Michael John Petty is a Senior Features Author for Collider who writes mostly about Westerns but also loves superheroes and supernatural thrillers.

The Big Picture Long before there was any general discourse over theatrical vs director's cuts, Terminator 2: Judgment Day hit theaters and blew the minds of everyone who returned from seeing the original. No longer was James Cameron's The Terminator just a low-budget sci-fi slasher, but now an action blockbuster with state-of-the-art special effects and groundbreaking twists that makes T2 still the best of its kind.

Release Date July 3, 1991 Director James Cameron Cast Arnold Schwarzenegger , Linda Hamilton , Edward Furlong , Robert Patrick , Earl Boen , Joe Morton Runtime 137 minutes Writers James Cameron , William Wisher Jr. Studio Tri-Star Pictures Tagline It's nothing personal.

As far as fans of the Terminator franchise are concerned, you might be hard-pressed to find many who don't consider T2 their favorite installment . But while most can agree on Judgment Day's general superiority, there is debate about whether the original theatrical cut or the "Special Edition" is the better way to watch. Of course, this isn't like how Lucas reworked the original Star Wars trilogy to include a handful of new shiny effects.

Related 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' Is the Best Non-James Cameron Movie in the Franchise The Terminator franchise actually works really well without James Cameron. Fight me! Perhaps the most notable scene in the entire "Special Edition" is the "chip flipping" scene in which John and Sarah remove the T-800's CPU, flip off the learning inhibitors put in place by Skynet, and argue about their need for the machine protector.
