The Terminator makes good on his promise not to kill anyone even before he meets John. For all of the mayhem and violence in this movie, the body count is sixteen (at the most), and only two of these by gunfire (the mall employee and Miles Dyson). The people who get killed are (in chronological order): three soldiers, the armored truck driver and his gunner in the Future War; the cop on patrol who encounters the newly-arrived T-1000; a mall employee; Todd and Janelle Voight (the latter implied); Lewis the guard; the cop on the motorcycle (copied by T-1000 and therefore implied to have been terminated off-screen); Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson, and the tanker truck driver. The trucker pulled from his truck by T-1000 as he is in pursuit of John makes a bad fall, but probably survived. The police helicopter pilot falls from a height, but probably only suffered some broken bones. The pickup truck driver is probably not in danger of dying as he does not jump off the bridge, but only jumps over the center divider in the middle of the bridge. A subplot was scripted where the T-1000 tracks down Enrique Salceda and kills him, but it was not filmed and not alluded to in the finished movie (it is implied that he follows Sarah's suggestion and goes into hiding himself). The T-1000 is directly or indirectly responsible for most (seven) of the deaths; the Terminator only injures people. According to a biographical documentary, Arnold Schwarzenegger only agreed to do the sequel if his role was more family-friendly, hence the "no killing" rule written for his character. However, on multiple occasions and on the DVD audio commentary, James Cameron has stated that he had to convince Schwarzenegger that his character could no longer kill people.
