Trivia:
For filming the TX arriving scene Kristanna Loken spent one night naked. During the filming a glass piece stuck under her leg due to walking barefoot on the street. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the T-X POV shot where she examines Jose Barrerra's retina and name tag, his surname on the tag is spelled differently from how it is in the T-X's POV. (This may not be an error, however, as nametags often get misprinted. Ask any employee of a cheap chain store/restaurant.) more
Quotes:
[first lines]
John Connor: [voiceover] The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming...

Why is John's character so different from the intrepid youngster in T2?
Was Edward Furlong ever tested for this sequel, and if so, at what point did his starring in it no longer become reality?
In the beginning narration, John says he was 13 in "Terminator 2." How can this be?

It broke my heart, 19 January 2004
4/10
Author: Caixa Postal (caixapostal) from Sao Paulo, Brazil

The Terminator is a character idolized by thousands of people around the world. The imagery - along with unconscious symbols - made this character an icon for generations.

Jim Cameron ingenuity (with the help of Bill Wisher) gave us two movies that complement each other, folding the story in ways ever more interesting each time you watch them.

Action packed, fun and original. We helped spread the word on Terminator mythology.

How come a movie studio using their rights to use a character build up such a opportunity-jackpot-halfbaked popcorn movie just to make cash out of loyalty of this huge fan base?

I felt betrayed and sad when I saw this (God permits) last installment on this sequel. What have they done to my robot?

What did they do with my movie?
