Today in the on-going series of movies that changed my life, Short Circuit 2.
Short Circuit 2 is the story of a east indian inventor named Ben. Ben is cool because he made a robot named Johnny 5 in the first movie and it had guns and missles that maimed and hurt people. Ben takes a turn for the gay in the movie when he portrays a struggling inventor who sells mini robots on a street corner. He's approached by some big white guy con man who says they can make money together on robots. The two go in together on a business only to have the biggest surprise of their lives. The hippies from the first movie sent the robot to help Ben, the robot was mailed in a giant crate. This changed my life because I realized that I too could mail giant robots in crates without being questioned.
The robot is named Johnny Five and he is stupid. Not stupid in the intelligence respect, just stupid in that he sounds gay and is wearing a scarf when he gets out of the crate. Somewhere throughout the course of this shit festival, a fat guy named Oscar comes into the picture and tries to rob a bank with the help of Johnny Five. Johnny thinks he made a friend so he helps Oscar only to get his shit rearranged by Oscar and his goons later in the movie. The best scene in the movie is seeing Johnny Five getting the Rodney King style beating in downtown New York without having anyone stop to help him. Johnny gets his ass kicked and is bleeding battery fluid shit and has one eyes fucked up and broken. Johnny gets repaired by Ben's white friend after he escapes from the Chinese food restaurant freezer (Happened somewhere between the beginning and end). Johnny tracks down Oscar, beats up his goons then takes Oscar out by swinging from a crane and tackling him into a pile of wood. Johnny then becomes gold plated and the movie ends in classic 'WTF' fashion.
What I learned from this movie :
Robots can and will kick your ass.
If you somehow manage to beat up a robot, it will come back to kick your ass and it will have a mohawk.
Anyone can rebuild a complicated robot with a heat gun and parts found at Radio Shack.
If you spend three hours in a walk in freezer, you will become coated head to toe in frost.
Robots can become citizens of the USA as long as they beat up criminals.
Gold plating a robot takes only ten minutes.
Tomorrow in the series of movies that changed my life : Adventures In Babysitting.

This was great, but damn it you had better treat "Adventures in Babysitting" with the respect it deserves. I've got a big ol' -2 ready if you even look at that movie wrong.

"This changed my life because I realized that I too could mail giant robots in crates without being questioned."
And honestly, with this great power granted to us by some constitution, how many of us actually use it? For shame, for shame!

Oh god I love that movie. I think I still have it recorded on VHS. When I was younger I tried to build a Johnny 5 with parts around the house, but it ended up looking like R2D2 dammit. Can't wait until your Adventures in Babysitting post. That movie rules as well.

When I was a kid, I loved those movies. If I watched them now I would probably consider them piles of suck.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention how pissed I was when I found out that "Ben" wasn't actually an A-rab.

How can you have a Short Circuit 2 post without mentioning:
A)
los locos kick ass
los locos kick your face
los locos kick you balls into outerspace.
or
b)
Doo-wah diddy.

I love this series. I'm not sure which is funnier, "Ben is cool because he made a robot named Johnny 5 in the first movie and it had guns and missles that maimed and hurt people." or "This changed my life because I realized that I too could mail giant robots in crates without being questioned."
Yo' mamma was a snowblower!

Short Circuit was crap too with the exception of the Three Stooges part and even that was only funny by association.
