 FACT: According to the Police database in  _Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)_ (qv) John Connor was born in  1985 and is established as being 10 years old, therefore the film  was set in 1995. However, at the beginning of  _Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)_ (qv) Johns voiceover  says he was 13 during the events of Terminator 2. In the cemetery  scene John tells Katherine that his mother, Sarah Connor, had fought  with leukemia for 3 years before dying in 1997. This would have  meant she was diagnosed in 1994, before the events of Terminator 2  which made no reference to this. According to promotional material,  John Connor is 22 years old in  _Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)_ (qv), meaning that this  film should have been set in 2007 instead of 2003/2004.
