Random Trivia For This Title: - According to a biographical documentary, Arnold SchwarzeneggerArnold Schwarzenegger only agreed to do the sequel if his role is more family-friendly, hence the "No killing" rule written for his character.
- The original script did not call for the top of the truck to be ripped off during the chase through the storm drain beside/beneath the freeway, but when they arrived on location they found that the cab wouldn't fit under the overpass so director James CameronJames Cameron decided that the roof was going to have to come off.
- For the sound of T-1000 passing through metal bars, Rydstom simply inverted an open can of dog food and recorded the close-packed food as it oozed slowly out.
- John Connor wears a t-shirt promoting 80's rap group Public Enemy. Public Enemy's DJ was named Terminator X.
- SFX crew had to incorporate Robert PatrickRobert Patrick's football-injury limp in their animation of the T1000. Next, they filmed the stuff with the T1000 pretending to be driving from the right-hand steering wheel (wearing a mirror-image police uniform), while the real driver was hidden under a black hood at the lowered real steering wheel. For the final film, the scenes were flipped left-to-right to make it all look right, and combined with footage shot with a normal truck driving in the drain. This was done so that Patrick could concentrate on acting rather than driving. They accidentally caught a street sign; after they mirror-imaged the scene, they digitally reversed the text on the sign so it would appear correct.
- Linda HamiltonLinda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton GearrenLeslie Hamilton Gearren was used as a double in scenes involving two "Sarah Connors" (i.e., when the T1000 was imitating her), and in a scene not in the theatrical release (but on the DVD) as a mirror image of Linda.
- Most of Edward FurlongEdward Furlong's voice had to be re-dubbed by Furlong again in post-production because it changed during shooting. His young voice is left intact only in the scene where he and Terminator are talking about why people cry, because James CameronJames Cameron wanted it to sound dramatic and thought it was better if left intact.
- Arnold SchwarzeneggerArnold Schwarzenegger's young daughter screamed the first time she saw her father's face made-up to show the robotics appearing underneath the skin tissue.
- The Terminator loses its left arm, and hauls itself forward with its right. The same thing happened to the Terminator in The Terminator.
- The Terminator says "I need a vacation", which Arnold SchwarzeneggerArnold Schwarzenegger previously said in Kindergarten Cop. This was not in the script, but ad-libbed.
- Michael BiehnMichael Biehn was the first choice for the role of the T-1000, in a complete reversal of roles with Arnold SchwarzeneggerArnold Schwarzenegger, who was now a hero. But this idea was abandoned as it was judged too confusing for viewers.
- It took two takes to get the van crashing into the Cyberdyne lobby, and they sprayed adhesive onto the floor to stop the van from skidding too much.
