When a movie begins with the action hero saying, "He killed my partner," there's gonna be some bloodshed, followed by a one-liner; in this case, "You're under arrest," which is not that ironic or humorous except the guy Jean Claude Van Damme's speaking to is completely unconscious and almost dead...<br>

This catapults into yet another <i>Cop Sent Into Prison Undercover</i> flick (investigating random inmate deaths) that's better than most, especially given the relatively low budget and tier-two actors including bully guard Art LeFleur, YOUNGBLOOD starlet Cynthia Gibb as the planted "wife" and especially the late  Robert Guillaume (Benson on SOAP and BENSON), who, like Morgan Freeman a few years later in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, is a convicted killer that acquires goods and most important, information (to a white innocent inmate) that, in both cases, can help an "innocent" white guy...<br>

Yet it's nothing too easy since Claude Van Damme's Louis Burke, during the best scenes, aided by quirky cellmate Conrad Dunn... who played Francis "Psycho" Sawyer in STRIPES and almost looks more like TAXI DRIVER Travis Bickle than Robert De Niro... must visit various cellblocks in the dark, dingy, fitfully claustrophobic prison to gather name-after-name and thankfully, a few neat fights occur along the way: One in particular, with another familiar face to the 80's tough guy realm, Al Leong, is a face-kicking standout.<br>
<br>
Like all Action or Prison flicks, there's only so far the buildup can go before the sh-t hits the can: in this case when signature b-villain Patrick Kilpatrick returns from the prologue and, sadly, the intriguing prison flick becomes a desperate fight for survival as the proverbial rocks tumble down at top speed. A shame since the gathering moss was so damn entertaining.<br>

<u>SHORT CIRCUIT 2 REVIEW</u>: It's rare a sequel exceeds the original, especially with a comedy film, but this does in leaps and bounds: The lovable robot, sought after by the typically typecast evil military in the first film, is shipped to Indian scientist Fisher Stevens in New York, taking to the streets of The Big Apple and wanting desparaetly to be human like everyone else. But Number Five, now Johnny Five, has other problems: including bank robbers and helping his creator romantically connect with a lovely, ambitious climber (Cynthia Gibb) set to buy toy versions of himself... or rather, itself... from Stevens and seedy partner Michael McKean, still a nice guy despite his falling to the dark side of Capitalism c/o main baddie Jack Weston. Leading to an action-packed "aerial" climax with fantastic stunt work the likes of a serious action flick.<br />

Sans the technical backstory and preachy undertone of the original, there's more of the robot this time around, having a fun time lost in the big city thanks to director Kenneth Johnson, who successfully adapted THE INCREDIBLE HULK to television, doing for Johnny Five what he did for The Hulk... Adding, through interesting low-angle shots and character-driven perspective, depth and humanity to what had been, in both the Robot and Hulk's origins, merely child's play.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><b>In SHORT CIRCUIT 2, how did you humanize the robot, Johnny Five? </b></span><i>I always knew that the visuals and the sight gags would play very well, but I worked very hard with the talented writers to mine all of the human emotion that was central to Johnny's character. Then when the amazing puppeteers Rob, Gord and Trish came on board they really brought Johnny to life in a way that was so realistic and enchanting that everyone fell in love with him. </i><i>People would visit the set and have complete conversations with Johnny, totally unmindful of the puppeteers, who were only a few yards away: </i><i>After the movie was over I experienced a very strange period of mourning... because I could still talk to each of the people I had worked with.. But Johnny... who was a combination of their talents... was gone... It was a bit like a dear friend had died. I still feel a sadness to this day.</i><br />

Roseanne fans won’t be disappointed in (and haters will be surprised by) this TV-movie about an Elvis Presley zealot who, raising two daughters, is flagged by the government for a questionable income. Enter Cynthia Gibb as a sympathetic Social Worker who initially investigates Roseanne, and then befriends her. Gibb's buried lead provides Barr the chance to be a character-actress since it's through her younger, more naive eyes that the initial story unveils. But the best moments are with Sally Kirkland as Roseanne's sidekick, both making an adventurous modern day Lucy and Ethel. Whenever Kirkland’s on screen, Roseanne's performance seems that much sharper; as does the storyline that, when straying from the duo and centering on Gibb’s workplace romance with a badly cast dolt, sinks into fluffy melodrama. And last but not least, future scream queen/then child actress Danielle Harris as the vulnerable if mopey daughter, trying to avoid embarrassment from her classmates because of her mom; if an character <i>needs</i> the most motivation here, it's her. The only square peg is frumpy Tom Arnold acting like he's a Clint Eastwood type of "real man": something wife Rosanne pushed for years until their divorce, and his separate fame after TRUE LIES. Directed by Bill Bixby (who Kirkland appeared with on THE INCREDIBLE HULK), this is an effective time-filler as good as any lightweight theatrical fare. <br />
