Our expert's notes

Johnny 5’s eyes from John Badham’s comedy sci-fi Short Circuit. Invented by Nova Robotics, Johnny 5 is the beloved robot who gained human-like intelligence after being struck by lightning. His distinctive camera-like eyes were designed to convey his emotions and amiable character.

Made of metal, the eyes feature brass rings with internal glass lenses. Housed within the lenses are functional black-plated camera apertures, which, when mounted to a remote-control rig during production, could be opened and closed to resemble the movement of an eye’s iris.

Accompanying the eyes is an original cast-and-crew screening invitation dated “Friday, May 2, 8PM”, as well as a small 3 ½” x 5” photograph depicting Johnny’s head. There is some light wear to the metal components of the eyes and the paperwork shows minor stains and creases from age. Dimensions (per eye): 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 3 cm (3” x 3” x 1 ¼”)
