Linda Hamilton's body change between the first and second film created quite a buzz at the time. Her publicity shot in a military style outfit with heavy weaponry became an icon, and functioned as a lesbian pin-up for a while. Also, the scene of her dream of a nuclear holocaust in the future, includes an image of herself as she was in the first film. As a matter of fact, her twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren was brought in to play Sarah Connor in the dream. The two women indeed look very different.
More twin information: Linda Hamilton's twin also plays the T1000 when it is imitating Sarah Connor. Identical twins Don Stanton and Dan Stanton play the hospital security guard and the T1000.
Given Schwarzenegger's $15 million salary and his total of 700 words of dialog, that translates to $21,429 per word. "Hasta la vista, baby" cost $85,716.
The crew had to incorporate Robert Patrick's football-injury limp in their animation of the T1000. As a result a lot of the scenes were designed in mirror-image! For example, they filmed the stuff with the T1000 pretending to be driving from the right-hand steering wheel (wearing a mirror-image police uniform), while the real driver was hidden under a black hood at the lowered real steering wheel. For the final film, the scenes were flipped left-to-right to make it all look right, and combined with footage shot with a normal truck driving in the drain. This was done so that Patrick could concentrate on acting rather than driving. They accidentally caught a street sign; after they mirror-imaged the scene, they digitally reversed the text on the sign so it would appear correct.
