YEP *Short Circuit 2* is BETTER Than the First (Commentary/Reaction) 

Leave a like and comment down below your favorite Johnny 5 moment 😁

Even as an adult, seeing Johnny 5 get beat to death while he pleads for his life is genuinely disturbing and heartbreaking!

That Taxi driver is the MVP, has zero context and is immediately down to help

Johnny 5 is legendary 😎⚡

Short Circuit’s intro is awesome! Short Circuit 2’s intro is legendary!

Fun Fact in case you didn't know. Tim Blaney who voiced Johnny Five in both Short Circuit films also was a puppeteer for the first Short Circuit. He controled the head and neck in the first film and also voiced Number 5 on set while filming. At one point they thougjt replacing the onset voice with another voice. But the cast and crew got so use to hearing Tim Blaney as Number 5 that they said, no that is Number 5. So they kept him as the voice. For Short Circuit 2, they had different puppeteers for Johnny Five and one of the puppeteers Robert Mills who controlled Johnny's head did the voice for Johnny on set for filming. The director for Short Circuit 2 wanted to keep Robert Mills as the voice for Johnny Five. But the producers wanted Tim Blaney to come back and do the voice again. So Tim Blaney was brought back and recorded Johnny's voice after they filmed. Tim Blaney recorded his lines while watching the scenes. Unfortunately Tim Blaney was never on set for the second film, only the first one he was.

See! No else has reacted to this, it's only ever the first. AND it had Holding out for a Hero way before shrek

finally someone who reacted to the 2nd film thank you

i bawled by eyes out as a kid seeing Johnny get beaten up. back in the day stores would have "buyers" employed. it was their job to go out and find merchandise to sell at their stores. Thats Sandy's job in the movie.

This is one of favs of all time...

It's so rare for a sequel to surpass the original, but somehow they managed it.

I considered this my first hero movie

The second half, is where the movie really shines!

Core memory seeing this in a theater as a kid. It really is fantastic and holds up well.

I'll always get a laugh out of Fred and Ben's exchange when the box containing Johnny 5 stands up and moves. Fred: What the hell is this crap? Ben: Who is caring? This crap is MOVING!

The city in the movie is Toronto. It was a beautiful city back in the 80s.

The sound of J5's power warning chimes ringing out to the chorus of I Need a Hero is BURNED into my childhood brain...

Thank you for watching & appreciating this man.

That actor who plays the younger criminal looks like an evil Steve Gutenberg.

man, I been watching youtube since before 2010, and just found you today... how did I not see you before?! I'm glad I did now though. Thanks for sharing all your movie reactions and comments. I'm glad you've been enjoying them

Favorite Johnny 5 moment in short circuit 2: IT's a tie between being the ultimate wingman, for Ben, and the punk scene / revenge arc near the end lol

I was 10 years old when I went to the cinema to this movie. We all loved the first movie, we would rent the video many times... Then going to see this second movie and we watched Johnny 5 get smashed into bits. That's hard for a 10 year old to watch. Even now, as I' watching this and hearing Johnny 5 begging for his life...

It broke my heart when Johnny Five died and then came back at the end

The scene with Johnny feeding him lines on the date is taken from a very old play from the 1890s based on Cyrano De Bergerac.

@ 8:50: Nurnies is a slang used for miniatures and stuff, when you add small details for effect, most often in film practical effects en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeble

Love your channel just found it, watching it all

I loved this movie and the first one since tbey came out when I was a kid. I still love these movies. Short Circuit 2 is good snd they took chanced with it, which I think worked well. They definitely play on your emotions. You really feel for Johnny snd everything he goes through. Just the other day, I actually talked to the guy who voiced Johnny 5 in Short Circuit 1 and Short Circuit 2 about the scene where they beat up Johnny Five who is Tim Blaney. Tim told me that he watched the scenes as he recorded his lines for Johnny and said that scene was heartbreaking which made it easier to pull the emotions for the vocal performance. He said, Johnny is begging for his life, the audience knows he's alive but the bad guys don't which makes it that much more heart wrenching to watch.

Great reaction took me back. Watching this when it came up was awesome especially the scene when I need a hero came on.

I absolutely loved this movie, I would like to see Short Circuit 3

Bro, I was 11 years old when this was released in 1988.

17:28 yeah but Fred told him that craphead is a compliment so he thought he was complimenting her. 21:23 figure it’s been about two years since the first one (believe both movies take place in the year they were released) so he’d be a little over 2 years old.

Upgraded Johnny 5 And chasing Oscar

I recently re-watched the first one since I was a kid. I forgot how cheesy it was 😂. Still a good movie. That intro still gets me pumped.

You would love Small Soldiers and Batteries Not Included, both very fun sci fi movies with heart and cool robots that have similar vibes

Loving it! New sub

I love watching you watch this! I laughed so hard! Like seeing it for the first time again!

The original was a classic; so it was hard to follow it up. But the sequel wasn't terrible.

I dunno, I think removing a shoulder fire laser that can blow up a tank is a step down.

There are songs that get inextricably tied with a song, and for me this is definitely one of those. Holding Out For A Hero I highly recommend watching the music video: Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero

Thanks for reacting to this chunk of my childhood. Short Circuit and this sequel (+ C3PO & R2D2) is why I'm not worried about humans and sentient robots getting along just fine once tech is evolved enough. PS: I always see this movie as the "nice" version of the Terminator which was released the same year.

My reccs for you: Cocoon, *Batteries Not Included, Maid To Order (a silly Ally Sheedy movie).

@21:30 : 2nd movie came out in 88, first one was 86, so 2 years?

If only the movie was made today... Back in the 80s the technology wasn't good enough to make a really good Johnny 5 toy. Making an RC Johnny 5, or just a semi decent battery powered model like they show in the movie would be like printing cash. The money would arrive in trucks every hour of every day. But it was the 80s and the tech wasn't small or good or cheap enough to make a toy Johnny 5. If the movie came out now then you'd be able to get a 12 inch Johnny 5 running on a rasperi Pi controlled by a smart phone or voice control. Even have it be your Alexa and it would be for sale under $100. In 1988 it would not do any of the good things. maybe it goes back and forward controlled by a joystick connected by a wire and it would cost $100 and no one is going to pay that when the Nintendo NES is in the shops for $100.

It's a shame that they never made a third one.

What's your favorite Nba basketball team?

My biggest beef with this movie is, NO Allie Sheedy.😭 At least we get the over-the-top Fisher Stevens.😁 Sorry ya'll, I just didn't "feel it" for this one.

Stand by me would make a good reaction vidio if you haven't alreay seen it 👍
