SHORT CIRCUIT (1986) | MOVIE REACTION

[@chernobog1351]

The sheer joy of watching you reconnect with this favored piece of your childhood was priceless! Don't ever change, J! You're the GOAT!

[@williambryan3346]

@28:10 “ Hey laser lips! Your mama was a snowblower! (Blows a raspberry)”. 🤣

[@LordVolkov]

Number 5 is alive! Johnny 5 is one of the most wholesome robots ever. He just wants to learn everything and be peaceful. "Input!"

[@ennuieffect]

Man, I’ve been searching for reactions to this, one of my childhood favorites, for years. You’re one of the first ones to react to it. Can’t wait! This is PEAK Steve Gutenberg, when he was just killing it in the box office with his Police Academy movies, Three Men and a Baby, and Cocoon.

[@MD-1982]

3 Men & a Baby is a CLASSIC! Guttenberg, Danson & Selleck were brilliant as they raised that baby 😁

[@williambryan3346]

There have been reactions to this movie and its sequel available to watch for a year now.

[@williambryan3346]

*Steve Guttenberg 😁

[@dabreal82]

You haven't been searching very hard then...😂

[@AdamJ09303]

Reactors did this over a year ago. There is a magnifying glass in the top right of your screen for a reason.

[@garydpsu]

The "Indian " dude is 100% white actor Fisher Stevens. i found that hilarious when i got old enough to realize.

[@SurvivorBri]

That was in poor taste, though. Just find an Indian actor. Even for back then, it would not have been too hard.

[@andrescrux]

I didn't know til last yr when I seen this sjw vid trying expose ppl to cancel like dorks😭😭

[@_Majoras]

to be fair he plays a very convincing indian

[@legionaireb]

We found it hilarious, the current generation of white viewers found it offensive. (I bet dollars to rupees that no actual Indians care.)

[@stegwise]

@@SurvivorBri bro his ancestors are from Pittsburgh. now who looks dumb? you. in the script the character was written white and there was no mention made of his race but the director made the choice. stop trying so hard to find a problem with everything and fix yourself.

[@laurakali6522]

Gotta do Batteries Not Included and Cocoon.

[@bensmovies8945]

I hope he does Cocoon as-well! Certainly one of Ron Howard’s best films.

[@butkusfan23]

I recently watched Cocoon on a medium dose of mushrooms. The concepts presented absolutely blew my mind. 😂

[@LpMcQuack]

Absolutely

[@mikemoss6045]

I was gonna mention batteries not included ❤

[@tanyahendricks8465]

I’ve been waiting for SOMEONE to do Cocoon.

[@legionaireb]

I'm happy to have been here while you reconnected with a faded piece of your childhood. I hope you do Short Circuit 2 soon, too. I don't think I've ever seen anyone so convinced by Johnny 5's decoy. I almost envy the emotional catharsis you felt when he popped out of that hatch.

[@scottanderson8223]

I JUST bought a NO DISASSEMBLE T-shirt for my Vegas trip next week. This is about to make me smile for 40 minutes and 2 seconds tonight

[@draskang]

We used to watch this a lot as kids. "No disassemble!" "Number 5 is alive!" "Her pants are blazing for you!" we used to say this all the time lol! When I think of growing up in the 80's this is one of those DISTINCTLY 80's feeling movies. it's just part of the feel of the decade for me.

[@KrissyFace]

“Im a pepper, he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper, we’re a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too? “ I think one day I’ll be in an old aged home with nothing but jingles and theme songs from the 70’s and 80’s in my head 😂

[@msfeistybabe]

Make sure you tell them to have Demolition Man playing so you can sing along to some jingles ;)

[@LA_HA]

Hahaha. Yeah, but they were bangers. The idea was to get people singing and whistling your product's jingles, so they Had to be good. So it'll be like Demolition Man when we get old. Remember that radio station that only played commercial jingles? hahaha

[@chrisbell9075]

*Newton:* "Holy sh**!" *Johnny 5 [looking down at ground, confused]:* "No sh**... Where see sh**??" 😂😂😂 That one cracks me tf up EVERY TIME I see it.. 💩😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BigGator5]

