Random Movie Trivia - T2

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

Terminator 2: Judgement Day
  • Robert Patrick has a slight limp due to an old football injury and when making the CGI T-1000, the special effects crew had to incorporate that into the animation.
  • Charlie Korsmo, the kid from Hook, was offered the part of John Conner but turned it down to be in the Bill Murray comedy, What About Bob?.  Frankly, anyone would have been better than Edward Furlong.
  • In the final fight, there is a scene where the T-1000 disguises itself as Sarah Conner and tries to trick John Conner, but the real Sarah Conner shows up.  Well, no CGI or green screens were used for this shot because Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie, played one of the Sarah Conners.
  • A lot of the film shot was scraped because Edward Furlong hit puberty pretty hard during production and he even had to re-dub most of his lines because his voice changed so dramatically.  The only scene not re-dubbed was the scene where he explains to the Terminator why people cry because James Cameron wanted it to be more dramatic.
  • In Arnold Schwarzenegger's first scene in the biker bar, a female passer-by wandered into the bar not knowing that filming was going on and when she saw Arnold in only boxer shorts, she asked him what he was doing to which he replied "It's Male Stripper Night".
  • For the scene where John Conner and Arnold break Sarah Hamilton out of the mental hospital, the building used had a fake sign outside that said "Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Disordered".  When local citizens saw this, they quickly organized a protest until they were told it was for a movie, apologized, and quickly left.
  • John Conner's foster parent's last name was Voight meaning if he had taken their name his full name would have been John Voight, aka Angelina Jolie's daddy.
  • This is the only sequel to have won an Academy Award when the original wasn't even nominated.
