Small Soldiers also has some hidden messages in it that people might not notice like how toy companies market violence to impressionable young kids by calling it "action" instead, the senselessness of war, how everyday unassuming household items can be made into dangerous weapons, and how running and hiding from conflict will only work until one has no choice but to fight back, etc.
I never fully understood the Issue people had with the tone of the film. Plenty of kids films have moments of lighthearted whiskey interspersed with dread.
Omg! Small Soldiers is a childhood classic 👌🏻 You never cease to amaze me Minty you’re choices in what you review are perfect. 💯much love from 🇨🇦 Edit: 9:31 🤘🏻💯♥️🔥 I loved that game!!
I remember watching this movie SO many times as a kid. I also remember playing the PS1 game (which I hope either AVGN or Caddicarus reviews sometime!), and also the PC game "Squad Commander".
vampiras coffin same here and yes R.I.P. to Phil. Oddly enough I post a comment before I read yours and I make a joke from The Fairly Odd Parents(when it was still good)
I went to see this movie at a dollar theater with my oldest brother and I loved it, my favorite character was Insaniac and Archer. Also hearing Tommy Lee Jones as Chip Hazard was freaking awesome because at the time I watched Men in Black on VHS.
They are just inverting right and wrong, blurring the lines between true and false, bad and good, where a demon will be good and a human will be bad. Super satanic programming of the mind with the constant dehumanization/ or demonization of people in general.
I was an adult when the movie came out. My kids loved it, and so did I. I still do! We bought it first on VHS, then upgraded to DVD. I'll need to grab it off the shelf and fire it up!
One thing you forgot to mention about the soundtrack: the classic rock songs on the soundtrack? They were modern reworkings of those songs. Bone Thugs & Harmony and Henry Rollins actually teamed up with the original song “War”, Edwin Starr. “Another One Bites The Dust” was remixed and performed by Wyclef Jean, Pras & the Refugee All-Stars along with the original Queen vocals. Finally, “Love Is A Battlefield” was a modern remix with Pat Benatar singing and Queen Latifah providing rap vocals. The soundtrack also had other remixes of other classic rock tracks alongside the originals. Hope that fact helped.
The movie Small soldiers was bleeping awesome. Of course I was an adult when I saw it but I thought the concept was fantastic because my imagination as a child was right down those lines. This really took me back. Thanks Minty keep up the great work brother
Here's a couple of tidbits for you Minty. In the Small Soldiers toy line, there was a Ground Assault Vehicle for Chip Hazard that was actually a recoloured Action Man Moon Rover. For the Buzzsaw Tank, Kenner used a lot of parts from the GI Joe Extreme Thunderin' Fury tank.
Yeah I second that as I'd watch that too,, your comment is now 5 months old though so I hope he hasn't already done it and I've missed it somehow, lol..
@@VulgarUltra I laughed so hard multiple times due to his antics on that show😂😂 he does have talent and definitely has been around. Not mad about it tho Haha
They almost went with Arnold Schwarzenegger as The voice of Major Chip Hazard and the entire cast of PREDATOR as The Commando Elites and The Gorgonites The reason why they didn't cast Arnold is because he dropped out in favor of playing MR FREEZE in BATMAN AND ROBIN Minty you should have included that piece of trivia in 10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SMALL SOLDIERS
Hell yeah, i lied tho it wasnt the other day it was a week or two ago and was bummed it didnt come up in the search. Good shit thanks man i woulda never looked it back up
I remember I was 8yrs seeing the movie advertising on cable TV and I begged my dad to rent it on VHS. He actually got it and it blew me away. Then later on I saw it in Woolworth as a puzzle,with Chip fighting one of the aliens and I begged my mom to get it for me and she did. Thanks for bringing back good memories Minty.
He uncredited himself , he does this on other films as well , you don't want to tarnish you're name Incase the movie doesn't do well that's why he produces that way you can still gather revenue
@@dalegribble2777 that makes sense really considering how well know he is he can just uncredit himself then if the movies crap he still gets revenue anyway like you say, I'd never really looked at it that way so glad you pointed it out really mate..
@@jakezillaofficial Oh god you are right, both versions were used in the movie. Finally found the one you are talking about through IMDB scrubbing and digging thru youtube: czcams.com/video/dxO6h-EhLHE/video.html
Yeah it makes me feel like he doesn't fully understand what he's talking about. And don't get me started on the section about music. He didn't reference the correct version of war they used in the movie and couldn't even say Pat Benatar correctly. When you start off the sentence by saying " surprisingly many classic rocking tunes" it shows how much you don't actually know about music in general.
They also released a line of action figures that were the same size as the ones in the movie and even came in the same box from the movie, I had major chip hazard and archer, the original major chip hazard would say lines from the movie but the second generation of the action figures had generic soldier catchphrases
