[edit]

Synopsis: Number 5 (now Johnny Five) helps out a friend both professionally and romantically.

Reaction: A few good moments here and there, but at least this isn't just a re-tread of the original storyline.

Personal Rating: 7/10

Random Trivia For This Title:

Factual error: After Johny Five's taken a beating and can't talk, he writes on a computer screen using a single "finger" from his robotic arm. However, the screen shows characters that have to be typed by pressing the shift key while hitting another at the same time: ! $ @ # % ^.
Error in geography: This movie is set in America, but at the beginning when Ben is selling his toys you can see a sign for an entrance to the Toronto Subway or TTC.
Jack Weston's final film.
The character of Stephanie Speck from the first movie, played by Ally Sheedy, has a short audio role but on a cassette tape, and she makes a quick reference to Newton Crosby. Another heavy reference is made about Ben Jahrvi and Newton's working relationship and background during Fred Ritter's attempted sale of Johnny 5 to a corporation.
