Making of Short Circuit aired on HBO. Interviews with Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, etc. Sorry about the bad audio, those electrons floated off the VHS tape years ago.
Have this movie on Blu-ray and portions of this HBO Special is in the special features but not the whole thing. Totally awesome to find the full thing here.
it seems the audio in some of these shots is an earlier cut of the film? the military units use old voice synthesis, but one clip is clearly a monotone reading, when in the final edit, it's has an inflection to the voice, is it perhaps a mono mix of the film?
@@chrisnicini834 hey, not THAT obvious. Tape itself could have been the culprit as well, although judging from how this noise appears, my money's on the VCR.
@@pHD77 I meant that to be funny, not hostile, but you're right it's probably the VCR. Some tapes play fine in one machine and not the other I have and the next tape will be just the opposite. For example - home movies on one look terrible but recorded tv shows play fine. I was relieved to find those home movies played perfectly on the other. I've had to make the decision to just put them up as is or else the whole process will take forever. Unfortunately I've had a lot of tapes that I put in, hit rewind and then "SNAP." If I knew they were that brittle I'd have done this years ago.
@@PeacefulPauseProductions Man, you must have seen/owned some bad players, then. I've owned about, oh, 8 VCRs or so since the mid-eighties - 3 of them were Betamax. Only one of those was a crappy one (an old VHS top-loader from Toshiba) which often had a tendency to chew tapes and would suffer from tracking issues. Sure, the resolution was quite low (somewhat equal to the look of a clean 360p video), but I've only seen this amount of flicker and noise if I had gotten my hands on a degraded tape or a VCR with worn out hardware inside.
This was a lovely video to view, thanks for getting it out there. I wish we had more clips of the rehearsals!
Love this!! So 80's! Wish i lived these times!!

Thanks for sharing. Very valuable, interesting footage!
I think this is my favorite Steve Gutenberg's film.
I find it even more interesting that Space Camp was the first thing on the tape here.
Maybe #5 and Jinx were friends
MAX IN SPAACCEEEEEE
"Do you think this dance is easy?" LOL, Johnny 5 was very temperamental as an actor.
Man... I remember classic hbo... Awesome

I would like to see the remake.
Space camp awesome film too
It’s funny how they talk to each other
Ally Sheedy is such a sweetheart. Also, I don't care what Austin Pendleton says; Steve Guttenberg was great here.
AWESOME!
0:38 Hollywood?? More like Babelsberg...
Guttenberg.
I kew it! A *REAL* Robot!
but he's alive!
Someone's VHS player is in really bad shape...
Someone loves pointing out the obvious...

@@pHD77 this was the case most of the time back in those days. The quality was never perfect.

The added static sound is to much
£500000. Noice.
