Not so much a plot hole but a query.
In Terminator 2, does the T1000 simply mimic the police officers clothing or does he actually take them similar to Arnie taking clothing (if so why doesn't he mimic the rest of him ie his face)

Mimics them. The clothes fix themselves after he's shot a number of times. That uniform is always prestine to be fair! 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

In Terminator 2 would John not cease to exist at the end of the film if the terminators were killed off and all the chips destroyed thus preventing Terminators being invented in the future, thus his father had no need to be a human resistance fighter, thus the future never happened.  Because his father didnt travel back in time then he wouldn't have been shagging Sarah Connors and therefore John would not exist.

Therefore Sarah and John Connor by killing the Terminators should have inadvertertently killed John.

Or Am I wrong?

They forgot the other arm left in the machine!

Also a US defense R&D department would have had all the top engineers and scientists in the world reverse engineering the parts found in 1984 until 1991. You'd imagine they'd have had made some progress there and at a minimum had all their data backed up offsite.

It doesn't really explain it in any of the sequels anyway so I'd regard it as a plothole!

Yeah definitely a plot hole, John Connor should faded away Back to the future style.

I think though it is kinda explained in Terminator 3 that the events of 2 only delayed judgement day by a few years as they had wiped out Dysons research but not others,  there's a throwaway line during the introduction to Dyson where a guy tells him that someone is here to look at the terminator equipment.

Arnie died for nuffink.

Also as a Terminator is a machine so why does the Terminator look like a man in his mid 30s in the first film but looks like about 50 in the T2?

Why is his age important though? Obviously you cant have him going around as an OAP cyborg but dont see a difference between him being 30s or 50.

Just checked there and Arnie was 45ish.

I cant remember fully but he was manufactured and sent back to present time in his current state yes? So what you see in the movie is what he was in the future, and they gave him human cell tissue to age like any of us, i guess in the event that he needed to blend in if it was going to be a long mission. 

I used to think as a kid, why didnt they hop on a plane? The walk thru metal detectors aside (were they as in place as they are today?) I mean air travel wasnt like it is now, like hopping on a bus in the 90s and sure Arnie could just fly a plane himself to some far off island and best of luck to the T finding him and JC on the island he grew up on in Twins.

In T2 how does a 12 year old child use a crappy atari to break into ATMs and extract money and also break into the Cyberdyne vault?

I for one also want to know how his computer had power seeing as he want near a wall socket

In Meet the Parents, when a humiliated Greg is waiting to board the plane and the check in lady makes him wait until his row is called, there is nobody else in the waiting area, which gives us the impression the flight is empty.

Yet when he eventually boards the flight, the cabin is full. Confused

In Silence of the Lambs Jodie Foster is walkign out of the cell area after meeting Hannibal Lecter.  One of the occupants Mig throws his spunk on her.   Lecter calls out to her and says that was a despicable thing Mig did.

But there's no way he could have seen what happened from his cell as it was around the corner from his glassed encased cell
