William Gibson is one of the founders of cyberpunk genre. He also wrote the original script for Alien 3 which was adapted as a graphic novel. While he is listed as screenwriter for this movie, apparently, his script was changed and Gibson himself was not happy with how it turned out. The original short story was also very different. Funny enough, it still had drug-addicted cyborg dolphin.

[@videogamenostalgia]

I always think when people in movies go "uhhhh actually my own input specifically was incredible it was just changed for no reason and don't bother asking for evidence of the good version because there is none" it's a bit of a standard cop-out - would probably take it with a pinch of salt.

[@diehard7517]

@@videogamenostalgia studios cutting films down for no good reason is a common practice that keeps ruining movies to this day, so it's not exactly hard to believe. And when do studios keep original versions of the movie after cutting them heavily? Even Snyder Cut retained most of the original Justice League. I have also read Gibson's short fiction and know for a fact that he can be pretty weird and experimental with his writing, so i can totally see the studio deciding to make the script more mainstream in order to appeal to the mass market. Also, Gibson's original script for Alien 3 was declined for not being creative enough, so it's possible that he learned from this mistake and tried to experiment a bit, which was not something studio was interested in.

TBH, remember that Longo's film was literally stolen from him, he didn't get to direct a good chunk of it, the film was literally going to be a black and white low budget kind of 'anti-movie', but the studios desperately needed a summer blockbuster after deciding the one slotted was complete garbage, and since Keannu was popular after Speed, threw money at what was literally supposed to look more like Tetsuo the Iron-Man, (one of its 'inspirations' by Longo's words) into what we got. I love the finished film, but man, you can tell it's so far from what he wanted.

Just FYI my sister had Epilepsy and seizures can last for literal hours even days. For her she would have mostly absences which were a few seconds, but could have seizures that lasted for several minutes called grand mal's, they would last well over 3 minutes. It was common for them to last for 10-30 minutes, when we would have to decide whether she needed an ambulance or not. Eventually we got some very strong medication that was for emergencies only. Overall the reality is seizures don'[t have a prescribed "Three minutes and you die" type thing going on. Some people have a small seizure lasting only seconds and sadly pass away and others can have a seizure lasting hours and walk away without issue, this includes an initial seizure scenario. sorry to go all "um acktually" on this but yeah I just heard this stuff so often and it can be dangerous, when someone is having a seizure you have to basically let them just have the seizure, you can't do much unless you have training and even then if it's literally the first time that having a seizure it's prety much 9 times out of ten you have to just wait till it ends. Many of the drugs used for anti-seizure are not great for your body so until you've had a proper diagnosis it's not like you can just pump them with magic siezure go bye bye juice, coz if you get the dosage wrong it can be really harmful.

@@kimifw58 Also, how common a name is has nothing to do with why I used the meme. It's the very specific combination of three different factors appearing for a second time. Who cares how common a name is. Keanu is only one. And Cyberpunk isn't used a lot in movies or AAA games. So again, you aren't very smart.

9:28 this is shot in Lower Bay Station in Toronto. I recognize the design, also I went down and saw it.

I was recently reminded that George Lucas called his movie Strange Magic “Star Wars for girls” and had to give it a rewatch and oh man. It’d be the perfect Adam and pals. Every moment is so poorly done and unintentionally funny that it’s gold.

[@henatatorplays]

I don't know what it is but every part of this movie seems like it was meant purely on an aesthetic level. The story and shit is all really kind of bad, but it rules. I love how Keanu acts and I love the dolphin and I love Henry Rollins being better than Keanu. It's fire. Great film. I wish the internet looked like Johnny Mnemonic hacking.

[@NatexWarrior]

The editing on these videos is always incredible

[@awfulfalafel2613]

I always thought that Johnny Mnemonic was a childrens film like Osmosis Jones but instead of teaching kids about biology it was about literary devices

[@superscatman4236]

Keanu's sitting down acting at 20:23 is so bad he looks like the lead singer of Puddle of Mudd singing that Nirvana cover.

That car park sound effect is what they use at target for their walkie-talkies

[@StrangeSignal]

That scrolling intro sounds like something Sam Hyde wrote for his card game. Totally schizophrenic in sound, at least the way everyone was reading it simultaneously.

[@lukestover2207]

But yet totally a hundred percent true, just like Sam Hyde.

Scoot made a Shadowrun reference. I will now make every NPC a gene-modded tiger person.

Love the adum & pals

[@ohdannyboy4727]

more like Johnny Mememonic. what a great film. beat takeshi, sellout t, henry rollings, dolphin lundergrin, udon kier, all star cast. I love it

[@BottleWaterson]

i remember watching this immedietly after Keanu got his arm replaced by the Devil Breaker

[@svenrawandreloaded]

Cant believe you just brushed over “the info wars”

[@BNumbersStation]

I love how the guys are shitting on the "room service" line, and rightfully so, but that's also like the best acting in the movie.

21:48 "B.J. RACK" Which just so happens to be scoots real name

Quite the coincidence

13:56 Did he grab a butter knife off of that surgical table?

[@TimPortantno]

Should really consider doing these for insane movie tie-in games that shouldn't exist, there are dozens on the GBA alone

[@whade62000]

Isn't the writer William Gibson, the literal creator of the cyberpunk genre? (Starting with his '84 novel Neuromancer) Now, sci-fi writers are not necessarily good "people" writers (just look at Asimov) and writers don't automatically make good screenwriters (cuz it's a whole different genre), but I feel like that info is worth more looking into.

[@AlsoKnownAsTheOracle]

The animated sequence at the end was actually the most heinous thing I've ever seen

[@johnlion7963]

In this feature film, Keanu Reeves plays a man with a deadly microchip in his head, in Cyberpunk 2077, he IS the dangerous microchip

Keanu: "English is my passion"

The movie's terrible, but I see Beat Takeshi for three seconds and my entire brain is like, 'wow, he's so subtle🥰'

at 18:05 He was most likely using hollow point bullets. They are made to stop inside what they hit.

Oh man I hope these boys watch Dracula because I need them to see “I know hwhere the bästahd sleeps. I put him theuh myself.”
