Date Edit Was Released
: November 18th 2006
Original Runtime :
1:44:40
New Runtime : 1:40:24
Amount of
time Cut/Added : 37 changes/cuts (see complete list)

Cuts removed/added/extended :
1. Alternate opening. John
Connor’s original narration has been slightly altered, plus the construction of
a Terminator is shown. Could this be John Connor’s nightmare, or something even
much worse?
The song “T3″ has been restored in this opening (this song is on
the soundtrack, but was nowhere to be found in the official movie).
2.
Removal of T-Xs line I like this car. A reference to T2’s “Say, that’s a nice
bike,” but it gets annoying because she says it again with police officer a
scene later. Here, T-X just kills, and doesnt say unnecessary lines to
insignificant persons. Shes a cold blooded killer now.
3. Removal of the
growing T-Xs breasts. In the T3 novelization it makes a bit sense, since she
lures the cop with her breasts into an alley to kill him out of sight (but
still, why lure the cop out of sight to kill him while a scene later you just
brutally shoot a kid working in a drive-in in public?). However, since the
alley-sequence does not happen in the movie, this is just a very lame example of
T-X morphing-abilities. Shes a cold blooded killer, not some cute
sexrobot.
4. Removal of T-Xs line I like your gun.As explained above. Now it
is only hinted that the T-X will take the gun one way or another.
5. Removal
of T-850s line Now when he moves forward to speak against the strippers hand.
Pathetic scene in which is shown that the Terminator does not know human
gestures. Its an infiltration unit, so it should not bow over to literally talk
to the hand.
6. Removal of the pathetic “Elton John sunglasses” scene.
Terminator just walks out of the bar, stands still a second (to take a look at
the offscreen parked cards) and then we cut to Terminator slamming the
window.
7. Removal of T-850 synchronizing his internal clock with the watch.
Although it’s an awesome scene and idea, this sequence causes more confusion
than it clears things up. The order of dates that appear is not chronological,
so we are still left to guess which date is really is. Also, the Terminator
finds the watch hidden behind the sunvisor. Since he immediately checks the
sunvisor, this shows that the Terminator is either more sophisticated/updated,
or understands more of human habbits. Now this is removed.
8. T-X just goes
into the driveby and shoots Jose without even asking his name or checking him
via her TermoVision. She just brutally shoots without a known reason for the
audience yet, just like in the first Terminator movie. Why ask for names if you
can already identify your target via an iris (or DNA) scan?
9. Same goes for
Bill Anderson. T-X arrives at his house and just slams him to the ground and
shoots him. This is also more like the style of the first Terminator movie.
Although we have seen the T-X connecting to some database, she is just killing
unknown persons while we are left to guess why at the moment.
10. Removal of
T-X’s sampling the cat lady’s blood and her reaction “No.” First of all, if it’s
the target the T-X is looking for, she wouldn’t say “no” to herself but just
continue looking for her target. Second, the T-X sampling someone’s blood is
shown in a scene later in which she samples John Connor’s blood. Redunancy
thus…
11. Removal of T-Xs orgasmic reaction after sampling Johns blood. Wasnt
my comment about the T-X being some kind of cold blooded killing machine instead
of robotic sextoy not enough?
12. Kate doesnt drop the keys (such a Hollywood
clich), the T-X is right at her when she jumps in the Tundra. This makes the T-X
a more dangerous Terminator than she was portrayed in the movie. Like the
Terminator says later on in the movie: “T-X is faster, more intelligent and more
powerful.”
13. Added shot of the T-850 grabbing the shotgun out of the truck
at the vet.
14. Removal of the line I lied. T-850 needs the time to save
John, so why bother having a conversation with Kate when you know that you will
need all the time in the world to save the person you are programmed to
protect.
15. Removal of T-X double checking when she notices the T-850 is
driving his firetruck next to her crane. She only looks one time at him and
immediately notices him, which makes her more menacing.
16. Removal of T-850s
line Excuse meto the T-X, before striking his axe into her neck during the
crane chase. Silly line, a Terminator would never say something like this in the
heat of a battle. T-X just notices the Terminator now.
17. Removed the
ridiculous conversation:
John Connor: So, shes an anti-Terminator Terminator?
Youve got to be shitting me.
T-850: No, I am not shitting you.
And you
wonder why Terminator wasn’t taken seriously…?
18. Removed T-850s second
Relax. The T-850 looks so out of place with that movement. Kates screaming can
be heard when the Tundra drives away from the explosion.
19. Removal of “Talk
to the hand.” The Terminator just stares blankly at the guy (and ignores
him).
20. Alternate conversation between John and Kate in the back of the
van, together with a future flashforward. No silly lines like “Jerky?” or “What
