So it does seem there are 35mm prints out there with two different color palettes - the print Tyler saw, and seemingly the print that was camcorded on YouTube (more in line with the blue/orange of the video transfers, but possibly even more pushed to blue; possibly with the biker bar stuff having additional blue pushing that's not in the home transfers?), and the prints kaosjm and Beber saw (blue-blanket scenes less pure blue with more teal and purple, orange stuff is more yellow).
What they seem to have in common (with each other and with the IP/IPs used for home video) are that the night scenes are tinted/pushed - unlike the trailers - and the steel mill stuff is pushed, but to where/how far they are pushed seems to differ. The Wikipedia article on internegatives says that color timing is done between IP and IN - based on the answer print?
This is all so intriguing...
metall_havy sent me 2 copies of Terminator 2 sourced from 35mm. You can tell because they are 35mm source since they have lines, damage and reel changes. One copy has parts that matches up best with the BD. The other better matches with my test regrade. And both have parts that don't match up with either.If fact one of my questions has been the amount of purple in the film and both have it in spades but in different places. And there is various levels of green and levels of orange especially for the desert.
Here is an example of the hallway battle.
BD/Regrade/35mm Video 1/35mm Video 2/Super 8mm
This is all so confusing....

Since I own both the Skynet Blu (for the three cuts and extras) and the Van Ling No DNR 2015 Blu, it appears PDB's color timing would be what I'd want.
I'm using the 2015 BD as a base. Who knows if I'm right, just trying to figure out what T2 looks like without having a 35mm print. And Team Blu's version of Terminator were very nice.
