In one scene, the police shows Sarah a picture of Arnie taken from a surveillance camera at a police station in 1984. But in that picture, Arnie has the same haircut as in the rest of the film. In the first Terminator film, Arnie has longer hair and a different haircut. [In the first film during the police station sequence, Arnold did have shorter hair. He cut it himself after reparing his eye and arm.]
When Arnie rescues Sarah who is under gunfire from the office, look closely after they start to walk off from the hole in the wall, you can can see someone walk past the hole in the wall. [The only person seen jumping past the hole in the wall is John Connor, who was actually a character in the movie; not a crew member.]
Towards the end of the movie when the T-1000 is in the tanker truck chasing John, Arnie, and Sarah, Arnie fires his grenade launcher and all the bullet does is dent the grill work on the tanker truck. [The grenade launcher Arnie is firing is an m79. The rounds for them only arm themselves after 19 metres or so of flight.]
Sarah Connor is in the maximum security wing of a mental hospital, and she picks the lock of her cell with a paperclip. What sort of maximum security is this? The Escape At Your leisure kind? Why on earth is there a keyhole on the inside of the door? [To allow orderlies and workers to exit with the keys they carry.]
If John Connor is only 10, why is he allowed to own and ride a motorcycle without the police saying or doing anything? [One, John looks much older than his ten years, so any cop that saw him might believe he was old enough to ride the bike legally. Two, who says the police never say or do anything? We know that John has already had several brushes with the law; the bike is just another example.]
Miles Dyson gets shot in the shoulder by Sarah Connor in his house. In the Special Edition DVD, he picks up an axe (with his good arm) and swings it pretty hard to destroy the CPU he had been working on. This would be nearly impossible since he was in so much pain from his other shoulder being shot. [Maybe. Except he was running on adrenaline by then, and would also have really wanted to go after the symbol that has caused him so much frustration over the past years. Also, he would understandably have quite a bit of rage towards it after the Terminator revealed what would happen in the future. Pain is only temporary.]
In Terminator 1, when the Cyborgs land in our time, they land on falt ground with the area around them virtually unaffected. But in T2, a large fireball of sorts forms around them, making the ground curved underneath them. [It depends EXACTLY where they materialise. They always come in a spherical fireball thing, but, for example, in the first movie Micheal Biehn is transported to a location about 20 feet in the air (a botched job perhaps?) so can't burn a hole in the ground, whereas part of Arnie's sphere in the second movie does touch the ground, so leaves an impression.]

When Sarah takes the broken broomstick and hits the psycho-ward guard in the face, you see a large amount of blood come out of his mouth and spray back. When she starts dragging him into the empty cell, there is no blood on the floor. [The blood only shows up as a reflective streak on the floor, because of the angle of the light, and the colour isn't obvious, but there is definitely blood on the floor as she starts to drag him away. The floor seems pretty clean when she comes out again, but the blood could have been wiped away as she dragged the body over it.]

When the orderlies are trying to restrain Sarah in the hallway Arnold comes along to rescue her. How does no one see a big man dress in black leather (in a white hallway) with a shotgun before he actually attacks them? [It's certainly not outside the realms of possibility that they are so concentrated on subduing Sarah (think of what she's just done. this is a highly dangerous person) that they simply don't notice him until he's right near them.]

When Sara beats the guard up with the end of the broom handle she hits him in the face very hard causing alot of blood on the guard's face. Then she hits him in the back of the knees landing with his bleeding face flat on te floor. When Sara comes back from dumping the body in the closet and picks up the guard's things the floor is completely clean, no blood anywhere. [Duplicated mistake]
Why didn't the machines send the T-1000 back in time to 1984 to help the first Terminator? Even if the rebels had sent the reprogrammed T-800 back to 1984 as well that would have confused the hell out of Reese and Sarah, which would surely only have helped. [For that matter, why the machines didn't send the T-1000 to kill Sarah Connor when she was a kid - and, thus, an easier target? Or why didn't they send the T-1000 to kill John Connor when he was 9, instead of 10 years old? That was an arbitrary choice of the script, and any year would give space to questioning. So, why bother? The real reason was: the movie was made in 1991 and so Cameron decide to set the story in 1991.]

