Jenny 5 is alive! Johnny 5 is one of the most endearing robots in cinema. He's so emotive with his 'lashes', eyes, and body language. It really is a great feat of prop work to make him move so well, especially when interacting with objects and people. You need to see the sequel asap ✌
I think the first one was better but seen some people say they loved the second one more. Ahh yeah, I always thought the pug mighta been cheech marin or somebody before I found that out.
"Is he going to fall in love with Ally Sheedy?" Why not, everyone else in the mid-80s did. If this movie had taken place a year earlier, Number 5 might have run into The Goonies: Both movies took place in Astoria, Oregon. Robots appearing in this movie: 1, King Zarkon from Voltron; 2, Leonardo the Ninja Turtle; 3, Dr. Benton Quest; and 5, Frank The Pug.
The voice of Johnny 5 was done by Johnny 5's operator, Tim Blaney. He read the lines for Johnny 5 to help the other actors in their role, with the intent of hiring a voice actor later to overdub Tim's voice. However, they liked Tim's portrayal and kept it.
As much as people give Fisher Stevens grief about the “stereotype”, he actually found a mentor and voice coach that taught him the right accent for the region of India, a lot of the right mannerisms, and he just did a good job. Did the script really need the engineer to be an Indian? Probably not, but a lot of the jokes put in Ben’s mouth are dependent upon a linguistic and cultural unfamiliarity with America for them to make sense. It also works as a great contrast, because you start to see where Johnny 5 gets a lot of his personality: it’s a combination of Newton and Ben’s interactions they have in the lab, which must’ve remained in Johnny 5’s memory.
When Jen was distraught over Number 5 getting blown up, I was actually remaining quiet in person so as to not spoil the movie for the person in the screen, then realized what I'd done afterward and that she couldn't, in fact, hear me.
I'm 48 years old this year we used to yell at the TV screen during our first time watching the FRIDAY the 13th movies basically : " why don't you idiots just get in the car & DRIVE AWAY ? ! " imagine how many lives could've been saved if they HAD DRIVEN the HELL AWAY from JASON VOORHEES
The Saturday Night Fever scene is actually a little bit of an Easter egg...both SNF and Short Circuit were directed by John Badham, who also directed Blue Thunder, WarGames, and Stakeout, all fantastic 80s movies!
A childhood favorite. Johnny 5 the original Wall-E Jen @ 8:19 " There's just kittens everywhere. It's really hard for me to concentrate". Hilarious /adorable 😂
This movie is one of my childhood favorites. I love the concept of a robot gaining sentiance, develops relative free will, and seeks a new purpose of it's life.
I saw this movie when I was 12, my 22yo cousin took me to the cinema. He died 12 years ago. I liked him a lot but we never did much in my childhood because of ages difference. That is why seeing this movies always bring more than just nostalgia to me.
Crazy how many actors in this. Aunt Edna from National Lampoons, the public defender from My Cousin Vinny, Harris and Mahoney from Police Academy, Jennifer from War Games
The Johnny Five prop used in the film was auctioned off for £287,500 in 2022. It was not a robot, but an animatronic puppet. However, during Covid lockdown Ryan Howard of Nottinghamshire UK built a fully functioning 200 kg robot. He spent £20,000 making it. Apparently it took six years to create.
I have been slightly obsessed with this movie since childhood (See user name and profile picture, which is a working Johnny Five head I built, running off of a microcomputer and servo controller)
Heard of people hooking up ChatGPT to their little bots. Now they got eyes feeding them input and can interact with reality. Some making their own AI and playing around with those. Just dudes at home tinkering. Haven't come across any amateur who has done both well but plenty of weapons companies messing around with it. Drone lift a robo-puppy with guns that can clear a hotel yet can't tell friend from foe. I wonder who will get to Johnny 5 first?
As humans we are hard coded to see faces in things, see pareidolia, however when we add human features to things we can really amplify an emotional connection to them and attribute emotional responses to otherwise non-human parts. Though it also runs the risk of causing a negative reaction when we try to make something look too hunan, but it’s off. The uncanny valley in other words; I think that’s also why some people are put off by clowns. They have human features, but the way they behave and sometimes move their faces are not quite right and it triggers a negative reaction.
@@joeb918 Same as why most on-screen aliens are humanoid or at least have some humanoid characteristics. If you try and portray a truly alien-looking non-humanoid creature as a main character (not just a monster) the audience can't relate. Works in print when it's your imagination though.
Hey Hey there Jen Murray! Part 2 is ok, worth a watch. The disassembly of the car was hilarious, the other robots reprogrammed to act like the 3 stooges absolutely priceless. Love ❤your reaction as always. Have a good night. 😊
Semi Fun Fact -- at the Elementary School Activity Day for fifth and sixth grade everyone got t-shirts with whatever name and number they wanted to, and _everyone_ thought I was being too boring by just putting "Johnny" as my name. But yes, my number was 5 so I was Johnny 5 :P . Oh, and PLEASE watch Part 2.
