"Your mama was a snowblower" will always be one of my favourite 80s movie moments. "I hope you took the grass out of the glove compartment" is also amazing.
I've said "Your momma was a snowblower." A million times. Nobody knows the reference.
@@jkhoover For me it was always "Try the veal; it's the best in the city" that gets me funny looks and crickets, but I've done the weed/glove compartment quite a bit. If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never make that joke during a traffic stop".
I've always been partial to the 'Nice Software' one myself.
Also that typical Battlestar Galactica Cylons talk for evil robots .
I love saying that line when fighting drones, robots, and cybernetic enemies in videogames. Other players don't usually get the reference unfortunately.
Ally Sheedy was definitely one of my 80's crushes. This, War Games, and even Breakfast Club.
Man I almost forgot about War Games.
Absolutely!
She never was "sexed up" or "dolled up" yet there really was something about her. Incredible feminine charm.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I dunno, she showed off some leg in WarGames.
@@albertmartinez2539 😆
Oh man. This movie couldn't have been more in my wheelhouse as a 10 yr old boy when it dropped. This one, and Flight of the Navigator, were my two favs as kid. Such classics.
Compliance.
Absolutely! 2 great choices
No love for DARYL?
@@albertmartinez2539 That was great, too. Also another couple obscure childhood fever dreams were The Boy Who Could Fly, and The Peanut Butter Solution.
Number 5 and Max were puppeteered by the same man: Tim Blainey (he also voiced Number 5).
"Is she going to bang the robot?"
This ain't Howard the Duck
I may be mistaken, but this could be the first movie review where Matt had a harder time than Emily holding it together near the end there. I could feel the childhood nostalgia hitting him in the feels.
This one and its sequel are my two favorite movies from my childhood.
Loved watching them on VHS!
How about that sequel leading to one of the most revised song sequences to be reused in cinema.
Someone needs a Hero
Same.
Same
I've rewatched the sequel a lot more than the OG. Like 100 times more.
Can't believe someone actually reacted to Short circuit!!! This was such a fun 80s movie! Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy at their height!
They better react to the sequel
OMG YAY!!! Finally someone is reacting to Short Circuit
Agreed. Too many write off the second movie because of the cheesier parts(and missing cast members)... but it's my favorite of the two.
@@LockeTheCole Far more quotable, for sure.
@@LockeTheCole 1 plays into it's comedy and gets you to connect with Johnny and his happy curious personality. 2 really plays into the complex emotions that we all have to deal with, but unlike Johnny ... we have other humans that can understand and empathize with. 1 makes you laugh , 2 makes you cry. And I really love that it was written to really show he is ALIVE like us... they are both just such good.. underrated movies.
Same here! As much as I loved the first movie, I actually liked the second one better! I mean... how can you not get hyped once "I need a hero" starts playing?!?! That was what, a good 20 years before Shrek 2 used it again? haha
@@RyoHazuki224 Yeah, I used that as a measure for how old someone is when they hear that song. If they say Bonnie Tyler they are probably born 60-70s , if they say Short Circuit 2 80-90s and if it's Shriek 2 00-10s
erg I feel old lol
"Hey laser lips, Your momma was a snowblower." Was my favorite line from this movie and I always quoted it.
Back when I first got the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4 I actually built a Robot to make it look like Johnny 5 and I actually named em that too. I know it was a Robobrain tracks and the rest was mostly Assaultron body parts.
man, now I gotta try that!
I realize I’m not the only one saying it, but this and the sequel are two of my favorite movies from my childhood, even though this one is over ten years older than I am 😅
Short Circuit had to have been an inspiration for WALL-E. Their designs are so similar. This was a childhood favorite.
Number 5 is alive! 🤖
Looking forward to the day y'all watch the sequel. Los Locos are gonna do stuff! 😁
To outter spaaace!
