Johnny 5 and his creator Ryan Howard interviewed by the BBC

[@NorfolkStarlord]

Well done for such a brilliant replica of a cult classic man, you deserve all the love you get.

[@NorfolkStarlord]

Thanks for pinning the comment 🙂

[@Razortine]

You have no idea what seeing you build him meant to me 😭 Short Circuit was such a big influence on me growing up as a little budding robot loving artist. Thanks so much for bringing J5 back to life 🤍

[@Johnny5Replica]

So glad you like him! We adore it that people have the same love for Johnny as we do!

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

[@Genolexis]

Why am I crying... Because this is my childhood ❤

[@VanNowe]

Johnny 5 IS ALIVE!! welcome back little buddy !

[@meganfenton4189]

It took him six years, upwards of £20000, and it looks like he learned to code to build Johnny 5! What an amazing thing! Yes, a labor of love! I wonder how many rewatches of Short Circuit he had to have to figure out components, and get the look right!

[@JaceD4V1S88]

Johnny 5 is a suuuuuuuper underrated 80s icon

[@ewanhoward9778]

Well done dad

[@scottymclaren3582]

Thank you so much for rebuilding Johnny 5! Not only did you rebuild him, but he’s in the best home he could possibly be in! You have no idea what this robot means to me in my life.He got me through the toughest times as a kid, and to see him back in 2024…. I’m tearing up. Thank you.

[@kevlarchicken]

im so happy johnny five hasnt been forgotten this is awesome

[@ktotheswiss1617]

Thank you for keeping Johnny5 Alive.

[@user-ul2tt4dn9k]

Johnny 5 is alive! This is absolutely positively fantastic 👏

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thank you!

[@Anamnesis]

If the folks who built R2D2 replicas for recent Star Wars productions can go from being hobbyists to being involved in real film production, this man should be involved with a new Short Circuit movie. ❤

[@ChaosNe0]

"We had people crying in front of him" I completely understand.

[@agsproductions4303]

Isn’t it nice when there’s nice news for a change

[@mistermatix8241]

So lovely to see Johnny 5 still alive! He's one of those loveable characters that you instantly want to hug. Those lovely clear eyes, just so innocent. Absolutely beautiful. This isn't a model or toy, this is art, this IS Johnny 5. He's just adorable. I can't even imagine the work and hours put into him, but he's perfect. Has he met Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, GW Bailey at Comic Cons? He absolutely needs to. I love Johnny 5, he's almost the robot version of ET

[@Darkman155]

Omg how did he make such a perfect replica!

[@TagTab637]

Simply amazing. Wow. Such talent, detail and love put into him. Congratulations sir! You’ve brought many people back to their childhood.

[@Hammers-Mikey]

God bless you sir! I am emotional as this takes me back to my 80s childhood. Always remember the scene whe Johnny got left for dead by thugs with crow bars. Absolutely loved SC1 & 2 and Flight Of The Navigator 😢😢❤

[@Number5IsAlive.]

Absolutely amazing.

[@ATomRileyA]

This is Epic Thanks so much for building him. Johnny 5 is Alive!!!

[@Biofan813]

That replica is Insane!

[@amishcpatel]

Talented guy, this is awesome! Love Johnny 5

[@topcat43truffles15]

Great job! Glad Johnny 5 has a family to live with that appreciates him! 👍🏻❤️😎

[@marcop1587]

Just watched Short Circuit 1&2 with my 8yo step daughter and now I find this??? 😱 You absolutely rock man 🦾

[@jedijones]

AI knows what you're watching, LOL!

[@JoshuaWG21]

amazing

[@MillywiggZ]

When he was dancing that was a little too accurate, made me go wide-eyed. Really great reproduction.

[@clarkie5]

amazing.

[@Stane_FR]

When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a real life-size replica. Seeing how little you can do to achieve a result like this is just amazing! This is wonderfull!!!

[@AVengefulSoul]

I adore him so much and you've put so much love and time into him. Everyone you meet who knows J5 cherish him. I hope one day I can meet him and the family!

