The moment they're about to hit his eye (when he's saying Nooooo aahhh.), you can see J-5's head vibrate/shake a bit. That's due to the belts on his wheels turning as he's trying to get up but is obviously unable to.
Interesting off-topic technical goof: When the bad guys first hit Johnny 5 when he's holding Oscar, you can see his head fall off if you look at the top of his body.
I’m a 35 year old man and I cry like a baby EVERYTIME I see this. Gets me deep, always has. Johnny 5 just doesn’t understand why they are trying to kill him as he could never imagine hurting another soul as they are hurting him
I've been thinking about the psychology of why this is so emotional. Johnny is naive and has a child like logic, child like innocence. He is good and courageous but vulnerable. So seeing Johnny get beat I think we react the way we do seeing an innocent like a child, an impaired adult, or animal being beat. I think it must connect with something deep protection (child rearing?) instinct. Its also very emotional during the "I need a hero" scene, because despite being badly damaged and nearly dead, he maintains courage in the face of it, as a true hero. True bravery is not about not being scared, its being scared and doing what is right anyway in the face of your own mortality. Maybe just a cheesy movie, but some solid morals there. The hesitation of the guy with the axe is deliberate, its teaching kids that your conscience knows the difference between right and wrong, and he goes ahead and does the wrong thing knowing he's a douchebag and a coward. Sadly in real life, the really bad guys don't even have the conscience check.
+Tripledonkey Ax guy is a lot like that new kid who just fell in with a street gang and this is his first time truly experiencing the kind of violence they can stoop to. He hesitates, having admired how advanced Johnny is throughout the film is, viewing him as a great achievement in robotics. However, he knows that sparing Johnny will never fly with his boss and crowbar guy, and so gives in.
I have always liked this movie, and this scene always bothered me. You just shed some light on it that made me see it in a whole new light, that makes sense. Thank You! Also, a good friend of mine, his father did the sets for this movie. He has one of the mini J5's from the start of the movie in his house.
You are exactly right. Johnny 5 is innocent, so seeing him being beaten like that is like watching an animal, a child, or a impaired adult reciveing the same treatment. I think what you've described is why I've always loved this movie. If you look beneath the surface, there's actually way more depth and substance in it, than there is in the average "kid's movie".
Whilst that is true. Johnny 5 needs to be a character the viewer actually cares about, for them to react so strongly to the scene. So it's a sign that the film makers did a great job in making Johnny 5 a character that people empathised with, and cared for.
@G.A.P. Metal Punk i agree the first was cringe. in retrospect, the 2nd wasnt particularly great either, but it was pretty memorable for the animatronics, the music, the fact a guy fakes an indian accent despite being from like chicago or something, it was all sorts of awful and wonderful at the same time
SouthCalifas619 i agree kids need to know not all pepole are on the side of angels. It’s to bad Newton ahd Stephine we’re not there they could have stopped them
Yea it did. Don't try to kidnap wealthy crooked buisnessmen if your a robot..also be sure to have your drones on a secure network, hackers are everywhere......AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE...GGGIIIIII JJJOOOEEEEE!! -the cartoon
This scene was very traumatizing to me as a kid, even now as an adult, I find it hard to watch. In a way though, it shows what a great job the film makers did with Johnny 5, making him a character you actually cared about and empathised with. This scene is also needed to make Johnny's revenge the massive pay off which it is. But it still hits all my emotional buttons seeing the savage beating Johnny recieves. The movie would not be as great without that scene, but it's still hard to watch. :(
Maybe it's just me, but it's extra heartbreaking when you realize the bad guy with the ax didn't want to do this. Just look at his facial expressions when swinging, and when "blood" gets on his shirt.
@Mike Demirdjian Yeah, always felt he was a reluctant criminal overall. He also showed amazement at Johnny 5 when he first saw him, so had respect for him as a unique robot.
I love his performance in particular because it subtly shows a whole depth of internal struggle in a few moments, and it is one that I expect many people are familiar with. He hears Johnny 5 plead with him in a way that he, as a programmer, knows shouldn't be possible. He sees this arterial spray splatter on him. For a moment, he knows this is wrong. But he looks to the mob (the other two criminals) and they are shouting thought-killing cliches and orders and exhibiting the lack of remorse associated with smashing a problematic printer with a baseball bat. And eventually he rationalizes away his reservations and continues destroying Johnny.
Its not blood. Its battery fluid. It is colored red for affect. Even tho Johnny 5 says he is alive. He is not. He is sentient but not alive in the sense we understand. Great movie was as good as the first.
