Johnny 5 Returns to Astoria | Short Circuit 40th Anniversary & Filming Locations

Johnny 5 is back in Astoria. ⚡ We traveled to Astoria, Oregon, for the 40th anniversary celebration of Short Circuit. In this video, we take you inside the event at the Astoria Armory, see Johnny 5 arrive, catch appearances from Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, and Robert Davi, and check out some of the memorabilia from the movie. After the event, we head around Astoria to find several original Short Circuit filming locations and see how they look 40 years later. We visit: • The former gas station location • The bridge where Johnny 5 goes over the side • The area where he lands on Stephanie’s food truck • Stephanie’s house • Several streets used during the food-truck escape • Locations connected to Frank’s drive toward Stephanie’s house Since Astoria has been home to more than one famous movie, we also made a few bonus stops: • The Free Willy foster-family house • John Jacob Astor Elementary School from Kindergarten Cop • The iconic Goonies house A big thank-you to the property owners and neighbors who allowed us to respectfully visit and film around these locations. Whenever you visit a filming location—especially a private home—please follow posted rules, respect the residents, and stay off private property unless you have permission. Thanks for riding along with us. Trail Tails is about trails, history, 4Runner adventures, and places with a story.