Whaaaaat? I didn't think I'd ever see any of my favorite reactors get around this one. Totally underrated gem from the era. Wow, really looking forward to watching this one.
My dad used to teach an aerobics class at the YMCA in the 80s, and that was one of the songs on the workout tape. I heard that damn song so many damn times.
I had this movie on VHS as a kid. It was one of the only movies we had so I watched it like 30 times in one summer. 😂 I was obsessed with how Johnny 5 was put together and built a reasonable facsimile of him out of Lego.
This was a heck of a movie when it came out. There were several different builds, some requiring a number of people to control at once. This movie also brought robotics to the mainstream, influencing many kids to pursue the field. It was also the Legos/Construx/Erector set generation so many motorized creations were born. It was one of the few VHS tapes I wore out as a kid.
That was great, you could tell the exact second when her voice changed during the “Oh No” from movie concern to real concern. There was an audible change in her tone.
Sorry that I missed the premiere, Jen, I only got home after it had passed. This is such a lovely and funny film, I'm so glad that you liked it. Yes, please react to "Short Circuit 2" as it's just as much fun as this. 😊
I remember my dad talking my brother and I to see this when it came out in '86....I was 12 and my little brother was 9. Lol....being a kid in the '80s was thee best! Long live Generation X...
I watched the sequel loads of times as a kid but never got the chance to see this one. Thanks for the glimpse, this one was fun. Loved the reaction Jen!!!
Definitely watch the sequel. An 80's movie I would recommend is Cloak & Dagger. It stars Henry Thomas who played Elliot in E.T. and Dabney Coleman. Not a well known movie but one of my favorite from the 80's
This was a blast from the past, this movie came out a year before I was born! Ngl it’s kinda’ wild in retrospect seeing Bobcat Goldthwaite playing an Indian guy.😅😅😅
Newton Crosby's co-worker was played by Fisher Stevens. He was also in the 90's TV series "Early Edition" with Kyle Chandler (from Friday Night Lights), but played a co-worker as well. Early Edition was a show about a man (Chandler) who got tomorrow's paper...today! Nice show, and Fisher Stevens directed many of them!
Very happy you did this movie. John Badham the director was the cameraman when Stephanie was being interviewed by the news. It took 25 men off screen wearing telemetry suits to move #5's arms and other parts. There were 20 robots and numerous spare parts to film this movie. You recognize Steve Guttenberg and G W Bailey who starred together in Police academy. You will love short circuit 2 as well.
Hello Jen, the movie was filmed in Astoria Oregon and you kept on seeing the Astoria bridge in the movie. It's my favorite place and everyone who knows me, knows I love going there. I live in Vancouver washington, near Portland Oregon. My friend Amy, her boyfriend owns the short circuit house and turns into a bed and breakfast. Shoe roller skates a lot when she's visiting her boyfriend.
After seeing this in the theater, I thought Short Circuit would be a bigger hit and the toy stores would be loaded with Johnny Five dolls and merch. But I guess it was not enough of a hit.
Robots were very much the thing back in the early ‘80s. Most of the Johnny 5 stuff was more puppetry than actual robotics but he was inspired by things happening in the field at the time. There’s an AWESOME science fiction movie called “The Ice Pirates” that put out a call for any and all robots to populate the futuristic world of the movie and someone clearly had a lot of fun with it. The pimp robot has to be seen to be believed. 😂
Massive massive childhood favourite of mine! And i still love it 38 years later... Jeez...38 years! How time flies! I always wanted my very own Johnny 5, but never did get one...maybe one day I will 🥰
I watched these movies so much as a kid and I had no idea Fisher Stevens was in brown face. He's so good in these movies. One of the rare instances where people love the performance but say it probably shouldn't be done today. Johnny 5 was my favourite growing up, also I had a big crush on Ally Sheedy 😍😍
This is one of a few movies i first heard the plot from my father, who saw it in the cinema and later told me the story. Saw it myself only years later :)
Yes, you need to watch the Classis John Wayne movies. My favorites include: Fort Apache (1948), The man who shot Liberty Valance (1962), In Harm's Way (1965), True Grit (1969), The Undefeated (1969), Rio Lobo (1970), The Shootist (1976). Except for Rio Lobo, all the others are solid, serious movies. Rio Lobo is a slightly comedic and has some poor actors as supporting characters, but overall enjoyable with a great ending.
16:48 "Is he gonna program _them_ to be alive?" That would be a very interesting idea. He probably would've if he knew exactly how _he_ had ended up alive.
Great reaction from Jen! And she was having so much fun she didn't see the old switcheroo coming. The 1980's sure had robots at different ends of the spectrum, The Terminator (1984) and Short Circuit/#5 (1986).
You definitely need to watch number 2 “Los locos kick your ass. Los locos kick your face. Los locos kick your balls INTO OUTER SPACE!”. I never really re-watched this after seeing it as a kid, but it still blew my mind when i realised the “Indian” guy, Ben, was in fact played by Fisher Stevens, who most certainly is not Indian.

