Terminator Salvation

Old recordings of Sarah Connor are played in the film, with lines nearly word-for-word from The Terminator (1984). Linda Hamilton voiced the lines herself in an uncredited role.

(at around 20 mins) John Connor knows his father's name only from the records his mother left him. It is not made entirely clear how Skynet could have obtained that information too and how it can identify Kyle Reese by his face (something which is not known even to John). However, it's entirely plausible, given Skynet's access to global information, that it could have obtained such information from records of events shown in previous Terminator films, such as Kyle Reese's arrest record and subsequent filmed interview in The Terminator (1984); this would have given Skynet a picture of his face, which could then be used in conjunction with facial recognition software to identify him. Additionally, during the many interviews between Dr. Silberman and Sarah Connor in the mental institution shown in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sarah Connor very openly talks about Kyle Reese and his role in future and past events. Between Kyle Reese's arrest records and Sarah Connor's medical records, Skynet would have all the information it needed. Plot hole - Skynet should have never known about Kyle Reese. If it knew that Kyle was to be sent back in time to father John Conner, it could have prevented it by not creating the time travel device and not sending the Terminator. Kyle would not be able to travel to the past and John would not have been born.

Released on Blu-Ray as an R-rated director's cut with about three minutes of extra footage:

• When John Connor and company infiltrate the underground base, a sentry robot pops up and is quickly dispatched. This scene was present in the teaser trailer.
• Extra dialogue between Connor and Ashdown on the submarine. Ashdown points a gun at Connor's head and says he doesn't believe in prophecy.
• Blair bathes in the rain for a moment then sees Marcus looking at her. She covers herself and Marcus turns away.
• The scene with the two marauders is more violent. Marcus is actually showing stabbing one of them in the shoulder with a screwdriver, the fistfight with the second guy is longer, and a bloody impact is seen when Blair shoots one of the marauders in the leg.
• Longer dialogue from Blair during the campfire scene with Marcus.
• The sequence of the man being shot trying to scale the fence at the Skynet processing center is slightly longer.
• John Connor's speech to the remaining resistance forces is extended.
• The fight between the T-800 and Marcus is a few seconds longer.
• Marcus trying to revive John Connor is slightly longer.
