[[ Release iNFO:..................................................................................................:- ]] Name: Terminator 2: Judgment Day Version: [ SKYNET EDiTiON ] Special Edition Akso Known As: T2 [ SPECiAL EDiTiON ] Year: 1991 Video Source: 2015 Bluray REMASTERED EDiTION Audio Source: 2009 Bluray SKYNET EDiTiON iMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/ US/(UK) Certification: Rated R for action, violence, and for language / (18 original rating, uncut version) Genre: Action, Sci-Fi Storyline: Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this sci-fi action sequel co-written and directed by James Cameron. Young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the future leader of a human rebellion in a machine-dominated world, is under threat from the new T-1000 Terminator (Robert Patrick) - an improved, virtually indestructible model sent back in time by artificial intelligence system Skynet to kill him. The adult John also sends a copy of the original Terminator (Schwarzenegger) back in time, this time to protect the boy and his mother, Sarah (Linda Hamilton). As the battle of the behemoths begins, Sarah and John face a race against time to destroy the origins of Skynet and alter the future enough to stop the slaughter of the human race. Tagline: Same Make. Same Model. New Mission... Trivia: Carolco studio executives were nervous and concerned when the original budget of US $75 million ballooned up to US $88 million, with more to come. In order to keep the budget manageable, they proposed to eliminate a few scenes, particularly the opening biker bar scene where The Terminator is introduced. They tried to get Arnold Schwarzenegger to persuade James Cameron to remove that scene, but Schwarzenegger turned them down, saying, "Only a studio guy would cut a scene out like that."

Though technically only the DTS-HD 6.1 Audio and the commentary is from the 'SKYNET EDiTiON' Bluray. The video is from the '2015 REMASTER' Bluray, which is essentially the same 'SPECIAL EDiTiON' extended version as the 'SKYNET EDiTiON' but with the newer and more improved REMASTERED video but with a replaced DTS-HD MA 5.1 track from the 6.1 Matrix on the 'SKYNET EDiTiON'. I made the mistake on my last releases NFO of naming this the 'Director's Cut' in the 'KC's Coming Soon Releases' section, naming it the 'T2 Director's Cut' which is a common mistake, as officially it was never named the 'Director's Cut' and was only ever referred to as the 'SPECiAL EDiTiON' cut found on the 1993 LaserDisc and the 2000 'ULTiMATE EDiTiON' DVD which was later remastered to bluray for the 2009 'SKYNET EDiTiON' and then the 2015 'REMASTERED EDiTiON' bluray's. The '2015 REMASTERED' bluray is regarded as the best choice for the extended special edition of the film when it comes to the picture, with most even preferring it over the over-processed 2017 remaster. But at the same time the original 2009 'SKYNET EDiTiON' bluray is still regarded as the superior version when it comes to the special edition audio, with many regarding the DTS-HD MA ES 6.1 Matrix as the best option for the special edition audio. So for this 'Hybrid' release I have used the '2015 REMASTER' Bluray for the video source and for a TrueHD 5.1 Lossless copy of the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. And for the original DTS-HD MA ES 6.1 Matrix audio and the 2 commentary tracks I have used the original 2009 'SKYNET EDiTiON' Bluray. I have also used the 2009 'SKYNET EDiTiON' for the named chapters as the 2015 version used less and left them generically un-named. The T2: Special Edition never made it to 4K UHD-BR, only the 'Theatrical Cut' did... (see my previous release) 'Terminator.2.Judgment.Day.1991.TC.UHD.2160p.REMUX.Hybrid.HDR10.DV.P8.DTS-HD.TrueHD.5.1.H265-KC' if you prefer a retail only 4K UHD bluray REMUX, this version has superior picture quality but obviously is missing all the extra scenes from this 'SPECiAL EDiTiON'... ...But for those wanting the fuller, longer, cut aka the 'SPECiAL EDiTiON' aka the 'SKYNET EDiTiON' I offer you this HDR Ai-Enhanced Hybrid Upscale with Dolby Vision Profile 8.1 meta mastering. As explained