  • I won't lie. I cried over seeing this scene the first time when I was kid. It got even more sad seeing Five trying to drag himself up after that.

  • You know, for kids!

  • Why did they cut off his arm, whey did those bastards do that and that's my fav movie character

  • I was crying when I saw this

  • He was a west side robot that shouldn't have gone to the east

  • Even thou it not a kid movie...

  • Damn, I remember this traumatising me as a kid! Full on screaming and crying! How dare those bastards smash up Johnny 5!

  • lmao!!!! only in america can a robot get jumped by humans lol

  • You don't have a heart if you weren't shaken by this as a kid.

  • Man they went Rodney King on that poor robot...:(

  • that would be the most stupidest thing ever

  • Bear in mind the difference between a "G" rating and a "PG" rating ... if you don't want a movie with this level of violence then what you want is a "G" rated movie, not PG.  PG doesn't mean completely child friendly for every sensitive, young child, it's a rating level in between "G" and "PG-13."

  • my lil brother continues to be traumatized by this!!

  • THIS MADE MY CRY AS A KID :'(

    But he survived and turned GOLD!

  • @TwinVulcan Same same.

  • "IMMA LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!! *bash* "UUUUUUOAGH!!!!" lmao X) I'm sorry but that just made me giggle. lol

  • Watching this makes me root for the terminators.

  • I'm sorry this may sound callous but when I was a kid it made me feel terrible to see. I still think the thugs are monsters but now when i see the scene its hilarious. the way they slow it down so you can see everything. i guess i have a sick sense of humor,

  • As a child I had to be taken out of the theater crying. The unbelievable violence and cruelty of this scene still stuns me. That it is happening to a robot is of no moment to a child. To them, and to me at the time, it is a person, one being savagely beaten to death as they beg futilely for mercy.

  • This got a PG only because J5 was a robotic character. If it were any other living character this baby would get Adult-only viewing. How many child movies show the main (harmlessly annoying) character beg for his life as he's bashed almost to death? Good god this scene still makes me sad. And it's a freaking fictional robot!

  • cut out the best part. "airplane in the butt"

  • When I was little I cried during this scene.

  • truly the most childfriendly scene of all time.

  • im 27 for god saked and it still makes me wanna cry :*(

  • @joshuadiesel 15 years ago i saw this for the first time, it made me want to cry. Now i'm 23 and i still feel really sad when i watch this.

  • this disturbed the shit out of me back then... =l

  • habla español ??? xD! 

  • Good lord, I'm glad I only saw this movie on the movie channels. They CUT this scene for TV?? Wha??? How can you get rid of something this powerful?

  • I love how Johnny 5 was built up as a friendly robot for little kids, then is practically mortally wounded as he begs for his life, getting his eye bashed out and squirting battery fluid. Why?

  • This traumatized me as a kid

  • yo era un niño en una sala de cine inmensa, y comencé a llorar, fué la primera vez que lloré en cine, recuerdo mucho la tristeza que me dió

  • I was crying when I saw that as a kid

  • OMG!!! This is the worst and saddest scene I have ever seen in a movie!!!! [:''O

  • Whyyy would you beat up a poor, defenseless robot? Boooo :(

  • @trainman238 Because they're heartless assholes! T_T God, if only I was in this film and it wasn't PG-13, I'd just shoot them fuckers. X(

  • Finally someone shut him up lol

  • i am 20 and to crying face

  • they should've took a leak on him too

  • A plane itself wouldn't be enough to make them retreat, they can't be so careless and stupid, to leave their work unfinished etc.

  • That wasn't even the whole beating XDD

  • This still makes me cry. I'm now 20.

  • anyone know the title of the tune that plays when short is lying on the floor ...?.. is beautiful and I love to know ..

    Gacias.

  • Damn it Johnny 5! If only you kept your shoulder laser!!!!

  • I'm 21 and I still wanna cry when I see this.

