• In the beginning of the movie when The Terminator (Arnold) asks the biker for his clothes and bike, the biker burns a hole into The Terminator's chest leaving a nasty mark. When the camera changes angle the cigar burn is gone only to reappear in the next shot. (TV/VHS) - Webmaster

• When the T-1000 mutates into the young boy's foster mother, and his left arm becomes a saber: at the end of the film when he "rewinds" through the various mutations in the death scene, the opposite arm is the saber.

• When Linda Hamilton invades Joe Morton's house. She has him at gunpoint next to the coffee table, and every time it flashes to Morton, the magazines are placed differently -- at one point they're scattered, the next they're stacked, and then they're scattered again.

• When the Terminator punches the phone to get the change, you can see in the scene before that, that the phone is already smashed. - imelda

• When Arnold jumps down with his bike into the canal you can see that from the above the edge is pointy, but when you see it from below it's broad. - Shakudu

• When the T-1000 is driving the semi and the top gets ripped off, the windshield is clearly gone as well. However, only moments later, he knocks the windshield off himself. - Jim M

• When the T-1000 drives the truck off the road into the canal to chase John, the windshield can be clearly seen falling off the truck (in slow-mo, no less). In the next shot, it miraculously appears back on the truck. - Clay Loomis

• When the T-1000 is driving the cop motorcycle up the stairs you can clearly see that the tires change from street tires to off road tires. - chris and neil

• Now this is hard to spot and you may need to use slo-mo, but when Arnold is firing a grenade round at a police car from the skynet building, a police officer that is running from the car disappears! I think they stop the film so the actor would not get hurt. - David

• After the T-800 gets his arm torn off, you can see Arnie's real arm under some kind of black nylon. - David

• In the bar scene Arnie gets stabbed with a knife that bends for a split second, and then is shown stabbing deep into Arnie. - David

• When Arnie throws the biker on to the stove you can see little devices that shoot out steam to make it look like he's getting burned. - David

• When the T-1000 opens the elevator and gets shot in the head, you can see that his was already split before getting shot. - David

• When the T-1000 walks through the bars, the gap between the bars change sizes. - David

• The T-1000 passes the guy in charge of the mental hospital twice, one time running, another time shooting. - David

• When Arnold grabs the shotgun from the biker, his left(?) hand lets go of it, and suddenly his left hand is back on it again. - David

• In one scene John puts his backpack straps on his shoulders three times. - David

• Sarah shoots a police car windshield, and then steals it with the Terminator. Later, the bullet hole is gone. - David

• In the beginning when Arnold is approaching the road house, naked, he is scanning the cars and the motor bikes, as he scans he gets all the info on what he is looking at, what is supposed to be a Ford Crown Victoria, his computer says it is Plymouth Sedan! - Jeff Thundercracker

• In a scene in the hospital a female security guard hits Arnold in the face breaking his glasses, he then grabs her face and pushes her down the hall in front of the same door that the T-1000 walks through, they show the T-1000 approach the door from a distance so you can clearly see the guard on the floor in front of the door, when the T-1000 gets through the door he starts to run down the hallway toward Arnold, you can clearly see that the guard is gone, they make a quick cut to Arnold then they cut back to the T-1000 and you can clearly see the guard is back on the floor. - The Movie Master

• Early in the movie when John and the Terminator are together John starts screaming for help. When the two guys come over the Terminator tries to shoot one. John deflects Terminator's arm and tells him to "put the gun down". When John picks the .45 semi auto up the hammer is still cocked, as it should be. When the Terminator takes it from him the hammer is down. When Terminator tucks the .45 in his belt the hammer is cocked again. - Allen

• When the Terminator plucks John off of his moped and places him on the the Terminator's bike, you can see a fat looking stunt driver driving the truck behind them when John is lifted in the air. Robert Patrick should be driving that truck. - steel flesh

• Green Padding is visible when T-1000 spikes Todd Voight.