Hahahah
Em’s not ready for what happened to Johnny 5 in the sequel I still cry to that
@@fortminor85 me too man. Me too.. and the 'I need a hero' scene at the end. Just randomly watched that bit yesterday, still gets me everytime.
The virgin joke gets me every time. I didn't know what it meant as a kid, or why my family was laughing so much over it.
Made me laugh harder than anything.
Ya'll cut out the best part. When Johnny 5 reprograms the robots to act like the Three Stooges.
I know! I totally wanted to see that!
I watched this all the time as a kid. Johnny 5 had so many great lines and I love him reprogramming the three robots as the Three Stooges.
"Stephanie change color, nice SOFTWARE!" was always one the the lines that got me roaring in laughter every time. Definitely watch the sequel, I think it is ever better than the first (even if they have to do a cannon rewrite on Ben's character)
"There's a robot......and it's in the 80s........"
Great way to describe this film! LOL
"Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do"
I had completely forgotten G.W. Bailey (Lt. Harris from Police Academy) was also in here.
going back to the 80s that man was a working fool
This movie is responsible for one of my favourite insults "Hey laserlips your moma was a Snowblower!"
I love Short Circuit 2 even more than the 1st one.
Same here!
I love Johnny Five’s heroic angle in the sequel.
one of the rare times where the sequel is better than the original.
I think she will like Short Circuit 2 given what she did and didn't like in this movie. I will look forward to that reaction.
G.W. Bailey (Schroeder)- was probably the most recognizable actor of the 80's. Between 80 and 89, he played over 27 roles for both TV and film.
He and Steve Guttenberg played off each other great, especially in Police Academy.
@@doughbafettabsolutely, even up through the 2000's with his more serious role on The closer/Major Crimes
To me, he'll always be Sergeant Rizzo, the Cajun boss of the 4077th motor pool on MASH.
Scroter
I'm mildly jealous of pippin. Look how relaxed pippin is.
This movie taught me about monosodium glutamate and I always think of Johnny-Five saying it when I look at a can of soup.
Great pick.Batteries Not Included if you want another classic with similar themes.
I think you guys would love Flight Of The Navigator.
I did _not_ get "marital aid" as a kid. I thought it meant "marriage counselor."
What I love about this movie. There's one set of jokes for kids, a completely different set of jokes for their parents.
Ally Sheedy was huge in the 80s. Short Circuit, War Games, Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, all big hits. So many great one liners in the movie, makes you laugh all through it. Do watch Police Academy for more Steve Guttenburg and others.
They already dun Police Academy! I think I’m gonna rewatch it now!
Back when kids movies didn't think kids were idiots and were willing to touch on issues with something resembling subtly (look it up you Disney hacks) I laughed when I first saw it I laugh now I even has a friend who teaches English who pointed out 'I am standing here, beside myself' is actually perfectly correct English so educational. The more adult innuendoes go straight over young kids head and make older kids and adults laugh, this how you do a real family movie
"Strategy ... Need some" is a line that is repeated by me like once a week!!! Great reaction you guys!!!
Thanks for reminding me of this beautiful movie, I was maybe 12 years young the first time I saw it. Almost forgot about this movie, which contributed to building my affinity for SciFi+comedy genre, which I still love (and miss nowadays).
I was kind of surprised there was no reference to Ben Jabituya being played by Fisher Stevens.
Same
Yeah, that part's a bit cringe.
Same.
I watched this as a kid and loved the movie. It was in heavy rotation on HBO in the mid 80’s. I didn’t recognize Stevens until this reaction and was a bit disappointed. I didn’t know the character was portrayed using brown face back then. That was unfortunate choice. It now tarnishes my enjoyment of it. Once you see it it’s hard to get past and relax and enjoy.
Yeah, I think they likely decides to avoid that in favor of an otherwise wonderful and enthusiastic reaction. Always a challenge watching older movies where there are some "it was a different time" bombs like Ace Ventura and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
@@Uatu-the-Watcher it's amazing that white people care about that more than indians
In the movie he says he originally designed it as a marital aid, so Emily isn't too far off lol
😋😂
Quotes I still say to this day, "Input? I'm full of it!" and "I enjoyed repeatedly throwing you to the ground."
