The version shown on the Sci-fi channel deleted the T's nudity and edited out the profanity quite well. All though it left the spike impalement scenes in it deleted the scene where the T stabs the biker and breaks his arm.
In the storyboards section on the Ultimate Edition DVD, there is evidence of an early scripted scene. Set right in the beginning of the movie, it shows various battle scenes of the war until in one of them, a terminator who is aiming his gun at a soldier suddenly shuts down we see the red glow in his eye fading out , as do the others and the several hoverships and tanks.
This early draft actually described soldiers penetrating skynet and destroying it, finding the terminator factory with many terminators in both skeleton and disguised form Arnold's , and eventually sending both Kyle Reese and the reprogammed T good Arnold back to the past.
The Australian theatrical release of T2 contained many of the scenes that would eventually make it onto the special edition. These included the dream sequence with Reese but not Sarah being beaten up by the guards and the malfunctioning of the T in the steel works factory and even the alternate ending with Sarah as an older woman and John with a child of his own playing in the park.
However the rental video release and subsequent home video releases were all the standard version. The British Board of Film Classification initially requested some cuts before they could pass the film with a 15 certificate in the UK.
For the cinema version, the following edits were made to what they deemed to be "heavy and realistic violence": The blows delivered to the security guard by Sarah with the wooden broom handle were reduced from four to one; the subsequent blows and shots of his bloodied face were removed. The beating of Silberman with a nightstick was reduced so that only the impact to his arm remained; the impact to the back of his legs was removed.
The initial VHS video versions the theatrical cut and the 'T edition' were cut by a further 18 seconds to reduce the following scenes: The biker being thrown onto the stove. In the uncut version, this happens in two shots. In the cut version, the start of each shot was shortened. The biker being stabbed in the shoulder. The shot of him lying on the table was shortened at the start to remove the impact this is very subtle and difficult to notice.
Sarah picking the lock on her door. The shot was shortened at the start to remove the insertion of the paperclips; what remained showed her wiggling the already-inserted paperclips in the lock. Lewis being stabbed in the face by the T The close-up showing him juddering in pain was shortened at the start, with the rest being slowed down to cover the missing footage before this compromise, the BBFC initially requested that an alternate take be used, which didn't exist.
The guard at the hospital gate being shot in the legs by the T was reduced so that he's only shot once, instead of twice as per the uncut version.
Both gunshots are contained in a single camera shot, which was shortened at the start in the cut version. During the rescue of Sarah, the warden having his face slammed against the wall by the T was removed. The close-up showing him traveling towards and slamming into the wall was shortened at the end to remove the impact. The sight of the policeman having his face slammed into a concrete pillar by the T was removed.
The kneecapping of the S. The theatrical cut of Terminator 2 describes the T as an "advanced prototype," but the character seems to have absolutely no physical weaknesses except the ability to be melted in a steel mill at the end of the film. For some reason, Cameron sought to chuck out any scenes showing the T slowly coming apart at the seams. These scenes manifest immediately after the T is frozen in liquid nitrogen and shattered into pieces.
When it reconstitutes itself, audiences watch as the T begins glitching. This is the first time fans got to see that the advanced prototype in question was exactly that - a prototype prone to bugs and defects.
Still, he's one of the coolest villains ever to grace a movie screen. The original ending for Terminator 2 was very much the way Sarah Connor's voiceover described earlier - as a black highway at night. The audience is left to wonder if their actions at CyberDyne and the destruction of the Terminator were enough to avert Judgment Day and the horrors to follow. The Director's Cut makes it very clear that the future has indeed changed.
Judgment Day has been averted, and humanity has been ushered into a new and prosperous age with Sarah looking on as a proud grandmother. The Director's Cut cannot be considered canon due to the events which take place in the highly convoluted and nonsensical Terminator: Dark Fate , and that's a shame. Every sequel following Terminator 2 has been a problematic letdown , with each one getting progressively worse.
Cameron's Director's Cut was his perfect wrap-up of the franchise he helped create. It told its story and sent it off with a salute that shut the door on the sequel concepts. For many fans, Terminator 1 and 2 represent the "official" story, and the Director's Cut of T2 drives that point home admirably.

By Derek Draven Published Nov 14, The brief sight of one of them sexually abusing her in the theatrical cut sufficiently explains her anger.
The dream turns into a nightmare, through a brilliant transition that takes us from the dull hospital corridor to a bright green park in one take, as Sarah has to once again face the inevitability of nuclear holocaust. In the theatrical version, a quick ADR line has the T state that he already has this capability.
In the Special Edition, John and Sarah have to deactivate the T in order to remove a chip that inhibits his ability to learn. This scene gives her doubts and fears more development. This scene is fairly unnecessary, as the brief moment in the theatrical version that shows Dyson with his family serves the same purpose. Verdict: As much as these scenes add to the Terminator lore, I think the perfectly paced theatrical version is still the way to go for newcomers.