• John is on his "parents" yard accelerating his moped, he turns it to full throttle, but RPMs are high just for a while. That thing has been botrhering me for years, but now I have an opportunity to tell it to you, thanks! - Miserable

• In the scene where John is being chased by the Terminator on his bike you can hear John change gears about a bizillion times, even though it's obvious he is not really changing them... - Ivan

• When the T-1000 tells the police helicopter pilot "Get out", and he obliges. As he falls he slams the door behind him, yet the T-1000 leans over to shut it anyway. - Danny B

• I know everyone sees this... Why does a great special effect movie like T2 have that lame car background??? When Ahnold is driving the cop car with his night vision, the background looks like something out of a 1932 movie. - 1fastformula

• In the scene when the T-1000's truck crashes of the bridge (when he's chasing John) you can clearly see the right front wheel of the truck buckle. In the next scene, it is a new truck, as it would be impossible to drive on a buckled wheel. - eduardo09

• The scene where Sarah and the others are destroying property at Skynet... Sarah makes a statement about blowing-up property at the same time the "CPR" would be destoyed... I believe she meant to say, "CPU"??? - TeddyBear

• When Sarah Connor sneakes out and beats up the hall monoter she hits him in the face and makes him bleed then he lands face first on the floor but when she drags him into her room you don't see blood on the floor because it would have dripped on the floor and spread when she draged him but it didn't. (VHS) - colt parker

• I know this is a geeky techno point, but any large company, e.g. Cyberdyne, is going to have off site backups of all their computer data in a veeeery safe place. Sarah et. al. would have to find those backup tapes and destroy them as well or all their destruction is for naught. Maybe that's why John doesn't disappear in the end? - Jumpback

• Dyson walks into a 'clean room' without suiting up. The security guard is also unsuited! - The Joker

• When Arnie & the gang are in a small truck being pursued by the T-1000, who's driving a big ass truck. You can clearly see the stunt driver wearing a cardboard cutout of Arnie's face. - Vladimir

• (Revealing mistakes) In the scene where the swat team shoot at Arnie in the Cyberdyne lobby, there are visible unexploded squibs (bullet hits) on the wall before they start shooting. (DVD) - Asteroceras

• (Continuity) When the T-1000 tortures Sarah, Arnie approaches from behind and cuts the T-1000 with a stab into two pieces. When the T-1000 turns around he pushes Arnie and the stab away. Then he takes a second stab out of his body. Where is that one from? - Filip

• (Revealing mistakes) In the scene where Sarah is escaping from the looney bin, she runs around a corner away from the T-800 and on the floor is a "L" shaped black mark, looks like they forgot to remove the gaff tape used for actor marks. - iodizedsalt

• (Continuity) In the first movie, when the T-800 endo-skeleton gets crushed in the hydraulic press at the factory, the right arm is sticking out, preserved from harm. But in T2, the left arm is the one at the Cyberdyne company. - Dragonfly

Debated Goofs

• When Ah-nold is shooting the cop cars with the mini-gun from the cyberdine building; the ammo belt to the gun is not moving. - mikestratz@aol.com
  • Correction: It does. What you saw was the ammo feeder, this feeds the bullets into the gun. If you look closely, you will see that the bullets inside the ammo feeder are indeed moving. - David
    • Correction: Bull Crap! You said the bullet belt is moving look closely and you will see it is definitely not, and if you are still not satisfied think about the amount of time it takes him to shoot the cops and how fast the bullets are being fired, now the bullet belt is NOT moving dummy. - john
      • Comment: This is to our polite friend John. Good sir, please watch the film again. The mini gun is equipped with a bullet feeder. This helps feed the bullets into the gun so they will not get tangled or jammed. The bullet feeder looks like a chain of bullets, but it is not. If one looks closely they will see that in the middle of the bullet feeder there are bullets and they are indeed moving. Good day sir. - David
        • Comment: Indeed... You see the same thing with the minigun used by Blaine and Mac in "Predator"... You see the bullet feeder that LOOKS like a bullet belt, but is a bullet FEEDER. - Hempman
          

