Factual error: The truck that the T-1000 uses to try and run down John in the overspill, is a Freightliner FLA 9664, which uses a diesel engine - it does not use petrol. Diesel is much harder to combust in comparison to petrol/gasoline, and the spark from the battery cables on the spilt diesel would absolutely never ignite under those circumstances. (00:37:55)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Plot summary
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, Xander Berkeley, Edward Furlong, Linda Hamilton
Two terminators, the T-800 & the T-1000, are sent from an apocolyptic future back to Los Angeles, 1991. The T-800 is reprogrammed as a protector to John Connor, the future savior of mankind, who is currently living with foster parents. Sarah, his mother, is locked up in the Pescadero Mental Hospital. The T-800, John, and Sarah flee from the seemingly unstoppable T-1000. They are joined by Miles Dyson, a computer programmer/technician who is inadvertently responsible for the rise of the machines. Together the four break into Cyberdine Systems in an attempt to destroy the technology and stop the war from occuring.
More mistakes in Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The Terminator: I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle.
Cigar Biker: You forgot to say please.
Trivia: The insert car driver (towing the bike ridden by Eddie Furlong) was warned at the very beginning of the scene where John rides out of the mall and the T-1000 is chasing him, that Robert Patrick could run exceptionally well. The driver confidently said that Patrick wouldn't catch him. However, on the very first take, Patrick ran right up and tapped Furlong on the shoulder. So if this was real life, the human race would be in trouble.
Question: One of the taglines for this film is "It's nothing personal". I have no idea what that has to do with the film and was hoping someone could explain it.

Chosen answer: Two possibilities. 1: The Terminator is emotionless, so the killing isn't personal, but rather what it's programmed to do. 2: Sarah Connor's plan to kill Miles Dyson to stop Skynet's creation.

It's also a sly nod to another famous tagline, Jaws: The Revenge. "This time it's personal."