above for this 'Ai-Enhanced Hybrid Upscale' I have used what is regarded as the best source for the video to upscale and combined it with what is regarded as the best source for the audio, giving you an improvement over both the 2009 and 2015 Bluray's with the added benefit of a lossless TrueHD 5.1 copy of the '2015 REMASTER' Audio for those who still prefer a lossless 5.1 version over the lossless 6.1 Matrix. And as always for those who have non-lossless audio supported devices I have included a DD+ 5.1 Copy of the main audio track, for full compatibility - offering superior bitrates and sound quality to the older Dolby Digital AC3 codec generally used for compatibility. 1) For the TrueHD Lossless Copy of the '2015 REMASTERED' 5.1 Track - select audio track 3. ~ NOTE ~ If you're a PLEX or Exoplayer/Android TV user and you encounter out of sync issues with TrueHD, this is a known issue with PLEX, Exoplayer/Android TV and seamless branching that still after 3 years of being reported has not been fully fixed. If you're unlucky enough to encounter this then switch to an alternative audio track or use JellyFin instead of PLEX and select a none Exoplayer/Android TV external player... 2) For the Original Lossless 'SKYNET EDiTiON' DTS-HD MA ES 6.1 Matrix Track - select audio track 1. ~ NOTE ~ The likes of PLEX and JellyFin etc will see the DTS-HD MA ES 6.1 Matrix track as 5.1 as they only read the 'Core Values' so make sure you have 'Audio Passthrough' enabled to a DTS-HD ES 6.1 Matrix compatible device/receiver. 7 Channel layout: C L R Ls Rs LFE Cb 3) For the non-lossless, 'SKYNET EDiTiON' DD+ compatibility 5.1 Core Track - select audio track 2. Please keep in mind I am not a multi-million dollar film studio with a team of employees and access to all the original film negatives, etc etc - so don't be expecting miracles. I am just one man, one Pirate, not a group, not a website, I work alone and release video's as an enthusiast/hobbyist in my spare time for non-profit... I'm KC aka CptKC, do not mistake me for any other group or any other indexer/uploader. I currently only upload my 'public' releases to 'TPB' and 'EXT [dot] TO' so if you find them elsewhere then that's because someone-else has uploaded/indexed them there. Everything I release is 'seeded' from my own personal 200TB NAS Server, which is also used as my home PLEX / JellyFin Server. I try to seed until a ratio of 4.0 plus on everything, before removing it from my seed list. So remember to thank me and not some indexer... lulz... It's me that does the work and tries to fulfil your many [requests] - I do try to do as many as I can but for obvious reasons not all can be fulfilled, as I don't own everyone's choice of blurays to RIP/REMUX and I don't have every REMUX out there ever released on my Home NAS Server, so do keep that it mind. Cheers matey's ;) [[ SKYNET EDiTiON / SPECiAL EDiTiON vs Theatrical Cut:............................................................:- ]] The MAiN Key Differences:- Runtime: The [SKYNET EDiTiON] Special Edition is roughly 16 minutes longer than the 'Theatrical Cut' version. The MAiN new Scenes in the [SKYNET EDiTiON] Special Edition:- Sarah Connor's disturbing nightmare sequence featuring Kyle Reese and a bombing scene. The T-1000 killing John's dog after it's revealed he was lied to. A crucial scene where John and Sarah access the T-800's CPU to change it from a "read-only" to a "read-write" memory, allowing it to learn and adapt. Audio Commentaries:- Commentary #1 Production Commentary (1993):- This track focuses on the production aspects of the film, providing behind-the-scenes details and information about the challenges and successes of making Terminator 2. Commentary #2 James Cameron & William Wisher Commentary (2003):- This track features director James Cameron and screenwriter William Wisher discussing the film in real-time. Cameron and Wisher's commentary was particularly anticipated as it was Cameron's first time providing an audio commentary of this type for a film. The commentaries originally appeared on the 1993 LaserDisc and the 2000 Ultimate Edition DVD before being compiled on the 2009 'SKYNET EDiTiON' Bluray..
