- A film-fanatic has spent six years building a fully-functioning replica of movie robot Johnny 5 from Short Circuit - which he even takes down the pub.
Ryan Howard, 34, has forked out over £20,000 recreating the android from the cult 1986 film in his garage at his home in Annesley, Notts.
He reckons his 200kg (31 stone) creation is "99 per cent true" to the original robot and is one of only two fully-working Johnny 5's in the world.

Fantastic tribute to the legend that is Johnny 5
I need to see Johnny 5 in person. He was one of my childhood heroes.
A mate of mine built a Dalek from scratch, which has an electric wheelchair inside so you can sit in it and drive it around. Complete with voice changer so that you sound like a Dalek.
We took it to his local pub one night at chucking out time and harassed drunks leaving, asking for a beer or cigarettes.
All fun & games until the Police turned up, but even they saw the funny side.
😂😂😂👏👏👍
The best part of the story is that one of the guys leaving the pub came running over all excited and said, "I've got a full size TARDIS in my living room."
I kid you not.
Was it full-size on the outside or the inside? 😉
God bless you sir! This video has brought a tear to my eye! Takes me back to SC2 when Johnny 5 was left for dead by thugs with crowbars. God i miss my 80"s childhood. This and Flight Of The Navigator 😢❤
A few years back we toured a 🌽 🎥 studio in San Francisco in the old armory building. The basketball courts had once been used by nearby Lucasfilm to film the stop motion shots for Empire Strikes back so the building is zoned for film production.
Anyway, sitting in the back of one of the many tiny sets, next two two 55 gallon drums of lubricant (yes, really) was one of the original on-screen Number 5 robots. He’d been, uh, fitted with some new parts. But there he was!
MY 80s CHILDHOOD HAS RETURNED!!!🤩✨
It's actually better than the movie props 😂
The robot
The myth
The robotic legend
J5🎉
Right now, with the ease of vacuforming, 3D printing, smaller and more powerful servos, remote controls, ordering CAD made parts online and having them shipped over in days or less, all the info you can find, it is insane what you can do.
While i do not think there is a major market for it, i wish there was someone making a kit to build one. Sure it would be expensive, it would be worth it.
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 s one 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.
Now here is a Robot i would love to see AI applied to.
OMG, this is soo amazing. In my childhood, I loved Nr.5 so much!!! You did a pefect job!!!!
Top notch job! I remember hearing how fully functioning Johnny 5 for the movies took nearly a dozen people to operate all the movements and your doing it with one remote. Technologically amazing!
Met this fella! Great experience and you can tell how enthusiastic and passionate he is 👍🏻
He’s absolutely perfect ❤
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.
Worth it!
Absolutely incredible❤
Amazing work. Just like the original film robots, he moves so naturally and his face is so expressive that it completely tricks some part of your brain into thinking he really could be a thinking, feeling creature. To capture all that in a home build is incredible.
Short circuit was a amazing movie
It's surreal, I can't not see him as a real person
That is sooo frickin cool great job man. Favorite movies ever
Holy Christ, my childhood! ♥
Way cool!! From the human JOHNNY 5 born 8 years prior to Short Circuit! (John J. VanOostendorp V).
That's so freaking cool
i have Goosebumps..
With open Ai today you can really make it interactive like Johnny 5 from Short circuit
Johnny 5 with only £22K instead of £9M? That's more economic than i thought it'll cost.
So cool!!!
Now that Ai has come so far. Someone could make a full working Johny 5 from Short Circuit. Then drive its personality and voice using Ai and ChatGPT. As far as I am aware no one has done it before.
He should have Tim Blaney record some original dialogue for him! I was afraid he was going to get hit by a car at the end there. 😬
My childhood. 😊
Legendary
Hello my friend. You should consider to develop an AI with based and trained on his personality ti make a full working replica ❤ you said it's 3D printed. Are you thinking about sharing your stl files?
Kind regards
This is so cool
At first I saw £20 and missed the “k” which makes more sense 😂
This is awesome…I want one ❤️
When are you guys coming to the US???
You did an outstanding job, did you make your own blue prints for machining johnny fives parts?
Doing God's work! Thank you!

Oh man, this is so awesome! (Even though my preference would be "Number 5" not "Johnny Five." One word. Laser.)
Awesome
Very nice. Now where do I get the schematics? :D
This is amazing ❤ I love Johnny 5 wish some one would make me one 😍 I can dream lol 😂 again amazing job I've subscribed
It's so cool. I want one. Immediately