[@barneycarparts]

Its amazing that the movie prop creators of these robots started from scratch and created these working models in months instead of years. They were very well thought out as well. The crouch, stand and stair climbing, all terrain capability is something we still don't see in commercial robots. Very impressive. There is one YT video shows a machine shop during Covid making parts for J5 they never completed the project due to other business. But, IIRR they were going to make their CAD drawings for hip swivel and shoulder mounts available.

[@dspencer8827]

Tears of joy .my childhood right there 🥲

[@youfrancis]

That's a joy to see! I've wished a long time that someone would finally resurrect Johnny. Well done, indeed.

[@TheMoxmeister]

That scene where Johnny 5 Tarzans to get Oscar, while bleeding battery fluid, sparks all over, with the "i need a hero" background music, always causes me to tear up. 🥲

[@hpjunke]

Looks perfect hell of a job wow

[@goshtin]

what an amazing build mate. I just rewatched the films recently, and they're absolutely as good as my childhood remembers. And now years later, a fan with the skill and ability built a faultless working replica. Fantastic effort and it's great to see you getting appreciated for it. subbed

[@3UZFE]

What a legend this guy is for building this. Amazing.

[@ghostengineer]

Rock on!!! This is so awesome. Loved the movies as a kid.

[@audioman3017]

Absolutely amazing job!!

[@pachabee]

Very cool!

[@Christian-yx7se]

Hoffe ihr habt in noch lange Jonny 👋

[@User-sb6er]

Johnny 5 is so closed to my heart...and im so happy that many share the same love for this beloved character

[@DrReginaldFinleySr]

I want one so badly! 😞 Imagine this GPT Powered and more autonomous. Wow!

[@ChaoticOrcPaladin]

I just ordered my replica. Can't wait!

[@ivantheterrible2594]

Johnny 5 is right up there with WALL-E and Baymax as lovable robots that seem to be more human than a lot of people nowadays.

[@cogboy302]

"Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?"

[@Zeaiclies]

I need a Johnny 5 in my Life.

[@richardbates-rh9fs]

So freaking cool! Absolutely brilliant🤖

[@Dieter3510]

Absolutely Fantastic! I love Johnny 5!🥰

[@marcoporreca9838]

just awesome. You are a genius, sir. I am overwhelmed by them and their work. Kind regards from Switzerland

[@theHardChargerVids]

I can’t believe you did this. Awesome job. That’s better than movie set quality. I bet there are prop guys from the original movie who are stunned by this.

[@THEMOVER-rr7cu]

Amazing work of art, johnny five is alive, thank you so much i love it⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@alexreviews5310]

i wanna say thank you so much for bringing one of my childhood heros to life thank you soooo much you are a hero and a great man

[@johnmunro4952]

That is INCREDIBLE!!

[@marie22213]

So cool. I just seen the movie for the first time today and I'm already a fan. The second one anyways, I haven't seen the first yet.

[@Carolina-mw4po]

Incredible! ❤

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thanks!

[@GabrielBadwolf]

I love him so much. I like most 80s kids have fond memories of Johnny 5. Back in the 80s I don’t think it was even possible to build a version of him as functional as that. A lot of the shots were of pupated versions. With AI what it is now give it another 40 years and it will probably be possible to make an actual Johnny 5. As is you could audio sample from the movies and use AI to replicate the voice to anything you want him to say.

[@bradrogers3881]

This is absolutely amazing. Fantastic work & dedication to pull this together. So impressive!

[@m2944]

Love how you've kept J5 true to the original. Absolutely awesome, well done mate 👏🤖👌

[@Pretender6]

Are you sure? He got a Gold finish at the end of the 2nd movie 🙂but yeah i like this version

[@jedijones]

@@Pretender6 And the guy says, you're right, takes a baseball bat to him and starts building the gold-plated one from scratch.

[@shauljonah6955]

Very cool 😎 great job 🎉🎉🎉🎉making him.😊 👏 hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 💕

[@tonyshaw7420]

This is glorious ❤🇨🇦

[@justjohnny05]

Johnny 5 has been my nickname since the movie came out.... really

[@SilvioFYT]

To this day, myself and my brother call eachother Jonny because of the film ❤️

[@goldenkid5488]

its so well made, great job!

