Synopsis:

This creates a hybrid of the heavily cut theatrical version and the bloated Special Edition. Some of the badly placed humor was cut to make T2 closer to the original Terminator film.

Intentions:

To make a hybrid of the heavily cut theatrical version and the bloated Special Edition, as well as cut some of the badly placed humor to make T2 closer to the original Terminator film.

Change List:

-Cut “Bad to the Bone”. Almost a dead giveaway that Arnie is good this time. Without it, the T-800 still seems dangerous, at least until he tells John to duck. -Cut Sarah getting force fed her medication. A pacing cut if anything. -Trimmed Sarah’s first nightmare. Dissolve to white just as she exits the corridor so that we don’t actually see the playground. I feel that should be reserved for the second nightmare. Description still afterwards. -Cut T-1000 getting another police car. He drove to the mall in one, he doesn’t need to swipe another one. -Cut Terminator bashing the pay phone for quarters. Robohumor. -Cut Terminator standing on one leg. Robohumor. -Cut “Why?” exchange. John now realizes the pointlessness of arguing with a robot, especially one that will do everything you say. -Cut Smile scene. Robohumor. -Cut Raging Waters. Focus stays on the Conners, as it should. -Cut Terminator staying under the speed limit. John gave him an order to speed up, shouldn’t he speed up?
