when he realizes that Sarah has gone off to try and kill SkyNet's principal creator, Miles Dyson, in an effort to avert Judgement Day. The biker who eventually winds up "donating" his clothes, boots and motorcycle in the beginning has a fairly priceless reaction when he stuffs a lit cigar into the T-800's chest... and the T-800 barely reacts at all. As they are clearing the office floor of the Cyberdyne building, the SWAT team comes across a mortally-wounded Miles Dyson...who is using his last ounce of strength to hold a heavy object over the remote detonator switch. When the final battle makes its way to the steel mill, one man screams to the rest of the crew, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

As John and the T-800 escort Sarah out of the asylum, a law enforcement officer drives up in his cruiser; Sarah proceeds to carjack him, firing a round through the windshield (not aimed at the officer) to show she means business. The bullet goes through the glass...and disappears; the seats and rear window are unharmed. This might be a gaff of a different kind. The creators may have believed that police cars habitually use bulletproof glass. They don't, but Hollywood might assume they do. If it did have bulletproof glass, the bullet might've ended up somewhere on the dashboard or bouncing around harmlessly in the cab.

Critics have lightly jabbed at the fact that the T-1000 just happens to hijack a tanker full of liquid nitrogen — one of the few substances that can harm it — and then chases the heroes into a steel mill, one of the few places it could thaw back out so quickly, and one of the few places containing a substance that can kill it. note The latter is probably an example of Fridge Brilliance as the T-800 ordered John to take that slip road off the highway towards the steelworks.

"No More Holding Back" Speech: At the end of the movie, Sarah Connor gave an epilogue that showed where both she and John Connor had changed over the course of the movie. The entire time they were thinking that Judgement Day was inevitable and that all machines were the enemy, when they were surprised by the compassion shown by the terminator sent to protect them. It ends up overlapping with a Patrick Stewart Speech.

comment
Bottomless Magazines: The T-1000 fires 21 shots from a Beretta 92FS when shooting in the mall. The Browning Hi-Power he takes from Lewis carries 13 rounds, with the T-1000 firing 23 rounds from it before the gun runs dry. Downplayed with the Winchester 1887 shotgun that the T-800 steals from the bar owner. The magazine tube can hold up to five shells, but he often fires up to seven before stopping to reload. It's possible to do this by fully loading the magazine, then putting the sixth shell in the chamber and the seventh on the internal loading spoon. What isn't shown, though, is where he got the spare ammo from. The T-800's M79 ends up as more of an inversion, as he starts with 11 grenades (though the exact number shown on his person varies between scenes) but ends up running out after only eight.

Fiery Cover-Up: A benevolent version. Sarah, John, Dyson, and the T-800 destroy all the equipment and records at the Cyberdyne lab to prevent the creation of Skynet and the subsequent nuclear war that kills three billion people.

Everyone Has Standards: John has a history of multiple crimes and he is able to steal fairly large amounts of money without compunctions. However, killing people is always an absolute no-no to him, and he doesn't really seem to like injuring them, either.

Dying Vocal Change: The T-1000 has been speaking in perfectly legible English with Robert Patrick's distinctive voice, even while in its liquid metal form. However, after being blown out of shape with a grenade launcher and tumbling into a pool of molten steel, it can only emit high-pitched metallic screeching sounds in lieu of speech; as a result, the T-1000's Shapeshifter Swan Song is spent screaming like fingernails on a blackboard as it slowly melts.

Caught Up in the Rapture: Referenced. The title refers to the end of the world, the day Skynet launched nuclear weapons. The three billion people who died were effectively "raptured". The ones left behind called the war Judgment Day, and then fought in the final war...against machines not demons, but whatever.

comment
Double Vision: The mimetic polyalloy T-1000 appears on screen disguised as Sarah Connor alongside the real Sarah, accomplished by having Linda Hamilton play the T-1000 while her twin sister, Leslie doubled as Sarah. Leslie was used again in a scene in the extended Special Edition version, wherein Sarah extracts the Terminator's CPU. The scene is mostly seen through reflections in a mirror: Linda and Arnold played the reflections, while Leslie matched Linda's movements precisely in the close foreground with an Arnold dummy. For another doubling scene with the T-1000 real twins were used. Particularly interesting because of the happenstance: Linda's being a twin was obviously not a factor in her original casting!

