Short Circuit ( Trailer, US Theatrical )

  • Check out the Movie:
  • Short Circuit

Struck by lightning, an endearing little robot known only as "Number 5" escapes from an experimental electronics firm. Technician Steve Guttenberg and his indecipherable East Indian assistant Fisher Stevens set out to locate Number 5 before the military can go through with its plans to destroy the robot. Number 5 takes refuge with loopy Ally Sheedy, who is convinced that the mechanical man is an extraterrestrial. Hoping to teach the "alien" all about Earth, Ally fills Number 5's memory banks with reams of pop culture--and then the real fun begins. Short Circuit is so carefully contrived to push the right audience buttons that one is made to feel ungrateful if one doesn't laugh. This E.T. wannabe was popular enough to warrant a 1988 sequel, titled (brace yourself!) Short Circuit II. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    hollybaby21 said "I totally agree. Have you seen the episode in south park, where Bono is the the worlds biggest shit, literally? If not you should check it out it's hilarious. I love how he asks all us working class people to give our money, who struggle to get by, yet you never hear how much cash he gives. He's a total ass wipe."

  • guitar.dude|escape:'html}'
    On U2: Rattle and Hum...

    guitar.dude said "LOL@"politically involved quartet!" Yeah, wasting $40 million on a stage while every other African is dying is SO politically active. Bono is a hypocrite, a dickhead, an illiterate, stupid bully and a shameless fat lie. The other three are worthless as musicians and as human beings but at least they don't pretend to care about anyone or anything but money."
