Question: Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed the Terminator in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. When Jack Slater is in a video store in the real world with Danny, why does the cardboard movie cutout for Terminator 2 show Sylvester Stallone as the Terminator?

Answer: It's not the real world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6PBhdM9Ftg. Danny's in Slater's world and trying to find evidence of Arnold Schwarzenegger existing, but instead finds that Stallone has taken that role in this version of reality.
Answer: I've never seen a scene with Jack and Danny in the real world at a video rental store. The video rental store scene takes places in the Jack Slater movie world. Since Slater is Schwarzenegger, Schwarzenegger doesn't exist in the movie world. So the Terminator is played by Stallone, who does exist in the movie world.
