Short Circuit 2

Producers wanted Steve Guttenberg to commit to the sequel without a script, but he declined. Twenty years later, Guttenberg expressed in an interview that he regretted turning down the chance to star in this film.

A major sub-plot involves Ben studying to become a US citizen, despite the fact he previously worked at a top-secret US weapons laboratory, an extremely unlikely job for a non-citizen. Also in the first movie he tells Newton he is originally from Bakersfield (California) and that his family is originally from Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania).

Early UK versions were cut by 5 secs by the BBFC to remove a shot of man holding nunchakus, and to edit 2 uses of the word "fucking" for a PG certificate (though some debate remains as to whether the swearing may have been misheard by mistake). The nunchaku shot was restored for the 2002 DVD release though the swearing remained cut. The BBFC finally passed the film completely uncut with a 12 certificate for the UK Blu-Ray release in 2021.