The T800 uses the old trick of hot wiring a car by ripping off the steering column cover in the car in the desert. But in doing so, he is grimacing. Is it hurting the big, strong cyborg? [The terminators are designed to look as human as possible. A normal person would get suspicious if he saw someone performing heavy lifting or tasks involving strength if the person doing them was not showing some signs of fatigue or frustration.]
I don't know why Sarah bothered filling the syringe (to threaten a warden) with all those chemicals, injecting air into the bloodstream is just as deadly, and would probably lead to a faster death because it blocks the heart and obscures the brain, rather than blood poisoning which takes about twice as long. [The only way the air would kill is if she had hit a vein or artery. She plunged the needle in way to deep to hit either. Plus, the chemicals would cause more fear, which was her goal at the time.]
When they are going into the Cyberdyne building, T800 leaves the guns BY THE DOORS. Yet, when the police are blasting away at them, he suddenly, magically has them. [They left the guns, explosives, and everything else outside the front door so they would be able to lull the guard at the desk into a sense of security and could get rid of him before he tripped the silent alarm. Once they tied him up and left him in the bathroom, they would have gone back outside to get the weapons and explosives.]
In the scene where Arnie and John Connor are underneath the pickup truck, doing some repairs, just before the terminator asks "Why do you cry?", Arnie is tightening something with a wrench and lets out a very audible grunt. My impression was that a killer robot like him wouldn't have problems with strain. [Arnie is an infiltration unit designed to appear human. Since a human would strain Arnie would simulate having to strain to tighten the bolt so as not to blow his cover. ]
Arnold wrenches his own arm off to get out of the gears and save the Conners. Yet he later melts himself so his parts can't be used as a design to build Skynet, the villain behind all this. Remember that it was designed the first time around by the arm and chip of the T-800 from the first movie. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS ARM? They throw the original arm and chip in after Arnold, but they never go back to get the arm in the gears. I think the answer to this is that they wanted to leave an explanation for T3, if they want to. [Most likely the arm was smashed beyond recognition making anybody who discovered it pass it off as just some metal scrap. Regardless, most work was done on the chip - the arm wasn't all that advanced.]
Sarah carves "no fate" into a table and John says it's from something his father told her. The message Kyle repeats from John ("Thank you Sarah for your courage through the dark years. I can't help you with what you must soon face, except to say that the future is not set. You must be stronger than you imagine you can be. You must survive or I will never exist") doesn't contain that phrase. [This is from a deleted scene visible in the Special Edition DVD. While Sarah is locked up, she has a dream where Kyle appears in her cell; he says "there is no fate but what we make for ourselves". The fact that it's part of a deleted scene or that it took place while she was locked up still doesn't make it an error, since the dream could have been recurring; Sarah could have told John about what Kyle said (and not mentioned that it was part of a dream) long before she got arrested.]

How exactly did the T-1000 get through the time portal? After all, he is not living tissue, nor is he surrounded by it like the T-800's. You can't argue that the time equipment has been updated since both Terminators in this movie still come back naked and unarmed. [Unlike the T-800s, the T-1000 is a highly advanced prototype made of "poly-alloy". That "poly-alloy" could perhaps contain some type of living tissue that allowed him to pass through the time portal. He could have also been surrounded by tissue during his transportation (which we never actually saw, by the way) and simply removed it after coming through.]
Linda Hamilton breaks her doctor's arm while informing him that "there are 215 bones in the human body. That's one." But there are 206 bones in the human body. [Even if there are 206 bones in the human body, she could just be mistaken - it's not a mistake in the movie.]
In the first movie, Kyle Reese says that in the future nobody knows anything about Sarah Connor except for her name and the one picture he carries. But between the end of T1 and the end of T2, Sarah probably gets some news coverage for attacking computer factories, she becomes famous with the shrinks, is videotaped by them directly and by their security cameras, is friends with a militia, meets the Dysons, and helps with the much-witnessed destruction of Cyberdyne Systems. In the future, either everyone who knew her died, or the future is changed. [Anything including the news reels, shrinks, videotapes, etc. are destroyed in the nuclear attack.]
