Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe studios had long wanted to make a sequel to the previous Terminator films, but for a long time Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to do it unless James Cameron was directing. Cameron eventually told his friend to "just do it and ask for a shit-load of money," reasoning that the character was as much Schwarzenegger's as it was his. Schwarzenegger confirmed this in a talk-show interview, saying that when he asked, Cameron told him to "take the money and run".
- Goofs(at around 30 mins) Having control of a vehicle's computer would not allow the car to be driven remotely, as the steering is completely mechanical (even power steering), and although some modern cars have a computer controlled throttle (not the cars in the movie though), the pedal would not depress (same goes for the brakes, clutch and gears).
- Quotes
Terminator: Katherine Brewster? Have you sustained injury?
Kate Brewster: Drop dead, you asshole!
Terminator: I am unable to comply.
- Crazy creditsDuring the initial opening credits, a wind can be heard blowing in the background.
- Alternate versionsThe German TV version was edited for violence to gain a 'Not Under 12' rating. The cinema, and video versions are rated 'Not Under 16'.

Featured review
Really underrated.
I feel this movie gets a lot more hate than it deserves. Sure it may not be as good as the second one, and let's face it it's hard to top T2. But that doesn't make this a bad film. I actually like how John Connor is portrayed in this. Sure he's a bit whiny and a bit of a coward, but that's because he has not grown yet into the person he will be. He's unsure, and full of doubt. He has to grow.
And this movie has one of the best movie trailers I've ever seen!
