In the uncut version of the film, a character's pet dog is killed off camera, though you hear it occurring.

Sarah is institutionalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia because of her story about the terminator stuff. in her annual review she's forced to play along and pretend like she really was crazy all along.

It's not would-be-romantic stalking, but both Terminators stalk John at the beginning and the T-1000 continues to pursue John & Sarah throughout the movie.

There is no physical abuse of a child in this movie. Telling a disrespectful, unruly teenager to clean their room is not abuse. The boy not liking his foster parents is not abuse. There's no mention of any abuse on their part, nor is any seen. The boy calling them "dicks" doesn't confirm they are abusive. It just confirms he's a resentful teenager.

At most you could argue there's emotional neglect on the part of the adoptive parents and biological mother. That's it.

What seems to be a partner kills another partner. It was a terminator but could be triggering.

not technically but Terminator cuts his arm open and it looks a lot like self harm, see the notes about "does someone self-harm?"

Not a human head, but a robot gets punched in the head which then morphs into hands.

The T1000 Terminator can morph its body to make pointed/bladed weapons. It stabs several people to death.

There is very mild gore, but nothing above PG-13 level and it's hardly 'excessive'

Miles Dyson dies when he's shot by the police then sacrifices himself to blow up the laboratory. Earlier it looks like Sarah is about to shoot him in front of his family and it's very emotional and difficult to watch

In a way, the T-1000 could be seen as posessing the people it copies.

There is a scene where it copies someone and then confronts that person as himself".

Not in a prison, but Sarah is an involuntary long-term inmate in the high security wing of a mental institution, which involves similar kinds of traumatic experiences.

Almost the opposite... some cops are bystander/victims of the T-1000, but otherwise they play obstacle or antagonistic roles.

Whether Sarah is actually mentally ill or not could be debated, but the scenes of her in the mental hospital definitely merit a trigger warning for this category.

To the comment about the T-1000 shapshifting:

Body dysmorphia disorder (BDD) is a body-image disorder characterized by persistent and intrusive preoccupations with an imagined or slight defect in one's appearance.
This means that the afflicted person cannot stop thinking negatively about their appearance, or aspects of it.
It has nothing to do with shapeshifting appearances.

Yes, very much so. A main character repeatedly experiences flashbacks, traumatic memories, and nightmares from a past trauma as well as knowledge of traumatic, future events. This shapes the petson's motivations and behavior.

It's not intense, but there's a moment in the climax where John is being pushed away from his mother on an industrial conveyor with no room to escape. If a viewer made it through the industrial press scene in T1 without trouble, this one won't be a problem.

Technically the T-100 asks to be killed and that he can't kill himself. It is played as self sacrifice vs suicide.

There's cursing in the movie, but not excessive.

A person is licked on the face by another while restrained and without consent.

No. No one is known to be pregnant, much less shown to die while pregnant in this movie.
Considering obscure possibilities is not the purpose of these trigger warnings. It's about what's actually shown or directly implied in the movie.

Of the main characters, yes. If you include secondary characters, then no (foster parents die first).

In the very beginning, when the two cyborgs are transported to present day, they arrive without any clothing, but you only get a brief glimpse of one's bare buttocks.

Drowning is inhaling liquid into the lungs, which disrupts gas exchange, resulting in death. No one drowns in this movie. Two cyborgs are melted in a vat of molten steel. They don't drown. They physically can't drown.

Not super gory, however, people do get shot, and punched. There is a scene where the main character, (a cyborg-robot being) has a little portion of his head open, with a bit of blood but all of the insides are robotic. There's another scene where he is cuts around his arm on the skin and tears it off, revealing a robotic arm.

A dream sequence depicts a nuclear explosion in graphically realistic detail, including the deaths of children.