Director's Cut: There are a couple extended versions available that fleshes out a few details. During a repair session John and Sarah remove the T-800's processor chip and debate on destroying it. The T-1000 further investigates John's foster parents home, verifying the dog's name (not Wolfie) and searching John's room until he finds hidden letters from his mom. Michael Biehn cameos in a dream sequence visiting Sarah in the hospital. The T-1000 started glitching after getting frozen and shattered, phasing into the grating and changing colors (which was how John was able to tell the T-1000 apart from the actual Sarah when confronted with two of them).

Even the T-1000 picks up a few mannerisms. At first, it's only using a personality in the process of better infiltrating humanity in order to kill John Connor. By the end of the movie, it likes to silently mock the protagonists' futility via Finger Wag and taking its sweet time to attack Sarah Connor for no other reason than For the Evulz.

Color Motif: Cameron shot the movie with two colors used as lighting and filtering: orange and blue. Orange was the color of humanity while blue was the color of machines. This was brought to a head in the steel mill finale, where humanity (and a humanized Terminator) makes its final stand against the machines. The orange hues of the molten steel (which would destroy the machines) was filmed opposite of the cold blue of the machinery around it.

No-Nonsense Nemesis: When T-1000 loses John, he takes the place of his step-mom and waits for him to come home. When he realizes his cover's been blown and John's not coming, he works out the next highest probability for success (now replacing Sarah and waiting for John to make contact) and does that. When they escape, he then correctly predicts (yet again) that the Connors may target Miles Dyson to prevent Skynet's rise. Since he has the same files as the T-800 this is presumably how all the T-Series machines think: they work out the most likely to succeed plan and do it with zero hesitation or dicking around.

Curb-Stomp Cushion: The intro to Terminator 2 shows an army of Skynet robots slowly working their way across the battlefield, seemingly rolling over everything in their paths. Then we see a human soldier standing over a crippled Terminator before finishing it off, followed by a flying Hunter Killer craft being blasted out of the air with a surface-to-air missile fired by a gunner in a pickup truck. Of course, the effectiveness and eventual victory of La Résistance is the whole reason for Skynet's time travel gambit to begin with.

High-Speed Hijack One of the most badass examples in film history is a scene in which the T-1000 rams his tanker into the rear of the good guys' pickup truck and the T-800 responds by grabbing an assault rifle, walking from the back of the pickup to the front of the tanker, shooting the T-1000 through the glassnote As in, it unloads the entire clip into the guy's face, grabbing the wheel from the outside and making it turn on its side, and then riding the top of the sliding truck until it comes to a stop. A bit earlier, the T-1000 rides its motorcycle out through the window of a building and takes over a police helicopter while it's in the air.

Shapeshifting Failure
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_befe68ee
comment
Shapeshifting Failure: In a series of deleted scenes restored in the special edition of the film, the act of being frozen by the liquid nitrogen and subsequently thawed out in the steel foundry somehow damages the T-1000. Its skin begins rippling periodically and it is shown occasionally sticking to and/or taking on the appearance of whatever it's touching. This is significant because it shows the T-1000 suffering lasting damage from anything the heroes have attempted thus far; it also winds up giving the T-1000 away when it attempts to disguise itself as Sarah, as its feet and lower legs assume the texture of the platform it's standing on. It also explains the famous "Call to John" scene, as the T-1000 would be hesitant to take Sarah's form for fear of glitching and giving itself away, only doing so when it has no other choice.

Hollywood Chameleons: A deleted scene (restored in special editions) shows this becoming a problem for the T-1000 after it reintegrates from being frozen in liquid nitrogen and blown apart by the T-800. The problem for it being that it uses its ability to mimic visuals and textures on whatever it is touching no matter what at the point of contact. This is how John is able to Spot the Impostor when the T-1000 imitates Sarah - its feet and lower legs match the pattern of the platform everyone is standing on.

Mutually Assured Destruction: Deconstructed. The T-800 explains to Sarah how future events play out in the war called "Judgment Day". The USA panics when the system they designed to protect their country becomes self-aware, and immediately try to shut it down. Skynet, rightly viewing this as an attempt on its life, launches all its missiles at Russia, knowing that Russia will automatically counterattack and get rid of the people trying to kill it.

Cutting the Knot
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c2299d6e
comment
Cutting the Knot It's set up that accessing the broken chip and robotic arm requires many security measures. When Dyson tries to explain these to John, the latter simply throws the glass containers on the floor and picks the two components out of the pieces. You can see Dyson thinking "Or that will work, too." In fact, in the commentary, Cameron used these exact words to describe the scene. The point of the scene was to demonstrate that Dyson still held the arm and chip in sacred regard, while John saw them as garbage that needed to be disposed of. The T-800 does it a few times. In need of a quarter for the payphone, he punches a hole in the phone's coin box and hands one to John. When Dyson is unable to open a door at Skynet with a keycode, the T-800 opens it with the grenade launcher. Later, when Sarah is trapped in a room by the SWAT team, the T-800 smashes through the wall to rescue her.

