The hit film Terminator 2: Judgment Day is widely considered to be among the very best sequels of all time, but perhaps that wouldn't have been the case if Arnold Schwarzenegger had his ideas used. In the original Terminator movie, released by co-writer and director James Cameron in 1984, Schwarzenegger played a murderous cyborg sent from the future to terminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), the mother of John Connor, the man who'd one day lead the human resistance in their war against the machines.
