10 Films With Multiple Different Cuts

The Terminator films have faced their fair share of criticisms over the years, whether that be through the breaking of their own rules and failing to comply with their own logic or because Terminator Genisys was a thing that was allowed to happen unironically, there was a time when the Terminator films were pretty darn impressive.

When Terminator 2: Judgment Day dropped in 1991, the critics lapped it up, praising the sequels ingenuity and the brilliant performances from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, and Edward Furlong, as well as the fantastic use of CGI.

Over the years, the Terminator films have received modest modifications here and there, a remastering of the soundtrack and a quick little polish of the special effects here and there, have been welcomed by fans (unlike certain other Sci-Fi films), however, in 2015 the fans received a different treat, in the form of the Extended Edition.

While the Extended Edition featured a number of re-added deleted scenes, the Extended Edition also features an alternate ending, which shows an elderly Sarah Connor watching an adult John Connor, (now a U.S. Senator), playing with his daughter in a playground in 2029, telling the audience that Judgment Day never happened.

While the film doesn't really mess with the tone too much, most fans tend to prefer the original cut, as not only are they used to it, but the new scenes don't really add too much by way of narrative, especially since the alternate ending isn't considered canon in the Terminator world. While it certainly adds some context to scenes, its really just something that adds to the Terminator lore, but it's definitely worth a watch and you'd be a fool not to!
