Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, Xander Berkeley, Edward Furlong, Linda Hamilton
Trivia: When the biker stubs his cigar out on the Terminator's chest, Arnie's protection was only a small block and piece of fake skin the size of a dime, so the actor had to be very careful to avoid burning him.
Continuity mistake: When Sarah Connor throws the keys to a male orderly to distract him, Dr. Silberman is standing right behind him. Two shots later, we see the doctor several feet away. The time lapse between the two shots was only one or two seconds. (00:56:25)
Factual error: The truck that the T-1000 uses to try and run down John in the overspill, is a Freightliner FLA 9664, which uses a diesel engine - it does not use petrol. Diesel is much harder to combust in comparison to petrol/gasoline, and the spark from the battery cables on the spilt diesel would absolutely never ignite under those circumstances. (00:37:55)
Dr. Silberman: You broke my arm!
Sarah Connor: There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one.
Trivia: The minigun that the Terminator (Arnie) uses in the Cyberdyne scene was so heavy that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the only person on set strong enough to lift it.
Suggested correction: In one of the special features on the Blu-ray version, director James Cameron can be seen holding and shooting the minigun, while saying: "Arnold's gonna love this."
Question: Does anyone know what game John Connor was playing in the arcade when the T-1000 found him?
Chosen answer: He's initially playing Missile Command, then he goes to play After Burner.