Bring on the sequel. This was one of my favorites as a kid. I think you will like the sequel too.
yeah number two is worth a shot ! Another banger from North Americas best re-actor !
My answer is always yes Jen as you know 🙂 so short circuit 2 most definitely 🤖🔥

"hey laser lips your mama was a snowblower" came quite a common slur when this film came out at least in my area
Ok, well I guess weren't the only ones either LOL!! I still use that sometimes.
I said it to kids at school.. didnt go over well..
Yup, I absolutely still bust that one out from time to time.
i've been using this as an insult for about 40 years now...
Oh we had that saying all the way over in Ireland too lol. But what a line.
Jenny 5 is alive!
Johnny 5 is one of the most endearing robots in cinema. He's so emotive with his 'lashes', eyes, and body language. It really is a great feat of prop work to make him move so well, especially when interacting with objects and people.
You need to see the sequel asap ✌
WALL-E before WALL-E 🤖
Johnny 5 and WALL-E are my robot idols!
@@drewo.127 Mine are R2-D2 and C-3PO
I love wall-e.
@@JedHead77 I also love BB-8!
And GIR from Invader ZIM!
"That scrotum better not win"
IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD
Part 2 is great too. Lots of laughs between Johnny 5 and Ben , it's also much more emotional.
I remember liking the sequel as well. A fun fact, the voice of Johnny 5 also was also Frank the pug in the Men in Black movies.
I think the first one was better but seen some people say they loved the second one more.
Ahh yeah, I always thought the pug mighta been cheech marin or somebody before I found that out.
Second one has another spin which I find really interesting, by ignoring the military angle completely
Now Short Circuit 2!! I think it is just as good. They were my favorite when I was a kid.
I agree, you definitely need to watch Short Circuit 2...
I agree as well.
Yep
Los Locos kick your ass, Los Locos kicks yo face...... Los Locos kick your balls into out of SPAAAAACE!!!!
I loved how she kept calling Schroeder "Scrotum."
Well 'technically' She was NOT wrong, either way...😉
According to G.W. Bailey, the guy who played him, the character’s name was specifically written for that reason.
The character's name was Skroeder. Pronounced "skroder".
Schroeder is from Peanuts.
"Is he going to fall in love with Ally Sheedy?"
Why not, everyone else in the mid-80s did.
If this movie had taken place a year earlier, Number 5 might have run into The Goonies: Both movies took place in Astoria, Oregon.
Robots appearing in this movie: 1, King Zarkon from Voltron; 2, Leonardo the Ninja Turtle; 3, Dr. Benton Quest; and 5, Frank The Pug.
I think you’d like Batteries Not Included and Cocoon.
Definitely, BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.
Cocoon is not available for streaming. This would be quite the coup for the channel .
@@curtismartin2866 It was blacklisted for a reason. Even the versions that are available removed "that scene."

