- The japanese release of JM had a waaaaaay cooler soundtrack, and the upload of this scene that is already up has the shitty music instead of the great one.
Please, now that you've seen this, don't watch the rest of the movie, it's shit.
The song here is U2 Alex Descends into Hell for a Bottle of Milk? It is mixed better in this English version but perhaps other songs in the Japanese Soundtrack are better? The Japanese version:

Video unavailable from link.
I didn't realize U2 had a song in this until I read that and I had to find it and it said it was inspired by A Clockwork Orange so I also didn't realize U2 were a fan of that movie.
After seeing Zuckerberg's cringey Metaverse, this has actually aged very well. It is prophetic.
I mean you can talk shit all you want but he's the only one sinking money into vr right now. especially buying up hard ware devs that wouldnt be shit without the money

Yeah, I'd rather have no water than no internet.
Keanu sure does play a lot of characters named John.
Now that you mention it... so true!
When you grow up with a weird name that you have to spell for everyone, you crave something easy and normal as a child. It isn't until you become an adult you learn to accept who you are.
All he needs to do is play Johnny Quest and the prophecy will be complete

Description: “Don’t watch the rest of the movie, it’s shit”
Dude! This is one of my favorite Keanu Reeves flicks. It’s badass. Campy, often corny, but it’s fun! And I love the old school CG.
I just think they butchered Molly's (they call her Jane in the movie) character and visual design compared to the short story and novels. Have you seen what she's actually supposed to look like?
@@ArvelDreth Rights to Neuromancer and thus the character of Molly Millions are/were owned by a different company which is why she had to be changed into Jane's character.
@@ArvelDreth Movies that butcher the source material are not necessarily all bad, but I understand the frustration. I didn't even now it was based on novels! That's cool!
I just grew up with this movie.
I just watched this for the first time. I'm surprised it's so poorly reviewed. the action is pretty good and the pandemic plotline is topical for a movie set in 2021
@@cyrusneese3264 Right?! Kinda spooky!
who would have guessed that 25 years later Johnny would BECOME the bad chip bleeding into your head
Went from
“Need this data out of my head”
To
“I am the data in your head, kid”
He said iPhone, and we are in full mode vr glasses now. Wow
I like how he sweeps all the "physical" shit of the desk. Great metaphor, "get this material garbage outta here! I need cyberspace."
"Get this crap outta here- oh shit, wait, where'd my thumbdrive go? Fuck!"

@@walrusArmageddon His thumbdrive is in his head, that's why he has that problem.

It's a great movie honestly. Just cheesy enough to enjoy without feeling like it's trying to be too serious
Best Keanu Reeves movie ever...
In the future, everything goes to shit... but the Internet looks kickass.
The interesting thing is that this - William Gibson's vision of "cyberspace" - predates most of what we think of as the internet. (Johnny Mnemonic was written in 1981. Usenet existed then, But SMTP and IRC didn't. The world wide web wasn't even a glint in Berners-Lee's eye.)
That would be crazy if life were actually like that....oh wait
But only for govt, banks, corporations and the rich.
@@AlephNeil Gibson did not anticipate our Internet.
His vision was of an exclusive network that the general public would not generally have any access to.
A playground for mega corps and nation states.
That is why he has to break into a lab to get online, instead of buying a modem at the PC World.
He admits this himself.
But.. how...did you know.
THOMSON iPhone? This IS science fiction...
Eye-phones. not iPhone.
I'm guessing Apple got brought by another company in the future.

That was my same reaction when I first heard that hahaha I was like did he just say iPhone?

The actual future, 2017 - we have all that stuff. But it's easier to just click through webpages with a keyboard and mouse while drinking coffee.
And you don't need an Occulus Rift just for Google.

Never realized this detail until now: at 2:44, there are the words Ono Sendai. That's part of the name of the Ono Sendai Cyberspace-7 cyberdeck that Case uses in Neuromancer.
There's also a spinning logo with the words "TESSIER ASHPOOL" on the upper right when Johnny first logs in. Another Neuromancer reference.
The story was written by William Gibson and can be found in the *Burning Chrome* anthology.
@@maxbrandt6 Yup. It's set in the same continuity as the Sprawl Trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive) which includes the short stories in Burning Chrome.
such a great book
Cyberpunk 2077 looking good.

Lol
This is a short story by William Gibson the father of the Cyberpunk genre.

Well, he is a hacker it would appear.
I wonder if Keanu thinks about this movie when he goes to sleep
V. Osaki he thinks about his paycheck.