Big "NO!": Sarah almost makes it out of the asylum, but she sees the T-800 walking out of an elevator. After saying "no" in a low tone of disbelief, it turns into this out of sheer terror.

Boom, Headshot!
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c3585f4a
comment
Boom, Headshot!: This is played with, given that Terminators don't react to bullets the way people do. The T-800 unloads an entire magazine from a fully automatic assault rifle straight into the T-1000's face, stunning it long enough for the T-800 to crash the semi driven by the T-1000. The T-800 gives a shotgun blast to the T-1000's face to stall it during the escape from Pescadero, splitting its head down the middle. Sarah also delivers a shotgun blast directly to the T-1000's eye while they're in the steel mill, blowing a huge hole through its head. The SWAT team members try their best at this with their 9mm submachineguns against the T-800. They succeed in blowing off some of his camouflage face, but little more. All that the T-1000 does by smashing a heavy piece of iron onto the T-800's head is rub off more of his camouflage face and reveal his red robotic eye on one side. Played straight when the T-1000 disguised as John's foster mother kills his foster father by turning its arm into a sword and shoving it through his mouth, pinning him to the kitchen cabinets.

We Have the Keys: In one part of the film, the T-800 punches through a car window, then hotwires the car by breaking the steering column open. John flips down the windshield visor to reveal the keys, waving them in the Terminator's face and making a snide remark about "learning". The second time the T-800 needs a vehicle, he starts to break the steering column, then flips down the visor to find the keys. Weirdly enough, the vehicle is a SWAT van; you'd think cops would know better.

Artistic License – Nuclear Physics
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c446f93c
comment
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: During her nightmare, Sarah and the other victims have their flesh completely carbonized by the thermal effects of a nuclear bomb and then ripped away from their skeletons by the blast wave. This would only actually happen if you were essentially at ground zero of the detonation — from the distance Sarah and the others were, they'll all likely have sustained fatal third-degree burns over their entire bodies thanks to them being on an exposed hillside with no shelter, but even that wouldn't have been immediately fatal, let alone as dramatic as what see. Justified, however, by both Rule of Cool and the fact that Sarah probably isn't all that well-read on the precise effects of nuclear bombs other than that they tend to kill a lot of people. (And even if she were, dreams aren't exactly known for their strict adherence to reality.)

Bulletproof Vest: During the highway chase scene at the end of the movie, Sarah, John, and the T-800 commandeer an armored SWAT truck while the T-1000 pursues in a helicopter. Sarah puts John into the back and piles him under a heap of bullet proof vests, then hangs several more from the back door to use as cover while trading fire with the T-1000. It works pretty well. At least until the T-1000 manages to walk his fire into Sarah's exposed leg.

Novelization
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c54d550d
comment
Novelization: The film was novelized by Randall Frakes, who previously penned the novelization of the previous film with this film’s co-writer William Wisher. Some backstory is given on the T-1000 and the T-800 utilizing the Time Displacement Equipment. There is an extended Future War sequence describing the defeat of Skynet by the human Resistance and how they entered a SkyNet lab, where they found the Time Displacement Equipment and how they were sending Kyle Reese though time and finding facilities of Terminators. There are machines, such as the HK-Silverfish, the HK-Centurion, and the Future Terminator, were originally going to be in the film but never shown due to the lack of time and budget. Miles Dyson's teenage years and propensity for science is mentioned. The epilogue for the novel is the alternate future that Judgment Day was averted, which is used as the alternative ending for the film.

Luring in Prey: The T-1000 reshapes itself into a duplicate of Sarah Connor, aiming to lure John Connor within striking range. However, the real Sarah Connor calls to John from behind him, and John sees two Sarahs. He quickly assesses both and deduces that the more sweaty and haggard Sarah is the real one. The fake observes that its ruse has failed, and returns to its default shape.

