10 Movie Details You Totally Missed The First Time

3. An Unexpected Returning Character? - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

You might remember the darkly comical sequence from the first Terminator where the villainous T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) commandeers a police car after knocking an unsuspecting cop unconscious.

The cop is played by none other than William Wisher Jr., a friend of James Cameron who contributed "additional dialogue" to the movie, and also co-wrote the film's novelisation.

Amusingly, Wisher re-appears in the sequel, this time playing a man, possibly a tourist, who comes face to face with the new T-800 and the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) as they battle through the Galleria.

Fans have since suspected that these men could in fact be the same character, though Wisher confirmed that he only played the photographer after the original extra, intended to play a Japanese tourist, missed his flight.

Either way, there's no reason for Cameron and co. to debunk this and deny fans their own head-canon. Are we to assume that the cop took early retirement after almost getting his skull caved in by the T-800?