Fisher Stevens did such a good job playing an Indian guy that actual East Indians thought he was one.
As much as people give Fisher Stevens grief about the “stereotype”, he actually found a mentor and voice coach that taught him the right accent for the region of India, a lot of the right mannerisms, and he just did a good job.

You can say it.
@@chrisbullard5901
Why didn't they just hire an actual East Indian person to play the role?
They did exist in America in the 80's, you know.
@@Cbricklyne I'm sure you can answer that one yourself.

Still good to be safe, though. Just in case.

Jen gotta watch Blue Thunder!!!!!
Yes blue thunder and steakout
Ally Sheedy was also in War Games.
My plan is to scream...and then run!😮 This movie is soooo quotable! 80s, you would have been right at home Jen!😊
A childhood favorite.
Johnny 5 the original Wall-E
Jen @ 8:19 " There's just kittens everywhere. It's really hard for me to concentrate". Hilarious /adorable 😂
Jen, you calling that guy "Scrotum" will never get old. I don't know if you realized that guy plus Steve Guttenberg were both in Police Academy
Captain Harris

Also in MASH as Sgt Rizzo
@@trevorbryant4360 Lt. Harris in the first movie... He was a Captain when he came back in the 4th movie...

This movie is one of my childhood favorites. I love the concept of a robot gaining sentiance, develops relative free will, and seeks a new purpose of it's life.
The rock behind Johnny 5 when he got the joke was the same one where Kirk fought the Gorn😅😅😅
Good old Vasquez Rocks 🤣 as seen in SOOOOO many movies and TV shows.
I saw this movie when I was 12, my 22yo cousin took me to the cinema.
He died 12 years ago. I liked him a lot but we never did much in my childhood because of ages difference.

I hope you do part 2 eventually! Lotta good memories watching that one growing up. It was my little brother's favorite, so it was on all the time.
I loved this movie growing up. One of the many movies to inspire me. This movie as well as it's sequel inspired me to go to school for robotics
Hey Hey there Jen Murray! Part 2 is ok, worth a watch. The disassembly of the car was hilarious, the other robots reprogrammed to act like the 3 stooges absolutely priceless. Love ❤your reaction as always. Have a good night. 😊
Part 2 gave us the Bonnie Tyler template for all the films that followed with, 'I Need A Hero'.

My favorite childhood movie. Jen should love this one.
I was coming here to say the same thing. You beat me to it.
And me, loved this movie and watched it several times😉
That song! "Who's Johnny" was stuck rent free in my head for months.
And that reminds me of the Weird Al song "Here's Johnny" about Ed McMahon done to that song.
My dad used to teach an aerobics class at the YMCA in the 80s, and that was one of the songs on the workout tape. I heard that damn song so many damn times.
I had this movie on VHS as a kid. It was one of the only movies we had so I watched it like 30 times in one summer. 😂 I was obsessed with how Johnny 5 was put together and built a reasonable facsimile of him out of Lego.

LoL, that moment @Jen_Murray sees the skunk and the seal. ROFL
Between Star Trek, Short Circuit, Small Wonder, Darryl, etc., the 1980s seemed like it really wanted to convince me that robots are people too.

🥰You might just be RIGHT!👌
16:04. lmfao. 'Not' something I ever thought I'd hear Jen say.
I've used the "You ratted on your friends" bit an unreasonable number of times. It's fun.
I remember my dad talking my brother and I to see this when it came out in '86....I was 12 and my little brother was 9. Lol....being a kid in the '80s was thee best! Long live Generation X...
I remember in school hearing Hey Laser Lips aloud in the common area and the area went silent waiting for the snowblower burn......Number 5 Alive 😂
A childhood classic of mine, even the sequel. Remember how amazed I was when Johnny 5 gets a gold coating at the end of that.
Tim Blaney, the voice and main puppeteer for Number 5, also was the main puppeteer for Max in Flight of the Navigator which came out the same year.
I recorded the sequel off the TV during an hbo free trial, and i watched that recording a lot. Definitely recommend it.
My favorite character in this one was Fisher Stevens as "Ben Jabituya" for all those hilarious lines in his best Indian accent. ❤🤍💙
he was great but #5 was #1 for me
You're so adorable. "It's scrotum" lmao. I was to young to make that connection when I first saw this. Keep on rocking Jen
" No disassemble Johnny 5 "
I think that was my tag line in the 90s on my email packets.
I watched the sequel loads of times as a kid but never got the chance to see this one. Thanks for the glimpse, this one was fun. Loved the reaction Jen!!!
Definitely watch the sequel. An 80's movie I would recommend is Cloak & Dagger. It stars Henry Thomas who played Elliot in E.T. and Dabney Coleman. Not a well known movie but one of my favorite from the 80's

