10 Things You Didn't Know About Short Circuit 2

Best use of "I Need A Hero" in any film.

[@jreal5]

So true

[@Rairosu]

Not just that but watching Johnny 5 in a damaged state and leaking fluids and such. It nearly brought me to tears. It was like watching someone dying but had so much adrenaline that they ignore any wounds they had until they did what they had to do despite there dire situation. It was gut punching painful.

Short Circuit 2 was always my favorite of the two movies. As a young person at the time, I didn't care who was "in" the movie. The second movie just hit harder for me.

[@theskig]

I think the first was too much classic, it was the typical standard movie of that kind: beautiful but predictable. The second one was badass, we didn't care about the missing characters, we liked the action and the trendy street-style setting that looked so cool.

[@Hauseu]

@@theskig yes. I totally agree. Thank you

[@beauwalker9820]

I preferred #2 as well. I kinda miss Steve Gutenberg, but it was kinda nice to see a different character get some spotlight. I just realized the first movie had 2 Police Academy characters in it.

[@1pcfred]

The beauty of mechanical things is they can be repaired. We made them once so we can make them again.

[@AnalyticalMenace]

Agreed. This scene alone makes me like the sequel less than its predecessor. Rather traumatizing watching it as a kid, too. I mean, did they really have to make the robot "bleed"?

[@TheConnonedrum]

​@AnalyticalMenace that was the point. To show he was alive. Hence the lead up to the end. As you saw in the movie people saw him as property and not something that deserved to be treated with respect. The whole movie you see Johnny learning the ins and out of having to be seen as different and dealing with it.

Out of the two movies, this is the one I re-watched the most as a kid. Even today, I think I like it better.

[@Rairosu]

Its a hidden gem, I feel people was far to harsh with the movie. I think it deserved better. I also don't think it deserved all the hate it gotten. It may had been a detachment from the first movie, But I see the first game as a Origin Story more than anything. And Johnny's real journey started in the second movie.

Thanks for releasing this so quick after the first one Mark. The post beating up of Jonny 5 has to be one of the most emotionally powerful scenes I’ve watched ever. Not only were the visuals enough to be upsetting, but the slow piano music that accompanied it, absolutely finished me off!

[@joycetrembath499]

[@ADR69]

the practical effects of these movies is so good it still holds up today. no one would go through that effort nowadays. J5 wouldve been 90% CGI and be soulless. as is, he is a classic protagonist and the stories arent perfect but they are tight and fast paced with plenty of humor and character progression that make you care the entire way through and you do FEEL that J5 is ALIVE. the scene were hes beaten nearly to death still gets me sad even today. also, his voice was perfect. somehow a great mix of curiosity, energy, love, and even aggression as needed. its such a great experience seeing these movies and how much effort went into making them so good.

Brilliant video Minty - Short Circuit 2 is a favourite in my family. Kenneth Johnson is such a class act and Michael McKean is an astonishingly good actor, the scene where he helps rebuild the dying Johnny 5 is one of THE most powerfully emotional scenes ~ it blows my mind how they created such an intense moment, between a Robot and a hustler sitting on the floor of a radio shack..bloody marvellous cinema! I heard Fisher Stevens describing his process and how he lived with an Indian familiy and had mentoring and guidance throughout filming so that he was respectful and authentic in his role.

SC 2 is a damn fine film with its own charm and adventure you dont need Ally or Steve when you have Johnny 5

[@andyjohnmackenzie]

Along with Star Wars a New Hope & Return to Oz, Short Circuit 2 is a member of the "Robot gets polished up for a ceremony at the end" movie genre.

[@marcfuchs6938]

Yeah it's something of a little cliche, but thinking about if those things were real - wouldn't that be a thing that actually happens? Well the heavily shiney gold is a little too much in my eyes, but cleaning the robot up and make him look brand new makes sense in my eyes. In C3PO's case, he was already golden and was probably just polished properly.

[@originalmroldschool]

I can remember having liked SC2 better than the original at the time. I felt like the payoff at the climax was exceptional, and enjoyed the Bonnie Tyler song's usage. I was shocked years later (when the internet became a thing) to learn that Ben was played by a white guy. That is a testament to Fisher Stevens that he could play someone of a different race so convincingly. Props to him, he's a great actor that deserves more recognition.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@originalmroldschool Actually Fisher Stevens albeit loved portraying Ben he has had some regrets about the role in more recent years. If it were today he wouldn't do the role. And feels that someone with an Indian background or race would be better suited for the part. He actually spent a month in India before filming started on Short Curcuit 2 so he could learn more about Indian Culture. 🤖🦾🎥🎬

[@jbear83]

Grew up with both Short Circuit movies and I remember watching the sequel more often than the original. I guess I just always enjoyed the end of the movie after he gets destroyed and rebuilds himself to get revenge. The use of “I Need A Hero” just seemed to fit perfectly.

Yes, I've always liked Short Circuit 2... Perhaps not on par with the first one, but It always seemed under-appreciated to me and quite a good movie... Also, as a Kid from British Columbia I knew nothing about the city in the background and when I moved to Toronto when I was 21 I immediately recognized the buildings from the film.... especially since my first Job in Toronto was on the 12th floor of Royal Bank Plaza North - the gold-plated building which stands in for the bank in the film and features prominently in it (and can be seen at 5:25 in this video).

No kidding, this is probably still my favorite movie. Has been for 30+ years. And I don't care so much for the original! The creativity of the company Ben was making and the do it yourself nature, combined with the caper nature of the escape... Man, it just hits everything my inner 9 year old loves.
