Synopsis:
11 years have passed since Sarah Connor was targeted by a cyborg from the future. Now her son, John, the future leader of the human resistance, is the target for a newer, more deadly terminator. Once again, the resistance has managed to send a warrior to protect John and his mother. The battle for tomorrow has begun...

This edit adds the scene of the T-1000 searching John’s room into the Special Edition. This scene was included in the Special Extended Edition on the official disc, but you also had to watch the alternate ending to see it. Now you don’t.
Intention:
ADigitalMan created this over a decade ago in October of 2005 and he has since disappeared. I decided I wanted to watch one of his edits in HD, so I made this.

Even though I spent ages tracking down the extended special edition with the alternative ending (because for me the terminator series concluded with the second movie and that ending solidified that), in time I realized that said ending isn't as emotionally powerful as the theatrical one.

This edit brings everything from the extended special edition (including the scene where the T-1000 searches John's room and finds the letters, which was exclusive to that version, why Cameron didn't reintegrate that scene in the first extended cut is a mystery) and adds the more powerful and better ending to it and everything is seamlessly edited.

Excellent job, Bobson!

Another excellent Bobson Dugnutt fan edit, though ADigitalMan deserves credit and thanks too for the 2005 original,

This is T2 in its most complete and enjoyable state. All (as far as I'm aware) deleted scenes are there, the canon ending is there. It's 2.5 hours of classic action. I love it! This will be the definitive version of T2 for me from now on!

My wife and I just watched this together last night and absolutely loved it. The movie itself is amazing and the editing here is fantastic and seamless which is to be expected from Bobson Dugnut.

I agree with the other reviewer here that it would have been nice if the remastered version of the movie was used. I noticed the stuntman because I was looking for it. But it's a very small nit-pick and is something I only really saw because I was looking for it.

This is now my go to version of this amazing film.

There's no point me rehashing everything in every other review about how good this edit is. However one small complaint, why the editor/s wouldn't use the 2017 Remastered version for the edit is beyond me as it digitally replaces the stuntman's face with Arnold's during the canal chase, like in the following image:

It's so glaringly obvious, it always takes me right out of the moment every time.
If this one small detail could be fixed this edit would be the perfect 10/10.

The theatrical cut, the special edition, and the fourth option of Terminator 2 are all great. I’ve watched the “searching John’s room” scene before, but never in context, integrated into the rest of the film. I love it.

I’ve never understood why this scene was omitted from the special edition. Why put all of the other deleted footage back in, but not this scene?

When I watch an extended edition, whether it’s The Lord of the Rings, Justice League, or Terminator 2, I’m not looking for a fast-paced plot. I have the theatrical cuts for that. I’m looking for theme, mood, atmosphere, and characterization, and that’s what’s present here.

It’s creepy, it develops the T-1000’s character, and Robert Patrick’s performance is fantastic. He plays it like an insectoid serial killer. It’s so surreal and bizarre, it’s like something out of another 1991 thriller, The Silence of the Lambs.

While I do usually prefer the faster-paced theatrical cut, if I’m ever in the mood for a more immersive experience, this is the version I’m going to pick.