+thejoser exaclty the same as me it traumatized me im 28 and every time i watch the movie it bring back that sadness but overall the movie is full of emotions comedy love action compassion etc
it one of the strongest peak of nostalgia (in a movie) that make you want to go back in the past to relieve happier time that piano song the face he made
When you're a kid and you see one of your favorite characters get betrayed and graphically beat the hell out of. It kind of opens you to the real world.
I first saw this scene when I was 7 years old and while it somewhat traumatized me it ultimately taught me about human cruelty and deception from the perspective of the victim Johnny 5. Movies like this taught kids about all kinds human emotions and interactions even the more difficult terrible ones. However it did this almost always with the message that good would ultimately triumph over evil unlike Hollywood's often cynical selfishly motivated relativism message it sends to kids today. Another thought is if this scene had been the beating of an actual human being in the same way (blood flying and axe to the eye etc) it would have never been approved with a PG rating or any kind of kids film. Whether it was a human or not didn't matter in the affect it had on me emotionally as Johnny five was alive and a beloved character as valuable in the viewers eyes as any human being.
@Darth Memeious I agree, it sure is as he was saying that he's alive and not just any robot on remote control. I was happy at the end he was made all gold and probably hardened where probably if anyone tried hitting him with anything, he would be too hardened to be smashed up.
It is unbelievable as so many people when they were kids just couldn't watch this part. I just had to leave the room and come back later. Also what surprised me, that the movie has got such a low popularity, when I was a kid I loved it, I quess I wouldn't watch it now again as I have grown up.
in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't a particularly good movie, but it was pretty emotive and had a strong resonance and lots of people look back on it who are in their 30s/40s
The part at 1:32 really gets to me... You can see he know what he's doing is wrong, but it's too late to stop for him. The music, the acting and the feels really come together...
I’ll always refer to that character as Derf… Derf started off largely unsympathetic, but knowing Johnny redeemed him a bit… I think Derf seeing a mortally wounded J5 still trusting him pushed him in the direction he needed to go, J5 still retaining hope after his savage beating… And this scene is still heartbreaking today Right up there with the Iron Giant’s “Superman” scene and the “paper bags” scene from When the Wind Blows…
This scene was VERY difficult for me to watch as a child. We had recorded it from television (remember when we used to do that?) on VHS (remember those?) and it is one of the few scenes from any film that made me cry. My mother had to force my face back towards the television to make me watch and to try to make me laugh at the toy aeroplane flying at the man's rear end. I think, as some have noted, that it goes to something primal, because the Johnny 5 says repeatedly "I'm alive" and he, like you, the child, is growing up and learning. At the same time, he's a machine, but as children many of us used to have mechanical toys (of robot kind and otherwise) that we had fun pretending were alive, so it's primal in that way too. That at least one of the two thugs is shown to hesitate several times before he strikes shows you that he, too, can't quite remove from his mind the idea that he has jumped from robbery to murder. I can watch the scene well enough now without too much of a problem and years later I would watch films with murder and blood and gore. At the same time, I think it is partly because of this scene that I have difficulty seeing "not-quite-human" things being killed on screen, whether it's this, the dismantling of HAL in "2001: Space Odyssey" (which I saw later) or Eurisko being given a virus in the X-Files episode "Ghost in the Machine".
I always hated this part as a kid, and to this day at 39 years old I start crying when they beat him and he's begging them not to hurt him. And hearing Oscar aka Max from Dirty Dancing shouting "Smash the damn thing!" just...I'm a little kid in my living room clutching my teddy bear crying all over again.
Not enough credit is giving to the effects team and the director in the movie. They made you actually view J5 as a sentient being. All the little things here - the splashing battery acid, the widening of his pupils as critical components get damaged, the hesitation and look of empathy from the bald guy while he beat him. It all really comes together as a very tragic but powerful scene.
Thanks to the Nostalgia Critic, when watching this scene I always hear in a deep voice: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! JOOHHNY FIIIIIIIIIIVE!!! JOHNNY FIIIIIIIIIIIVE....!
When I was a kid my stomach hurt so very hard while crying. I was in serious pain. I got sick afterwards and stayed home school because of my illness. That's because no one knows how I feel about Johnny five; I AM A HUGE FAN OF THIS GUY!
Oh god right in the feels....This was absolutely horrifying to watch as a child. But you know, for being a weaponized military robot, you'd think they'd have made him a little more durable
***** I thought about it after the fact, but u remembered that in the first movie the military plan was to drop them into enemy territory carrying high yield nukes I think it was and they were essential going to be used for suicide bombing.
I always figured he was a prototype/technology demonstrator and that if Nova had managed to secure a government contract they'd produce a hardened version for actual combat.
