Sex & Nudity

  • A woman cyborg is naked from her backside, buttocks and her hair is covering some of her breast, from across the street. As she walks towards a car, then the camera focuses upward, to her face.
  • The Terminator walks into a ladies night strip bar fully nude, all we see are buttocks, however the women in the bar aggressively ogle him and hoot. He interacts with the male stripper on stage. The scene lasts a few minutes.
  • After getting pulled over by a police officer, the female Terminator sees a Victoria's Secret billboard and expands her breasts to a larger size.

Violence & Gore

  • The film contains some strong bloody violence.
  • The TX squeezes John's ankle. He screams in pain and limps for the rest of the movie.
  • T-X drives up to the ordering window of a drive-thru restaurant; she pulls out a gun and begins firing it. The camera cuts away to a very long shot. Basically we just hear the gunshots - we never see the corpse or the impact or anything; all of this is offscreen.
  • A man opens a door and finds T-X; she pushes him to the ground and shoots him repeatedly offscreen.
  • A man crushes another man's hand (no blood, not graphic at all).
  • In one scene, many people are slaughtered by robots. Not very much blood is seen.
  • A woman is shot; she falls to the floor, with a wound in her chest. T-X walks over to her, and touches the wound.

Profanity

  • Three uses of fuck 2 in one scene. There are several other words like "Shit", "Asshole", "Dick", "Bitch", "Damn" and "Hell" used throughout the movie as well.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Teenagers are having a party, drinking some light alcohol. A boy says he hears his parents and tells everyone to hide the alcohol.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The third film (in terms of violence and intensity) is more mildly tamer than the first two making the violence come off as exciting rather than scary.
  • There is non stop action violence throughout.

  • Robert Brewster is shot repeatedly by T-X, a little bit of blood is seen.
  • T-X kills Scott, offscreen; we then hear a whirring sound and blood splashes onto a nightstand and picture frame.
  • T-X disguising as Scott in a car rams his hand through the driver's seat and impales the driver; a small amount of blood is shown on the interior of the car, but lots of it is seen on his chest. The man in the passenger seat is then killed. Very graphic for a 12A.
  • John Connor puts a gun to his head, threatening to kill himself.
