o Sarah Connor was to have a dream where Reese appears and warns her that THEIR son is in danger. She has to save him, etc. They kiss and then she wakes up. This is the only scene that Michael Biehn was in, and appeared in some promotional trailers. Cameron cut the scene because he thought that audiences who had not seen the first movie would be confused by the appearance of Kyle.

o Another hospital scene was cut that took place directly after the pre-med students peer into Sarah's room. The doctor reminds the orderlies to make sure she gets her medication. The cut scene was of the staff coming in to give her the pills. They smack her in the gut with their batons and force the pills down her throat, then kick her while she's on the floor doubled over in pain.

o After the T-1000 kills John's foster parents, he ventures outside to get the dog to shut-up. He reaches down and snatches the collar off the dog, thus killing the dog. On the collar is stamped the dog's name "Max". The T-1000 realizes he has been duped by John (actually the T-800 imitating John's voice) by calling the dog "Wolfie."

o After killing the dog, the T-1000 goes to John's room to try to find any clues as to where John might be. He stalks around the room waving his arms and "feeling" things on the shelves, on the walls, etc. He eventually stops in front of a poster, realizes there is something behind it, rips it down and finds a box of mementos (pictures, and the like). This must be where the T-1000 figures out about the desert compound that Sarah, John, and the T-800 head to after the hospital. Director James Cameron decided to cut it because it made the T-1000 look too much like it had x-ray vision.

o At the abandoned gas station, a scene involved Sarah and John talking with the T-800 about learning. He tells them that his CPU was switched to read-only before being sent out. Cyberdyne doesn't want them to learn too much while on their own. John asks can it be switched and he says yes. You then see the T-800's face in a "mirror" talking Sarah through the procedure. A puppet was used for the foreground Sarah to work on and Linda's twin sister Leslie was in the mirror mimicking Linda's hand movements. After the CPU is removed, the T-800 shuts-down and Sarah places it on a table. She picks up a hammer and tries to smash it to render him inoperative. John stops her and says they need him. He starts to show authority for the first time and says to Sarah, "How am I supposed to be a world leader if my own mother won't listen to me?"

o A scene in a Skynet-free future, with Sarah Connor as an older woman giving a monologue about how John became a senator.

o The Terminator 2 ultimate edition DVD contains three versions of the film: theatrical, special (or T-1000) edition and a hidden extended special edition. This extended edition contains the scenes of both the T-1000 searching john's room and the extended/alternate ending of Sarah in the park in the future. To access this edition, on the menu where you choose which version to watch, enter in 82997 (the date of Judgement Say: august 29th 1997. Or access Track #3 on the DVD

o In the storyboards section on the Ultimate Edition DVD, there is evidence of an early scripted scene. Set right in the beginning of the movie, it shows various battle scenes of the war until in one of them, a terminator who is aiming his gun at a soldier suddenly shuts down (we see the red glow in his eye fading out), as do the others and the several hoverships and tanks. This early draft actually described soldiers penetrating skynet and destroying it, finding the terminator factory with many terminators in both skeleton and disguised form (Arnold's), and eventually sending both Kyle Reese and the reprogammed T-800 (good Arnold) back to the past.

o The Australian theatrical release of T2 contained many of the scenes that would eventually make it onto the special edition even the alternate ending with Sarah as an older woman and John with a child of his own playing in the park.
