I was so excited to see William Gibson come to the screen that I probably didn't want to admit to myself for years what a let down it was. You can say that studios had exploited cyberpunk, for me it felt like they had barely scratched the surface of cyberpunk's possibilities, To me the only truly perfect cyberpunk was the original Ghost in the Shell. Johnny Mnemonic was just what we had to get by on until The Matrix came out. Still, the VHS case remains the coolest packaging ever for VHS.

I watched it three times in three days on its first release. I love it.

I love Jonny mnemonic too. Thanks guys

One of my favorite movies off all time. I was too ahead of its time.

If external flash drives were invented earlier, Johnny wont have to worry about his memory

I still like it as a cheesy, guilty pleasure 90s movie, lol. I was born in '88 so I experienced all of the 90s and get nostalgic for it sometimes. This is like a perfect encapsulation of the 90s, lol ;)

Eh, _Johnny Mnemonic_ is something of a guilty pleasure for mee, mostly because of Lungdren and Takeshi's characters. Its fun enough to help forget how dumb it is. In all seriousness though, I would like to see _Neuromancer_ and especially _Snow Crash_ adapted into (good) films.

I loved this movie. Still one of my fav Keanu Reeves roles, followed close by his role in Freaks.

I saw this film about a year before release, several unfinished scenes, some "Insert Scene Here"'s, and still showing blue screens waiting for inserts, I loved it. I spent the next year telling friends about it and then had to apologize as the finished film was barely the same as what I had seen. Turns out that the Focus Groups and the studio were followed completely, always a bad idea, and the production team split and never worked together again over this film. The Japanese edit of the film, available on torrents, is quite better than the US, world release and is closer to my original screening. Have fun!

Could you do a “What’s the Difference” on The Odyssey and the 2006 film Penelope? Sure, O Brother Where Art Thou is an interesting adaptation by the Coen Brothers, but I’ve never wanted anything so much as discussions on how a fantastical fairytale-esque romcom retells Homer’s epic in fascinating new ways, where the heroine is Odysseus, Telemachus, and Penelope rolled into one & reinterpreted. Instead of the wandering man’s journey home, it is the constrained female journeying afar; instead of the son’s coming of age by rebuking his mother and asserting himself as master of the household, it is a daughter escaping from the well meaning oppression of hers and finding independence outside. The suitors after a dowry, the sorceress’s pig curse, the blinded “cyclops”, the adventures framed in that the most fantastical parts are being told by the “hero/heroine” him/herself to a credulous audience (royal court/kindergarten class), et cetera. I think it’s fascinating, at any rate

I love these! If you guys could do the Poseidon adventure vs it’s 1972 counterpart that would be amazing! Keep up the amazing vids- Z

There's actually a pretty decent novelization of Gibson's Johnny Mnemonic short story by Terry Bisson that Gibson contributed to. It fills a lot of plot holes in the movie, and sort of spells out the movie that Longo could have and should have made.

Love the connection to Neuromancer, which is obv. the best, sorry, my favorite cyberpunk-book ... ever.

Recently rewatched it, still an underrated Sci-Fi film

A cult classic. The effects in this movie is old, but the concept and story is on point.

This movie was actually a fun movie and It's crazy that Keanu Reeves was made for this Cyberpunk distopyian genre. That Yakuza boss was in MXC or known as Takashi's castle in Japan (I believe that's how it's spelled). He was also in that anime live action adaption movie with Scarlett Johanson. Man 320 GB in the 90s is like 100 TB in today's standards. 1 ps1 memory card was 1 MB so thats 320,000 of them in a 320GB hard drive!!!

I actually liked this movie, it was probably the gateway to my love for all things cyberpunk.

According to Gibson himself, (who actually did some work on the script) the character of Molly was included in the film rights to the movie version of Neuromancer (which will never be made) and so they had to replace her character with a another female bodyguard character for this film.

I can carry nearly eighty gigs of data in my head.

We haven't got a Neuromancer film yet. So this film is like the never made Neuromancer one.

Johnny Mnemonic is one of the best Cyberpunk movies ever 💯

I saw it in the theater! Of course, the biggest change this movie made is taking it from the late 20th century Sprawl to the year 2021. Oddly, while the short story took place in the same universe as his Sprawl trilogy, the movie take place in the same universe as his Bridge trilogy. There was a single line in one of those books where a character talks about NAS having taken place sometime in the past.

Why is this 13% on Rotten Tomatoes? I remember renting the movie in the 90s and loving it.

I love this movie

I saw this in the theater when I was a kid. Love it.

Such an underrated film, and an interesting one. I originally watched this in the January of 2021 again, as the film, and the original story takes place at that time. Real amazing, how they thought about how 2021 would be, and I guess they got something right, and I would say it would be the "Pandemic/Sickness". But in all honesty, a very interesting film, with a great cast especially with Ice T, and a young Keanu. Overall, great storyline, characters, and soundtrack added to it. It's worth watching, but you'd find how "interesting" this movie really is, literally. Kind of hard to describe this film, but as said it deserves its credit especially for a 1995 film, and worth a watch.