IKR? I love the revenge scene, particularly with that Bonnie Tyler hero song playing in the background while he's taking each villain down! "Ew-scray, Oo-yay, Ozo-Bay!" Still one of my favorites!😂
It's still a sad scene to watch. By this point in the film, viewers developed a connection with Jonny 5 and had feelings for him and to see him go through this was quite sad.
This is pretty brutal for a movie that kids watch. I watched terminator lower himself into the steel in T2 as a kid. That was sad, but he was a tough bad ass who volunteered. This is like beating a puppy
This is a Spike Lee/Scorsese beat down that not only still breaks my heart but I think I still care for this character more then most human characters nowadays.
I actually don't watch this movie because of this part anymore and here I am specifically searching out this part. Tore me up as a kid and still does at 37
One of my favorite movies as a kid. The sheer brutality of this scene is what makes it hard for any age to watch. Its all in the little touches too, such as J5 reaching for his eye after its been busted out.
It's amazing how even though he dosen't feel pain phisucally, you can still hear and connect with his emotional pain, his pleading only makes the impact more real.
I watched this film around 10 years ago and i have never found out what it was called to this day. This scene has been imprinted into my head as it caused such an emotional uproar at a time when i was so young. Finally i get to re watch this so many thanks onJa007 for this
close to crying when i first watched this, brings back some bad memories, it took me 11 years to get over this, just watched it, opened up some old scars, dude this scene is sad as heck!
I'm always a bit conflicted when I Saunders (the axe thug) reaction to being forced into beating Johnny. Jones(crowbar thug) is fine and dandy with smashing 5 to pieces but almost everyone of Saunders hit's on Johnny is ordered by Oscar and you see him hesitate almost every time with Oscar having to remind him 5 can incriminate them and get them all sent to prison. It's almost like he's been plucked out of the audience and being told to brutally beat a beloved childhood hero to death with a crowbar or and his family get killed.
I watched this movie only once in my childhood, but i clearly remember crying and screaming when they starts beating the robot, i cant even finish the movie
I bet the robot wasn't cheap, the actors were just afraid that if they break him wrong or just have to redo the scene, they'll have it cut from wages lol
I watched it today and i had tears again again. This scene is perfect, Johnny crying he's alive, those hits in slow-mo, this epic music starting with this plane flying, everything is breathtaking here I always wanted to kick Oscars ass off
Well Johnny couldn't do that even if he wanted because he got no feet. Anyway, this is a sad scene in some respects, the guy who played Oscar really sounded like a villan when you heard him yell "Smash the dam thing!" All because he tricked Johnny into helping him rob the bank and knows that he is a witness that could idenitfy him, while Johnny is techinally guilty of breaking and entering, the fact he bought three crooks to justice and what he went through, I'm sure he was forgiven by the courts.
The combination of "BASH THE DAMN THING!" and "No, no, please! Am alive!" at 1:20 hurts so much.
Either way, it's still extremely brutal for a PG movie.
The moment they're about to hit his eye (when he's saying Nooooo aahhh.), you can see J-5's head vibrate/shake a bit. That's due to the belts on his wheels turning as he's trying to get up but is obviously unable to.
Interesting off-topic technical goof: When the bad guys first hit Johnny 5 when he's holding Oscar, you can see his head fall off if you look at the top of his body.
I used to cry at this as a kid. Even now a fully grown man it still makes me feel sad slightly
I’m a 35 year old man and I cry like a baby EVERYTIME I see this. Gets me deep, always has. Johnny 5 just doesn’t understand why they are trying to kill him as he could never imagine hurting another soul as they are hurting him
I know , this was my 1st heart break lol , I’m 39 , when I was a kid this tore me up

One of the benefits of this scene, is that afterwards, it brought J5 and Fred to a great friendship.
That scene after with Fred n j5 where he can't speak still tears me
When fred fixes him them helps him get revenge is great
I’ll always refer to that character as Derf…
Derf started off largely unsympathetic, but knowing Johnny redeemed him a bit… I think Derf seeing a mortally wounded J5 still trusting him pushed him in the direction he needed to go, J5 still retaining hope after his savage beating…
And this scene is still heartbreaking today
Right up there with the Iron Giant’s “Superman” scene and the “paper bags” scene from When the Wind Blows…

Hey i was born in 85 and loved this movie as a child… i feel you af
This hurt me so much to watch as a child
Sobbed my heart out to it when I was a kid and crying over it now at 33!! NOT ashamed of it either.
This is a Spike Lee/Scorsese beat down that not only still breaks my heart but I think I still care for this character more then most human characters nowadays.
Those two couldnt dream of making this.
I remember silently weeping to this scene as a child! I would like to say time is a healer, but it's not.
RIP Hitchbot
As a little boy I never hated three men more in my life after they did this to Johnny 5.
This has been repressed in my memory..........forgot how traumatizing this was.