I never actually thought a gun was missing from the photo, I just thought it was a sort of take on those ‘Your country needs you’ posters with the finger pointing. Great video as always Minty. Small Soldiers is one of those films I forget about but whenever I’m flicking through the TV and see it’s on, I always watch it.
2:54 That didn't stop Burger King from promoting and selling toys to kids for the PG-13 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 7:32 Which is a shame because his score for this film is amazing and it deserves more praise.
I loved this movie a lot when it first came out! My Dad took my brother and I to see it in the theaters when it came out! I never knew that the G.I.Joe toys were an influence on the Commando Elite at the time but the fact that they looked like G.I.Joe toys was what appealed to me to wanna see this movie when it first came out because I love both G.I.Joe toys, which I am currently collecting! And I also really Love the G.I.Joe cartoon series from the 80s as well as the 2nd G.I.Joe series from the early 90s as well!
Lol, who's Pat Benarta?? Great video as always, Minty, I remember this film very well, & like with you, it didn't resonate much with me, cause I was in my early teens, by then. Maybe I should go back & re-watch it, as I haven't watched it since the late 90s. Hey, I was curious, why did you take down the 10 Things episodes of Return of the Living Dead & Night of the Demons? Any plans to re-upload those?
you forgot the top down rts small soldier game where you can be either the gorgonites or the commandos, it was in the lines of starcraft and warcraft was really fun and had solid voice over work
Ah, one of my favorite movies from my childhood, and the first one where I actually rooted for the bad guys. It also introduced me to awesome songs like War and Another One Bites the Dust, the latter became my introduction to Queen.
10 Things You Didn't Know About: -Bloodsport -Lords of Dogtown -Hocus Pocus -3:10 To Yuma -Pain&Gain -The Outsiders -Alpha Dog -Dead Silence -Detroit Rock City
I love Small Soldiers and always have! I don’t think Chip Hazard looks like Dutch from predator, but I always thought the Comando Elite toy with the shadow, scarf, and cigar in his mouth looked A LOT like Dutch. I definitely agree that the cast of Predator playing the Comandos, especially Arnold playing Chip Hazard would’ve been AWESOME!!!!! 😄😄
This is a very underrated movie. It's Gremlin and Toy Story combined that makes it so unique and interesting. I had a lot of fun with this movie. I would love a sequel maybe a rated R since majority of the fans are adults now just as long as they Do It Right: No producer / politician / sponsors meddling that usually destroy our current sequels these days (like Star Wars & MCU). I'm talking a full creative control by one good director with a great script to work on & no-restriction Rated R that would make the film more realistic & full of surprises.
@@charlesdavis4887 yeah I would of watched that with great interest too.. Same as The Garbage pail kids movie that was supposed to be more like child's play to as Minty has just talked about that on his new video on that movie too..
Ahh, the Rodeo Whopper. I can still remember that commercial but up till now I couldn't remember the name of that burger. Thanks Minty. You filled in a gap in my memory.
Thanks for the likes dude and reason i say this is coincidence is cause the new chucky seems to be w little close to small soldiers. Which Small Soldiers is awesome and Chucky is ehhh alright i guess
"Small Soldiers" was one of those movies my three/four year old son (Now 17yrs old) MADE me watch over and over and oooovvvveeerrr again. I still like it at times. And it's still kinda groovy to watch it with him but he's at that age where spending time with mama isn't as cool as it used to be. So as irritated as I used to get about I miss our "Small Soldiers" days.
I'm not sure where he comes from, but most Brits don't pronounce final "Rs"---then tack them on where they're no needed. ('Course, New Englanders do the same thing: I remember someone from Down East talking about "the best pizzer in Americker.)
I loved this movie as a kid when it came out. Remember seeing it the the theater and playing the ps1 game alot. Still have it on VHS. Even used to have a shirt of chip that would talk/ play his voice.
Small Soldiers was The Puppet Master for kids who's parents didn't let them watch graphic horror movies. P.S. I got the Mr. Potato Head toys from McDonald's. Bummer. Great vid as always, Minty. Keep it up.
Back in the day me and my mates were watching this on DVD. We were all high on something, can't remember what, but half way through at a quiet moment, one of them pipes up "Is this a true story?"
Jon Bourgoin No he doesn’t. I’ve heard plenty of Aussie’s say her name right. It’s incredibly obvious that he’s never heard of her and mispronounced her name because he doesn’t know how to pronounce it.
I was almost 40 when I saw it and it harkened back to every kid's dream of having toys that come to life. I mean, who didn't play with gi joe's and wish they would????
Small Soldiers also has some hidden messages in it that people might not notice like how toy companies market violence to impressionable young kids by calling it "action" instead, the senselessness of war, how everyday unassuming household items can be made into dangerous weapons, and how running and hiding from conflict will only work until one has no choice but to fight back, etc.

