T2: Judgement Day - Fourth Option: Special Edition Remastered

The theatrical cut, the special edition, and the fourth option of Terminator 2 are all great. I’ve watched the “searching John’s room” scene before, but never in context, integrated into the rest of the film. I love it.

I’ve never understood why this scene was omitted from the special edition. Why put all of the other deleted footage back in, but not this scene?

When I watch an extended edition, whether it’s The Lord of the Rings, Justice League, or Terminator 2, I’m not looking for a fast-paced plot. I have the theatrical cuts for that. I’m looking for theme, mood, atmosphere, and characterization, and that’s what’s present here.

It’s creepy, it develops the T-1000’s character, and Robert Patrick’s performance is fantastic. He plays it like an insectoid serial killer. It’s so surreal and bizarre, it’s like something out of another 1991 thriller, The Silence of the Lambs.

While I do usually prefer the faster-paced theatrical cut, if I’m ever in the mood for a more immersive experience, this is the version I’m going to pick.

Incredible edit, I can't find a link for it anywhere though. Can I have one so I can watch this again?

I have the Ultimate Edition DVD, and always found it a nuisance to always have to type in the code for the Hidden Special Edition. So this was a welcome sight! Now it's a more complete movie!

A nice upgrade from ADigitalMan's Extended Edition . I never understood why James Cameron chose to delete this scene it adds a little depth on how the T1000 operates.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is pretty much as pitch-perfect a blockbuster as you could get, with its groundbreaking practical and digital effects, powerful performances, intense action set-pieces, and outstanding storytelling and dialogue, and the addition of the T-1000 searching John Connor's room is an incredibly welcome one even if it is the only addition. Still the best in the franchise.