I enjoy asking Indian friends to do lines from this movie. "Her pants are blazing for you!". They never do it...
@@st0n3p0ny omigosh, that's hilarious!!! Lol
YES!!! ..."hey lazer lips. your mother was a snowblower!" roflmao
"Hey Laserlips, Your Momma Was A Snowblower!!"
One Of The Best Diss Lines Ever!!
You guys should watch Short Circuit 2. Lots of fun.😂
Johnny 5 Is Alive! I was born in 1983. This film was a huge part of my childhood memories. I was obsessed. I still love this film.
I feel bad you didn’t get your prediction of Stephanie banging the robot. Now I must suggest ‘Howard The Duck’.
"Bye bye, goofy woman. I enjoyed repeatedly throwing you to the ground."
Ben had so many great lines in this flick.
‘Hey, Laserlips!! Your mama was a snowblower!! Bpbpbpbbpththth!!” This was a constant uttering throughout my childhood.
I've been quoting this movie since I was a kid. "Hey laser lips, your mama was a snowblower" has been said a thousand times throughout the years. You should definitely check out the sequel.
Personal favorite line:
"OF COURSE THERE'S A VAN!!" 🙂
Many dont like it but please do the sequel, Short Circuit 2. I think the ending of that is very poinent.
My all-time favorite scenes was when Johnny 5 is watching the 3 stooges and then reprogrammed the three robots
This is one of my favorite childhood movies!
"Johnny Five is ALIVE!!!" 😁😁
OK, now you have to react to Heavy Metal, so Em can really see a chick bang a robot. 😂😂
Seeing the early part with Stephanie at home, finding #5, made me think of Earth Girls are easy. Has she seen that?
Also you recognized Newton(Mahoney) from Police Academy, but Scroeder was also from the series. The antagonistic in one of the early films
I was hoping more people would react to this movie someday! I clearly remember watching this for the first time as a kid. I think it taught me a lot about having empathy for not just people, but things.
What stuns me about this is the performance of Fisher Stevens as Ben Jabituya? I used to watch a show call Early Edition costarring Fisher Stevens; it blew my mind when I realized it was the same actor. For more G. W. Bailey, watch Mannequin. My favorite line is "Nice Software!"
Yaaaaaay! Someone's reacting to "Short Circuit"!
For the longest time, I've waited for someone to watch this movie on UA-cam, but haven't dared to hope for it. As much as I've enjoyed this story since my childhood, I know that it's a bit problematic (primarily because of the character of Ben). To see you both watching -- and enjoying -- the adventures of Johnny 5 is so rewarding.
My favourite line: "Nun Soup?"
Slightly disappointed that you edited that out. Although Ben's "virgin or used to be" line is a close second.
Keep up the great reactions!
I waited the ENTIRE first half to see her reaction to 'Your momma was a SNOW BLOWER'
"Life not malfunction!"
Indeed, Johnny 5.
"No Shit, Where see Shit" is the line I've quoted the most from this film. I don't even have occasion to use it, it just pops out. Actually no, it's "Franky, You broke the Unwritten Law."
I'm running away bitch, you're trying to get me killed...
Holy shit, thanks for the laugh.
Thank for you watching this. It's such a classic and it's so disappointing more people don't react to it, such a huge part of my childhood!
This movie was half a century ahead of its time if you think about it. Here in 2023/2024 we are just scratching the surface of ai programming and just beginning to talk about the possibility of sentient robotics. Yet all the way back in 1986 they made a movie about just that! A robot with enough memory space and the ability to learn and self diagnose its own health (diagnostics) ,had the potential to eventually learn enough to become a self aware sentient being that then falls into the human rights category. Literally damn near 50 years ahead of its time ...
