I share a possible future nod to actor Christian Bale who would play resistance fighter John Connor In 2009's Terminator: Salvation. Viewers Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991 may have missed this strong visual which occurs at 53 minutes into T2. SPOILER ALERT: There the two Terminators have arrived at the medical facility where Sarah Connor is simultaneously attempting to escape from. The T1000 (Patrick) is pursuing future soldier John (Furlong) & the T800 (Schwarzenegger) who has been reprogrammed to protect him.
At 54 minutes the T1000 (who's body is composed of an intelligent liquid metal) passes through prison style bars on a security gate in a stunning visual effects sequence (for the time period). I thought this a homophone-based future reference (BALE VS BAIL) to Christian Bale who would enter the series in the 2009 film.
