Props Revealed: When the Terminator is stabbed in the bar, the prop rubber knife bends. When Sarah, John and the Terminator are in Dyson's house explaining the whole scenario, the Terminator cuts his arm open with a knife to prove he's a robot. The actor's real arm is clearly seen hiding under his shirt near his stomach. Sparks emerge from the truck before it scratches the wall.
When T1000 is being dragged just after latching on to back of commandeered police car when escaping Pescadero, obvious dummy being dragged as police car rounds corner. The tanker truck's front grille is already damaged before the Terminator destroys it with the grenade. Black sock covering real arm visible when mechanical arm crushed.
The computer John uses to take money from the ATM early in the film sports an Atari logo on the screen panel. When he uses it later to bypass Cyberdyne's lock down, a Sony logo is briefly seen on the back side of that same panel. The outline of a wrist watch under the sock is also visible. When the T-1000 pulls the bar from his abdomen (right after the Terminator cleaves him in half with it), the shadow of the bar is visible on the T-1000's shirt the entire time even when stuck inside him.
Stage Revealed: When John and the Terminator arrive at the hospital, the Terminator breaks the glass to open the gate but you can already see where the glass will break. In the Pescadero scene, Sarah runs towards the elevator and stops as the Terminator steps off. When she turns to run around the corner, the striking tape can clearly be seen on the floor. During the fight in the mall corridor you can clearly see that the walls are already broken before the T-1000 is pushed through them.
As the two Terminators grapple and throw each other through walls in the mall, the wall on the right hand side of the screen is visibly made of a thin paper, no more than an inch in thickness. When the helicopter rises over the Cyberdyne building we should see the roof. Instead we see that the black glass front of the building is a flat facade with nothing behind it.
Scene Missteps: When the T1000 rides the motorbike up the stairs, tire marks are left on the floor. If you look carefully in the scene when the swat team go up the same stair case you can see a tire mark on the floor. The swat team went up the stairs long before the T1000 rode up it. When Arnie is chasing John, he skids in front of a blue Ford, which swerves and two cars, including a yellow Jeep, smash into it. But a closer look shows, the cars are already damaged from previous takes.
When the Terminator spots John Connor and his pal on the motorcycle from above, he zooms in and freezes an image of John's face to confirm an identity match. The two kids must be travelling at least 30mph on the bike, yet the still image the Terminator takes of John on his moving bike shows his long bangs hanging in front of his face, as if there is no wind blowing against it, suggesting the image was taken separately, and not really while he was riding the bike.
When John and the Terminator are in the phone booth, the damage to the phone is visible before the Terminator bashes it in. Sarah lowers the Terminator on the lift by hitting the "up" button. When the Terminator shoots the T1000 from inside the lift and splits its head open, the T1000's head is already slightly split open before he shoots. The red car wrecked at the beginning of the bike chase was already severely damaged.
Just before the Terminator crashes the SWAT truck into the building, there is a security desk in the middle of front room. A couple of the SWAT members are leaning on it. After the truck crashes through the front windows and swings around to the hallway, the desk disappears completely. Dyson was shot in the left arm. When they went to Cyberdyne he put his left hand into his pants pocket to support it. Later when they were upstairs in the lab he is holding and using a flashlight with his left hand. A moment later his left hand is back in the pocket.
Obvious Stunt Double: For the T-800 when he rides his motorcycle off the bridge and into the canal, when he swings his bike around the T1000's rig just before grabbing John Connor off his bike in the tunnels, when he cuts his motorcycle around behind the cars after he sees John Connor for the first time in the freeway, and when he crashes through the wall of the "clean room" to rescue Sarah Connor. For John Connor in several shots during the bike chase, particularly when he cuts in front of the white truck.
Dressed in foil when the T1000 is hanging on the front of the helicopter. Brief obvious stunt double for Terminator can be seen when he is thrown onto the floor by the T-l000 in the clothing shop when the two are fighting, and also just before the T-1000 flings him out the glass window. After Sarah encounters the Terminator for the first time in the hallway of the hospital, he throws one of the guards into the window; the actor is obviously replaced by a stunt double.
