(Ok, till I figure it out you might have to click on "Read More" to go to the review proper and access the clip that's supposed to be right here--apologies!
P.s-please do it! Otherwise the rest of this intro won't make sense. Lol. :P)
And the next question for those who still haven't a clue who Johnny is: what the heck did you jst waste 4 mins of your life on?
Answer: That's the music video of the then cult hit movie "Short Circuit" starring Steve Guttenburg (of the Police Academy series fame) and Ally Sheedy (of St Elmo's Fire fame)
Ah, that brings back memories...and images of everything traumatically uncool about the 80s. Here's of list of all the things that would be considered simply wrong today, and all in just this one single music video:
1. El Debarge-the freaky singer with the pervy looking smile.
2. Debarge's eighties hair.
3. His pencil thin moustache.
4. His oversized pinstripe suit.
5. Freaky courtroom scene that would make no sense to those who've never watched the movie..
6. Cardboard cut out of Steve Guttenburg, in black and white nonetheless...
7. Freaky-looking female lawyer.
8. VHS & VHS player
9. Crazy jury...oh wait, these still exist today...
10. Unintelligible lyrics which wouldn't make sense even if you knew what they were.
11. Passing off of a robot hand for a hiding robot (Johnny 5) as a movie special effect.
12. Crazy voice modulation being passed off as singing...
13. Courtroom dancing
14. Exploding judges
15. Firemen who put out exploding judges (judges who are not on fire, but just charred and smoking)
16. That strange piece of lack carboard at the end...wth???
So what the hell has all that have to do with this review? Well, R2-D2 is a robot (ok a droid, but it's the same thing...right? :P) and this particular figure can, well, short circuit.Yeah see, you didn't even have to read all the jibber-jabber up top to read this review on Star Wars Legacy Collection R2-D2 (with short circuit effect). But didn't watching the music video just make you feel like you could break the law and get away with it? It was wild, wasn't it? Yep, that's what we 80s kids used to do for fun...that and play with our toys, of course!
All right, no more vicarious law-breaking. On to the review!
