Terminator 2: Judgment Day introduced the T-1000, a shapeshifting android who impersonated a couple of characters throughout the movie in order to fulfill his mission of killing John Connor – and here’s every character he posed as. After making his filmmaking debut in 1982 with Piranha II: The Spawning, James Cameron surprised the audience with The Terminator (1984), a sci-fi movie written by him and Gale Anne Hurd. The movie introduced the audience to the title character (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), a cybernetic android disguised as a human who is sent back in time to assassinate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose son, John Connor, will save mankind from extinction by a hostile artificial intelligence.
The Terminator was a big commercial and critical success, launching Cameron’s career and making way for a franchise consisting of six movies, a TV show, and other media. A sequel arrived in 1991, titled Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and reunited viewers with Sarah Connor and the Terminator, who took on a different role as he was now tasked by the “Resistance” to protect a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) from a more advanced Terminator known as T-1000 (Robert Patrick). This new Terminator had the ability to shapeshift thanks to it being composed of liquid metal or a mimetic polyalloy, and he used this talent to trick his targets and also to form its hands into blades.
T-1000 was created by Skynet and following the Terminator’s failure at killing Sarah Connor in the first movie, he was sent back in time with a different mission: instead of killing Sarah, he had to kill John Connor, who was living with his foster parents as Sarah was arrested and imprisoned at a mental hospital following an attempt to bomb a computer factory, all as a result of the trauma she went through in The Terminator. In order to achieve this, the T-1000 took on different shapes to trick John Connor, and the first one was that of Janelle Voight (Jenette Goldstein), John’s foster mother. The T-1000 arrived at the Voights’ house posing as a police officer, and at some point, he killed Janelle and took her place so he could lure John back to the house.
Next on the T-1000’s list of impersonations in Terminator 2 is Lewis (Don Stanton), a security guard for the Pescadero State Hospital, where Sarah Connor was imprisoned. T-1000 followed Lewis around and waited for him to be alone, taking his shape right in front of him and stabbing him in the eye. By impersonating Lewis, T-1000 was able to infiltrate the hospital and go after Sarah Connor. Last but not least, the T-1000 impersonated none other than Sarah Connor. During the climactic battle at the end of Terminator 2, T-1000 posed as Sarah Connor to trick John Connor, but the real Sarah appeared right behind him, ready to shoot him and blow his cover.
The T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day was a very dangerous threat to defeat due to his composition and abilities, so much that it had to be blasted and thrown into a molten metal vat so it could finally be destroyed. However, the actions of the T-1000 impacted the next movie, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and he returned in Terminator Genisys, now played by Lee Byung-hun, and in Terminator: Dark Fate, a combination of the T-800 (the original Terminator) and the T-1000 was played by Gabriel Luna, but none of these versions had the same impact as Robert Patrick’s version.