  • LMFAO i laughed so hard at this scene, its sad, but made me lol

  • i cried

  • Remember crying at this as a kid. I also remember wanting a real Johnny 5 as well! :D

  • i acutlay dont remember thise scene to will but looking at it now this is fucking sick

  • SOMEONE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO EDIT THE GETO BOYS 'STILL'(OFFICE SPACE PRINTER BEATING SONG) OVER THIS SHIT NOW!!!

  • Lmao..

  • NOOO!!!

  • wow Oscar such an ASSHOLE.

  • This STILL makes me upset! I'm bloody 23!

  • I just picked this up for 8 bucks the other day.. part of my childhood.

  • omg i'm about to cry. i loved this movie when i was a kid. POOR JOHNNY!! stop! he's alive! DO NOT DISASSEMBLE!!

  • so sad and scary. sniff

    but the best part is after j5 kicks some serious ass!!

  • This what gets me. J5 easily man umm BOThandles Nova personal, the military and yes other robots (1,2, and 3,) with little damage yet in this one even upgraded memory to 500mb online, easily gets taken advantage of and being mangled by mere jewel thieves.

  • @Cliffda3rd My only guess is that aside from having his laser removed and replaced with the tool box, he just didn't want to hurt them. He considered that Oscar dude a friend at first.

  • What are you talking about? It's got a PG rating. This is totally a kids movie: I watched it when I was a kid. I loved it then and I love it now. What kind of parent would let their kids watch this? My parents. The kind of parents that don't raise a pussy, pampered little whiney bitch.

    Sorry if you're offended.

  • @basscom1

    Evidently, your parents raised a whiny child that cannot handle criticism of shows you liked, lacks basic human empathy, and needs to pretend to be somehow "superior" to other people who show one of the most important parts of human nature: Compassion.

    I feel sorry for you.

  • @basscom1 Couldn't be said better, my friend. This scene only makes the final chase all the sweeter as you see Johnny 5 unleash vengeance.

  • guys you got to understand its not a groosem scene or disgusting, its just a SAD one thats why its PG i think its fine rated pg

  • to the maker of this video -

    WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN AT?!?!?!

    1) this is not a kids movie

    2) what kind of parents would let there kids watch this

    3) ITS M RATED FOR FUCKS SAKE!!

    ok rudeness over - soz if your offended

  • Johnny 5 is awesome.

    But I've just realized how much South Parks' Stan Marsh sounds like him...

  • I remember this shit, I'm 29 now this came out when I was a kid lol

  • I'd forgot how horrible that seen was.

    Love the bit in Radio Shack though, and I see somebody has posted that. :)

  • too sad : (

  • this part is so sad ........ my youngest son is crying and crying

  • this part of the movie was really sad to me when i was younger.

  • Comment removed

  • lol for some reason i remember this beating being a lot worse when i was a kid...

    i guess ive been desensitized lol

  • This used to scare the hell out of me as a kid. I couldn't watch it, up until a few months ago. Pretty sad huh?

  • yea man look at the face of the guy with theaxe he was getting sad to he diddint wanna do it to but jhon madden is there saying hit him

  • I hated watching this part. I used to cry so much.

  • i know how u feel :(

    to the poster: you sure? cos' i was only able to see this film on tv when i was a kid and remember the bashing scene was still kept in :/

  • im speaking gay-anese wat r u on about lolz

  • OK. you know what, that's just COLD, dude.

  • agani, you're COLD, dude.

  • Fail troll is fail.

  • Now this made me cry. I always left my VHS at the end of the movie where he's gold and happy. I can't bring myself to rewind the tape. If I do, he gets smashed all over again.

  • I love that.

  • I don't remember anything from the sequel, but the first one, I remember watching it all the time as a kid.

  • LOL haha i got well upset watching this as a kid, same with in My Girl when the kid dies from getting stung from too many wasps........LOL Johnny 5 noooooooooo!!!!!!

  • It...BLEEDS???

  • Apparently battery fluid is the same color as blood. Who knew? ;D

  • @Koopa429 well.... NUMBER 5 IS ALIVE

  • LOL originally this made me cry but now im laughjng my ass off

  • You know, for kids!

