Visible crew/equipment: During the "target acquired" chase scene when the red pickup truck flips over after going through the split semi-trailer there is an overhead shot shown of the action. The next shot when the T-X looks in her rear view mirror at the action, the camera crane that filmed the previous overhead shot is visible in the background. (00:32:25)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where John, Catherine and the Terminator are in the mausoleum getting the guns out of the casket, you can see two "marks" taped on the floor in front of John and Catherine. (I think they were red and green). (00:49:55)

Character mistake: In the opening narration, John Connor says that he was attacked by the T-1000 when he was 13 years old. This is wrong. In Terminator 2, we see that John Connor is only 10 years old, as shown on the police computer when the T-1000 accesses it. (00:02:20)

Answer: He was originally in talks - and by some reports, did appear on set for some period of time. While factual answers are in short supply (for obvious reasons), there appears to be a connection to his drug-use habits. For instance, he was checked into a hospital (LA Cedars Sinai) for what friends feared was a drug overdose in April 2001, and has been in and out of rehab over the years. Chances are the production company was unable or unwilling to get completion insurance.