• When the Terminator rescues John he said that the T-1000 can only transform into a human if the human had been killed, but later in the movie the T-1000 transforms into a security guard and Sarah when they were still alive! Weird! - Dr. Crawford
  • At one point John says: "You're telling me that this thing can imitate anything it touches!?" and The Terminator doesn't deny it. The question is did the T-1000 touch them?
  • Comment: The T-1000 never touched John; however, John touched a piece of the T-1000, which was later assimilated back into the T-1000's body. (This was when the T-1000 was hanging on the back of the car, and had his arm (actually, a hook at this point) shot off. John grabbed the piece of the T-1000 stuck in the car, and threw it into the road.) - Joel
  • Comment: The T-1000 has to touch the object that it wants to replicate. It does NOT have to kill the subject. When John asked Arnold what happens to the person, Arnold replies, "They are terminated." My interpretation is that the T-1000 kills the person for efficiency, and to prevent the real person from interfering with it's plan. Think about this logically: what possible mechanism could account for the T-1000 only being able to replicate someone when they died? The touching makes sense, but not the death part as a requirement. So if he stabs me through the stomach, and I crawl into the next room, he can't impersonate me until I've bled to death an hour later? At that instant he is able to become me, but not before? Given that he imitated a live Sarah Connor, I think this interpretation makes the most sense, and suggests that this is not a goof. - Natrone Fett
  • Correction: People being copied are not always killed ... Arnold says, "TYPICALLY the subject being copied is terminated." - Chris

• When T-2 (Arnold) jumps with his bike into the canal, freeze the frame when he lands and you can see that it's not him but some guy wearing an Arnold mask. - tochi
  • Comment: What kind of a goof is it, when you have to freeze the frame to see that the actor is substituted for a stuntman in a dangerous scene? The movies are movies, not the reality! - Olav Westerman
    • Correction: You don't really have to freeze the frame to see it, just look at it very carefully and you'll see it. Another thing, I know that it's only a movie but they could have shot it at a different angle to at least partially cover the mask. - tochi

Commented Goofs

• Sarah Connor says that there are 215 bones in the human body. The correct count is 206.
  • Comment: I don't see that as a mistake because how would her character know that. She's no doctor. It's not like most people know that. The average person such as a character like that wouldn't know that. - Adam
    • If Sarah doesn't know the exact number of bones in the human body why does she state that there are 215 of them? If she doesn't know the exact number she should say "over 200". By stating a detailed number, we assume she knows it's a true fact, when it in fact is all wrong. This might not be a movie goof, but surely makes Sarah look a bit silly.

• When Sarah Connor invades Joe Morton's house, he gets shot in the back of the shoulder, but when the Terminator say "Hold here, the pressure should stop the bleeding." Joe's wife puts her hand on the front of Joe's shoulder. - Nicko
  • Comment: Why does everyone keep saying Sarah invaded Joe Mortons home? The guy who made the Terminator was called Miles Bennet Dyson! - mr.dark
    • Joe Morton plays the role of Miles Bennet Dyson. Some people also call the Terminator "Arnold". Aparently the line between fiction and fact is very thin.

• In the beginning of the movie, when the T-1000 kills the police officer, he (T-1000) takes the cops gun and clothes. But whenever the T-1000 gets shot in the movie the bullet holes heal themselves as the T-1000 heals himself. If the T-1000 took the clothes and didn't morph into them, then the bullet holes should not dissapear, right? - YoungJoizy
  • Comment: Why would he take the clothes? He was a shape-shifter, he could make his body look like he was wearing some. Besides, later in the movie he does exactly that. Why would he take the cloths of just one victim when it's obvious he doesn't actually need them? - igore

• As Sarah Connor runs barefoot down a hospital corridor, the sound effect is that of feet wearing shoes.
  • Comment: That statement is definitely debatable.

Corrected Goofs

• This one is similar to mikestratz' goof in the original Terminator, and it makes me a bit dizzy thinking about such things, but anyway... When Sarah invades Morton's house, and eventually he finds out what the future will bring after the discovery of {the original Terminator technology} that he has in his safe, he vows not to produce (whatever) from this. Now that he knows the future, and these things are not going to be made, then the device that he has should disappear, because it never existed, because it was never invented, so he would go ahead and make it anyway, because he doesn't know about it, and ... round and round it goes. Basically, he knows about it because it was made, but because he knows about it, it doesn't get made. Understand? It's kind of complicated, this time travel stuff... - Scotiascot
  • Correction: That's called a paradox, but anyways even he doesn't invent it himself, what stops anyone else from continuing his work? And usually the future doesn't affect the past, meaning if he invents it or not, the arm and chip they already have. That doesn't mean the arm and chip will disappear. - CBStryker