I loved that game!!
I just watched this yesterday.
To be honest I thought Canadian kids were only allowed to watch pbs and degrassi
I read on wattpad a Small Soldiers 2: The New Arrival! (Commando Elite X reader)...It was quite interesting...,,,,
I loved small soldiers as a kid, I’d always have it on repeat on the vhs 😭 my mom got tired of having to hit the button
I remember watching this movie SO many times as a kid. I also remember playing the PS1 game (which I hope either AVGN or Caddicarus reviews sometime!), and also the PC game "Squad Commander".
I watched this hundreds of times as a kid and had all the Hasbro toys. I could never figure out Squad Commander as a young kid

I still really like Small Soldiers, even if the guys I thought were cool are the bad guys
I was always a bigger fan of the Gorganites, the Commando Elites actually scared me when i was young, i still liked them though.
This is actually the first movie where I rooted for the bad guys. The Commandos are just that cool.
I went to see this movie at a dollar theater with my oldest brother and I loved it, my favorite character was Insaniac and Archer.
Also hearing Tommy Lee Jones as Chip Hazard was freaking awesome because at the time I watched Men in Black on VHS.
They are just inverting right and wrong, blurring the lines between true and false, bad and good, where a demon will be good and a human will be bad. Super satanic programming of the mind with the constant dehumanization/ or demonization of people in general.
They just added this on Netflix
Cast of Predator as action figures:
Richard Chavez to Jesse Ventura: "Hey, you're melting"
Ventura: "I ain't got time to melt."
Comedy gold!
The cast of the film, including David Cross, Kevin Dunn, and Jay Mohr is what makes small soldiers watchable. Also, the Rodeo Burger was awesome.
I was an adult when the movie came out. My kids loved it, and so did I. I still do! We bought it first on VHS, then upgraded to DVD. I'll need to grab it off the shelf and fire it up!
Minty still waiting for Galaxy Quest
David Garcia "By Grabthars Hammer I Agree with you !!!" lol
yes, pls
It would be difficult to do justice to that movie. That being said, it would be Awesome!
One thing you forgot to mention about the soundtrack: the classic rock songs on the soundtrack? They were modern reworkings of those songs. Bone Thugs & Harmony and Henry Rollins actually teamed up with the original song “War”, Edwin Starr. “Another One Bites The Dust” was remixed and performed by Wyclef Jean, Pras & the Refugee All-Stars along with the original Queen vocals. Finally, “Love Is A Battlefield” was a modern remix with Pat Benatar singing and Queen Latifah providing rap vocals. The soundtrack also had other remixes of other classic rock tracks alongside the originals. Hope that fact helped.
I'm surprised you never mentioned Phil Hartman, he was murdered during the movie.
All because Bryn getting hooked on coke a few weeks prior (in my opinion)
It's always crazy seeing one of your favorite youtubers in the comment section of another person's video. Hi Larry!
@@jameson8682 Word up, yo!

Pat Benata?!? 😂😂😂 Ben-a-tar, Minty. I sentence you to do 10 things about, "The Legend of Billie Jean."
GOOD movie. :)
LOVE that movie.
I thought he said Pat Banana through my potato speakers… Potato Head speakers maybe?
The Legend of Billie Jean is a good a** movie hopefully he does that one soon
@@magicvampirelver1321 It's also a good ass movie too.
a underrated movie that needs to be on blu ray. i still have the figures since 1998
Rhodie Slayer you mean 4K now Phil Hartman and as well the best war scenes they had in this movie
I think Shout! Factory would release this
Mad respect
@@chrislondo2683 dont they do straight to dvd horror films?
It finally got a Blu ray release
8:08 did you call 80's female rock star Pat Benatar "Pat Banata"?
David Frederick you’re right lol
@Sim with a Whim i absolutely love Minty and he's one of my fav CZcamsrs, but he definitely didn't say "Benatar" correctly.
@9:55 he says “acha” instead of “archer.” It’s just his accent
At 8:53 he says “luva” instead of “lover” ....shall I continue...
@ 9:09 he says “figahs” instead of “figures” over the course of almost a minute...
I found the soundtrack to be very odd and fun. The mix of the classic rock with rap n hip hop was a very strange and bold move yet worked.
Well just tell us what you want what you really really want?
@@aarongreenfield9038 lol..
The PS One game was actually pretty good, one of the best video game adaptations of a movie, up there with Spiderman 2 on PS 2 IMO
Dude I've never come across someone who's seen so many films that me and my siblings grew up on. Thank you for always making great videos!
The movie Small soldiers was bleeping awesome. Of course I was an adult when I saw it but I thought the concept was fantastic because my imagination as a child was right down those lines. This really took me back. Thanks Minty keep up the great work brother
Yo I love this movie
I used to play this movie on repeat until my VHS tape messed up. I even had a major chip hazard toy
Same, I still own both the VHS and the Chip Hazard toy
JELLY! I always wanted him but never got him.
Here's a couple of tidbits for you Minty. In the Small Soldiers toy line, there was a Ground Assault Vehicle for Chip Hazard that was actually a recoloured Action Man Moon Rover. For the Buzzsaw Tank, Kenner used a lot of parts from the GI Joe Extreme Thunderin' Fury tank.