Newton Crosby's co-worker was played by Fisher Stevens. He was also in the 90's TV series "Early Edition" with Kyle Chandler (from Friday Night Lights), but played a co-worker as well.
Early Edition was a show about a man (Chandler) who got tomorrow's paper...today!
Nice show, and Fisher Stevens directed many of them!
He was also the antagonist in the movie, Hackers with a young Angelina Jolie

This was a family favorite when I was a kid. There was a time where I could quote this movie beginning to end I'd seen it so many times.
Directly under your reaction in my TH-cam feed was an ad for something that says, "Just disassemble all the parts" 🤣🤣🤣
My mom loved this movie. Your reaction to it is bringing back fond memories of her. Thank you.
The movie of my childhood. God, I love this film.
The quote "Life is not a malfunction" describes this film perfectly.
Part 2 is just as good. *Holding Out For A Hero playing* "Me Johnny, you busted." Amazing films. 👍
P.S. "Sneakers" with Robert Redford. A must see.
God I’m SO glad people are discovering (or re-discovering) this movie, one of my absolute favorites from the 80s and Ally Sheedy was a babeeeee
"One Crazy Summer" is another must-watch 80s comedy!

Oh, this is the original title? I only knew the German one: "Nummer 5 lebt!" ("Number 5 is alive/lives!").
No disassemble.
This movie was my whole childhood. There's a worn out VHS somewhere out there I watched the heck out of.
_'Short Circuit 2'_ is AMAZING!
Jen Murray was born to be a reactor to movies.
I watched the heck out of this movie as a kid. The other movie I paired with this one was "Batteries Not Included"
G.W Bailey who played Scroader also played Captain Harris in Police Academy
I was 6 when I saw this in the theater. Loved it then, love it now. Shared it with my kids. They loved it too.
I loved this movie as a kid. I haven't watched it in years. It was fun revisting it again. Great reaction as always, Jen. 👍
One of my favorite movies as a child, and I don't think I've seen anyone else react to it. Awesome!
"He's so cute!"
Just like me.
"He makes a mess wherever he goes"
Yeah, that's also me.
Massive massive childhood favourite of mine!
And i still love it 38 years later...
Jeez...38 years! How time flies!

This is one of a few movies i first heard the plot from my father, who saw it in the cinema and later told me the story. Saw it myself only years later :)
Yes, you need to watch the Classis John Wayne movies. My favorites include: Fort Apache (1948), The man who shot Liberty Valance (1962), In Harm's Way (1965), True Grit (1969), The Undefeated (1969), Rio Lobo (1970), The Shootist (1976). Except for Rio Lobo, all the others are solid, serious movies. Rio Lobo is a slightly comedic and has some poor actors as supporting characters, but overall enjoyable with a great ending.
16:48 "Is he gonna program _them_ to be alive?"
That would be a very interesting idea. He probably would've if he knew exactly how _he_ had ended up alive.
Great reaction from Jen! And she was having so much fun she didn't see the old switcheroo coming. The 1980's sure had robots at different ends of the spectrum, The Terminator (1984) and Short Circuit/#5 (1986).
My favorite movie since I was 3-4. I'm 41 now and still own the Blu-ray. I've seen it so many times I can watch it in my head now. 😂
You definitely need to watch number 2 “Los locos kick your ass. Los locos kick your face. Los locos kick your balls INTO OUTER SPACE!”. I never really re-watched this after seeing it as a kid, but it still blew my mind when i realised the “Indian” guy, Ben, was in fact played by Fisher Stevens, who most certainly is not Indian.
Short Circuit 2 is very much worth watching... it's terribly underrated and all but forgotten, but it's a great movie.
this was part of my childhood. brings back many happy memories with my bro and sis
Great representation of 80s movies, I really wish there were more sequels
Johnny 5 and the other robots were really impressive puppets.
