 The Australian theatrical release of T2 contained many of the scenes that  would eventually make it onto the special edition. These included the dream  sequence with Reese (but not Sarah being beaten up by the guards) and the  malfunctioning of the T1000 in the steel works factory and even the alternate  ending with Sarah as an older woman and John with a child of his own playing  in the park. However the rental video release and subsequent home video  releases were all the standard version.