How dare you forget David Cross's name. He is funny as hell* and has been on some good shows
I thought the same. Arrested Development was brilliance.
@@VulgarUltra I laughed so hard multiple times due to his antics on that show😂😂 he does have talent and definitely has been around. Not mad about it tho Haha
Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been an awesome Chip Hazard!! Thanks for the video!! See you later!
Well he does in the german version. For the german dub they hired Thomas Danneberg, who is the regular dubbing voice of him in the movies.
that movie would have skyroketed, tommy lee jones is good, but arnie can be pretty intimidating as well
They almost went with Arnold Schwarzenegger as The voice of Major Chip Hazard and the entire cast of PREDATOR as The Commando Elites and The Gorgonites The reason why they didn't cast Arnold is because he dropped out in favor of playing MR FREEZE in BATMAN AND ROBIN Minty you should have included that piece of trivia in 10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SMALL SOLDIERS
Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been FUCKING AWESOME as the voice of Major Chip Hazard I get GEEKGASMS listening to Tommy Lee Jones
wau. what a shame, mr freeze memoarable as well, no doubt. but far more trashy
Dang. I just watched this movie yesterday on netflix. Awesome work minty
Irs on netflix now? I just looked it up the other day it didnt come up
Hell yeah, i lied tho it wasnt the other day it was a week or two ago and was bummed it didnt come up in the search. Good shit thanks man i woulda never looked it back up
Loved, Small Soldiers! Still watch it! Whenever I can!
There was also a video game called Small Soldiers: Squad Commander which was a RTS. I was obsessed with this movie when it came out.
I saw the movie in the theater n had on VHS. I loved the movie. I also have the soundtrack. The soundtrack is amazing.
Wow you have just made me feel old reminding me of my old VHS copy of this movie when it first come out, lol..
Spielberg's sister is Rod Stewart?!! Who'd have thunk.

@@iwonderifthisislegal I'm perfectly relaxed and I like Minty as well, just noting that he certainly has a way of mispronouncing words at times.

It's too bad Spielberg was uncredited for this movie, but still, it's a pretty good film.
He uncredited himself , he does this on other films as well , you don't want to tarnish you're name Incase the movie doesn't do well that's why he produces that way you can still gather revenue

I miss the 90's, one of my favorite childhood movies.
This channel is worth watching for the unique ways Minty butchers the names of famous people lmao love it!
Chip Hazard is like the badass little brother of G.I. Joe.
He's his gruff, more badass uncle
Or big brother because Chip looks older.
Probably works for cobra.
I read on wattpad a Small Soldiers 2: The New Arrival! (Commando Elite X reader)...It was quite interesting...,,,,
8:00 it's War is by Edwin Starr not the album by Bone Thugs N Harmony
Yeah,,,,this fucking guy did not di his homework well.
The cover for War was used for the movie.
@@jakezillaofficial Oh god you are right, both versions were used in the movie. Finally found the one you are talking about through IMDB scrubbing and digging thru youtube: czcams.com/video/dxO6h-EhLHE/video.html
Arnold voicing Chip Hazard would've been way too obvious. I think Tommy Lee Jones was perfect
That bald guy from chipmunks is David Cross, an amazing comedian/actor who deserves respect
Minty, Pat Venarda?!
Please, she's an icon.. Pat Ben-it-tar.
THE GORGONITES ARE PEACEFUL
WE MEAN YOU NO HARM

Jon Bourgoin No he doesn’t. I’ve heard plenty of Aussie’s say her name right. It’s incredibly obvious that he’s never heard of her and mispronounced her name because he doesn’t know how to pronounce it.
When I was a kid, every time I got sick and stayed home I whatched this movie in VHS, every time. This is literally my chillhood.
Yeah haha loved the movie
My Children were under twelve when we watched this and even I found it entertaining and they loved it .
Thank you, Minty-Now-Shut-Up.
Pat banado??!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Childhood right here man! Saw this movie twice in theatres!
I was almost 40 when I saw it and it harkened back to every kid's dream of having toys that come to life. I mean, who didn't play with gi joe's and wish they would????
Love is a battlefield by... Pat Banada? lol It's pronounced Pat Bĕn•ă•tăr
Minty slaughters American names.
The arrows above the a's don't actually go there dude...
Infact it ruins the pronunciation
@@CaveDDECanem I thought so too but that is the proper sound. Google it. Also, they're not arrows, if anything, they're smiles.
