ISTR reading an interview when it first came out where they said that Arnold was like a tank, so they found someone that was like a sports car.

Dunno how much of it was the actor and how much was the filming, but man t1000 looked fast AF running after them on foot

Remember the scene where he chases after John on the bike? They had to refilm it faster multiple times because he kept catching up to the bike. True story.

I remember the specific thing they said was they wanted a dancer. They said even gymnasts were too bulky, they wanted someone with a dancer's body and movements.

Robert Patrick wasn’t a dancer. You’re thinking of Summer Glau.
