Short Circuit 2 (1988) - Johnny Five Arrives (1/10) | Movieclips

almost 40 years later and that puppet is still futuristic and impressive as all hell

i would say our robotics is getting to the point where it's almost to this point, maybe not personality so much, but we have improved on quite a bit.

[@markraimo1283]

Agreed. Moves very fluid and life like. The illusion that he's alive is there in these Short Circuit films.

[@emmaruth4573]

Totally agree! I have not seen a more convincing and impressive puppet since.

Short Circuit 1 and 2 are nothing short of creative masterpieces. Really under-appreciated. It’s impressive to get J5 looking this good in the 80s. Motions seem very genuine, not too janky and it’s just awesome.

[@IronLegionnaire1]

There was apparently a few people required to control him (which makes sense, he's a complex robot) Bit it's just amazing that there was basically no automation at all, that it was just a group of people making him seek so lifelike Even though we can see he's a machine

[@solar-monk]

I'm British born with Indian roots. I NEVER had a problem with Fisher Stevens. He performed the role with respect and was so convincing I never realised he was played by a white actor until much later in life! Short Circuit is the best!

[@josepeixoto3384]

i always doubted if he was really from India or not, i never knew his name,and i came here now from Columbo filmed in 1989,and that i watched just now on TV.

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

He said "I" Not us. or we. or any other inclusive terms. But good job trying to make something out of nothing.. ya putz

Alongside Johnny, his character was my favourite as a child. I had no idea then he wasn't really of Indian descent - but I grew up respecting people just like the character he portrayed.

[@funnyduck4568]

Yeah he was my favorite human character in the movies he is very funny

Just watched w my kids. Surprisingly, part 1 and part 2, still hold up and are arguably better than when I was a kid watching these. Excellent movies!

As he was fond of referencing TV and movies, appropriately that was another reference. "Well, isn't that special!" was the catchphrase of SNL's church lady. And when he says it, he uses the same intonation she did.

Agreed. It's a great performance. also the performance of the robot, all the puppeters and Tim Blaney providing the voice and personality of Johnny Five really brings him to life and makes you believe he's really alive in the movie and forget he's being controlled by puppeters. This was excellently done.
