T3 References To Previous Terminator Movies
I caught a few, maybe I am just imagining but here is what I saw:
1.) Arnold checks John Conner in car similar to way Sarah Conner checks out John after Pescadero escape in T2 (for injuries)
2.) Kate Brewster and John Conner bond over making explosives, much the same way Sarah Conner and Kyle Reese do. (T1)
3.) Arnold's Hulk Smash when he disobeys the "corrupt" programming is similar to Sarah's smash of the table when she decides not to smash the CPU (Seen only in T2 Special Edition)

I was totally waiting for Arnold to say to anyone, "Come with me if you want to live." It totally would have worked in several places in the first half of the film. Meh.

Yes, I noticed the POV "casualties" - one thing of interest in T2 - they had human casualties with 00.0 with a decimal point, this time they had it 000 (no decimal point) - just a little joke. I liked the .0 part of T2 better.

One thing I was thinking about while watching T3 was that I don't get why they keep sending back the T-100 model of the Terminator to protect John Conner from the newer T1000 and Terminatrix terminators. Why not send at T1000 in T2 to protect him, or a Terminatrix in T3? There wouldn't be Arnold in it, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: Actually, there is a chain gun in T3 but it's a whole different story when compared to the chain gun in T2.

1. The movie was called 'Terminator'
2. Arnold was in it.
3. There was a character named John Connor who was in both movies.
4. John was protected by a Terminator who was much weaker than the Terminator trying to terminate John in both movies.
5. Terminator wears the exact same clothing in every movie despite having the ability to wear anything it wants.

Actually in T1 we see a different model Terminator invade the base in one of Kyle Reese's flashbacks.
Remember, the model # referes to the look the Terminator has when it's infiltrating. For example, model 101 is the type that looks like Arnold. When they have no felsh atop and are simply and endoskeleton it a T-#. In otherwords, all the Terminators we see as ground troops in the future war sequences are T-800's. The T-800 Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 is the Terminator we've seen Arnold portray in all three movies.
I don't know how Mostowe and company could have goofed and had the T-800 refer to himself as a T-101 when he should have said "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101" like Arnie said in T2. If we're to believe that Arnie is a so-called T-101 he wouldn't even have human tissue since he'dbe older than the T-600's that used rubber skin when they would go on infiltration missions.

In all three we get to see the Terminator's endo-skeleton behind his flesh.
You see his robot arm and half his robot face in all of them.
And of course, someone will always "be back!"

And calling the Arnold Terminators T-101 is incorrect because it means he'd be older than the T-600 series and those did not have living tissue available to them for infiltrations. The T-600 series only had rubber flesh available to them and it seems unreasonable that a much older series Terminator would be fitted with infiltration technology that is much more advanced than that of a later (and at its time state-of-the-art) series Terminator.

While watching Terminator 3 I was reminded of the first two during . . . every single frame of the movie!
Really, I was surprised at how much the third is just a pastiche of the first two. But I give it credit for doing it so enthusiastically.