  • that's a painful blow to manys' childhoods.

    i found it a little disheartening myself :(

    i'm sad...

    NOSTALGIA CRITIC IS AWESOME

  • I saw this when i was about 7 years old, fucking horrible.

  • Oh fuck....

    The nostalgia...

  • This made me cry...

    ...from hysterical laughter!!! (The dramatic music just added to lol)

    This is definitely for kids. Should've left that uncut. :D

  • Good grief. This is really hard to watch.

  • I came to see this after watching Nostalgia Critic.

    anyone else?

  • I did lol

  • me too!

  • me too i thought it was sad as a kid but after seeing it from the nostalgia critic it made me laugh my ass off

  • @Stonewall3000 watched it way before the Critic but loved the review too

  • I saw this movie when I was only six, it scared me and made me cry. Even predator didn't scare me like this did back then.

  • Simply barbaric. I couldn't imagine being a child and seeing this!

  • I was a kid when I saw this & I can't even see it without thinking it's too intense, by the by I'm pushing 30!

  • this was the only scene that ever made me cry.

  • assholes... no disassemble Johnny 5!?!?!?!

  • i see this part when i was 12 and today

    when im 24 this scene still perturbing my mind...

  • This part is sad, but I lost it when he's in the alley with the stolen car battery attached to himself and he can't speak. All he can do is write on the wall to Fred that he's dying and needs help.

  • It was nice to see J5 control those airplanes to stop the beating. Felt bad for sanders since he was sprayed with battery fluid. You could tell he did not want to take part in this beating.

  • XD stop I lol'd so hard! and how come the robot bleeds?

  • Johnny 5's blood is battery fluid.

  • shit is disturbing

    DON'T KILLLL MEEEEEEEE

  • i still get chills to this day

  • this and atreyus horse dying in neverending story both made me ball my eyes out when i was a kid,. still get emotional when i see this

  • Poor johnny 5!! it was ok though cos after this he rebuilt himself into somekind of punk, badass robot with a mohawk

  • he spoke like rambo

  • nice closure point

  • this part disturbed me when i was young.

  • Me too !

  • @BenHabitatFolds /agree

  • its a upsetting part

  • Yeah "Parlez vous français ?" Johnny rocks when he speak my langage ! ^^

    Poor Johnny ! It was violent.

    But i love his new style with only one "eye". It's give him a "bad" side and he's more cool !

    J5 we love you !

  • OH mY GOo0oo0oooooDD N0ooo00ooO0O0ooo JOhnyyyyy

  • I didnt cry I was scared of this scene when I was little. I had to go upstairs or something to hide from it..

  • sniff this made me cry when i was little

  • Me too! I loved this film when I was a kid, I used to pretend I was ill to have the day off school then watch Short Circuit!

  • granted, i know its a kids movie. but, that part where johnny 5 and michael mckean break into radio shack to fix johnny five, i think instead of playing the hero song, they should have played some pantera. like mouth for war or 25 years or something. i so love the 2 short circuit movies.

  • I hated this scene as a kid lol i always hit "Fast Forward"

    Then whenever someone else watched it with me i HAD to watch it and i cried

    :D :D :D love johnny 5!!!

  • I only ever saw the tv cut of this until two years ago when I got the DVD...this scene was cut and when I watched the DVD I was kind of shocked...it's pretty brutal for a kid's film (even if it's only a robot's death)...yet at the same time there's something funny about Oscar carrying on with "KILL IT, KILL IT, DON'T YOU GET IT?! IT'S A WITNESS!!"

  • This scene really bothered me when I was a kid - but that didnt bother me as much as the fact that I couldnt stop watching it!

    YOU FUCKED ME UP JOHNNY 5!!!

  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo

  • I think this scene is scary for kids,i remember being scared by it when i was a kid.I'm still disturbed by it now.

