when a bolt of lightning zaps the robot and brings him to life.
Escaping from its home at Nova Robotics, the "living" robot encounters Stephanie
Speck. She and Number Five form a loving friendship. But they have to
keep outsmarting Crosby. Nova's trigger-happy security chief is also determined to get the robot
.
FACTS:
They built twenty J5, doubles, stunt robots, shoot em up robots and spares " and the real
jonny five is not worth 11 million , (only ) 1.2 million .
The guy who built him, is named Eric Allard.
He owns a company called all effects inc. they
built all of the j5's for short circuit 1 and 2 , and they did other things
like built the suits for the teenage mutant ninja turtles movies , and they
also built the little pink enegizer bunny. Eric got his start by building a smalll robot named PAL
for a japanese expo , it was that robot the producers from Short
Circuit saw in the screening when they were looking for someone to build
the robot. Jonny five was built in a little over
three months, he required 9 roboteers to
operate "I'm Not sure why , i guess 1 for gross motor movements , 1 for
each arm 1 For the head , one for the eyes , and .... By the time the second movie was made , Eric and his crew
"some 70 people " had created a telemetry control suit , which was kind of
like a metal backpack with two arms on it , the main roboteer "they needed
only three for the second movie" wore this telemetry suit , and sat on
something somewhat like a modified "actually it was a modified " swivel
base office chair , this allowed one robot to control both arms , and the
waist ..... then 1 other person was assigned the job of facial expression ,
and another got the job of gross motor control "rolling around.
