    What the fuck
    Did I just see a lovable robot sidekick get brutally beaten to death with an axe as he begged for mercy by the fucking mafia?

    • @jp3813
      @jp3813 10 лет назад +26

      Corrections:
      1) He didn't die, he got his revenge!
      2) He's the main character, not just a sidekick.
      3) They're not mafia, just thieves.

      Sorta. I don't think they're mafia. Still......I'd switch Johnny5 for C-Threepio during that epic beatdown anyday.

      Spring Coil Ah man, I never shall the scene (or the movie) until this review. This is possibly some of the most traumatizing crap you could make a kid watch (that wouldnt have you locked up). I kind of torn up about the way he kept saying "Im alive" as they continyed to beat him mercilessly. Thats really messed up.

      Me three. Very traumatizing scene. I kinda wanted Johnny 5 to use his laser to burn the guy's nuts off. Then I remembered that Johnny 5 removed his laser. He should've had "Los Locos" beat him up or something.

    • @Griezz
      @Griezz 9 лет назад +2

      Testify! The first time that I saw this in theatres, I was actually crying when Johnny Five appeared to be dying. I also still consider the whole final chase/"Holdin' Out for a Hero" scene to be freakin' EPIC!

      @supreme_red_dalek_of_doom4970 8 лет назад

      Shut up, we all know that Macs have superior capabilities, and Windows has an inferior system, only better for playing games, and gets viruses all of the time.

    • @TheBelieveit1
      @TheBelieveit1 8 лет назад +5

      Supreme_Red_Dalek_ Of_Doom! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!
      You mean that Macs come standard with the same stuff while you can build your own PC to be not only as capable but even superior for less than it costs to actually buy a Mac. Not only that but should your Mac break down, you essentially have to purchase a brand new one where as with a PC all you have to do is pay for a new part which is vastly cheaper. And you can use third party hardware on your PC, even to the point you can use anything that you could for a Mac where as with a Mac you have to purchase only other Apple products cause they're incompatible with anything else. PC's are faster, greener, easier to upgrade, more versatile and cheaper.
      Also, do you know WHY PC's get more viruses? Because more people use them. Why waste your time creating a virus that won't spread? Not to mention it's already bad enough that that person bought a Mac, why pour salt on the gaping wound? XD And there's just a little thing called an Anti-Virus software which does wonders.
      Let's face it, you're just buying a sleek looking paper weight that's so insecure it has to claim it's better than the competition when at the end of the day, PC's are better.

    Remember when movies were fun and enjoyable? Man, those were the days. BTW, the only reason why that beat-down scene is so brutal, is because we the audience actually care about the character. Remember what that feels like, watching a movie where you actually care about the characters? For all their flaws, these movies were fun to watch, dont sell them short.

    I have a (maybe) explanation for why the other NOVA robots missed 5 when they fired at him...the lightening strike erased 5's original programming, resulting in developing his own personality, so he was no longer in "sync" with the others. Yet he could still calculate trajectory. How he was able to deflect Fred's rifle bullets; he could see the angle it was pointing.

    • @DeeCross
      @DeeCross 10 лет назад +10

      Except Robert Downey Jr wearing blackface in Tropic Thunder *was* racist. The only reason people *sometimes* give it a pass is because the movie was explicitly using it to show that the practice is incredibly insulting *regardless* of lack of malicious intent.

    • @Moviefan2k4
      @Moviefan2k4 10 лет назад +4

      I respectfully disagree. If there's no cruelty or maliciousness involved, its not racism.

    • @DeeCross
      @DeeCross 10 лет назад +15

      Moviefan2k4 Yeah, funnily enough it doesn't actually work like that. Even if you somehow can come up with a 'respectful' form of the act of 'playing a different race' (which you can't because of the specific history of blackface) then you've still performed racist casting by deciding a white person in make-up was better for the role then a person of the correct ethnicity.

      Dee Cross No. It does work that way. You see, we accept it JUST FINE when the skin color is the same, but the country of origin is not. Alan Rickman, Sean Connery, Milla Jovovich and so on. Nobody complains then. Why? Because the actors in question handle the performance so damn well. It only seems to matter some of the time,usually when the role in question is of someone of a darker shade of skin color. If the actor wanted to play the part and the casting department thought his particular performance was right for the job, then that is their fucking choice, and it is not racist.

      OpenMawProductions Okay, so. Let's ignore the *horrible* stereotype that the character of Ben is and just break this down for you because you seriously do not understand.
      The casting department for these two films *literally decided that a white person could play an Indian man better than an Indian man*.

      I'm sorry, no need to be rude. Some people like macs for their own reasons, others prefer PC. I don't care either way and your comment sounded like you didn't get the joke, or could it be that your opinion against Macs makes you unable to see the joke had to be worded that way.

    I have to admit it too, That had a big impact on me as a kid. I really liked the movies as a kid despite the silliness, and he grew on me. Seeing 5 so broken and unlively after all that fun energy tore at me. I haven't seen the movie in nearly 16 years, and I nearly cried just from these few clips, something the movie did right!
    This is a now underappreciated movie since no movie will ever attempt the same practical effects employed in this one. Just all... CGI now. It's part of the charm.

  • @LostNbound

    This is one of those times where the NC talks shit, and comes off as an asshole. Yes Howard's character is played by a white guy, but aside from having a heavy accent I don't see how it's overly racist. Especially when the characters name is Howard but Critic is sitting there calling him Apu and Hanji. That's fucking racist lol

    • @actionjackson3522
      @actionjackson3522 9 лет назад +13

      It's racist because there were actual Indian actors who could have played the role. And NC is naming Indian characters from other films, who were similarly played by White people.

    • @SparksDrinker
      @SparksDrinker 9 лет назад +4

      Jalon M. Gordon Capt Flea is right, NC was actually being more racist than the character, and who cares if they could have got a real Indian to play it.

    • @actionjackson3522

    But the second one, yeah when he is beaten up? Whoa, almost as evil and eye-watering as the scenes with Gizmo in Gremlins...kids-movies back in the days really had some dark streaks now and then, didn't they?

    I've only seen Short Circuit 2 once and barely remember it, but the first film remains, to this day, one of my favorite movies from my childhood. As a kid, I was really into robots, and that's mostly what I watched it for back then, but when I went back and watched it years later, I really enjoyed everything else about it as well.

    While I do love the Nostalgia Critic and almost everything he's done, I absolutely adore the fact that this movie was able to slap the sarcastic smirk right off his face at 23:30. Think about it; a scene so moving and visceral that the NOSTALGIA CRITIC can't yuk at it. That right there might be my favorite scene in the entire movie.

    Short Circuit 2 is better than the first in almost every single way. Surprisingly as the critic pointed out, it has a few really dramatic moments along with the comedy. All in all, it is a really under appreciated film in my opinion.

    it's mutual. If you hadn't admitted it, I might not of said anything. On a side note, I discovered there is a fairly large community of robotic enthusiasts who build not only functioning R2D2 robots, but also recreations of Johnny 5.
    You might want to look up some of the projects. I'm betting these are fellow fans who also shared the impact of those scenes.
