James Cameron Criticizes Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Terminator 2' Ideas as "Sick"

James Cameron's decision to transform Arnold Schwarzenegger's villainous cyborg character into a hero in "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" was initially met with skepticism by Schwarzenegger, who wanted to maintain the brutality of the first film. Schwarzenegger's desire for more violence was partly motivated by his rivalry with Sylvester Stallone. However, Cameron stuck to his plan and even removed more violence from the script, leading Schwarzenegger to call him a "very sick guy" for not allowing his character to kill anyone in the sequel.