Shout-Out
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: At one point, our heroes pull into a gas station. The pumps have "Benthic Petroleum" logos on them; this is the company that owned the undersea oil rig in The Abyss, which was also written and directed by James Cameron. The Terminator carrying a shotgun in a box full of roses is a reference to Guns N' Roses (who are in the soundtrack) and a shout-out to The Godfather (where Peter Clemenza uses the same concealment). An unusual example: James Cameron wrote both T2 and Aliens, and both movies include a scene where a character says something akin to this: "I asked once the company where we got this ridiculously advanced computer and mechanical arm from/why we're going out in small groups to this random mucus-covered building in the middle of nowhere, and you know what they told me? Don't Ask." As the scene in Aliens was cut (but restored in the Extended version), one could see the Miles Dyson scene as Cameron homaging himself. In the scene where John, Sarah, Dyson, and the Terminator are setting explosives to blow up the Cyberdyne lab, the explosive barrels are labeled "Polydichloric Euthimal". This is the same name as the synthetic stimulant used by some of the miners in Outland. One shout-out doubles as a Freeze-Frame Bonus: the cop killed by the T-1000 at the film's beginning is, according to his name tag, named Austin. A possible shout-out to another famous cyborg with that surname? Even funnier: Robert Patrick named his second child Austin. The name of John's foster parents is Voight. Considering they're only introduced into the script as an excuse to provide a moment where the T-800 figures out that the T-1000 has killed the Voights, it is clear that their name is a shout out to the Voight-Kampff test in Blade Runner—a test aimed at detecting replicants amidst humans. Schwarzenegger ad-libs the line "I need a vacation", which he previously said in Kindergarten Cop. The catchphrase, "Hasta la vista, baby" was already popular from the Jody Watley song "Looking for a New Love" from 1987, four years before this film.

Obvious Stunt Double: There are several very obvious scenes of stunt doubles doing the motorcycle riding during the canal chase, especially the T-800 jumping the Harley into the canal; it's amazingly obvious that the guy who jumps the motorcycle is not Arnold Schwarzenegger. The face was digitally replaced in the 2017 re-releases, starting with the 3D one that year.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_c93a6560
comment
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The T-1000 is limited to using stabbing and bludgeoning weapons because of its nature, but it does this very well. It kills John's foster dad (and, it's impliednote with regards to the method, not to the fact, his foster mom too) and the tanker truck driver with an arm blade, kills the unfortunate guard at the mental hospital with a finger spike, and later spears Sarah through the shoulder with one. Later on, the T-1000 turns the tables on the T-800 in this manner. The T-800 cleaves through the T-1000 with a long metal rod; the T-1000 responds by taking the rod away, beating the T-800 with it, then skewering it through the back.

Subverted later, as the T-800 correctly predicted, the T-1000 anticipated Sarah Conner's assassination attempt on Dyson to prevent Judgement Day; but it arrived several hours too late and the attack on Cyberdyne was already underway. Had it forecast Sarah's plan earlier, it would've copied and killed Dyson (disregarding any time-travel implications this would have on Skynet) then targeted Sarah once again to lure out its primary objective: John.

Self-Mutilation Demonstration
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_ce323098
comment
Self-Mutilation Demonstration: John hands the T-800 a knife and orders it to show Miles Dyson what it really is. The T-800 slices through the organic covering on its left forearm, then peels the lot away to expose the endoskeleton arm underneath. It looks impassively at the limb, a few shreds of bloody flesh clinging to the metal, and flexes the joints a bit. Miles and his wife are horrified by the revelation. (Thankfully, John had the good sense to take their son out of the room before the T-800 began cutting.) It takes Miles a few seconds to fully understand what he's seeing...and then he's horrified for a different reason. His wife meanwhile (probably) didn't recognize the significance of the arm, but was nonetheless freaking out over the sight of a man ripping off his own skin and muscle.

Lighter and Softer: There's a lower body count in this film compared to the original because of the T-800's vow not to kill. The protector from the future is also considerably less vulnerable than Kyle (both physically and emotionally), and the general outlook for humanity is much more optimistic even ending with an earned happy ending at least until the sequel.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: John calls the T-800 out on its lethal behavior by arguing that its defense is a Disproportionate Retribution. He also calls the T-800 out on maiming people instead of killing them, but the T-800 justified its by pointing out that it's a Terminator and Terminators are programmed to kill. Sarah told John that it was foolish of him for coming to rescue her rather than flee from whatever Skynet throws at both of them. John then tears up. In the director's cut, John has to stop Sarah from destroying the T-800—a massive asset in their two-person war against the future destruction of mankind and their more immediate struggle against the T-1000—by way of destroying its CPU. He throws all her rhetoric about how he's supposed to be the "great military leader" back in her face by pointing out that he can't even get his own mother to listen to him.

