    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Paramount green-lit two sequels to this film before it even opened, because regardless of how well it would do at the box office or with critics, all film rights to the Terminator series would revert back to James Cameron in 2019. However, both sequels were canceled after the film's critical and commercial failure, paving the way for Cameron to produce Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). Unfortunately, the latter turned out to be an even bigger loss at the box office.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 27 mins) Heavy vehicles, such as school buses use air brake systems. When a loss of pressure is experienced in the system, such as when John destroys the air tanks, the brakes auto-apply. The bus would therefore come to an immediate halt, not continue on with "no brakes" as is seen in the movie.
    • Quotes
      • [Sarah hugs Pops before going into the Time Displacement Equipment. Pops doesn't understand the meaning of a hug]
      • Guardian: That's a meaningless gesture. Why hold onto someone you must let go?
    • Crazy credits
      There is an extra scene during the credits.