12:20 For a split second I was like, "Why are they afraid of Avon?"
"Did she stick her tongue down your troat?"
"Oh, dem. Cleveland."
"I am standing here beside myself!"
So many great lines!
I am standing here beside myself. Someone has actually done a reaction to this.
“No disassemble number 5” was what I would quote whenever I got in trouble as a kid
Always loved this movie as a kid especially the "evil" robots with the voices from the 80s game Berzerk.
"Get tha humanoid!"
@@dr.burtgummerfan439”coin detected in pocket”
"Fish! Salmon! SUSHI!" became a minor meme in my house because of this film.
"She gone screw that robot 👀." 🤣
I've been called Johnny 5 more times than I'd care to admit, but I love this movie.
Idk of either of you have seen it but Space camp was one of my childhood movies I would love to see you 2 review that movie it also has a cute robot sidekick
80s "kids" movies pushed hard on Science and Tech story lines.
No complaints about it at all.
Hopefully we'll see a reaction to the sequel as it's a good follow-on to this one, I think it might even make Emily cry at a few scenes.
I'm surprised there was no comment Re: Fisher Stevens and him going Indian for this film for no apparent reason.
Fisher Stevens Indian is kinda an overly critisised part of the movie when in reality from what ive read heard and even talked about with, Indians is that he actually did a really good impression to the point alot of Indian people (even myself included as a kid, im not Indian but have Indian family) actually thought he WAS Indian.
It wasnt an offensive stereotype nor was it played to be offensive, sure they could have used a real Indian actor but what they got was perfectly fine.
@@NZBigfoot It's more that it was an odd thing to do & I thought they would have mentioned it.
It wasn't for no apparent reason. It was written as an Indian character.
@@doughbafett And they could have got an Indian actor or adapted the part to fit the actor, making him up to be Indian served no purpose.
@@pedanticperson1149 I think it has a lot more to do with they wanted an Indian character but there was a lack of well known (or any really) Indian actors in Hollywood at the time. While Ben's character may have been a side character, he got a lot of screen time so the would have wanted a recognizable (well known-ish) actor playing him.
"I am standing here beside myself" is still one of my fav lines. Still hard to process he's the same actor as "the Plague" from the movie "Hackers"
😅The kitty making biscuits in the background At the end ❤❤❤
Incredible, that they managed to create that robot with all the moving parts for the movie.
When the robotic hand flipped Ben off, I had to go back to 3:05 to see if Matthew reacted. Lol, wasn't disappointed. 😂😂
One of my favourite sci-fi movies!!
Thank you for reviewing 😁👍🏻
JOHNNY 5!!;!
One of my favorites as a kid. Like Matthew, I too was desensitized by The Terminator. Good stuff!
As a teen when this came out a) the line about getting the grass out went way over my head (I lived a sheltered life :P ), and b) as an Aussie, this was the first time I discovered there was a product called Dr Pepper. It took ages to get some context (not the first time for a movie with Steve Guttenberg), given how long I had to wait for there to be an internet. :D Still remember loving the movie.
A lot of the filming locations were up and down I-84 in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Vista House is the most obvious one, but the Bonneville Dam was used for Nova Robotics, obviously parts of Astoria, and as an odd continuity error, the lunch wagon chase to the marina is in Cascade Locks (I’ve run under that low clearance tunnel as part of the Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon).
Someone just bought Stephanie's house within the last year or so and they're a fan and are restoring it back to what it looks like in SC.
I think about this movie a lot, but probably haven’t seen it since the 80’s. Seems like it was just as good as I remember it to be.
I have very fond memories of this movie. I definitely think one of my first crushes was Ally Sheedy's character Stephanie.
I saw it in theaters with my Dad when I was 11.
For some reason I still remember listening to Peter Gabriel's new song at the time Sledgehammer in the car on the way home.
I suddenly feel old.
You can clearly see the character Wall-E's appearance took some inspiration from Johnny-5
The end is always a tearjerker for me even though I know that it will all be okay.
