"Number 5 is ALIVE." Fun Fact: The sound of Johnny 5's (Tim Blaney) laser firing is the same effect as the Ghostbusters' Proton Packs powering up. Location Location Fact: Filmed in the town of Astoria, OR, where also The Goonies (1985) and Kindergarten Cop (1990) were filmed. Stephanie's (Ally Sheedy) house still exists and is located in Astoria. In November of 2019 it sold for $340,000. Casting Notes Fact: In this film and Short Circuit 2 (1988), Johnny 5's voice was provided by puppeteer Tim Blaney. This casting decision was made due to the director's belief that real-time interaction with the robot prop would make the interaction seem more natural on-screen than if they edited his voice in during post-production. Movie Magic Fact: Many of the little tricks done by Johnny 5 (Tim Blaney) on-screen (like flipping through book pages in a blink of the eye and tossing a washer into the air in a mimic of a scene from an old gangster movie he saw) were done using relatively simple, yet ingenious slight-of-hand prop effects. For instance, the pages were flipped using an air hose, while the washer was flipped using a piece of string at both ends sideways. Not only did this save money for the producers for the actual robot and the screenplay, but they proved to be remarkably effective in getting just the right look needed for the scenes.
