Sundoy, Novombor 22, 187 Th Poducoh Sun El 5 Outtakes Quibble and bits hom the entertainment world ill 'f ''I i Toys profitable No. 5, the lovable robot of "Short Circuit," helped push that film to a lovable $100 million In worldwide theatrical and ancillary revenues surprisingly without merchandising tie-ins to the lovable movie. But the nuts-and4xlts humanold, laboring in Toronto for producers Lawrence Turman and David Foster and director Kenneth Johnson In "Short Circuit appealed most strongly to the under-14 audience. So No. 5 is about to lose Its merchandising innocence.

For starters, the mechanical hero ages from childhood to adolescence in the sequel, sporting a new punked-out look spiked antennae and draped with chains. And the plot of the sequel cleverly has star Fisher Stevens, again playing an East Indian scientist and the only cast holdover, making and selling a toy robot. Sequel cc-producer Gary Foster, David's son, said Worlds of Wonder already has constructed 30 18-inch models of the robot with forward-backward movement and lateral head motion. Foster expects a similar No. 5 to hit stores, at "somewhere between $40 and $80," when Tri-Star releases the $15 million picture In May.

Coke-owned Tri-Star Is considering a 30-second TV spot for Sprite or Cfcke highlighting the robot and the film, and If a scene in calls for a soft drink, you can bet it will be a Coke product Also a promotional tie-in with Kodak, whose batteries are seen powering No. 5 in the sequel. And possibly an association with Topps' Bazooka Bubblegum, which may be the adhesive that joins two wires and saves the day in a crucial scene. "The trick," said Foster, "will be not to cheapen him and the movie by overexposing him." Waiting for Warren A Warren Beatty has been telling the press that he is serious about working more often. He has said that both the long-gestating "Howard Hughes" and "Dick Tracy" are back in active development.

"Tracy," at 20th Century Fox, might startpre-production as early as March with Beatty possibly directing, said a Beatty representative. Now comes word from writer-director Wolfgang Petersen Boot," "Enemy that Beatty wants to do Petersen's "The Plastic Nightmare," described as an erotic thriller about an amnesiac stock broker. Reappearing act Remember Cathy Moriarty? She was being touted as a Bronx madonna for her role as Robert De Niro's love in "Raging Bull." New York Times' Vincent Canby called her "one of the film finds of the decade."

But although she said "I'm very pork, which she prepared with dumplings and cabbage. On the road, Navratilova always has a kitchen in her hotel room so that she can prepare her own breakfast. "I work out so much that I have to eat a lot," she said. "I make either oatmeal or muesli, maybe a bagel with a little butter, lots of carrot juice, then some pasta, with pesto sauce or sesame sauce." She usually brings her own selection of sandwiches to matches, she said, "otherwise you have to depend on the tournament dining I picky." ner absence is more than a matter ot I A I finding a "good role." I In 1982, she and her husband were passengers in a car that was rear-ended. "I woke up in the hospital," she recalled.

For dessert, she asked for fresh raspberries along with a glass of milk. i "You're going to think I'm crazy," Navratilova said as she poured the milk over the bowl of raspberries, sprinkled on some sugar and began mashing the mixture with a fork. "This is how I always eat fresh berries." She enjoys dining out in the city, especially at Italian restaurants.

Chinese and Japanese food are also favorites. The vacation week in New York does not exclude workouts. Later Wednesday afternoon, she will spend several hours at the Vertical Club with her full-time trainer, Joseph Breedlove, then meet her occasional training consultant, Dr. Renee Richards. Also on the schedule are Broadway shows.

On the infrequent occasions when she spends time at her home in Fort Worth, she putters in the "Last week I had an afternoon off at home," she said. A friend in Chicago had sent her some Czechoslovak-style smoked But finally I had to face the fact that the only way things would improve was to undergo major back surgery." Months of convalescence followed. But when she was ready to go back to work, the scripts being offered did not interest her. That is, until Robert Towne's "The Two Jakes" with Jack Nicholson. "It was one sequel that lived up to the original," Moriarty said.

"We rehearsed for a month, everything was set and on the first day of filming (early 1985) the studio pulled the plug. I hope 'Jakes' can be revived. I'd do it in a minute." In "White of the Eye," she plays the wife of a man (David Keith) suspected of murder. The $3 million independent production already has stirred positive critical response in England, where it has been touted as this year's "Blue Velvet." she could be lust another camera-toting tourist in the United Nations neighborhood. Once seated she ordered a cran-berry-and-Perrier cocktail as the conversation turned to her regimen.

"When I came to this country I used to eat all the wrong things: bread and butter, steaks and all kinds of meats with lots of mayonnaise, hamburgers, all that stuff," she recalled. "I've learned a lot from Dr. Whitcomb in Aspen, who has found which foods my body reacts to best and which tend to slow me down," she said. "I have found that the nightshade vegetables red peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes affect me in negative ways." She also minimizes her intake of red meat and refined sugar, while consuming large quantities of complex carbohydrates. Pasta is her -passion.

We opened the Ambassador Grill's lunch menu and saw a special of the day called spaghetti Martina. "What is spaghetti Martina?" the eponymous diner asked the captain. This dish was on the menu in her honor for the week. "The sauce is made with tomato; cream, chicken and mushrooms," he replied, beaming. "Tomatoes hmmmm," she murmured.

"Can I have something a little different, maybe without the tomatoes and chicken, and light on the cream?" "Of course," replied the captain, slightly crestfallen. Later, when the modified spaghetti Martina arrived, she rated it "very good," as was the appetizer By BRYAN MILLER New York Times Newi Service NEW YORK After winning the U.S. Open tennis championship this year in New York, Martina Navra-. tilova declined numerous invitations to celebrate at the city's swanky restaurants. Instead, she returned to her hotel room where a friend catered a private dinner party.

"It was all Czech food," she said. "Roasted duck with caraway seeds, cabbage and sauerkraut." This nostalgic and, as she recalls, heavy feast is a luxury the diet-conscious Navratilova allows herself only after tournament wins. As perhaps the greatest female tennis player in the world, with four U.S. Open singles titles in five years and eight Wimbledon singles wins (the last six in a row, a record), she is not exactly deprived of her native dishes. Navratilova attributes part of her career success to an exacting dietary regimen, developed in consultation with Dr.

Harold C. Whitcomb an internist based in Aspen, who specializes in chemical imbalances in the body. During a recent vacation to the city, Navratilova discussed her ideas about food over lunch in the Ambassador Grill at the United Nations Plaza Hotel, where she was staying. Whether from diet or her rigorous training, the 30-year-old tennis champion radiates good health. Tanned and without eyeglasses, her flaxen hair, longer than usual, brushed back from her forehead, she appeared less formidable than on the tennis court.

Bruce Lee lives Robert Clouse just cannot shake the spirit of Bruce Lee. The director of Lee's landmark martial-arts epic, "Enter the Dragon," is in Hong Kong interviewing with those who knew the charismatic superstar for a Lee biography. Lee died mysteriously in July 1973. An autopsy indicated a brain edema or swelling.

Among the questions: possible drug use by Lee. But Clouse does not expect any headline-making disclosures: "What I'm finding is that those who knew him are pretty protective of him. 'Saint Bruce' is what I'm finding." Footnote: In early 1986, Brandon Lee, son of Bruce and his American wife, Linda, made his acting debut playing the alienated son of Caine (David Carradine) in "Rung Fu: The Movie." At the time, Lee told People magazine that he did not plan to mirror his dad's career.