Shapeshifter Guilt Trip
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_d4dd2bb5
comment
Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: The T-1000 shapeshifts into Sarah Connor in an attempt to lure and terminate her son John. The attempt fails when the real Sarah appears behind the T-1000, and John trusts her characteristic approach ("Get out of the way, John") over the duplicate's attitude of slumped defeat. In the film's special edition, John notices the T-1000 has warped and misshapen feet, as its shapeshifting abilities were compromised by the machine's earlier exposure to liquid nitrogen.

Revised Ending
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_d51158ee
comment
Revised Ending: The film's original ending has Sarah Connor reflecting on her experiences many years after the events of the movie, all while she watches her son play with his daughter at a park. Cameron says the Dark Highway ending was a better for the film, as it better represents the ambiguous nature of the future; the playground ending implies that the future is now set (and thus deterministic).

comment
A deleted scene (that is added back in the extended cut) reveals that Terminators have a "Learn" switch in their heads that is deliberately turned off by Skynet to stop them ever questioning their orders, because Skynet is paranoid about its own robot mooks thinking for themselves. When the heroes turn on "Uncle Bob's" learning function, he grows to understand the value of human life and becomes a Technical Pacifist who in the end performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save humanity and end Skynet for good.

Dramatic Ammo Depletion
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_d63af362
comment
Dramatic Ammo Depletion: A heroic example. Sarah Connor keeps blasting the T-1000 with a shotgun, pushing it towards the edge of a ledge above a pool of molten metal. However just as the T-1000 is about to fall off, Sarah runs out of ammo. The T-1000 heals up his wounds and starts taunting Sarah, before the T-800 arrives and blows it off the edge using a grenade launcher.

comment
Artistic License – Explosives: During the Cyberdyne lab raid and steel mill face-off, the T-800 blows up various targets at close range with its M79 grenade launcher. The rounds are specifically designed to arm themselves only after they've flown 15-30 meters downrange, in order to keep the shooter from getting caught in the blast. Hit anything closer, and you'll either put a dent or a big hole in it — and leave behind a live grenade.

Assimilation Backfire: The T-1000 takes the form of a policeman to search for John Connor, and this disguise works remarkably well, right up until he actually finds him. One of the kids it asks for information is John's friend, a fellow Delinquent who, after lying and saying that he doesn't know John, immediately runs back to warn him that a cop is looking for him. John bails immediately, and it's this which prevents the cyborg assassin from immediately killing him off.

comment
Contrived Coincidence: Critics have lightly jabbed at the fact that the T-1000 just happens to hijack a tanker full of liquid nitrogen — one of the few substances that can harm it — and then chases the heroes into a steel mill, one of the few places it could thaw back out so quickly, and one of the few places containing a substance that can kill it. note The latter is probably an example of Fridge Brilliance as the T-800 ordered John to take that slip road off the highway towards the steelworks. In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, bit character police officer 1L19 (the guy whose car the original Terminator stole outside of Tech Noir) just happens to be walking past the store where the new Terminator gets thrown out by the T-1000. The camera briefly zooms on his shocked expression, as he recognizes that this is the same guy (or so he believes) that not only attacked him, but slaughtered his fellow cops 10 years ago.

Worst Aid: Sarah takes a bullet to the leg in the final car chase, and fashions a makeshift tourniquet from her shirt. Justified partially because Sarah learned all of her first aid from military veterans, who are taught that if the situation does not allow for proper treatment methodology (such as a situation where you are currently being chased by a murderous robot from the future), you skip to the most extreme solution and move on.

Go Among Mad People: Sarah Connor was definitely more insane after spending years in a mental asylum (attacking the psychiatrist) than she was before (merely believing in the Terminators). Although it is possible that her experience in the first Terminator set her a path which leads her to violence, including trying to blow up a computer factory. Based on what we see, it's clear that she was subjected to sexual abuse by the staff and other mistreatment by her therapist (getting a cocktail of drugs to treat a mental illness she doesn't have probably didn't help).

May It Never Happen Again: Seeking to preclude SkyNet from ever being created, the protagonists visit Cyberdyne Systems, where they obliterate the place with explosives. Afterward, the only remnants of terminators are 1) the chipset that Dyson had been reverse engineering, 2) the robotic arm of the terminator from the first TheTerminator movie, and 3) the reprogrammed T-800 that has been aiding Sarah and John Connor. The first two pieces are tossed into a steel smelter, and the T-800 makes a Heroic Sacrifice to expunge all traces of terminator technology. Alas, a Stable Time Loop demands that terminators must exist, so SkyNet finds alternate means of coming into existence in future installments.

