Star Wars vs Terminator 2

There appears to be a dispute over whether Terminator 2 surpassed Star Wars upon original release. Box Office Mojo is notoriously unreliable these days, but its last lot of "accurate" figures had Star Wars (1977–1982) at $518.5 million and Terminator 2 (original release) at $517 million. Based on these numbers, Star Wars appears to shade it. However, both of these numbers are slightly down from what was previous reported ($530 million for Star Wars and $519.8 million for Terminator 2). It is also worth noting that the 1982 gross for Star Wars lacks an overseas figure, too, so it's very likely it is getting low-balled. In short, whilst it is certainly possible that Terminator 2 could have shaded Star Wars back in 1991, there is no tangible evidence that it did. Worldwide data is notoriously unreliable for 20th century films, but in the case of the older comparison (530/520) and the revised BOM comparison (518.5/517.0) Star Wars comes out on top both times.

T2 is conclusive

Cameron said that T2 marked the end of his vision for the franchise.

I went ahead and added in the plot section, that John Connor did actually accomplish what was prophesied: leading a resistance (himself, mother, Dyson, and T-800) against the Machines (polymophic T-1000) and destroying Skynet (i.e., Cyberdyne Systems), thus preserving humanity's future. 184.166.97.71 (talk) 20:35, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The plot section isn't for asides, it's for what happens in the film. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is what happened in the film. I wouldn't call it an "aside"; a different take, perhaps, but not an aside. 184.166.97.71 (talk) 23:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uzi Gal

<sigh> it is quite possible he is not Uziel Gal: I checked the sources they do not write "Uziel" and imdb, although not a RS, says he is not. See aslo photos here of Uzi training Linda; definitely not Uziel. And here is the same guy training Robert Patrick (his trainer is known as "Uzi Gal" as well). I am pretty much sure if he were the Uziel Gal, this fact would have been mentioned in RS about Terminator 2. --Altenmann >talk 21:48, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Terminator character names

The "advanced" Terminator has T-1000 in edit but in read only has Terminator. The reprogrammed Terminator should have T-800 in front of Terminator. ☉Qψîδịzഴ^ⓧ•—>Quisizyx _talk 14:17, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
