Summary: HOW TO ACCESS THE THIRD VERSION
Review: Taken from (http://www.cheatgenius.co.uk):

From the [Main Menu] select the "Special Edition" version. On the next screen you'll see the Terminator with his right eye red. If you type in a special date (pressing [Enter] between each number) the phrase "The Future is Not Set" will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Then the Terminator's left eye will turn red and you will get the option to "Play Extended Special Edition" of the movie. The date to enter is 8/29/97. You have to enter the date at the right tempo. If you type it too fast or too slow it may not work.

Summary: Digital Rights Management (DRM) Issues
Review: I was about to buy this disk when I did some more research on high-definition DVDs and learned from a report from Sander Sassen of the Netherlands at the Hardware Analysis site that the high definition version of this disk requires (a) the installation of a separate piece of digital rights software, called Interactual Player, (b) an internet connection to the Interactual license server, and (c) an IP address that the license server believes is in the United States or Canada. And then the license you get is good only for four days. It is possible to get around issue (c) by using an anonymous proxy server in the United States, such as the proxy for free site.

In addition to the licensing requirements, the HD version requires Windows Media Player Version 9, which is included with Windows XP.

The movie, T2, is an absolute must see for any sci-fi fan, but you probably already knew that.

Summary: One Of The Best Terminator Films Ever Made!! LOVED IT!!
Review: James Cameron's ("The Terminator", "The Abyss", "True Lies" and of course "Titanic", which wasn't THAT good as to win 11 Oscars in 1997 [see my review on it]) excellent sequel to "The Terminator", which brought him immediate fame, is finally on DVD-and WHAT A DVD IT IS!! PACKED with the ULTIMATE IN SOUND (Digitally Mastered by THX, Dolby Surround EX 5.1 and Dolby Surround DTS 5.1) and picture quality (the widescreen format enhanced for 16X9 TV's) is the ULTIMATE in entertainment. Also the six plus hours of bonus features (deleted scenes, trailers, fascinating featurettes, documentaries, etc.) pulls out ALL the stops on this one. The "Special Edition" (which includes several scenes cut from the film's original release in 1991) and "Original Theatrical Version" (James Cameron's epic sequel as it was originally shown in theaters nationwide in 1991) are available here for comparison and to provide the viewer with the ULTIMATE home theater experience, bringing you James Cameron's original vision of this landmark film. "The Terminator" introduced us to Arnold Schwarzenegger as the indestructible killing machine...and made him and Cameron superstars. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" continues the story of Sarah and John Connor's fight against the machines. "Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines" is a worthy sequel to this movie, taking the story to its inevitable conclusion, promising another sequel, which I hope Arnold returns for. "Hasta La Vista, Baby" and "I'll Be Back" (featured in the first film) are classic lines from the movies which have permeated our everyday jargon. Rated PG-13 for violence and some language.

"The Terminator"

In the first installment of the series which would skyrocket Schwarzenegger and Cameron to fame, Arnold plays The Terminator, an unstoppable killing machine sent back through time. Michael Biehn ("Meggido," "Aliens," "The Abyss") plays Kyle Reese, a man sent back through time to 1984 L.A. to Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton, who would return for the 2nd movie, reviewed here) with a mission and message for her. Arnold, who was almost an unknown at the time, delivers a strong performance as the title character, the unstoppable killing cyborg sent to destroy both Sarah and-I'm not going to spoil it. Rated PG-13 for violence, language and brief sexuality/nudity.

TERMINATOR 3:RISE OF THE MACHINES

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the role that rocketed him to stardom-and eventually, "Governator" of California-to defend John Connor (this time played by Nick Stahl) and an old flame (Claire Danes) against a new Terminator-a woman (played with sexy murderous flare by Kristanna Loken (you're HOT, BABY). Rated PG-13 for violence and language.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: There are 3 versions of this movie on this DVD!!!!!
Review: There are three versions of this movie on this 2-disc DVD:
Theatrical Version
Special Edition
Extended Special Edition (Also known as the Orginial Uncut Version)

The extended special edition is an easter egg, and that is the version with 20 minutes of additional footage, not 16 minutes. It is extremely hard to get to. It contains a new ending and extra footage.

