I've also heard the original script had a scene where the Terminator eats a candy bar wrapper and all. It's funny but when first seeing this as a kid I never thought Terminators could eat anything. When you really think about it, it doesn't make much sense because the endoskeleton would just reject it. The way I understood it, the Terminator just had a covering of skin but didn't have human organs like intestines and a heart. So when you think of that, it makes sense why this was never filmed.

I think Camerons original idea was the Terminator had a circulatory system to keep the living tissue alive, which needed sustenance.

Terminator mutilated the wrong Sarah Connors to confirm if they had knee screws due to Sarah having a leg injury.
