Who directed the film Terminator 2, which featured 'You Could Be Mine'?

James Cameron directed Terminator 2, the film that featured Guns N’ Roses’ “You Could Be Mine.”

The song appeared in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the 1991 science-fiction action sequel starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Robert Patrick. Cameron directed the film and co-wrote its screenplay with William Wisher.

“You Could Be Mine” was released as a Guns N’ Roses single on June 25, 1991, and also appeared on Use Your Illusion II. Its music video blended concert footage with scenes and imagery from Terminator 2, including the T-800 character. Schwarzenegger reportedly helped bring the band into discussions for the film.

A common mix-up is confusing the film’s director with the music-video directors. The “You Could Be Mine” video was directed by Andy Morahan, Stan Winston, and Jeffrey Abelson, while Cameron directed Terminator 2 itself. Cameron also directed the original The Terminator and later films including Titanic and Avatar.