Extreme Mêlée Revenge: Sarah gets this on the orderly who licked her face when she escapes, by knocking him senseless with a broom handle. For bonus points, this trope also applied for Linda Hamilton during the scene. note The actor who portrayed Dougie kept screwing up the takes when he beat her earlier. For every reshoot, Sarah had to fall on her knees again, which painfully bruised them up. Linda waled on the guy for real when it came time to shoot her breakout scene.

Feet-First Introduction
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_e73f6217
comment
Feet-First Introduction: The movie begins with a close-up of a Terminator stepping on and crushing a human skull. When the Terminator steps out of the bar wearing its newly acquired leather jacket and boots, the camera starts on its boots, then pans up as "Bad to the Bone" begins playing. This makes the Terminator more badass. After the T-1000 kills off the police officer who appears when it has just time-traveled, this is used to establish that it has (apparently) donned the cop's uniform. Sarah Connor's nightmare sequence begins with her combat boots striding across the grass.

Disappearing Bullets
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_e7bf8b4d
comment
Disappearing Bullets: As John and the T-800 escort Sarah out of the asylum, a law enforcement officer drives up in his cruiser; Sarah proceeds to carjack him, firing a round through the windshield (not aimed at the officer) to show she means business. The bullet goes through the glass...and disappears; the seats and rear window are unharmed. This might be a gaff of a different kind. The creators may have believed that police cars habitually use bulletproof glass. They don't, but Hollywood might assume they do. If it did have bulletproof glass, the bullet might've ended up somewhere on the dashboard or bouncing around harmlessly in the cab. In addition, the T-800 uses an M134 minigun to disperse and occupy the police in front of the Cyberdyne building. While he manages to avoid hitting any human beings, there's no way the 7.62mm rounds aren't ricocheting off the concrete and police cars into who knows what.

Ominous Walk: The T-800, when first appearing from the elevator, at least to Sarah. The T-1000 does this multiple times, which ends up screwing him over in the end. Sarah performs one when she tries to assassinate Miles Dyson. Coming from her, it's naturally quite jarring.

Elevator Escape
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_e8147834
comment
Elevator Escape: Sarah, John and the T-800 use an elevator to get a lead on the pursuing T-1000 during Sarah's rescue from the mental hospital. The T-1000 reaches the doors just as they close and pulls them open, but then it's immediately put back on track when a well-placed shotgun blast stuns him and the doors close normally.note Linda Hamilton forgot her earplugs while filming this scene and suffered permanent hearing damage as a result of all the gunfire. The T-1000 recovers, jumps down onto the elevator car, then uses its arm blade to stab through the roof, cutting Sarah on the back at one point.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: We're reminded of just how terrifying the first film was for Sarah when she sees the T-800, not knowing it's on her side, and falls to her knees in screaming terror. Especially effective because this happens after we've seen her bust past the hospital guards in incredibly badass fashion.

Played With for the T-1000 as well. While the T-1000 is mostly impervious to damage, it appears to find being frozen by liquid Nitrogen to be extremely painful (the shooting script even mentions it looking at the stump of its arm in agony), and similarly with the way it thrashes around in the molten steel.

Dramatic Gun Cock: Sarah Connor does this several times in succession, blasting the T-1000 with a Remington 870 shotgun and interjecting each shot with a forceful, one-armed pump (her other arm was too injured to do it normally). The T-800 itself dramatically flip-cocks his shotgun, a lever-action Winchester Model 1887. Doing so with a factory production gun would result in broken fingers, as the handguard is too narrow—the shotgun in question was custom-altered for the movie, much like the shotgun from The Rifleman. He does this because it's cool, and to fire one-handed on the bike.

Jerkass: Dr. Silberman, Douglas (the orderly at the mental hospital that licks Sarah's face and hits her with his nightstick), and the bikers whom the T-800 beats up at the biker bar at the beginning of the film. Todd and Janelle, John's foster parents. He dislikes them for their hostile attitude, spends as much time as he can outside the house to get away from them, and sneers at Todd for referring to Janelle as his mother, which he takes great offense to since he longs to be with Sarah. note  They actually don't appear to be terrible parents from what we see of them, but John's at the teen-rebellion stage and is bound to perceive them as dicks. Of note, when his buddy asks about the picture of Sarah in his satchel, he calls her a "total loser" as well.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: According to early drafts, as well as the novelization, moments after the Terminator and John left to stop Sarah from terminating Miles Dyson, the T-1000 came to Enrique's camp looking for them. It knew about Enrique based on information it found in John's room (also in a deleted scene) and tracked them down there after losing them in the hospital. This confrontation results in Enrique and his entire family getting killed by the Terminator for no other reason than being friends and associates with the Connors.