are you, some kind of gangmember?” John uses the Mike Kripke’s conversation now
as icebreaker to Kate. Also, the future war scenes have a meaning now, and a
reason to atsppear. Not unlike the official cut, in which they are just random
(meaningless) future war scenes (with great special effects) as opening. The
added song that accompanies the future nightmares is: Dead Can Dance - The Host
Of Seraphim.
21. Removed the T-X killing Scott. Now we don’t know that the
T-X has mimicked Scott’s appearance. This is more like T2 style, and creating a
surprise effect later on when Scott suddenly kills the police officers.
22.
Removal of the T-850s line Dont do that after being shot in the mouth by Kate.
It hints that the T-850 has a real personality (which also appears later in the
movie, when he corrects John who calls him a robot instead of a cybernetic
organism). And would a Terminator tell the one he should obey not to do
something?
Another fact is that Kate now fully realizes that this man is not
human, and this shock has more impact to her. The removal of John telling her
that it is a machine, during the conversation in the back of the van, adds now
more perspective, because Kate didn’t know that it was a cyborg when she
accidentally fired the gun in Terminator’s mouth.
23. Added two short
alternate scenes of the T-850 firing his gun while holding the coffin.
24.
Removed storyline of John and Kates children, or that Kate will even turn out to
be Johns spouse. This romantic stuff has been trimmed down heavily. The only
hints for a possible future relationship are the Mike Kripke’s conversations and
the couple holding hands at the end of the movie.
25. Removed Kates line Do
something while the T-X attacks the hearse. Like if the Terminator doesnt
understand that his mission objectives are in danger and that he needs to
act.
26. Removed human pair bounding scene. Instead the next sequence is
shown:
27. Added CRS promotional video. A nice reference to T2’s Cyberdyne
Systems. Sgt. Candy does not make his appearance. I didn’t like the fact that
CRS was alreadymaking the Endoskeletons in the present, this was supposed to
happen in the future by SKYNET. And ofcourse the fact that Robert Brewster sees
this video and does not refer to the T-850 as Sgt. Candy later on. Besides, this
video trims down the darker movie I wanted to edit, and showing the full Candy
video would only make it more comical.
28. Removed the T-850 correcting John
after being called a robot instead of a cybernetic organism. Again, it looked
like the Terminator had a personality and needed to stand up for his ego.
29.
Removal of Kate’s first kiss conversation. They now have some kind of short
giggle.
30. Removal of short conversation about Kate’s role in the future
(being second-in-command and being John’s spouse).
31. “Shell be
backvideo-sequence from the first trailer, so it has more impact.
32.
Removal of Kates pathetic line Just die you bitch, during the particle
accelerator escape. That line came suddenly out of nowhere, like Kate suddenly
needed her own one-liner.
33. In the CRS fight, the T-850 slams the T-X with
some kind of gas canister, and she spins her head. I have removed that bit. It
focusses a bit more on the action and not the T-X’s “I’m far more superior than
you”-look.
34. Removal of Johns line You cant kill a human being, you said so
yourselfduring the desire scene. In the novelization, at the cemetery the T-850
tells John he can’t kill humans. However, this is unknown to the movie watching
audience, and removing this line makes the desire scene have more impact. The
T-850 is more dangerous when it is unknown whether he can kill a human (John) or
not, and this questions if John will survive the T-850 during the desire
scene.
35. Added a shot of John and Kate dodging some flying piece of debris
at Crystal Peak after the T-850 crashes in.
36. Added a short clip of Kate
screaming while pulling John away under the blast door while the T-X holds
John’s ankle (it misses the original audio scream, since it was impossible to
use the original audio).
37. Alternate music during credits. Only Marco
Beltrami music, and most of it was missing from the official cut. Songs have
been mixed into 1 mix/suite:
- Terminator Theme
- JC Theme
- A Day In
The Life (edit)
- T3 Reprise (for the next change:)
38. Future war clip
after credits, so the audience will know that the hardest battle is not over,
but has yet to come.

Extras : FanCut Marker,
4 Alternate
Scenes,
Info,
Trailer (plays before menu).

Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit over original:

This fan edition runs 4 minutes shorter than the original movie.
What is left is a darker movie, following the style of the first Terminator
movie. Now, Terminator’s mission has become a race against the clock.
No more
cheesy oneliners or ridiculous scenes. The Terminator focusses completely on the
mission. The T-X is faster, more powerful and more intelligent. No more romance
between John and Kate. A complete new opening, plus a reference to T2’s
Cyberdyne Systems.

Time needed for the edition: 2 months

persons involved: 1 (+ a lot of advice from Boon23)
