Storyline

Almost 10 years have passed since the first cyborg called The Terminator tried to kill Sarah Connor and her unborn son, John Connor. John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance, is now a healthy young boy. However another Terminator is sent back through time called the T-1000, which is more advanced and more powerful than its predecessor. The Mission: to kill John Connor when he's still a child. However, Sarah and John do not have to face this threat of a Terminator alone. Another Terminator is also sent back through time. The mission: to protect John and Sarah Connor at all costs. The battle for tomorrow has begun... Written by Eric ggg

Trivia

Because of Edward Furlong's small stature during filming, his stunt double, who was older and larger, used a bigger version of the dirt bike for filming the chase scene. See more »

Goofs

When John is explaining to the T-800 that he cannot kill people (because, as John put it "you just can't"), in one shot behind them there is a parked car with some frost or fogging on the front windshield and you briefly see the driver's window is wound up. After he discovers The Terminator obeys basic commands (e.g. standing on one foot), and a jock is grabbed when he tries to help John, you see the same window of the same car (still with some frost on the front windshield) wound down, open or not visible in subsequent shots and with some damage on the opposite side.

One sequel that out does the original
26 February 2002 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I am not a big fan of sequels,as most of them disappoint,but T2 certainly does not.In fact,it's a rare case,at least in my opinion, of a sequel actually surpassing the original film in terms of greatness.As in 99.9% of his films,Arnold Schwarzenegger is the good guy once again,but you don't mind once you witness the incredible villain performance of Robert Patrick.This film is nothing short of a beginning to end thrill ride.Let us not forget the talents of Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong,who gave great supporting efforts.Thumbs up!