[@glenhelmer7297]

That's awsome. He is alive.

[@laurajam66]

Loved this video thanks for sharing it with us love you Johnny 5 😊

[@drewo.127]

This is just magical!!! Little J5 is still alive!💖💖💖💖

[@AyaxRo]

This is amazing. thank you for sharing online as well. This is so nostalgic.

[@Johnny5Replica]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Urko2005]

Great work.

[@alex182618]

Wow great work. Love the movie

[@syrtiar9759]

Wow, great work!!!! 🤩

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thank you! 😁

[@steven5577]

This has got to be one of the best replicas I have ever seen. I'm so glad you have made this iconic movie legend come to life. Well done, you have got a sub from me, and I can't wait to see what you do with j5 hey laser lips 😂

[@jedijones]

Now he just has to build #s 1 through 4 and program them to do Three Stooges routines.

[@24ecko]

This IS the droid I was looking for!

[@markraimo1283]

This is so cool! I would love to see him in person some day. The closest thing I have is a Johnny Five model which I'm not complaining at all. But I've never seen a full size one in person before.

[@tylerwilson6393]

Been lucky enough to meet the guy, my favourite film

[@harrisontuck3405]

Heyy, good to see you get the recognition you deserve! Been a wonder watching this project

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thanks very much

[@TheKnightsShield]

Heeeeere's Johnny!!

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

I think Johnny 5 should have his own TV comedy Series or a brand new version of Short Circuit movie since the he's very population from 1986.

[@stefanl.telaka3223]

I know it's just a robot that's operated by remote control, but it's somehow very lovable. Simply beautiful ❤️

[@nozyspy4967]

Oh man I loved Johnny 5 as a kid!

[@Christian-yx7se]

Danke an euch für das Video und an dich der in steuert du bist mein Held aber ein Fan bin ich nicht wirklich ich fand in schön als Kind absolut Klasse Jonny 5 Nummer 5 ist mein Liebster Film auch wenn es große brobleme gab so wie ich gesehen habe. Ein großes Dankeschön an alle vom Film bis hin zu dir. Wehr schön wenn ich dich mal live sehen könnte Jonny 👋💯

[@eliezerortiz8117]

❤I loved those Johnny 5 movies when I was a kid.

[@galactic_leader]

Джонни 5! Как бы мне хотелось увидеть его и сфотографироваться!

[@timuhler8121]

Awesome 😮😊

[@fabriziolongo83]

It Is awesome

[@lightsout5107]

make it happen. need input.....INPUT! Great job man, that's awesome.

[@Scorpwanna]

Awesome!

[@MrHousecup]

Magnificent!

[@nolimitphil6286]

Number Five is alive! Great work!

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thanks!

[@qweqqweq2090]

well color me impressed!

[@osamuelshelton3641]

Wowwww, love this movie

[@JacknVictor]

This is probably more fully featured than the original screen used models, as they would have various versions that could do different things, depending what the scene being filmed called for, but this one seems to be fully functional. Most of the ones used n the movies were elaborate puppets. Well done.

[@enginnergaming3659]

Saw this guy in Cleethorpes comic con

[@stacyhoward1419]

Incredible

[@BattlestarGentoo]

This is an amazing work. Well done. How did you know all the details, because I don't think you had the original scheme, right? Have you ever considered connecting it to some AI language model or something, so he could completely interact with people?

[@jedijones]

Holy hell, hire this guy to build him for a new movie already!

[@Dax79]

Fantastic Build :)

[@Johnny5Replica]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davethomas1241]

Very cool

[@Johnny5Replica]

thanks!

[@lyrand6408]

Looks _very_ impressive. I recall that movie (the first one that is, I think there's two?), loved it as a kid. Now that this is done please make a functioning replica of ED-209, thank you :)

[@freddymack2646]

VLN Johnny 5 for life homes

[@AlexMerlin1985]

Here's Johnny! 😁

[@sleazyd12]

Love the movie 😊