• At the end, Sarah says that the unknown future lies ahead and she faces it for the first time with a sense of hope. How could this be? She is now wanted for blowing up Skynet, is now the ONLY one suspect left to hold responsible for the shootings of the cops, destruction of state property (pescadero), technically responsible for the death of Miles Dyson, and so on. The only hope I see in her future is a straight jacket. Hmm, could I be wrong? - angel
  • Correction: Angel said that Sarah would be going to jail and maybe even to the Insane Asylum. But when you think about it, this may not even happen because no there a count less witness that saw the Terminator, like Dr Silberman, The police officers he shot, and so on. So now her story is believable. - Chubb's

• If the first film was set in 1984, and Sarah has her baby after that, how come John is ten in the year 1991 when T2 was made? Shouldn't he be 7 or 8? - Timmeh
  • Correction: Movies don't always have to take place in the year the were made, look at sc-fi movies some were made in the 1970's but they take place in years like 2029. - Chubb's
  • Correction: When the T-1000 looks up John's details on the Police Car's computer at the beginning, it say's he was born on 28/Feb/85 (9 months after the first one - May '84) and he is 10 years old. That must make the year setting of the film 1995, not when it was made in 1991. - Choky

• In the scene where Arnold first appears in the 'present' time, when he appears naked in the truck yard, you see the tires and rim of the truck are cut in half (the tires are still inflated!) the weight of the truck would crush the tires and the rims since they are cut in half, and the axle isn't even supporting the rim, so the truck is 'floating'!! - Mr Tragedy
  • Correction: If you look carefully, when the camera pans around the truck yard, you can see that the trailer has TWO sets of wheels at the back, so it wouldn't move. It still doesn't explain why the tyres didn't melt, though! - The Joker

• When John throws the arm and microchip into the molten steal he prevented the future, where the machines ruled from ever happening. By doing this he would have never been born, because he sent Kyle in the first movie to save his mother from the first robot, was later conceived and born between the two moveis. To make it a little more simple. No robots= no Kyle= no John. - SilentbobMTD
  • Correction: Remember when Arnie and Robert are fighting at the steel mill? Arnie's arm is crushed and ripped off. I don't remember it being thrown in the steel... - The Joker
    • Correction: Yes the arm was thrown in the steel, right after the microchip. However, it didn't burn when it fell in like the microchip did. Even though arnold says it would. It just splashed. Even when arnold went in the steel, I have my doubts that it was his entire body bursting aflame, I think it was just the skin and cloths. At the end it shows him deactivating, but he can still see, perhaps it is just the microchip which can't survive. There is supposed to be a third terminator movie coming out soon. I think that the guy who asked Miles where the chip came from at the beginning of the movie is somehow involved. Perhaps he finds out or steals the prototypes blueprints before the explosion, or maybe the government has a second set. - tallteen2
      • Comment: Wasn't that the arm they stole from Cyberdyne? If so, then the arm that was torn off in the gears while chasing T-1000 is still there... - JBone
    • Correction: It was the arm from the 1984 terminator that was thrown in, so, the crushed arm does survive. Also, the endoskeleton, including the 1984 arm would melt slowly, not burn. - Asterocera
• The arm/chip security guard at asks Dyson how his wife and KIDS are. We only see Danny. If he does have a daughter that we don't see (except in the special edition) why does he only tell his wife to 'just take danny and GO!' when he is being shot at!? - The Joker
  • Correction: Dyson's wife tells Danny to 'go to bed like your sister', even in the normal theatrical cut. This also tells us why we don't see the sister (she is in bed). (DVD) - Asteroceras

Explained Goofs

• The T-1000 when alone in the helicopter chasing the police van, uses one arm to hold his gun and another to load it. Suddenly a third hand emerges between his legs to fly the helicopter.
  • Explanation: Well, there's an explanation for this one: The T-1000 can mutate it self to almost anything, right? Then it surely is capable of growing a third hand.
