In the cheesy 1986 comedy "Short Circuit," Johnny 5 is a military robot that develops a mind of its own, emotions, and a penchant for wisecracking one-liners. The film, starring Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg, was immensely popular, and Johnny returned in a 1988 sequel. A reboot is, of course, in the works, directed by Tim Hill.
