why did the T1000 need her to call out to her son?
when earlier we saw that it could mimic human voice?
shareMassive blunder.
They didn't want to kill her and forgot I guess.

It could be that the T-1000s voice imitation was glitchy at that point (possible given the liquid nitrogen) and it couldn't imitate Sarah well enough and so it's better to force Sarah to call for John.
shareBut yet it does before turning into her duplicate towards the end and getting John to come over. -_-

up until that point the T-1000 never had a chance to sample Sarah's voice.
so it could not mimic her voice yet.
after she responded to him, even though she did not say what he wanted, he did manage to mimic her voice after that.
if she wouldn't say anything at all he wouldn't be able to mimic her voice at all.
I wondered the same thing. Maybe he did that with every one he mimicked, including Janelle. He had to make physical contact and then take a sample of their voices. The other side of the coin is the guard in the mental hospital. The T-1000 didn't sample him while he was talking, just walking in those shoes. That's why he never talks as the guard. That's why he looks at the rest of the interns with such apprehension. Maybe that's why he didn't mimic the cop in the beginning for the rest of the movie. He just took the look and feel of his clothes.
shareyou're wrong. right before he killed the guard, the guard said he had a full house to the nurse.
if he didn't then T1000 would probably first initiate a conversation before abruptly killing him.
this is one of the reason this is such a great film. there is literally no flaw in it. everything is perfect with great attention to each and every detail
He wasn't making physical contact with the T-1000 in that moment. The T-1000 was busy morphing into his physical form.
sharehe doesn't have to make physical contact while the person is talking to get a voice sample.
he only has to be close enough to hear it.
he got the physical sample when the guard stepped on him and only later got his voice print when he said he had a full house.
besides I don't think he even spoke after morphing into that guard when he was walking the corridors later, I don't think he ever spoke with his voice anyway.
so maybe he just got his physical form and wouldn't be able to say anything with his voice if he needed to. (might imitate some other guy's voice instead)
I think it needs to be pretty close to the subject, like almost like breathing distance.

That's a rather bold statement, don't you think? Allow me to direct you to the Goofs section. 😉

it's a good point, but why didn't it kill her once it had her sample?
"He's dusted, busted and disgusted, but he's ok" share
he was just about to kill her when Arnold showed up from behind

Well, I guess its to show how sadist and ruthless T-1000..
shareIf you watch the extended cut it's because T-1000 was damaged by getting frozen in nitrogen. In the extended cut he places his hand on a railing and his arm and hand turn the same color as the railing. Then after that he walks on the floor and his boots become the same color and texture as the floor. So yeah. He was damaged. There is only one glitching scene that was kept. It's after the T-1000 has pushed the T-800's arm into the big knob where it got stuck. There's a big grey line going up his head. Cameron kept those extra glitching scenes out cause he wanted it to be more hopeless so that it seemed like they had no chance of defeating the T-1000.

Yet the T-1000's imitation of her voice was flawless in the end and John actually believed it.
That cannot be it.

I think that is a really good question. I'm not trashing the writing. I just want to theorize.
The T-800 adapted to be more human. Cameron wanted the T-1000 to also be able to adapt. That's why it seems like he was torturing her with his finger knife. He's adapted to the cruelty of humanity. But why does he need her to call out to her son?
In the Special Edition, it's a little more obvious and understandable. He's malfunction badly. He may not be confident in using his abilities. BUT the theatrical version hints at the idea that he's malfunction with that flutter of liquid metal over his body. So, there it is.
It cannot be because in the end of the movie, he calls out to John just fine and John believes it.

It's possible the T-1000 could've simply imitated her voice, but I suspect it knew that if John knew his mother was in danger, John would try to help her, regardless of his own safety. John is like that in this film, which really shows he wants to do the right thing. Same with trying to save Sarah from the asylum, and stopping her from killing Dyson. He could've just fled to Mexico with the T-800 and waited for the bombs to drop, but he refused.