Why do you think he's always so sad? He was using the internet of 2050 in 1990.
I really liked the cyberpunk vibe from this movie, but that was about it. Reminds me of pre-Matrix films and shows like Blade Runner, Bubblegum Crisis, and Hackers. I just like the genre.
+creekandseminole YES! I read an article, that speculated as to whether Hayden Christensen (young Anakin Skywalker) was going to be the lead role in the movie Neuromancer! I just wish that the writing would lay on the cyberpunk technology really thick, to dazzle the sci-fi audience, instead of watering it down, for the mainstream.
FreezeGripCataclysm Soooooo many people have tried to get Neuromancer made into a film. For me, the best director that was interested and I think would make an awesome film would be Chris Cunningham who was at one time attached to it. Go check out his music videos and tell me what you think!
+creekandseminole I checked out a piece of runner johnny and the Bjork video. If he was already attached to the idea, then I would love to see him direct it!
FreezeGripCataclysm Yeah!!! My favorite video by him is either "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin or "Sheena is a Parasite" by the Horrors.
+FreezeGripCataclysm The reason Neuromancer will never be made (at least in a good way) is that the plot itself isn't that interesting or even coherent. The enjoyment of Neuromancer comes more from Gibson's colorful narration and from the world he creates.
I gotta admit the VR set up is pretty cool and mirrors what we're heading for right now really well..I guess it's kinda true that geeks predict the future at times..we see the sci-fi stuff growin' up and wanna make it real.
That's very true. Early Star Trek communicators looked like flip phones, Star Trek TNG Padds looked like tablets, and plenty of scifi predicted flat screen monitors and virtual keyboards. I wouldn't be surprised if these fictional sources had a hand in influencing the designers of the real thing.
@@LnPPersonified Don't forget automatic doors that opened when you stepped in front of them. Or how we're still trying to get prosthetic hands as good as Luke's from Star Wars..that's been a big one for awhile now that gets better as tech advances. It's still awhile off before it's completely indistinguishable from a real hand but it's closer with each new technological discovery.
The VR setup the Keanu uses in this flick is finally become a reality now with the coming of both Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR. But who knows if we all will be able to surf the actual net like in this movie.
We will. Who knew in the year 1990 we would not be watching television anymore and in our very pockets would be a TV, a computer thousands of times more powerful than the most expensive computer at the time, a social media network, a GPS, an all-encompassing encyclopedia and email.

An underrated film, and an interesting one. I originally watched this in the January of 2021 again, as the film, and the original story takes place at that time. Real amazing, how they thought about how 2021 would be, and I guess they got something right, and I would say it would be the "Pandemic/Sickness". But in all honesty, a very interesting film, with a great cast especially with Ice T, and a young Keanu. Overall, great storyline, characters, and soundtrack added to it. It's worth watching, but you'd find how "interesting" this movie really is, literally. Kind of hard to describe this film, but as said it deserves its credit especially for a 1995 film, and worth a watch.
Well... no.
The underlying story already wasn't that good, and the movie was at best mediocre. There are a lot better stories by Gibson that could be turned into movies, the key problem is that Gibson doesn't understand computers. He knows story writing, and his stories are quite good to read, but they don't translate well into what really works in the world. He knows how to create worlds and how to write engaging and interesting characters, but he simply knows jack about the whole "computer stuff".
Henry Rollins and Dolph Lungren as a bible thumping hitman as well if I recall correctly
prophetic. the syndrom will hurt so many billion people. it's all in the air, parasiting brains.
Funny thing is that this movie and the first Star Wars trilogy both saw technology is in a similar manner. In Star wars, the existence of AI meant that the only reliable way to move data from 1 place to another was with physical means. In this movie, its the rise of cybercriminals who make it so you have to use biological means to move data. George Lucas never gets the credit he deserves for being way ahead of everyone when it came to envisioning cybersecurity and the excessive use of air gaps in a future dominated by AI.
Dizzy was hanging out with Neo before she went to join Starship Troopers?
Disappointed that nobody has made this kind of graphic user interface for the internet
It's right around the corner trust me, they just need vr interface tech to be less cumbersome and ridiculous looking and then youll be seeing stuff like this arise from general investment.
Its been tried but the problem is that the Internet really isn't fast enough for that kind of stuff. The Internet was developed to be robust rather than fast.
@@DChatc It'll take a while though since we all know someone named Mark is going to patent troll everyone who tries to develop it.
3:23 LOL!!! That facepalm is just hilarious.
I know this is an opinion, and I'm about 5 years or so too late to say anything, but there is sooo much more than just this scene to Johnny Mnemonic. The movie itself may be a discombobulated mess with how it was handled and who was behind the camera, but if you look at it from a perspective of the short story by William Gibson, this was actually very easily a great adaptation of his work. Hell, he wrote it after all. The main reason, as far as I believe, why everyone seems to find this film on the lower end of the scale is because of the interference from Hollywood with Robert Longo's vision, where he was told to add characters and situations he thought were superficial. I'm glad they told him no on a black and white featurette for $2m, although they should have just put him on B roll footage, and brought in a director that had more under their belt than just a few music videos. All in all, with what there was, this movie was an excellent first attempt, and a good film... at least to me, but what do I know? I enjoy the Super Mario Bros film for it being a zany story rather than an adaptation of a video game franchise. I mean come on, Dennis Hopper with cornrows, dude. The actors did a great job, for the most part ("Jesus time" mr. Lundgren? Really?), along with the camerawork and story were pretty solid. The music score was by far some of the best though, which made the movie a much more enjoyable experience. I know its just an opinion, so I'm just giving mine. Take it or leave it.
I'm just annoyed at how Molly was butchered in this movie.
No.
Tl;dr
@@thetriathigamer1544 Get a hobby mate
@@mutestingray Yep.
The funniest part is that the computer sequences are rather faithful to the Gibson's writing (however he concieved them over a decade before this movie's release)
Did you see the International cut? It released in Japan 1 month before it did in the US. It’s about 10 mins longer and uses the music on the soundtrack album to set and drive the tone of the film with score additions Mychael Danna, not Brad Fiedel. It’s the cut of the movie that fans both wanted and somehow suspected was out there somewhere. It needs to be the only cut of the film everyone pays any attention to.
Happy one day late Johnny Mnemonic day!

