10 Things You Didn't Know About Short Circuit

I once made a Video Called Short Circuit
A Copyright Claim tried to jerk it
I took it down
And had a frown
Now I’ve edited and its back up so let’s work it!

"Hey Laser-Lips, your Momma was a Snow-Blower" LOL!!!

Surprised there was so little mention of Ally Sheedy, not only was her character quite developed and deep for an 80's female role in a comedy, her ability to act so convincingly with an inanimate object contributed greatly to his believablity. She carries a huge part of this movies success.

I really liked part 2 as well. " Los locos kick your A$$, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer

[Rinavani]

Gosh I sure miss the eighties. Best decade of movies.

"Johnny Five is alive!" I always had a soft spot for this movie, it was a vital part of my childhood. Johnny Five reminds me of WALLE, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was his primary inspiration.

"Today Crosby! Today!" - even now I still use this line.

[HellOnWheel]

As far as Johnny Five not having the emotional connection of ET, I totally cried it looked like he was killed at the end, and also in SC2 when he was beat up and had to steal a car battery to stay alive.

[AtheistOrphan]

Clearly the influence for the design of Wall*E.

I absolutely adored this movie as a little kid in the 80's. I must have watched it a dozen times when my mum rented it for me on vhs.

[TheConnonedrum]

Im not going to lie in the second one when they beat Johnny down and that sad piano music came on. Broooo...as a child there were tears.

[furiouskaiser]

Batteries Not Included was another movie from that era with cutsie robots. That one and Short Circuit are solid pillars of my childhood memories.

I watched Short Circuit 2 a few weeks ago on Youtube for free, and i'd forgotten how emotional that scene is where Johnny gets beat up by the thugs. I'm 48 years old and i had tears in the corner of my eyes! My autistic 12-yr-old loves Wall-E and robot/machine beings so i thought i'd share these movies with him, and i think the first one is fine, but idk how he'll handle watching Johnny take a beating.

Minty, I hope you never quit making these videos. Your content is like a warm blanket on a cold evening for us old-school movie nerds.

"Hey laser lips, your momma was a snow blower!"

[wstine]

I love short-circuit and it's a sequel as a kid. I always wanted a toy Johnny 5. Was Steve Guttenberg and GW bailey, this could be an unofficial Police Academy spin-off.

[mattmaru]

One of my childhood favorites and an absolute classic.

"When you have to go, don't squeeze the charmin." LOL!!!

[nephimcknight]

Man I loved this movie when I was a little kid. We watched it so much, it wore out the vhs tape. Such great memories attached to this film.

[de-fault_de-fault]

My introduction to existential dread...this and Brave Little Toaster. Well, I still love them both anyway, crippling anxiety or not.
