Sarah chases him outside, to find herself in the same spot as the nuclear nightmare scene later in the movie. They kiss and hug, but Reese disappears and walks out. Sarah Connor was to have a drug-induced dream where Reese appears and warns her that she needs to save their son from danger. Another hospital scene was cut that took place after John Connor robs the ATM and heads for the mall.She refuses, so the more sadistic of the two, Dougie, smacks her in the gut with his baton and forces the pills down her throat, then kicks her while she's on the floor doubled over in pain. The cut scene was of the staff coming in to give her the pills. Directly after the pre-med students peer into Sarah's room, the doctor reminds the orderlies to make sure she takes her medication.After boarding, Cameron handed the script to Schwarzenegger and producer Mario Kassar, and immediately fell asleep for the entire duration of the flight.įilmed scenes not included in the theatrical release (all but two were restored in the Special Edition): This actually delayed the plane to Cannes, much to the chagrin of the Carolco delegation inside (which included filmmakers Paul Verhoeven, Oliver Stone and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger). He did an all-nighter the day before the festival, and the script was literally printed out while a limousine was waiting to get him to the airport. They used every available hour to write the initial draft, because Cameron wanted to have a finished screenplay before the Cannes Film Festival, where Carolco would announce the film. When writer/director James Cameron got the call from Carolco Pictures that the film was officially green-lit, one of the first things he said to his friend and co-writer William Wisher was: "The good news is, we're making the sequel the bad news is, we are already several months behind schedule". The film was on a tight deadline as it had to be ready for the summer of 1991 to meet its financial commitments. Shot in eight months, compared to the first film's six-week filming schedule.
