Short Circuit 2 is a 1988 American science fiction comedy film, the sequel to the 1986 film Short Circuit. It was directed by Kenneth Johnson (in his directorial debut) and starred Fisher Stevens as Ben Jahrvi, Michael McKean as Fred Ritter, Cynthia Gibb as Sandy Banatoni, and Tim Blaney as the voice of Johnny 5 (the main character – a friendly, naive, self-aware robot). The film received mixed reviews from critics and was not as financially successful as its predecessor, grossing only $21 million on a $15 million budget.

Plot

[edit]

After resigning from Nova Robotics after the events of the first movie, Benjamin Jahrvi (né Jabituya) starts up his own business, "Titanic Toy Corporation", which specializes in making sophisticated toy robots that he builds by hand from the back of his truck. For two days, Ben has been in an unspecified U.S. metropolis peddling his toy robots on the street corners. One robot wanders away from his stand and ends up in the office of Sandy Banatoni, an assistant buyer for Simpsons' toy department. Sandy tracks Ben down and orders 1,000 of his toys. Overhearing this offer is con artist Fred Ritter, who smooth-talks his way into brokering the transaction between Ben and Sandy, becoming Ben's business partner in the deal, and later acquires the funding Ben needs from a loan shark.

Ben and Fred hire some workers and move into a derelict warehouse which, unknown to them, is the base of operations for thieves who are tunneling into a bank vault across the street to steal a set of jewels known as the Vanderveer Collection. The thieves (Saunders and Jones) assault Ben and Fred and destroy their equipment, causing the new workers to flee and preventing them from completing Sandy's order. However, Ben's friends Stephanie Speck and Newton Crosby have sent Johnny 5, a robot who became sentient after being struck by lightning whom Ben helped to create. When Saunders and Jones return, Johnny fends them off, then sets up self-defense mechanisms should they try to break in again. Johnny sets to work mass-producing the toys to meet Sandy's deadline but later leaves to explore the city. He runs afoul of many people, who are rude and unfriendly to him. He befriends one man, Oscar Baldwin, who works at the bank across the street from Ben and Fred's warehouse.

Fred, having learned that Johnny is worth $11 million, tries to sell him. Discovering this, Johnny escapes into the city, is taken into police custody, and is placed in the stolen goods warehouse, where he is claimed by Ben. Johnny uses his robotic abilities to help Ben court Sandy.

It is revealed that Oscar is the mastermind of the heist with Saunders and Jones under his employ. With time running out before the Vanderveer Collection is moved from the bank, Oscar has Saunders and Jones lock Ben and Fred in the freezer of a Chinese restaurant, while he tricks Johnny into finishing the tunnel leading to the vault. Ben and Fred get Sandy to save them, using touch tone-esque renditions of songs that Ben learned on his date with her as clues to their location. Discovering the Vanderveer Collection and Oscar's true intentions, Johnny is severely damaged by Saunders and Jones per Oscar’s orders. As Ben, Fred and Sandy return to the warehouse, the police arrest Ben and Sandy as suspects in the bank vault break-in. Fred eludes capture and later finds the disheveled Johnny in an alley and informs him of Ben's arrest.

Fred attempts to repair Johnny by breaking into a Radio Shack and following Johnny's guidance, but with limited success. Ben and Sandy are cleared of any charges for the break-in and persuade the police to help locate Johnny. An enraged Johnny vows revenge for Oscar’s betrayal, and with Fred’s help, tracks down Oscar and his accomplices. Saunders and Jones are caught by Fred and Johnny and later arrested. However, Oscar attacks Fred and attempts to flee on a boat. Johnny gives chase and, as his backup battery dwindles, uses a crane to swing Tarzan-style to capture Oscar, who is then apprehended by police. Ben, Fred, and Sandy arrive and tend to an exhausted Johnny while the last of his power supply depletes, and he seemingly "dies". Ben revives Johnny with a defibrillator.

Johnny is fully repaired and becomes a celebrity, while Ben, Fred, and Sandy start a new company called "Input Inc." with Johnny as its mascot. Johnny and Ben later take the Oath of Allegiance to become United States citizens. After the ceremony, when questioned by reporters about his thoughts on becoming the country's first robotic citizen, a gold-plated Johnny leaps into the air and exclaims "I feel alive!"

Production

[edit]

Short Circuit 2 had initially been developed with original film's director John Badham, but Badham dropped out in order to do Stakeout,[3] and was replaced by Kenneth Johnson, best known as the creator/producer of the 1970s TV series' The Bionic Woman, The Incredible Hulk as well as the science fiction franchise V.

