Anyone seen the 3rd (hidden) version of T2? If so, is it any different than the long version?

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm planning to watch it this weekend. It has an alternate ending as well as some additional scenes. (Although, I've heard the alternate ending was cut for a reason!) Here's how to get it.

Apart from the theatrical version and the Special Edition cut of the movie, Artisan Home Entertainment's phenomenal Ultimate Edition of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' also contains a third cut of the film, presented as a hidden feature on the disc.

Insert the side/disc that contains the feature presentation and from the disc's main menu, select 'Special Edition' which brings up a dedicated menu to access the film's Special Edition cut. On the right hand side of the panel you will notice some weird, unreadable symbols that will give you access to the hidden feature - actually they are roman numbers.
Take your remote control and press the key combination '82997' - the date of Judgment Day in the movie - and the symbols on the side should change to the text 'The Future Is Not Set.' If they don't, please make sure to press the 'Enter' key on your remote control after every one of the digits.
Once correctly entered, the eyes of the endoskeleton will light up and you will see a new menu entry appearing, giving you access to the 'Extended Special Edition' version of the movie with the alternate ending and other scenes integrated in the film.

If this approach is too tedious for you, there's an even simpler and faster way to access the additional cut. Simply use your remote control and go directly to Title 3 and you will also get to see the Extended Special Edition cut of the movie.

There's a much easier way. If your player has a "SEARCH" feature or you can directly select the "title" to play, it's #3. Title 2 is the Extended version, #1 is the theatrical version.

As mentioned in my last paragraph. :-)

Although if you use the title method, I don't think you get to see the endoskeleton light up both eyes...

Doh! ;-)

I thought this edition really rocked. And now to find out about this hidden version. Wow, i'll have to watch this yet again.

Daniel i love your site!!!