  • well, kids nowdays doesnt scare with anything, dont think im an oldie but, if some kid saw in the streets i dont know chucky, or even osama bin laden, well, i think the kid will just say f+ck off and kick their balls, men what do make the nowdays children look at TV XP

  • i still cry when i see this part and im not afraid to admit it. i love this movie, Johnny 5 Rocks!!!!!

  • Me too! I used to fast forward this part because I couldn't stand to see him be attacked.

  • I was balling when I saw this scene when I was like 6.

  • they had a sneak attack on johnny 5

  • If I see a robot on the street I instantly assume it's out for world domination and it gets smashed just like this fella.

  • I love this movie but I hate this part. I cryed so hard everytime I watched it at my home. O God I really cry, I almost can't see this scene again, but I needed to superate this trauma. I still love wen he gets fixed That mowhawk was so funny! Love Johnny 5!

  • i was about to cry like a bitch when i first saw this =[....i lvoe this movie..thye better not try remaking this cause if they did i know theyll fuck it up

  • This really hurt to watch as a kid... seeing it again dusts off that same feeling... It's like when they dumped Herbie off the boat in "Herbie Goes Bananas"... same thing.

  • Jeeze, I balled my eyes out whe I first say this at like 5 years old.

    still sad. but you can't keep badass robot like him down.

    thanks for posting

  • NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! you leave him alone!!!

  • this is the must messed up part

  • hay i like number 5 and i cry for him. me and my computer Dan are not happy. robot or not he is still good

  • OK I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who really didn't like this scene. I was little when it was out and was a huge Short Circuit fan but HATED seeing this scene, especially when they bash his eye in. When you're little it can be scary.

  • It STILL can be scary! I can't watch at 30 years old. I can watch most any violence, but usually it is to a movie star and you know it is a fake. This looks too real, you care for J5, and it looks so savage.

  • This is ridiculously disturbing.

  • I was born in 1980, and when I was a kid, this scene was unbearable to watch. Now that I'm 27, it almost has the same affect on me. It's still really hard to watch. I love Johnny 5.

  • nice to see how the lithium argon in his battery can serve as blood splattering...NOT...ITS JUST FRIGGIN CRUEL!!!!!

  • I can't stand to watch this sometimes cuz it's so heartbreaking........Johnny 5 is the best, why wreck him? he doesn't deserve that.

  • this scene is sooo sad...

  • This movie came out a year before I was born. I remember seeing it on TV when I was little, though... but I think this scene was cut when I saw it. I remember being confused when the characters were talking about him bleeding to death later on.

    I watched this movie for the first time since then today on On Demand, and almost every scene was familiar to me except for this one. I would've probably cried had I seen it back then. I didn't when I saw it today, but it was still upsetting...

  • i hated this scene :(

  • Me too! I was a kid when I watched that movie for the 1st time. I cried, lol

  • That was fucking violent!!!

  • lol

  • !? Nooo! J5 is real ive met him b4!! Seriously though, its not like they were gonna throw a $1,000,000 plus robot around and just break it! lol. But u cant really tell but i get ya point. :)

  • Had the movie on Video as a lil kid.

    Fast Forwarded over this bit. All. The. Time. Just got me too... *shudders*

  • Why was he programmed to feel pain?

  • they didnt program him to feel anything at first. when he was struck by lightning he became aware of his surroundings and it was stephanie that taught him the meaning of death. he went from destructive automaton to peaceful android

  • but pain is a phisical response not an imotion he would need all kinds of extra sensors etc. in order to feel pain...

  • well ya got me there...somehow that strike to his sensors gave him some kind of awareness and real human emotion

  • movie magic and or writer's license

  • Very true but Pain is also a physiological response. Know that you are being hurt/damaged even if you can't feel it will still bring pain but not by the way of the nervous system.

  • Who know if he doesnt have a type of CNS? Maybe the prptotype had something of the kind already built into it 4 certain/different reasons and when J5 got struck the censors somehow developed the ability to feel? Who knows... all i know is i love this movie and hate it when he gets smashed up!! :(

  • Wow, R.O.B. I can't wait to play as you

  • i can't wait either!
