He looks just like Johnny 5. There better be a nod to him in this movie.

Yeah I saw a preview for this a while back.. I saw the same resemblance too.. I hope they make an homage of Johnny 5..

[jrmiller84]

Johnny 5 was the shit, anyone think this may be some kind of prequel? It seems a little too close to Johnny 5 for it not to be some kind of prequel to Short Circuit.

Doubt it. If you remember the SC story, they were just built.

short circuit: it's the 80's and some indian dude is all about the robots
"wall-e": it's the future and earth is fuck'd

Johnny 5 was the MAN errrr........... ROBOT. period. hollywood sucks. they can never come up with their own ideas. but we all know that. even though its obviously a copy, it looks like its going to be good. i hope J5 at least gets a nod.

I bought Short Circuit at Wal Mart for $5.50 like a year and a half ago and I think it is still in the plastic.
I think this thread will cause me to uncase that this weekend.

hmmm seems it might have some potential, just woulda been better if they didnt knock the johnny 5 look from short circuit

DISASEMBLE...the plastic and get to watching.

I was hoping they would have released a 20th Ann. SE DVD, but no luck.

[ManoNegra]

Short Circuit... brings back memories. Yeah, there's definitely a resemblance. But Pixar can't do wrong so I don't think it'll bother me while I watch Wall-E. New Trailer is out btw.

"tu madre se anamoro de mi pero" to the crook

[eastcoastS14]

What's funny is Fisher Stevens (Ben) isn't Indian. He's a white guy in brownface. I wonder if the PC Police would let that fly today.

Any movie with Steve Guttenberg gets a thumbs up in my book, especially ones where he has a mullet

You wuv him don't you?

[PhilthyS13]

I'm actually more of a Michael Winslow fan, but yeah - I like Steve. I like shitty movies in general, so people like him and the Coreys are always on my netflix.

I remember seeing Short Circuit in the theater. The Coronet, which is now a dirthole (literally).

[qt_240]

Man Johnny 5.. one of my favorite movies growing up.. def. taking me back, i did see the resemblance when I was @ the movies.. I originally thought it was a cartoon remake of "short circuit".. then i found out.. i was wrong...

[articdragon192]

Pixar always does good movies. I saw the teaser for it in Ratatoullie and I really can't wait for it.

[brndck]

los locos kick your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into OUTER SPACE!!!

short circuit rules, and its rly lame that hollywood can't come up with anything original.

[supad0rk]

[jackjack]

[FaLKoN240]

The guys that produced that movie were in my work last week...

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Aww, he's a cute little guy...

[LB.Motoring]
