Review of the retro film "Short circuit 2"(1988)

Welcome, dear readers!

I mentioned in a previous review that I often find my favorite retro movies on the Internet when I'm sad.

One of them is the second part of the film "Short circuit", created by American filmmakers for family viewing in the genre of Comedy fiction and drama. Its world premiere took place on July 6, 1988. This film did not appear in the Russian wide box office, but it can be found on the Internet on sites that provide online movie viewing services.

The Director of the film changed. Here, the parade is directed by Kenneth Johnson, but the writers remain the same-this is Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson.

Of the former actors, only Fisher Stevens plays the main role here, the rest are newly recruited cast members. These are Michael McKean, Cynthia Gibb, Tim Blaney, Jack Weston, and others. All of them coped perfectly with the task set for them - they were quite convincing.

The roles were dubbed into Russian by Vyacheslav Baranov, Vladimir Konkin, Olga Golovanova, Alexander Ryzhkov and Mikhail Lebedev. I would like to say that they also did a good job. The only question - and then, rather, the translators of the first film: why did the character of Fisher Stevens in the second part suddenly start speaking with an accent, when in the first part of the film the accent was not traced? On the one hand, these are small things, but on the other... it turned out to be quite a noticeable miss.

But I will go directly to the description of my feelings from watching this film. It also seemed to me a masterpiece of world cinema, which it has been for more than twenty years. I watched it more than once, and each time I got great pleasure from watching it. There are also almost no special effects and no computer graphics, and the film itself seems alive, as well as the stunning and charming robot johnny the fifth!

If we talk briefly about the plot of the film, the inventor-designer of the robot Ben Jarvey returns to the States and wants to get American citizenship. To have at least some means of existence, he makes toy robots like johnny 5 and tries to implement them. He was lucky to get a large order, in which he is assisted by assistants. One of them is the robot. There are so many adventures in this film that you do not have to be bored. Even here, johnny shows a lot of ingenuity and curiosity that almost cost him his life. But he, as always, not only finds a way out of any trouble, but also becomes a real national hero who has detained dangerous criminals.