Principal photography of the film took place between September 13 and December 1987 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Despite the film taking place in an American metropolis, much of the shots throughout the film featured prominent downtown Toronto landmarks.[4][5] Five robots were used for filming the "Johnny 5" character. Reported complications arose with their hydraulic and electrical systems due to rainy and cold weather during production.[1] The film's budget was reportedly $15 million.[1]

The movie was originally titled Short Circuit 2: More Input, as seen on much of the promotional material.[6]

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

Short Circuit 2 received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 43% based on reviews from 14 critics, with an average rating of 4.6/10.[7] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave it a grade A−.[8]

Vincent Canby, writing in The New York Times, gave Short Circuit 2 a negative review. He wrote: "For anyone over the age of 6, the film is as much fun as wearing wet sneakers".[9] Rita Kempley, for The Washington Post, gave it a mixed review (6/10) saying: "Short Circuit 2 is unabashedly mawkish and sophomoric, and the actors support the technology. But if you're a kid, or an adult with an Erector Set, you might just enjoy this summer-weight caper".[10] Most of the positive reviews were accepting of the film's flaws. Variety added: "Mild and meek, Short Circuit 2 has an uncomplicated sweetness as a successful follow-up to the original robot kiddie comedy".[11]

Siskel & Ebert, having disliked the first film, gave Short Circuit 2 "two thumbs up". Roger Ebert said the movie "will probably seem better the younger you are" but that it was "pleasant" and "entertaining". Gene Siskel called it "better than the original", said the dialogue made him "laugh out loud" and argued that "the movie works" because he "felt bad" when the robot was being attacked.[12] A review in the Los Angeles Times noted that "Wilson and Maddock have improved considerably here. They're just as derivative and glib, but more thoughtful. Their construction is more deft, their dialogue is better, and they make Number Five come more alive."[13]

Box office

At the box office, Short Circuit 2 placed 7th on its first weekend making $3,843,067. It finished with $21,630,088, down almost half from what the first Short Circuit film made. It ranked 45th at the U.S. box office in 1988.[14]

Production

Development

Following the commercial success of the 1986 film , which grossed $40.7 million against a $15 million budget, producers and initiated development on a . The project was greenlit by , with an initial budget set at $15 million, reflecting the studio's confidence in expanding the franchise centered on the sentient robot Number 5, later known as Johnny 5. The screenplay was penned by and , the same writers behind the original, who shifted the tone toward broader comedy while emphasizing themes of Johnny 5's pursuit of U.S. and his integration into human society. This narrative evolution incorporated heist-like elements, positioning Johnny 5 as a more independent protagonist without relying on key characters from , such as those played by and , whom producers approached early but who ultimately declined to return—Guttenberg specifically citing the lack of a completed script. Original director did not return, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts with other projects, leading to the hiring of Kenneth Johnson, known for his work on television like V. Johnson's selection aligned with the film's aim to maintain a appeal, though early scripting included edgier concepts that were revised to suit a broader audience. For the robot's design, production utilized early and storyboards to refine Johnny 5's , building on the original's practical effects while adapting for urban comedic sequences. Casting decisions emphasized continuity with Fisher Stevens reprising his role as Ben Jabituya, the Indian-American inventor—a portrayal originating from the first film that later drew significant criticism for cultural insensitivity and reliance on ethnic stereotypes, with Stevens himself expressing regret over the brownface portrayal in subsequent interviews. The development phase thus balanced franchise expansion with creative risks, ultimately prioritizing accessible humor and robot-centric spectacle to appeal to younger viewers.

Additional puppeteers, such as Rob, Gord, and Trish, contributed to the realism, allowing Johnny 5 to interact dynamically with actors in real time; director Kenneth Johnson noted that their skills made the robot so lifelike that set visitors often engaged directly with the puppet, overlooking the operators. Challenges arose with the animatronic's mobility, particularly during outdoor shoots, where mechanical malfunctions occasionally occurred—such as Johnny 5's base freezing mid-scene—prompting on-the-fly improvisations by the crew to incorporate the mishaps into the narrative, maintaining the character's in-character frustration. Set construction emphasized practical effects for the film's action elements, including a custom-built interior for the fictional exhibit used in the heist sequences, where the aids in retrieving a stolen microchip. Chase scenes and explosions relied on physical stunts and rather than extensive effects, aligning with the era's emphasis on tangible .

Improvisations were common, particularly with actor Michael McKean's portrayal of the scheming Fred Ritter, allowing for spontaneous dialogue that enhanced comedic timing during interactions with Johnny 5. Cinematographer John McPherson captured the visuals using 35mm film, employing dynamic camera work to highlight the robot's movements and the urban environment. Johnson later reflected on the emotional impact of wrapping , describing a sense of loss akin to farewelling a collaborative "friend" in Johnny 5.
