John Connor becomes president
T1000 is shown as having flaws

Thats pretty much it. Can you buy them for download somewhere?

As far as I remember, most of the extra half hour is spent developing the relationship between John Connor and the T-800 when they're hiding out in the desert. If you like the film, it's more of it, useless as that might sound to you.

The extended edition has one amazing addition (in the garage in the desert) and a quite a few nice T-1000 moments. It's worth having, but I prefer the original cut.

A word of warning... A lot of the violence has been removed from the extended edition. I'm hanging onto my original video for that. Mostly peoples heads being bounced off walls in the escape from the hospital.

I have the extended edition and I really like it. Some of the pieces taken out make the original a touch darker.

But there is one scene in the garage where they are repairing and taking the bullets out of Arnie that is just pure class. Makes me wonder why the didn't put it in!

Don't forget the dream sequence folks:
The one with Kyle Reese from the original. It was removed so the film could stand alone from Terminator if people hadn't seen it
. That was my fave addition. The garage scene was excelent if it's the one I'm thinking about. Been a while. The alternate ending that's an extra in the version I have with an old Sarah Conor was pretty crap though. Much prefer the ending used. There other extra scenes focused a little more on the T1000, showing him tracking John Conor down, etc

Right...

Well then my original question was...

My original VHS of T2 (a double pack with The Terminator) contains scenes that weren't in either my VHS of the extended edition or my DVD (Ultimate Edition). Specifically violence to the head in the hospital just before the T-1000 comes through the bars, and again in the underground carpark when Arnie pulls the guy out of the car and knocks his head against the pillar. Are those cuts present on the newer release of T2?

So whats this scene in the garage then?
Sounds like ill just get the original edition. T2 is 1 of the best films ever i reckon, T3 is complete tripe.

the scene in the garage
The T-800 is slightly after their daring escape from the t-1000, so he enlists the aid of John and Sarah Conner to repair the damage, this involves a chunk of his head being opened up and him being deactivated, via removing his main CPU while john is flicking whatever little switches that need flicking Sarah takes the main CPU and goes to smash it with a hammer. Now I cant actully remember if John stops her or she resists the urge but they pop it back in and arnie comes back to life unaware at how close he came to being permanantly deactivated.

not 100% accurate but thats the jist of it. I purposely took a lighthearted tone to the explanation because it is a much more AWE-inspiring moment in the film and needs to be perserved as such.

I had the tin-box-set DVD, whatever edition that was, and I remember a ton of extra stuff, most of which was worth seeing as a fan of the movie (several of these scenes are described above). Check the 'alternate versions' thingy on imdb for a breakdown.

What do you mean 'violence to the head in the hospital'? All I've ever seen is Arnie beating the crap out of the orderlies trying to recapture Sarah and the doctor standing out of the way against the wall...

I'm pretty sure the ultimate edition DVD has everything, mate. The old VHS tapes rated 15 were actually cut to avoid an 18 - cuts that were waived for the DVD release.

Ahh the scene where
Sarahs having the judgement day dream in the desert. The playground, the buildings, the cataclysmic explosion, the skin peeling and the hanging fence skeleton.

Best scene evar! I got it the other night based on this thread. The garage scene is fairly deadly too. Speckle effects way ahead of its time. The part where the T-1000 starts to fuse with the aluminium is crazy.

"Whatcha do that for?"
"Because you told me to!!":cool:

The violence that is missing from my Ultimate Edition DVD involves the woman with the crap haircut being thrown across the room (shot is shortened), one of the orderlys having his head rammed against a wall (contact with wall removed) and the guy who is pulled out of the car in the carpark having his head rammed against the wall (contact with wall removed). They're not present on my 15's rated Ultimate Edition DVD, but are on my The Terminator/Terminator 2 VHS Double Pack, which is rated 18's. It could be that they put an uncut version onto the tape since it was going to get the higher rating anyway, but the fact remains that there are shots of violence on my VHS that are not on my DVD.
