Terminator 2 footage

Action scenes involving stealing the anthrax and subsequent destruction of the building were taken directly from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Not much editing has been done to conceal this matter, as Arnold Schwarzenegger is once clearly visible driving an armored van. Moreover, the Cyberdyne Systems name is well known to Terminator fans. Another scene in the movie involving a helicopter were taken out of Rambo: First Blood Part II.
