How have I gone my whole 29 years without knowing of this reels existence before this very moment! This is a wonderful surprise in an otherwise challenging year. What a treat this video is to me. Thank-you for uploading and thank-you YT recommendation!
*Gets recommended Short Circuit 2 gag reel* “Cool, I wonder why this wasn’t on any of the home releases?” *A few seconds after pressing play* “Ah, I see.”
Lol I have loved this movie since I was ten and it always will have a goode spot in my heart and I must say seeing Johnny Five mess up best robot ever ten times better than google or Alexa or Seri because they are not alive get it Johnny is alive and acts like it unlike the AIs that are on my phone and tablet omg are they stupid as well...
I saw this for the first time today and I smiled like I was back in my childhood. I am surprised how well J5 interacts like a real person. I’m sure it makes the job much easier for the actors, but not for the puppeteers. ;D
I was beyond obsessed with this movie as a kid and I died and went to HEAVEN when my parents took me to Toronto and I got to see some of the locations where Johnny 5 was filmed! I still have a photo of little me standing in the Eaton Center happy as a pig in shit! The entire time I was in Toronto I was hellbent on finding that location at the end where Johnny 5 is turned gold. I was convinced I found it at one point but I don't think I really did :D Man that was fun stuff...I was still young enough at the time to believe that that movie (along with Johnny 5) were real.
The ending looks like outside Toronto City Hall. The podium would be in front of the old city hall and you can see the new (not so new anymore) one in the background when he leaps.
The fact all the puppeteers are completely immersed into the character and in sync is incredible. Even when they mess up, they all still react together to do something believable as a genuine reaction from Johnny 5.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! Now 20 minutes - that's a proper gag reel! (Just wish in those 20 minutes there was more stuff with the other actors ... like Cindy Gibb!)
Seeing all of these bloopers, gags, and outtakes really shows you how much fun that the cast was having when making Short Circuit 2. Even hearing Johnny 5's outtakes were incredibly funny, and hearing him swear after messing up his lines was a real treat. This film truly felt like a labor of love from the crew who was working on it. You can tell that they had a genuinely fun time while shooting. Johnny 5 probably will also love the internet of today with the way he constantly references media. He'd have the whole internet at his fingertips, on speed dial (and speed reading).
Actually, I bet they would still go practical for most of it. It would really depend what any robots were doing that would decide on a scene by scene basis, but most shots today would still be done with practical. The swinging grab would probably be done CGI instead, but scenes with actors would still be a puppet.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us, this should have been on the Blu Ray release or even on the dvd release but nope never was. Cheers in 2019 !!!
Tim Blaney (Johnny's voice) was also one of the on-set puppeteers - in the first movie he controlled the head, but here I think he was probably wearing the telemetry suit developed for the sequel that controlled the whole upper body and arms.
@@rhysdavies4615 Tim Blaney was not involved in the puppeteering on this movie. He only provided the voice. Because this movie was shot in Toronto, a Candian team of puppeteers that included Rob Mills, Trish Leeper, and Gordon Robertson were brought on board. Rob Mills did the head and provided the on-set voice which was later dubbed by Tim Blaney. Gordon Robertson operated the telemetry suit, and Trish Leeper had done the eyebrows and other features. The director, Kenneth Johnson, originally wanted to keep Rob Mills' voice, but he was later convinced to bring back Tim Blaney.
@@ChrisEsper I can't believe it's taken me nine months to notice a reply to this - thanks for the really informative info. I find it amazing that's not Tim Blaney, because it sure sounds like him, not just in the pitch but also in the cadance and patter of Johnny's dialogue (especially in bits such as the Los Locos chant). If that is Mills, that I guess it helps explain in-part the evolution of Johnny's vocal mannerisms between films one and two, if Blaney was dubbing over Mills' performance.
@@rbdaviesTB3 This on-set voice is the same voice used in Johnny's interview with Bobbie Wynett that has been recently posted on RU-vid. You can briefly see the man puppeting him and doing the voice in that video. But I don't know what Rob or Tim looked like in 1988.
One of the best blooper reels ever! Also cool to see how easy going Michael McKean is in all this. We'll have to bring Gutenberg back for the next one.
1:33 "Woah! But wait, subterranean excavation requires many permits! Department of planning, City water commissioners, zoni-ifuckedupmyline-" never thought I'd hear a sweet soul day such a thing, lol
A company in the UK is releasing a deluxe Blu-ray of Short Circuit 2 with a new director's commentary this month. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon UK. It won't play on standard Blu-ray players in the U.S. though.