"Number 5 is ALIVE." Fun Fact: The sound of Johnny 5's (Tim Blaney) laser firing is the same effect as the Ghostbusters' Proton Packs powering up. Location Location Fact: Filmed in the town of Astoria, OR, where also The Goonies (1985) and Kindergarten Cop (1990) were filmed. Stephanie's (Ally Sheedy) house still exists and is located in Astoria. In November of 2019 it sold for $340,000. Casting Notes Fact: In this film and Short Circuit 2 (1988), Johnny 5's voice was provided by puppeteer Tim Blaney. This casting decision was made due to the director's belief that real-time interaction with the robot prop would make the interaction seem more natural on-screen than if they edited his voice in during post-production. Movie Magic Fact: Many of the little tricks done by Johnny 5 (Tim Blaney) on-screen (like flipping through book pages in a blink of the eye and tossing a washer into the air in a mimic of a scene from an old gangster movie he saw) were done using relatively simple, yet ingenious slight-of-hand prop effects. For instance, the pages were flipped using an air hose, while the washer was flipped using a piece of string at both ends sideways. Not only did this save money for the producers for the actual robot and the screenplay, but they proved to be remarkably effective in getting just the right look needed for the scenes.

[@stevenmoules4955]

Short circuit 2 is a good film as well!

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

"Hey, laser lips. Ya momma was a snowblower."

[@legionaireb]

He's your brother. That means YOUR momma was a snowblower, too.

[@msfeistybabe]

"I don't care. I don't know her!"

[@ShadowRyu]

"hey laser lips, your momma was a snowblower" was THE number 1 insult aftet this movie came out 😂😂😂

[@tehdesp]

Short Circuit: "My, what a precious little heart you have there..." Short Circuit 2: "...Be a real shame if someone STOMPED on it."

[@aaronburdon221]

Yea, sounds about right.

[@LordVolkov]

JL almost crying over the fake-out gives good odds for him breaking down in Short Circuit 2 😭

[@markomalley2776]

Johnny 5 aliiiiiiive!!!!! You're the man for doing this one! You the real one!!!!

[@SubZeroJill]

hey WHOA....🤖🤖🤖🤖 I just CANNOT believe you're reacting to this movie! @_@ I was just talking about my nostalgia for this (..and 80s sci-fi gems like BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED ^_^) with my mom literally last week!

[@damedamsel3300]

Hell yeah!!!! NUMBER 5 IS ALIVE!!!!!! one of my childhood favorites. To this day is say "STE-PHO-KNEE" and "NO DISASSEMBLE" for absolutely no reason. My kids think I'm crazy but I dont care. 😂💚✌ #nodisassemble

[@LordVolkov]

"Input... Need input!!!"

[@stevesmith9617]

I've said Johnny 5 needs input directly to managers and teachers. Shamelessly .

[@dadjeans391]

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I watched this movie growing up! Great reaction dude!

[@timh3576]

If you were to go a couple of miles south of Stephanie's house, you'd be at the Goonies house.

[@princeofcats6883]

You are by FAR one of my most favorite youtubers out there. I can really appareciate someone that can open themselves up, and show your emotions. I specifically look for emotional content in my reactors, because i believe it shows a Truth, a passion, and an appreciation for the topic, as well as people like me who watch your videos. This is more than a reaction: its a heartfelt appreciation

[@mrpaige9202]

Definitely a childhood favorite! My brother and I would watch this all the time. Have not seen this in a very long time, so I know what you are saying about the nostalgia hitting hard. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@zaneba7056]

Had to stop by and watch Jay's reaction to this classic and one of my favorite movies of my childhood. Good memories.

[@Daemonkryn]

I can't be sad when watching J this happy!

[@SFOlson]

I love it when I’m able to find channels like yours, I know that I’m going to get a reaction to a movie through the filter of someone who is my age. I find it refreshing, and a little comforting, when someone is reacting to a movie from the 80’s, and they were actually alive, and remember when the movie came out, even if they haven’t seen it. Long story short, as someone who is an early 80’s kid like J, March of 82, I love it when you do reactions to movies, like this one and it’s sequel, both of which are nostalgia movies for me, that I remember seeing in the theaters when they came out. I especially liked your reaction to Raising Arizona & The Princess Bride, they are my absolute top two favorite movies of all time. Some other movies from the 80’s that are some other favorites of mine to varying degrees, that I think are worth checking out if you haven’t seen them yet; Harry and the Hendersons, Moonstruck, Roxanne, A Fish Called Wanda, Masters of the Universe, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, & Little Shop of Horrors.