Deconstructed Character Archetype: It provides deconstructions of both the Child Soldier as well as militarism in the forms of John Connor and his mother, Sarah. John is an alienated, antisocial outsider who doesn't fit in, doesn't get along with his foster parents and has only one friend due to his mother's oddball way of raising him to prepare him for the end of the world. Sarah, meanwhile, has become violent and emotionally unstable over the years since the end of the first film as she had to step up to the plate, training not just herself but her son, and suffering the heartache of losing Kyle Reese. John is far from a likeable protagonist when we first meet him, and Sarah is not exactly pleasant, but this is what happens to a Chosen One and his mentor when burdened with terrible knowledge.

Bright Is Not Good: The T-1000's liquid form is a bright, shiny chrome color, but not only is it the antagonistic "assassin" rather than the protector in this movie, it's one of the more dangerous and actively cruel Terminators. It's also a lot better than the Arnie-portrayed T-800 usually is at blending in and appearing polite when incognito, which when combined with the T-1000's aforementioned brutality makes it seem all the more psychopathic.

Also used partially in the first film, where the T-800 kills and impersonates the voice of a cop as well as Sarah's mom.

The T-800 cleans house at the bar to get the biker's clothes and ride, but doesn't actually kill anyone, unlike the previous Terminator's brutal introduction in the first film. It's a clear tip that this T-800 isn't programmed to be a merciless killer, especially when he gets the cool Bad to the Bone treatment. Tellingly, Janelle and Todd are still alive when the T-1000 questions them, with Todd mentioning "a big guy" having arrived earlier, whereas the previous T-800 model broke into Sarah's mother's house to kill her mother and find her location.

Blob Monster: The shapeshifting liquid metal robot T-1000 can mimic everything it touches, from a floor to a human being (complete with clothes), and in human shape, it is malleable enough to simply walk "through" the bars of a prison door by flowing around them. It can also utilise its abilities in interesting ways in combat, for example turning itself back to front when pinned to a wall, or melting its head around a thrown punch to grip the attacker's arm. He is defeated by John, Sarah, and T-800 by weakening him with liquid nitrogen and later throwing him into a pool of molten iron.

Keep It Foreign: In the European Spanish dub, "Hasta la vista, baby" became "Sayonara, baby". The Latin American dubs, however, usually keep it the same. In the Mexican Spanish dub, the dialogue between Sarah Connor and her Mexican friends are kept, but the Mexican characters and Sarah in the Mexican dub uses an over-the-top Mexican accent in their voices. This is justified, since in the original English version, they used Spanish profanity and it cannot be translated due to the censorship of that time.

20 Minutes into the Future: Though it's hard to tell, the film is actually set in 1995, not 1991 (the only indications are John's age in a glimpse at his record on a police computer saying he's 10 and given the original was set in 1984, and later the T-800 tells John that future John reprogrammed the T-800 "thirty-five years from now". 2029 - 35 = 1994.). Because it doesn't feature futuristic elements and thus averts Zeerust (instead simply saying it was four years ahead), it is one of the most accurate depictions of the future.

Creepy Twins: In one scene at the mental hospital, the T-1000 duplicates a hospital security guard when he steps on him (disguised as the linoleum floor), then rises up, faces him and stabs him through the head. The scene actually used two twins, Dan and Don Stanton, to play the part of the security guard and the T-1000 as his doppelganger. It imitates Sarah later, this time done with Leslie Hamilton, Linda Hamilton's twin sister.

Product Placement
 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: The T-800's Fat Boy motorcycle was provided specifically for the movie by Harley Davidson. When the young man at Cyberdyne asks Dyson for "it", he is carrying a tin of Pepsi on a tray. When John is fleeing through the backstage corridors at the mall, there is a Pepsi machine in one of them. Subway sandwiches when the police are questioning Sarah, and the girls questioned about John by the T-1000 in the beginning have Subway cups. It was all the more blatant for those who owned the VHS version: among the previews in the beginning is a Subway commercial. Miles is asked by his wife why won't he take the kids to Raging Waters (a water theme park).

