Fun Facts[]
- Sure, one could use movie magic and old school split-screen techniques to create the scene where Sarah Connor faces off the T-1000, who is disguised as her. But why bother, when you can just have your twin sister do it? Yup, Leslie Hamilton Gearren, who plays the "twin Sarah" morphed T-1000 in this film is Linda Hamilton's twin sister. This is Leslie's first, and to date, only known film work.
- Dean Norris, who plays a SWAT commander in this film, will return to the franchise in 2009, this time as a T-800 Terminator in episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
