*On some releases, after the THX logo fades out, the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" (from the Broadway trailer) appears in the blue line. From 2001 to 2005, "Lucasfilm" was seen above the THX logo, similar to the Lucasfilm Ltd. byline's appearance on the 1995 "Broadway" logo variant. This was removed in late 2005 due to reflecting the 2002 split from Lucasfilm as mentioned above. | *On some releases, after the THX logo fades out, the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" (from the Broadway trailer) appears in the blue line.

*On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', the metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears, zooming toward us. Then, the rectangle gets blown by T-800 with the shotgun, as seen on the reflection. Pieces turn into T-1000 liquid metal and form the THX logo. After that, the THX logo fades out, and then it contains a message reading "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature" appears one by one as each text fades out before the other. Also, the Deep Note in this variant (the ''Terminator 2'' variant) is the same as the Broadway 2000 version. This is also on the Blu-ray releases with some differences: the THX logo fades into the standard logo, the "DIGITALLY" and "MASTERED" (a la Broadway '95) are replaced with "CERTIFIED," and the www.thx.com URL with a copyright notice appears; which served as the basis of Cavalcade. It appears on the Ultimate, eXtreme, initial Blu-ray, and Skynet editions of this film, but not the 2015 remastered or 4K Blu-ray releases. | *On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', the metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears, zooming toward us.

'''FX/SFX''': The sphere, as well as it shattering, the thunder, the shards liquefying and merging, the blue box is drawn, and the text fading. Just top-notch CGI all around. | '''FX/SFX''': The sphere, as well as it shattering, the thunder, the shards liquefying and merging, the blue box is drawn, and the text fading.

'''Music/Sounds''': A variety of instruments playing in sync with each plant, performed by Lost in the Sky. This ends with a less noisy version of the Deep Note, accompanied by the swoosh. Unlike the previous THX trailers, the music starts at the ending note (blended into the background instrumentation at first) and comes to a quick end rather than fading out smoothly. Mixed by Gary A. Rizzo at Skywalker Sound. | '''Music/Sounds''': A variety of instruments playing in sync with each plant, performed by Lost in the Sky.
