- This is the third film in the Terminator franchise to feature Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. She previously appeared in The Terminator, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
- This film opens with archival footage of Sarah Connor from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The scene also includes off-camera archival audio of Earl Boen as Doctor Peter Silberman from that film.
- In terms of continuity, this film is considered a soft sequel, which is to say: It continues from the continuity of The Terminator, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which ignoring the events of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator: Salvation, and Terminator: Genisys, as well as the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles spin-off television series.
- There are two key elements of the film which illustrates the series' departure from the previous three installments. Firstly, Sarah Connor is still alive, even though Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines established that the character had died of cancer.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles present an older John Connor who obviously survived the aftermath of Judgment Day.

- This is the first credited film work for Mexican actress Alejandra Mayo. It is her first work in the science fiction genre.