THANK YOU 10 TIMES for REACTING to this Movie! I have it in my collection! I didn't know there was a #2 SHORT CIRCUIT & if you've REACTED to it I'll find it!! Love this Robot Story! And your Laughter is a 10!!!! And YES, I'm a NEW SUBSCRIBER!! (Oldman in my 70's!) 2023 & still ROCKIN' with The Classic 80's REAL MUSIC you can sing along with!
Grew up on this movie and loved it the first time I seen it can’t wait to see y’all react to part 2 sequel
Ally Sheedy makes my pants feel tighter - even when I saw this as a kid. Johnny 5 would probably create his own special attachments for her once he got all the input he needed.
So happy to see this, I've always LOVED this movie! I hope you will watch the sequel, it's one of the rare times I liked the sequel even more than the original and I love the original!
Mt bff and I kept "ya mama was a snowblower" in our insult bank for years.😂
"Artax!"
"How dare you!"
OMG, I am ded from laughter...these guys know how to poke my funny bone. 🤣🤣💯💯
Man, I loved being a kid in the 80's, I think we got to grow up in probably the best decade.
36 years later and I still call people laser lips and tell them their mother was a snow blower! Lol love it
that "flip the bird" forshadowing look at the camera lol ;) 3:08 . Also completly makes sense to be outside with equipment during a lightning storm... lol
So many good memories,so many good lines
Squash,,dead….disassemble,dead…disassemble..DEAD!
Hey laser lips
When I first saw this as a kid,the end had me crying and crying as I truly believed the robot died.
First movie ever that made me cry over a robot when I was a kid.
I forgot how much I love this movie, it was my favorite movie as a kid.
I don't think I watched this one as much as I should have, but the sequel was on cable all the time. I've seen it hundreds of times.
This film is Pure 80's at its finest.
Ally Sheedy is just casting perfection...
We really should see more of her films.
One of my favourite childhood movies (I was 8 when this came out). Instantly quotable - don't know how many times I've used "no disassemble number 5" in my lifetime! I was so, SO happy to introduce this movie to my boys when they were the same age - it became a Friday/Saturday night favourite for them too! Funny, they drew immediate parallels to the design of Wall-E when we saw that one! Never looked it up, but I'm sure Johnny 5 was an inspiration.
Thanks for another fun reaction that represented my childhood! Cheers!
Man, I LOVED this movie as a kid!
One of my favorite lines in a movie ever. " I am thinking she is a virgin or at least she used to be."
Johnny 5 is alive. This was such good fun back in the day, and a joy to watch it again and your reaction!
One of my favorite movies ever. I saw it at the drive in. Drive ins were almost dead then.
When I was little this and "Back To the Future" were the movies my parents would put on for me just out of habit. I grew to hate them lol.
Hey Laser Lips, your mama was a snowblower! 🤣🤣
This is one of the many films I remember my dad renting from the local vhs shop, I loved it. A few years ago I got to see a full-size replica of J5 up close and I started to cry, all the emotions hit me from being a kid.
I was born in 72, and like you, I'm a movie guru. I've got some recommendations for ya! Here's ten great films to add to your to watch list.
1. "The Boy who could fly" (1986)
2. "Parenthood" (1989)
3. "L.A. Story" (1991)
4. "Dead Calm" (1989)
5. "Deathtrap" (1982)
6. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (1988)
7. "Soapdish" (1991)
8. "Kiss me Goodbye" (1982)
9. "Starman" (1984)
10. "Powder" (1995)
I'll suggest others later, ten's enough for now. Happy viewing.
"She gon' bang that robot" DEAD! I hope you use every chance you can to use this phrase in viewings of other movies.
I loved this movie as a kid. I was known to hum the theme song by El Debarge frequently. Ally Sheedy is great. Her role in The Breakfast Club was so good.
HEY PIPPIN! They just called you a cat! Are you gonna take that lying down?