[@MD-1982]

One of my favourite sci-fi movies; up there with RoboCop, The Terminator, Flight of the Navigator & E.T.

[@starrymelissa]

Thank you so much for watching this ! It's such a charming , funny and touching film from most of our childhoods . How could anyone not fall in love with this robot ! Loved your reactions ! 🤖✨" I needed this " 😭🤗

[@blacktoothlongwalker1037]

13:30 imagine pulling a book out in order to show someone pictures and not something normal like your cellular telecommunication device. We was savage back in the day.

[@matty101yttam]

Short circuit, ghost busters both remind me of playing golden axe and double dragon on the arcade machines at the corner store as well as the smell of bubblegum. That's my memory of childhood and i loved every second of it.

[@TreeHairedGingerAle]

Same, though ours had ninja turtles, too! 😅 I...didn't enjoy every moment of childhood, of course, as our household was too messed up for that. But damn if Johnny 5 sure as hell seemed to know how to live -- and live it better than a lot of the adults around me! 😃He had me watching this movie over and over! I love that these movies can be like that. If the doors of your life are closed, and if the people around you see eagerly grabbing ahold of and enjoying life as "annoying", stories like these can open windows ...to show that not _everyone_ thinks the same way.

[@bensmovies8945]

Can’t wait! 👌The guy that voices robot Johnny 5 in this movie, also voiced Frank the Pug in three Men In Black movies. 🍿😊 His name is Tim Blaney 😄

[@lynnc5252]

Awwww you feeling sad and nostalgic made me sad and nostalgic 😔❤️

[@skyshroudsylvan6022]

When I saw this as a kid, I 100% cried thinking that he got blown up at the end. Number 5 is easy to get invested in emotionally, because his character has all the range of emotions. Hugs buddy, the emotions are as real as he seemed.

[@toukie]

This is the movie that would play on TV on Saturday afternoon back when we only had like 10 channels. I saw it so many times when I was a kid!!!!

[@EricAntonsen-uz2tq]

You needed this so much and I didn’t know I needed to relive this with you! Hang in there brother!

[@gdawg4ever119]

The 80s have to be the best decade for movies 🍿

[@philipstoddard1502]

Fun watch along. I always appreciate your reactions, but you make these classic silly movies worth the rewatch. Keep on keepin' on, young man!

[@dwmadroxxide5090]

Such childhood fondness. Cant wait for part 2.

[@DustinJones-v8e]

Dude it's been forever since I've seen this movie . Luved it. Thanks for playing it. It brings a lot of memories.😃

[@deathwitheponine]

That childhood nostalgia is a hell of a thing. I loved Johnny when I was a kid - happy to know I’m not alone!

[@PokeTheBunny]

Saw a sneak preview of this in the theater as a kid and absolutely loved it. They gave out t-shirts "#5 is ALIVE!" and I wore the hell out of it in elementary school. Love watching your reactions! Keep on smiling (and I am pretty sure most of us had crushes on Ally Sheedy back in the day).

[@LadyEmu]

I still to this day shout "No disassemble!" at opportune moments! "Number Five alive." is mumbled in the mornings. Such good memories from this movie!

[@GamingWithGeo]

I watched this all the time as a kid. But I haven't seen it in at least 30 years now. Just like you this brought back so many memories of I time I wish I could go back to.

[@HeartlessMisery]

Its crazy to think Short Circuit, The Goonies, and Kindergarden Cop were all filmed within walking distance of wach other. Astoria, Oregon is amazing to visit!

[@DetectiveAlley]

Nobody reacts to this movie, one of my old-time favorites. Thank you.

[@anthonycairo9202]

One of my favorite 80s movies of all time. I used to watch this movie almost everyday as a kid on VHS.

[@DavidicusGear]

This was fun, J! Btw, I saw Johnny 5 in person once, about 33 years ago. He was in a temporary exhibit at a museum.

[@nikkiloveslife4841]

I am so glad to be born in 1977, bro, so I can experience both Short Circuit and the second one. Nostalgia like crazy, bro.

[@dizzynikki5912]

One of My Absolute Favorites.. Thanks for the Reaction..

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Johnny 5 is indeed so classic

[@Zenignome]

I've pretty much got the same sentimental attachment to this movie as J, used to watch it and the sequel with my Dad on his weekends with me as a kid. Man I wish I could go back and do that again once more.

