** Justified, as Future!John reprogrammed T-800 and could easily have said him where exactly his younger self lived, what he used to do and where could find him. T-1000 had to investigate.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Though it's hard to tell, the film is actually set in 1995, not 1991 (the only indications are John's age in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse at his record on a police computer). Because it doesn't feature futuristic elements and thus averts {{Zeerust}} (instead simply saying it was four years ahead), it is one of the most accurate depictions of the future.
** Unfortunately for the filmmakers though, fashion and music changed radically in a very short time in the early nineties. The grunge and gangsta rap scene replaced the colorful fashions and upbeat music of the early 90's (think hairbands, MC Hammer, and Vanilla Ice) almost overnight. Through most of the film this isn't evident. But Guns n' Roses had a hard fall by the mid nineties and the two guys who attempt to help John (and nearly get killed for it) are wearing painfully early nineties fashions.

** For a machine that's only supposed to imitate humans both physically and emotionally, the T-1000 acts a lot more human near the climax of the film. Hell, the last look on its face during the ShapeShifterSwan moment showed that it seemed genuinely afraid of dying.

* UnableToCry: The T-800, moments before it destroys itself, has learned at a geometric rate and become self-aware. It understands exactly why people cry, and why John is sobbing at his immediate demise right now. But is technically unable to express or convey that same sorrow with its eyes, even though ''it wants to''.

* CurbStompBattle: The T-800's fistfight in the steel mill against the T-1000 turns out this way since the T-800 can't harm its liquid-metal opponent through conventional means (including a solid punch to the T-1000's face).

While the T-800 [[CurbstompCushion initially holds its own against its morphing nemesis]], its not recovering from battle damage, and after [[AnArmAndALeg self-amputating its own arm]] jammed in a machine, the battle goes downhill for it from there.


Added DiffLines:

* HandicappedBadass: The T-800 deliberately self-amputates its own left arm jammed and crushed in a cogwheel. It keeps chasing after the T-1000 regardless of the huge disadvantage its now at, much to the liquid metal assassin's annoyance.

* MoreDakka: Three particularly memorable moments:
** When the T-800 climbs onto the semi truck the T-1000 is driving, he grabs an M-16 and unloads ''the entire clip point blank into its face''. Still doesn't stop it though...
** When they are trying to escape the Cyberdyne building, the SWAT team orders the T-800 to drop to the ground. After his second warning, at least a dozen of them open up on him with full auto fire for nearly 30 seconds straight as [[UnflinchingWalk he just marches right through it, getting chunks of his synthetic flesh blown away until nearly half of his metal skull, chest plate, and left leg are fully exposed]]. Granted, they know by this point that gunfire seems to not be slowing him down, but ''damn''.
