I was actually rooting for the next alternate shot (from IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/alternateversions):
Another alternate take that was shown in the Canadian television version was during the scene where the Terminator shoots the owner of the gun shop. In the theatrical version, you actually see the owner get blown away, but in the television version, it replaces this with a view from outside the store. You hear the shotgun blast and then you see the door of the shop swing open.
Also interesting are the alternate lines of dialogue:
When aired on TV, many alterations are made. Like when Terminator confronts the punks and orders them to turn over their clothes, Bill Paxton's response of "Fuck you, Asshole" is changed to "Eat this, scum!"; Vukovich's remark of 'Like shit, boss' is changed to 'Like you've been dead for a week'; etc. etc.
Molly, do you know if your tv cut has these changes and the alternate shot?