Dude, She's Like in a Coma: A particularly creepy example occurs when an asylum guard licks Sarah Conner's face while he thinks she is catatonic.

comment
Empathy Doll Shot: A scene in the movie shows "Judgement Day" (a nuclear attack on Los Angeles and many other major cities around the world) at the start of the film. At a playground with burning rocking horses. Subverted though: We get to see the bomb go off complete with the burning children in what's been praised by scientists to be the most horrifyingly realistic representation of a nuclear attack ever committed to film.

comment
Murder Is the Best Solution: John Connor orders the Terminator to deal with two jerks, whereupon the T-800 sets out to kill them. Perfectly justified, as this is exactly what the Terminator was made to do.

comment
Cyberpunk: As noted on the franchise page, T2 in particular hits so many of the subtropes that you can actually make a very cogent, good-faith argument that it outright qualifies as a cyberpunk story: our heroes are disaffected outcasts (and often outright branded as criminals) who are hounded by the authorities at every turn while trying to at least survive and maybe even do some good (but, meanwhile, are willing to do very morally grey or even darker things to achieve their goals), the authorities themselves are almost uniformly depicted as deeply malevolent (and, symbolically, the primary antagonist utilizes the form of a police officer as its go-to appearance) and at "best" as incompetent, the film deals deeply with the nature of man, machine and the fusion of the two and with the morality of machine intelligence (and with it contrasted to the morality of the human heroes), and Cyberdyne is portrayed as willing to pursue profit even at the risk of the eradication of mankind (thanks to having some knowledge of what the T-800 must be). The real kicker is that the third act is centered on what is, for every possible intent and purpose, a run on Cyberdyne Systems for sabotage and retrieval (specifically of the salvaged parts of the first film's T-800). The "crew" is perhaps a bit nonstandard, with the "street samurai" being a war robot, Sarah not quite having a "standard" run crew role (being somewhere between a thief and a backup sam), the "decker" being there not entirely of his own will and utilizing contemporary computing technology instead of futuristic computer decks, and the "face" being, well, a ten-year-old, but the whole sequence itself would fit fairly neatly into Neuromancer or similar genre novels. It even features a shoot-out between the "sam" and a high-threat-response police security team! And of course, on some level, "Uncle Bob" the T-800 had a colossal effect on what "gun-toting outlaw badasses" look like throughout the entire culture in The '90s and beyond, and cyberpunk and the idea of "gun-using street samurai" and similar characters were as affected by this as anything.

The security guards at the mental institution are extremely abusive to Sarah. They use batons, cattle prods and Demerol against her and one of the bigger guards, Douglas, sexually licks her. Sarah does eventually get back at them.

comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Sarah, while wanting to stop a nuclear apocalypse is obviously a good thing her methods are morally sketchy to put it mildly. At the beginning we find she has been institutionalized for trying to blow up some buildings (which may or may not have had people in them at the time). Later, when she finds out who the main programmer of SkyNet is, she sets out to shoot him right in front of his wife and son, and only a last minute change of heart stops her from pulling the trigger.

Spear Counterpart: Dyson in this film is essentially the male equivalent of Sarah Connor from the first film. In T1 Sarah is an innocent who suddenly finds herself being targeted for assassination by a merciless killer for her pivotal role in a future event. Dyson in T2 is an innocent who suddenly finds himself being targeted for assassination by a merciless killer for his pivotal role in a future event. The one big difference is Sarah realises at the last moment that she's behaving like a Terminator and just can't bring herself to murder an innocent family man in cold blood for things he hasn't even done yet.

comment
Practical Effects: In scenes that called for two Sarah Connors to be on-screen simultaneously (a deleted scene featuring a mirror, and the finale when the T-1000 copied Sarah's appearance), Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie was called in to play the second Sarah. This was done as well in the scene where the security guard Lewis, played by Don Stanton, is stabbed in the face by the T-1000, played by his twin brother Dan. Much of the T-1000 effects were also achieved though practical and makeup effects, with only a few shots (its morphing and death scene) being accomplished with CGI.

 Terminator 2: Judgment Day / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Whereas the T-800 roughs up the male orderlies and security guards at the mental institution something fierce, the sole female security guard is just shoved to the ground and apparently knocked out. Averted with Sarah, who gets beaten and tackled (by the orderlies), and later cut across her back, shot in the leg, and impaled through the shoulder (all by the T-1000).

Abandoned Playground: The film starts with a playground in use, and then shows the same playground in the nuclear wasteland. Skulls included. The opening credits are of the same playground, as the whole thing burns in nuclear fire. Coupled with the music, the effect is powerful.

Evil-Detecting Dog: The dog barks like crazy outside at the malevolent T-1000 while it's impersonating John's foster mother. note In a deleted scene, this dog is killed by T-1000, eventually. The contrast is especially noteworthy since Enrique's dog doesn't bark at the T-800.
