    I loved this movie as a kid but oh my god please nobody watch it today. It's BAD folks.

    I like the robot with scary lazors though he's okay. I guess.

        There are other not great things but that's the big one, and it's pretty huge. Yes let's cast a white guy, paint him brown, and make him act like a stereotypical Indian guy. Massive oof.

          It's a shame because I love the character of Johnny 5, and it was one of my earliest exposures to the notion of treating a non-human like a person, just the same as anyone else

          (I guess that includes being racist to him in the sequel)