[@sonyawasmer2344]

I’m a Pepper, you’re a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper. Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?

[@RobWool]

Now if they made that song it would last to long due to all the fake pronouns they have to add to it .

[@beetleb.1418]

Right in the feels. I needed this, too. "Who is Johnnnnnyyyyyy...!"

[@michaeljacyna1973]

I know everything you're feeling after watching this. It's not about the movie. It's about what the movie represents in the timeline in your life. Before you had worries and all the possibilities of your life ahead of you. I really miss those days

[@cooliostarstache5474]

Johnny Five walked so Wall-E could run

[@Sacredloveoracle]

Lights up my day all the time 😂

[@CopiousTurtle]

I absolutely feel what you mean about this movie and nostalgia. There’s the flood of joy, but always followed by a bittersweet, sad feeling of days gone by. This movie just hit me different as a kid and will always bring back those feelings. Is it better than, say, Police Academy? The Karate Kid? Back to the Future? It doesn’t have to be. It feels somewhere on its own in my mind and I love it. Thanks for watching this one, J! God bless you, man. I hope all is well. I felt when you said you needed this.

[@michaelcross3585]

Bro one of my oldest memories watching this at the drive in

[@tdsportscards]

I remember my mom getting me a Johnny 5 toy and a matchbox truck....great nostalgia

[@danzthename]

Oh shit! I totally forgot about that DeBarge song from this movie. lol!!

[@frozengamer3030]

This is awesome such a classic movie

[@williambryan3346]

Tim Blaney provided the voice of Johnny 5 in this movie and its sequel. He went on to voice Frank the Pug in MIB 1&2.

[@Beardo2517]

Idk if I've seen J this happy at the start of a movie. Can't wait

[@manuelvillacana9284]

After watching part 2,, I would highly recommend batteries not included, and I think it's by even Steven Spielberg.

[@blankenheimrobert]

He watched Batteries Not Included on Patreon!

[@manuelvillacana9284]

@blankenheimrobert Is that the $5 one or is that the $10 one???

[@blankenheimrobert]

@@manuelvillacana9284 You get all his reactions for either amount. If you pay $10 you get shout outs and other perks. But FYI, it’s the whole movie so you have to play it separately on your TV (so you need to own or rent the movies) and then you play his video along with it. (They blur it on his video because they can’t post the complete unedited film)

[@richieb7692]

This is my favourite Ally Sheedy film of all time.

[@LordVolkov]

She's really good in the underrated psychic thriller The Fear, but Short Circuit is easily one of her best roles.

[@dylank.4498]

Los Locos kick your ass, Los Locos Kick your face, Los Locos kick your balls into outer space! What I find crazy is that the Indian guy, Ben, isn’t from India in real life and isn’t Indian. His name is Fisher Stevens.

[@Scribeoflife]

Does anyone else remember a movie called "Batteries not included"? It would be cool to see a reaction to that.

[@ChefPatrickChase]

filmed in Astoria ,Oregon same town was used for The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop

[@sixtiviris]

I used to watch this ALL THE TIME on WPIX! This one part 2 and batteries not included!😭😭😭 my entire childhood

[@ducky449]

Love your energy when watching movies like this! Such an infectious joy that made my difficult day better

[@KelkelQ82]

Aww the nostalgia I remember staying with my grandma and watching this and batteries not included. She been gone 20yrs but this just brought back the warm and fuzzies thank you 😊 great reaction as always.

[@Martman5150]

Much love. I watched this in High school. I've seen it a hundred times. There's no shame in getting teared up. Thank you.

[@SirGriefALot]

This is an 80's classic. I used to constantly stumble across this movie on TV back in the day.

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

If you were a little kid in the 80s, you loved Number 5. I've always been scared to re-watch this though. So many things from childhood just aren't as good as an adult, but after seeing this I think maybe I gotta give it a whirl. SIDE BAR: The 80s girl I was completely in love with was Lea Thompson from 'Howard the Duck'. 'Howard the Duck' maybe the most 80s movie ever. It is completely insane. I loved it.

[@willowfalls7528]

Always loved Short Circuit, watched both those movies a lot when I was was a kid. Also.... are you OK, J? You seemed a little emotional there at the end. Wasn't expecting that in a Short Circuit video.

