Terminator 2
I know it's been out a while, but after viewing some of the featurettes for the first time just now, there's an alternate ending that I can't seem to access.
One internet posting explained that the digits "82997" typed after the Special Edition was selected (which seems to imply the 'Ultimate Edition') unlocks this alternate ending. You get positive confirmation in the form of both the menu Terminaotr's eyes lighting.
This isn't working for me at all. I have tried typing 82997 at several places - no alternate ending. Does anyone know how to access it, and heaven-forbid that the DVD producers just put it in a deleted scenes section (like the T-1000 going through John Connor's room - only seen in the one featurette)?

I didn't know about the Future... wording, but I entered 82997 several times - nothing. this was done on my main DVD player, and my Mac. I would be nice to learn why it won't work for me.
I just found the two scenes I referenced in the Chapter 38 Omitted Scenes, under Side B, Data Hub, Data Core, Core Data Sampling. Talk about deleted scened being buried.

I chose Special Edition, got the resulting sub-menu (Sensory Control, Mission Profiles...), and with "Play Special Edition" hilited, I tried waiting - 1 full minute - after hiting the "8" - nothing. So I tried hitting each slowly (about 2 full seconds between entering the next number) - still nothing. stopping, and replaying the disc, this time pushing enter after each digit - but that engaged the Special Edition (as if nothing other than the enter button has been pushed).
Sure wish this worked on mine.

OK. It just worked. I had to hit enter after each digit, and it only works on my 'main' DVD player - not my Mac.
The main player interprets each number as a potential chapter search, so if the Mac has/had a way to have its keystrokes be iterpreted the same way by its DVD Player software, it might work on the Mac too.
Anyways, it appears to work (thanks), so the next time I watch it, I'll very likely enter the combination and see this Extended Special Edition for the first time. As a last comment on this, would it have killed them to include instructions on this in the DVD's booklet? Even better, why not just include this Extended play mode at the menu without any key combinations to 'unlock' it? That way, *any* DVD player that could read the disc could view it.

Glad you got it working.

This is the UE one right? Not the Metel Covered one that came out when T3 was released?
Also, when are we going to get a pimped out DVD of the original? As a kid that was one of my favorite films. Personaly it ecks out T2.