I actually don't watch this movie because of this part anymore and here I am specifically searching out this part. Tore me up as a kid and still does at 37
I know the description says don't cry. but I'm 27 and I'm still welling up to this scene.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. The sheer brutality of this scene is what makes it hard for any age to watch. Its all in the little touches too, such as J5 reaching for his eye after its been busted out.
This is still hard to watch as an adult.
It's attempted murder of an incredibly good guy, machine or not.
It's amazing how even though he dosen't feel pain phisucally, you can still hear and connect with his emotional pain, his pleading only makes the impact more real.
I watched this film around 10 years ago and i have never found out what it was called to this day. This scene has been imprinted into my head as it caused such an emotional uproar at a time when i was so young. Finally i get to re watch this so many thanks onJa007 for this
Short Circuit 2
close to crying when i first watched this, brings back some bad memories, it took me 11 years to get over this, just watched it, opened up some old scars, dude this scene is sad as heck!
I'm always a bit conflicted when I Saunders (the axe thug) reaction to being forced into beating Johnny. Jones(crowbar thug) is fine and dandy with smashing 5 to pieces but almost everyone of Saunders hit's on Johnny is ordered by Oscar and you see him hesitate almost every time with Oscar having to remind him 5 can incriminate them and get them all sent to prison. It's almost like he's been plucked out of the audience and being told to brutally beat a beloved childhood hero to death with a crowbar or and his family get killed.
I watched this movie only once in my childhood, but i clearly remember crying and screaming when they starts beating the robot, i cant even finish the movie
A lot of that initial bashing was editing out on a TV version I taped as a kid. I see why. That was intense.
This is flat out murder thats why. There still are blood and bolts flying
Damn this still makes my eyeballs sweaty!😭😭😭😭 love Johnny 5
Nostalgia critic brought me here...
officer patrolling: just a normal day with a guy running with a ax
This scene messed me up more than Robocop 1 when I was a kid (around 5 years old)
You're not the only one. That's around the time I saw this and RoboCop (the director's cut, which was rare at the time) as well.
The bit at the end when the bad guy falls in acid and gets hit by a car and explodes. Man, I'm still having therapy for that. :/
This, of all the things in the world, will make me cry every time I watch it.
the part when he picked up his pieces was the saddest but u cut that part out.
That's how sad this is
Ahhh... when he shouts "Please don't kill me!!!" I tear up every time.
Me hace llorar esta escena siempre 😭😭 marco mi infancia
"Wow. I haven't seen a robot take a beating like that since Hitchbot".
"Dude, that's not cool, you're going to get us in trouble again"
Man, even Oscar's goons didn't look like they wanted to do it.
I bet the robot wasn't cheap, the actors were just afraid that if they break him wrong or just have to redo the scene, they'll have it cut from wages lol
Because Buzzbomb True. Lol
Yeah cuz they both tried breaking into the building when J5 was there.
Jones (the guy with the crowbar) was all for it, but Saunders (the guy with the ax) didn’t want to but was forced by Oscar anyway
This scene traumatized me so bad lol
Now in my 40's I see how brilliant this was and the acting was terrific
Liek this if u cry evertim
I watched it today and i had tears again again. This scene is perfect, Johnny crying he's alive, those hits in slow-mo, this epic music starting with this plane flying, everything is breathtaking here
I always wanted to kick Oscars ass off
Well Johnny couldn't do that even if he wanted because he got no feet. Anyway, this is a sad scene in some respects, the guy who played Oscar really sounded like a villan when you heard him yell "Smash the dam thing!" All because he tricked Johnny into helping him rob the bank and knows that he is a witness that could idenitfy him, while Johnny is techinally guilty of breaking and entering, the fact he bought three crooks to justice and what he went through, I'm sure he was forgiven by the courts.
Darryl Ruiz I don't know - they arrested him so there's always the chance of hi. being savagely beaten by thugs in prison.
Dammit, this makes me cry all the time. Johnny Five was naive, sweet, innocent and goodhearted robot and did not deserve this at all.
He jus wants some input and some friends. :(
can't believe this was in a KIDS MOVIE!
fpshooterful we were tougher in the 80's ;)
@@aetherflow Exactly
Interior Crocodile alligator 🐊 I drive a Chevrolet movie theater! (Chip the ripper)
The reason why he shouldn't have removed his laser weapon.
I always cried because I loved Johnny 5 as a child and still do :(
Damn I hated this scene, as a child too. It's a shame that's how human beings truly are.
Ah yes ! Most heart breaking moment of my childhood...
Now that my friends is robot abuse.
According to the movies lore its technically murder lol
Both murder and robot abuse at the same time.
When I was a kid I cried. When I'm an adult I still cry.