God damnnnn
Who's watching in 2021 with their minds blown out?
"C'mon. Allllllllll the way back to Newark." Best Keanu line ever.
Every time I put on some kind of goggles that resemble the VR device used here, I make Keanu's two-handed "claws out" gesture and say (paraphrased) aloud something like "I could wipe out your entire board from here, man!"
I swear I've heard knowing chuckles from people around me who get the reference...
+Sean Wilkinson How the fuck many times have you put on some kind of goggles that resemble the VR device used here man unless you are Grace Jones?

Lol sounds like a made up scenario that u wish happened. Unless u frequently put on strange goggles in public with an audience watching and listening to what u say, which I kinda doubt, and if you did no one heard what u said and laughed thinking wow remember that line from that shitty movie that came out 25 years ago! Wow that guys hilarious and cool!
Cyberpunk 2077
This has better graphics
I'm watching this video through a Google Cardboard, lmao.
What a time to be alive.
This movie is fucking awesome, I remember being a baby and seeing this on a blockbuster movie shelf, the box had Keanus face on it and the top of the box was clear, so you could see the tape inside the VHS. Awesome 👍
Wow Keanu's acting really got a lot better in the matrix.
as kitschy as this movie is, it's a must see for any sci-fi fan! There are numerous precursors to the Matrix in this movie, my favorite being when Keanu fires his gun until it's empty, then stops to look at it. That scene is done pretty much exactly as it was done in the Matrix. Is it an overall flop? Yes, but hey, even flops become classics...
Best Scene Ever!!! LOL Someone should make a Johnny Mnemonic for Oculus!!
My dude had an iPhone and an Oculus way before it was cool. #woah
While this electronic music's vibe is pretty cool, it cannot beat Orbital soundtrack to this scene.

Man... to think Keanu went from this, to Matrix, to John Wick.
He really moved up in the world after this movie.
Speed was that movie too.
Bill N Ted brooo
Keanu was actually in some high-profile projects early in his career. He had a small role in Parenthood, which was heavily promoted when it came out, My Own Private Idaho made a splash on the indie film scene, Dracula was a big budget movie that received a lot of attention, Speed also came out in 1995. Keanu has been successful his entire film career. I remember he did have a couple years where he kind of fell of in '96-'98, then I picked up a magazine that showed a really early preview of his next film that would be coming out the next year....it was a picture of Keanu on a rooftop with some lady with black hair wearing PVC, fighting some guys in suits. I was honestly like, "Oh no Keanu, not another flop!" Glad I was wrong about that one.
Really glad that Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a whole lot more people into the genre, but for some reason, all the Cyberpunk 2077 related comments I've been seeing recently have been bugging me....don't really know how to describe it. I don't want this game to define the genre, if you know what I mean.
lel, Any sensical human being into the lore of cyberpunk 2077 has to be conscious enough to understand that this game could not exist with out the history and culture that survived its realization since the earliest visions of a dystopian science fiction future.
God damn with the music and all it's like straight out of Ghost in the Shell
You are wrong. I love this movie, and after all these years, and I've watched a lot of sci fi films for decades. It's kitschy but that's what makes it fun and endearing. I love Keanu in this and seeing Henry Rollins and Ice T. This is a cult classic. I get an itch to watch it every now and again.

Cypherpunk 1997 where you hack into the future to steal ripple and ethereum from your FUTURE self with biometrics
This movie ain't shit. It's great, i love it
This movie suffered mostly from Hollywood's lack of faith in the movie going public. And with their constant tendency to fuck shit up in general. I mean look at the Robocop remake mmheh.
Didn't help that Gibson was NOT happy in how people modified the screenplay he wrote for this film.
I love this movie! Way ahead of it's time! The short story alone is prophetic and older than most people who are commenting here. You'll never see Ice T like this in anything else. Appreciate the ride and what went into the road to make it happen 📽️
This is why morpheus came to find him.
I wish that the internet was really like this. 😕
The security method in this was very prophetic: Our phones now got the option for the dot drawing, and I am sure once we do get ready and inconwpicuous acces to vr we will be using 3 dimensional "locks" like this to access our encrypted data.
