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.

The part where Johnny reaches for his missing arm and his fingers flinch slightly because of the phantom pain he feels was really a striking moment.

Man... me and my little brother watched the shit out of Short Circuit 2 as kids. So much so that I got him the DVD as a birthday present a few years back. (It was in the $3 bin, but so what?) "WE NEED A HERO!!!"

I kind of wish Critic would do more two in one reviews. Makes this episode stand out more, though.

James Bot = No need for further prequels, the varying actors plot hole solved, new creative gadgets, new storylines and movies that take the character further, a crapton of cash.

The scene of Johnny 5 getting the crap kicked out of him was friggen brutal!

Just realized Fred in Short Circuit 2 is also Charles McGill in Better Call Saul. No wonder he became allergic to electromagnetism.

The second movie is the best, NO CGI REMAKE

The girl playing Stephanie is Ally Sheedy from The Breakfast Club

Johnny's Sad moments still get me for some reason. Maybe cause it's a childhood memory, but it always fucks me over

Oh my god, I still got teary-eyed at that beat-up scene, I mean holy shit. I actually got angry at the Critic for making fun of it in the beginning, hot damn! Johnny-5 was the cutest, most badass thing I've seen back then, I remember I didn't just want those guys captured, I wanted them dead. I guess a point could be made, that the robot had a higher moral standing, and taught me a valuable lesson about revenge.

Personally, i find the first Short Circuit film to be one of Gutenbergs better films.

I love these movies I hope that reboot there making is cancelled because I don't want the guy who made Alvin and the chipmunks(2007) To make short circuit or how about this a great idea make an actual part 3 with the original people if you don't then don't make movie at all.

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.

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.

This is one of those times where the NC talks shit, and comes off as an asshole.

i loved short circuit! i didn't know they made a second one, though.

These movies were the coolest, funniest shit ever as a young kid in the eighties. Watching it was like, the same feeling as a pizza party at the roller rink.

Boy that escalated quickly.

what is the music playing when johnny 5 tries to get back up?

so many memories, this is the FIRST NC video i ever watched...

am i the only one who thinks that how he says "i feel alive!" at 26:28 is so funny because of how cheesy it is XD

When he falls out of the window, does he really scream high pitched "ahhhhhhhhhh"!

I don't know about anyone else but in Short Circut 2 at the part where he's chasing the bad guy while "I Need a Hero" is playing, was pretty epic to me. Even up until now, that scene still feels extremely well put together...

7:03: I laughed so hard at that... too!

I loved this move and STILL DO!

Wall-E's design was based off Johnny-5. They are also making what I'm going to call a remake despite the fact that it doesn't share the same name. It comes out next year.

23:28 dude,I'm not gonna lie,the image of Johnny 5 slowly dying made me cry when I was a kid and it still makes me cry until now,and I'm fucking 20

I remember I always liked these movies, even had some miniature-selfmade-lego-versions ... though only the battle-editions of course! he he ... that's also why I like the first one more: They still had their laser-cannons and blew shit up! 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?

*throws arms up in the air and makes a happy squealing noise*

I was actually holding a transformers toy that turns into a toaster while I was watching this. No joke

Johnny 5. Does this unit have a soul?. *Wiping away tear* Yes it does!

this is a good memory, the first one of nc i watched

Johnny 5 getting beat up and moving arround busted up has got to be one of the saddest scenes in cinema history. It's right up there with the death of Little Foot's mother.

Lighten up? Lighten UP!?!?!? Seriously though, it's that dour reality(to a robot's torture...), that gives us the satisfaction experience in his revenge.
