Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny is spinning the two robbers around, you can tell that he is actually holding dummies. In the close up shots of the robbers, you can see them kicking their legs, but in the wide shots of the room, they are rigid and lifeless.
Short Circuit 2 (1988)
Directed by: Kenneth Johnson
Starring: Michael McKean, Fisher Stevens, Cynthia Gibb, Tim Blaney
Visible crew/equipment: When Fred is chucked on the table and says, "Watch the silk." you can see that its Fred's stunt double as he's a lot fatter and his hair is obviously a wig also he does a really good job of covering his face so the audience can't see hes a stunt man.
Audio problem: After Johnny escapes into the city, Ben returns home and starts to shout at Fred for letting him get out. Watch Freds mouth closely as he replies, some of the words he says back to Ben have been removed. Judging by his mouth movements, they appear to be swear words he is saying, and as the film is rated as PG, they were probably removed so they would not cause offence.
Question: When Ben and Fred are trying to call people with the calculator, why does the calculator randomly start playing "Help me Rhonda"?
Answer: They could only communicate via musical tones. They were trying to give Sandy clues as to where they were being held (playing 'Downtown' to let her know they were downtown). 'Help Me Rhonda' was a clue that they were in trouble.
