Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Reference to James Cameron's "The Abyss"

In the scene where the heroes are at a gas station, the logo for "Benthic Petroleum" can be seen on the gas pumps. This is the same fictional company featured in James Cameron's 1989 film, "The Abyss".

Reference to an early Arnold Schwarzenegger film

When the trio stops at a rest stop, the sign for "Cactus Jack's" is visible. This is a nod to the 1979 film "The Villain," which was also known as "Cactus Jack," and starred a young Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Guns N' Roses song in the film

The Guns N' Roses song "You Could Be Mine" is featured in the film. The band's music was very popular at the time, and the song's inclusion helped to date the film in the early 90s. The T-800 pulls a shotgun out of a box of roses, a visual pun on the band's name.

William Wisher's Cameo

The film's co-writer, William Wisher, has a cameo as the man taking pictures in the mall after the T-800 is thrown through a window.