The new footage cut from the theatrical version is described below:

Chapter 10: Ain't no Trouble

This new scene shows two prison guards beating Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) up because she refuses to take her medicine. This scene was cut because it took a long time to shoot and she was getting very mad at one of the prison guards because he kept messing up and it took a total of 20 takes or something. She later got her revenge on him later in the movie.

Chapter 13: There is not much time left in the World

This is another scene that was cut from the theatrical release because this was something that made the film too long. But what is interesting about this new scene is that it has a character from the first movie, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) of whom was never in the theatrical version of Terminator 2. The scene is a dream scene, and it shows the two characters hugging and kissing, then Kyle walks away. Sarah chases him down the hallway, yelling "Kyle, don't go!" Then she goes through some double doors and ends up at a playground. Then, at the end of the scene, it shows the nuclear blast and then, Sarah wakes up from her dream.

Chapter 20

This is a new scene showing the T-1000 stealing a policeman's car after the explosion of the tow truck chase.

Chapter 24

This is a new scene of the T-1000 killing John Connor's dog, and finding out that The Terminator and John are aware of his whereabouts.

Chapter 37

New dialogue is added to this scene.

Chapter 38

This new scene is where the Terminator, John and Sarah open up and take out the Terminator's chip, therefore shutting him down. Then, Sarah knows she can't destroy the actual Terminator, but, she can destroy this little, fragile chip that is like the on/off switch for the Terminator. John stops her from trying to destroy the chip with a hammer. He convices her not to do it, and she finally listens to him. SO, she doesn't destroy the chip, and they put it back in the Terminator's skull. This scene was cut because this took about three months to film this one scene.

Chapter 39

This new scene is a scene when John teaches the Terminator how to smile. This scene is hilarious, because when thew Terminator tries to smile, it looks like he is smiling like a horse. This scene also has a new character for the movie, and the person is the woman John Connor (Edward Furlong) says "nice place you got here" and the new character, being the cashier (played by Nancy Fish) says, "gimme a break".

Chapter 41

This new scene introduces Miles Dyson (Joe Morton)'s family. It is a scene where it introduces another character to the movie, and that is Dyson's daughter, who was never seen in the thatrical version. This scene was cut because when Sarah tries to kill Dyson, and Dyson's son was available for shooting the film, but his daughter wasn't.

Chapter 43

This is an extended scene where additional dialogue between Sarah and her friend Enrique. And, the other part of the extended scene is John talking about how he lives, and it also show him handling large assault weapons. This scene was cut because Cameron did not want to show a kid handling large scale weapons.

Chapter 49

This extended scene has additonal dialogue of the Terminator and John talking to each other while the Terminator drives to the Dyson house.

Chapter 50

This extended scene shows Sarah stalking Dyson.

Chapter 55

This new scene shows Dyson, Sarah and the Terminator destroying all of Dyson's equipment.

Chapter 67

This is an extended scene showing the T-1000 malfunctioning.

Chapter 75

This is an extended scene of which there are two Sarahs, yet one of them is the real Sarah. This extended scene shows which one is the real Sarah and the fake Sarah. What it shows is that the fake Sarah (the T-1000)'s feet are also malfunctioning, so that is how John could tell beteween the two.

SCENES ONLY IN EXTENDED SPECIAL EDITION

These two scenes are very hard to see, so here is a description.

Chapter 24

This is the uncut sequence of the T-1000 at John's foster parents' home. The added footage shows the T-1000 searching John's room.

Chapter 79

This is the orginial ending for Terminator 2. It is set in the year 2029 and it shows a much older Sarah, now being 64; and a much older John, playing with his daugher at a playground. It also shows Sarah speaking into a voice recorder.