I think the boat scene was freaking hilarious. But there is *NO WAY* that you could pay me enough money to do a stunt like that! I mean, there's a chance that you could get hit by the robot when he swings down, and that alone would be enough to knock someone out. And at that point, I'd expect J5 to bring me flowers.
"And if I talked better I'd be a star... I'd be fu**ing Fischer Stevens!" Lmao this quip is golden considering Fischer was giving his all putting on that Indian accent.
@@beadelf8158 It is, although to clear it for commercial release they had to remove the songs, bleep the swearing, and cut out about five minutes worth of material.
The way he screams when Johnny lurches towards him unexpectedly is darkly hilarious... he seems more comfortable in scenes where Johnny's torso is in a fixed position and he's less likely to be run over
Pretty sure he did in that one scene so his feet wouldnt get crushed but several hundred pounds, I'd be a bit edgy too if I was an actor for my safety of course.
Sorry, but I had to laugh so hard when I saw the outtakes from 11:00, especially the scene at 11:32 - when his head falls apart from the "throat" - even the short music stop made it more hilarious. Doesn't seem to me as if Johnny 5 was THAT MUCH ALIVE anymore.. Sorry but I couldn't stop laughing about this, even thought both parts of SC are one of my most favourite, cherished and beloved movies.
After seeing that particular moment when him getting whacked by the boat, I'm just glad that nobody got seriously injured during that. I mean, can you imagine, the weight of that giant robot hitting you full force when swinging downward from the crane? *HOLY HELL*! I don't think I'll be able to go out on a boat ever again now after watching that little blooper for fear of a robot KO'ing me LOL
That hurt me a bit watching the J5 getting whacked by the boat in that stunt, glad he never fell in the water after that, and that no one was injured of course.
It’s funny but at the same time weird watching a film that you grew up with as a child the actors and Johnny 5 swearing 😂😂😂 Great outtakes by the way and how did you get this footage ? Also do you have any outtakes from the first film ?
Yeah, my dad and I happened to be on Yonge street when they were shooting a scene with Johnny 5 right out in the open. We caught a bit of him performing before security, (the police), shoo’d us away.
@@lis9439 Only the chassis from Johnny 5 was used on the robot in "Deadly Friend." There were numerous sources as to where the robots are currently. One was apparently in the home of the producer, David Foster, who recently passed away. There is also one that is in the home of a private collector. The gold-plated one was said to be spotted at Disney.
@@ChrisEsper That's a really lucky break - I envy you. I heard a wonderful anecdote from Johnson in an interview that after SC2 he had to go through a grieving process - although he could still meet and talk to Johnny's puppeteers, Johnny himself was effectively 'dead' without the synergy of the puppetry team working together with the robot prop. A few years later he glimpsed one of the robots at a props warehouse and turned down an offer to go inspect it up close, simply because seeing a 'lifeless' Johnny felt to him like an open-casket funeral!
@@ChrisEsper According to the clapper board it's scene 16A - checking the script this is indeed a deleted scene that showed Jones and Saunders (Oscar's goons) digging the tunnel with the aid of a laser projector (the 'Holiday Inn' design is probably just a placeholder). The script has a few small scenes of the tunnel being dug/blasted that are interspersed with the opening scenes (the airport, Ben and Fred's street sales) that appear to have been cut for brevity, the final cut of the film only revealing their presence and existence after we arrive at the old building.
@@rhysdavies4615 Correct. I also have the original script and looked through it and noticed what you're saying. There is quite a few number of scenes that didn't make the cut. One of the writers of the film, S.S. Wilson, said that the first cut of Short Circuit 2 was nearly 2 1/2 hours. Needless to say, a lot of drastic cuts had to be made. You can tell as you watch the movie as to where cuts were made.
It makes no sense that nobodies rebuilt one of these considering the modern obsession with drones and robots. Imagine what boston dynamics could do with this design if they could ignore making the thing balance on dumb human legs.
OH BOY do I have *NEWS* for you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IAr-lUjb9FE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1UEoPVU0k6s.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RbHlqQtyWT4.html
Hoffe es geht denn Schauspielern heute gut. Außer denn andern drei'n die Jonny 5 fast getötet hätten auch wenn es nur ein Film ist wahr mir das als Kind die Hölle und wahr sehr traurig da drüber 😢