[@kimberlydavis7514]

Thank you!! As soon as I saw that you were going to watch this movie, I knew that I had to watch. This brought me so much joy! I love your laughter and the honesty of your reactions.

[@ryry283]

Gen X here, Its a Mandela effect. He was Johnny 5 in this back in the 80s. Lots of movies have suttle changes now from when we first saw these in the 80s.

[@OldMan_PJ]

It wasn't until the Internet came about before I ever realized the character of Ben was played by a white guy. Doesn't bother me because his performance is great, just like Apu on the Simpsons.

[@sebastianm.6669]

watched the german version a few days back. the german title is "Nummer 5 lebt" which translates to: "Number 5 lives"

[@late_night_club]

Ay man this was an absolute blast to watch with ya. I havent seen this movie in many years either but I remember commenting on your Johnny 5 shirt in another reaction. That was a lot of fun

[@mattwhite2328]

Nostalgia is amazing. I’ve got memory issues so most of my past is a big generalized fog. But sometimes things will come back super clear and it makes me cry. I totally feel you, dude. ❤

[@erikawilliams9558]

Omg i LOVED this movie as a kid

[@AManIsNoOne67]

I said "STFU" when you forgot the ending. That made it great.

[@DraggorLecanth]

Add the movie "Batteries Not Included" to the list. It has the same energy and it's one of my childhood favourites 😊❤

[@Parabola001]

I used to loooove this movie as a kid. Movies back then were so fun and wholesome

[@karenlackner192]

Number 5 is ALIVE !!! This is a weird but fun movie. Saw in theaters waaay back when 5 was brought to life like Frankenstein 😮 ⚡️ Damn. I never thought of it this way. Did you notice all Stephanie does is yell 😂

[@nedrini1055]

I’ve always loved this movie so much. Now you have to do number two. Wait that didn’t sound right

[@sirgalahad3574]

Nice reaction. I've quoted this movie often. "Her pants are blazing for you Newton Crosby."

[@MariaC497]

Dude I cried watching this movie. I'm so hyped to see your reaction. This is so 80s Kino!!!

[@BlueGuy44]

Awesome 80s Classic. I was Sophomore in High School when I first seen it. After that I got completely hooked into this Movie. I loved it.

[@hokutothetanuki]

Love you JL! Thank you for this reaction and all of your reactions! Keep doing what you do, love you fam!!

[@heavyrain4485]

Awesome! Can't wait.

[@williambryan3346]

To this day, every time I see the name “Nova”, I say “Danger! Nova!” 😁

[@jonathanvarnado6694]

Funny story, I ran into Fisher Stevens at my kid's school a few years ago, where they were filming a movie in the gym. This was also at a moment when people were talking about his "brown face" performance. So I walk up to him and ask "Hey Fisher, are ya'll filming Short Circuit 3?!?" And he just stares at me for about 5 seconds and then he says "We might be." It was the most awkward encounter ever, lol.

[@lordofthereels6790]

Great 80's comedy gems worth watching: Weekend At Bernies, One Of The Guys, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Top Secret, Real Genius, After Hours, King of Comedy, Buckaroo Banzai & more.

[@mandapanda2847]

I love watching your movie reactions, you have a brilliant laugh, always quick with your 'thanks for playing' and your 'shut the fk ups' always crack me up. Thanks for sharing another great vid with us xx

[@torbnymublous4403]

I'm a pepper you're a pepper wouldn't you like to be a pepper too😂

[@thomassantillan2194]

"I just found out you had a gaming channel" Man, you could shout it from the rooftops while simultaneously showing it on every screen in the world. You'll still hear that. I work in IT and display on screensavers & desktop wallpaper that you can submit a ticket by phone or by web. We get people claiming that they weren't aware of one of those options. Usually, they know about the phone, because they're always complaining about not understanding accents. People just don't read and/or comprehend what they just read

[@thomassantillan2194]

"I hate this MF, he gets on my nerves." Harris is always a jerk. He just doesn't have Proctor to treat like shit in this movie, so he had to go back to being a jerk to Mahoney.

[@snowfaultomine2355]

Fun Fact! My boyfriend in 2000 was studying electronics and he was building a replica of Johnny 5!

[@Chefcorky]

I remember the song, Who's Johnny by El Debarge.
