Correction: A T-1000 (or any liquid metal terminator) is capable of changing its outer appearance. It makes sense that Pops would keep his appearance familiar to Sarah so she recognises him and doesn't immediately assume he is a different Terminator out to kill her.

Correction: No, it's not. It's not even close. It's just pieces of John being pulled apart as he struggles to get away from the magnet. The images are essentially the same height and upright. In fact, two middle images are the tallest and straightest.

Corrected entry: Sarah throughout most of the movie wears her hair in a ponytail. In the scene prior to using the time machine her hair is loose because she can't wear any clothing. However her hair is somehow back in its ponytail prior to her stepping into the time machine.

Correction: We don't know how much time passes between these scenes, and none of the shots of her hair down then in a ponytail are continuous shots. After they're done talking about what year to go to, the next scene they're already in the locker room and her hair is down, and she had plenty of time to do it. She could have taken it down for a number of reasons, such as brushing it or because something got in her hair. After that, the next scene is all 3 at the time machine. She could have put it in a ponytail out of habit or because they had more to do, and again, she had plenty of time to do so. She even covers herself after taking her clothes off even though she's going to be naked in front of Kyle, so no reason to think she couldn't put her hair back up in the meantime. Of course, as she enters the time machine and disrobes she takes her scrunchie off to let her hair down.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: When the helicopter crashes at the end Kyle says Pops is probably at the bottom of the lake, then Pops walks in - not only is he bone dry but shows no signs of being in any sort of crash. After all he did hit the spinning rotor blades that should have left some damage.

Correction: Reese says Pops "probably" ends up at the bottom of the lake. We actually see the fuselage of the helicopter floating in the lake after the crash, so Pops most likely got out of the helicopter before it sank. Also, Pops does not hit the rotor blades on the second helicopter, he crashes through the side of the second helicopter and disables it from within.

Correction: This movie is a reboot of sorts that only considers the first two films for its plot. Anything introduced in 3 and 4 has been ignored.

Factual error: During the opening narration Kyle Reese states that Skynet attacks humanity on August 12, 1997. In the shot of missiles decimating San Francisco, multiple 2005-present Toyota Priuses, Dodge Chargers and other late model cars are seen.

Suggested correction: That 1997 was from another timeline before the events in Terminator 2 altered history. It's possible those models may have existed earlier in that timeline than in our world.

This is assuming too much about the alternate timelines. There would have to be more concrete evidence that such things would be altered in said timelines. Also, considering that timeline is supposed to be what took place from Terminator 1 in its own separate timeline, we would go still by our own following the events of it leading up.

Trivia: In the bridge scene, Pops breaks the windshield of the police car and then he says to the officer "Get out", a line said in Terminator and Terminator 2.

Question: If John Connor and the resistance are so good at reprogramming Terminators (They have done it 3 times during the series), why don't they just use them to help fight the war? Continuously sending them back in time may have kept Connor alive, but has achieved little else.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: As long as Skynet kept sending other Terminators into the past to kill John Connor before he became the leader of the human resistance, it was necessary to keep sending reprogrammed Terminators into the past as well so that the timeline would not be altered, thus resulting in a Skynet victory. While it is possible that John and the resistance may have used reprogrammed Terminators to help them in the future, this was never depicted or otherwise mentioned within the film series.
