Its a kids film, they just needed an excuse for toys coming to life and going to war with each other.
And it was the perfect film to launch a line of toys alongside
>>64155105
Like all great kids' movies it's filled with violence, jingosim, greed, and a fucking brain transplant scene that still haunts my nightmares.

there was an article a couple weeks ago about the writer "confirming that the gorgonites did in fact make it back to Gorgon"
and ever since that article I've seen that movie mentioned at least 2-3x every couple of days and I haven't heard anyone talk about that movie since the year after it was released.

How do you think the second Gulf War went down in this universe? Do you think Saddam or that bastard Uday got raped by killer toys deliver by a BLU? Furthermore how do you think that would of changed Generation Kill?

Fun Fact: Though it is commonly mistaken that the Avatar series was intended to serve as a retelling of 'Dances With Wolves' in space, it was actually conceived from beginning to end by Cameron as a spiritual successor to Small Soldiers.

Definitely requires a seismic suspension of disbelief before you get to the toy capabilities. Regardless a bad ass film. I watched that shit on repeat as a child and saw it again a few years ago. It doesnt hold up well, but it doesnt need to. It's perfect
>>64155847 >large corporation has dogshit internal controls >especially computer controls >in the early 90s
No, this is way waaaayy more realistic than you think
>>64155726 >Major Chip Hazard is a major chip hazard
That feels like cleverer writing than anything in the past 5 years
The chase scene was iconic with the jank toy combat vehicles as he struggled to out run them on his scooter. The little vehicles were delightfully creative. Team probably had a blast sketching it all out. I remember thinking it was the coolest shit around
>>64155404 >confirming that the gorgonites did in fact make it back to Gorgon" >>64156488
Wait but they were toys of the Gorgonites. Like the soldiers were toy sized soldiers. As in the "canonical" Gorgonites would have been big guys.
So like, did tiny sentient robot versions of the Gorgonites make it to a magical fictional world where the actual magical fantasy guys lived?

God I loved this film as a kid.
Use to thought there was a body count for some reason as a kid. And I mean, there 'technically' was but basically every blood and flesh person got to walk away alive, don't know what little kid me was thinking.

My mom took my brother and I to see this movie twice. The second time was in the middle of the day on a week day, I think we were out of school for a Dr appt or something. Either way, it was the first movie I saw in an empty theater and it was awesome.
the part where the kid shoved one toy in the garbage disposal, then he crawls back all ficked up and coughing like "sarge, they got me" really stuck in my head
>hey kids! you know who to root for! >not the crazy psycho and cool american marine guys with the edgy nicknames and barbie girlfriends! >instead, the faggotous mutant furries that suck each other's cocks while the big ogre-like retard and his eyeball dildo watches!

What does the launch code matter when it's the final and least important layer of the security onion?
It's like girls obsessing over the color of panties; bitch, even if they're shit stained I'm still gonna fuck you lmao

you goddamn retard >hey lets just start not caring about holes in the swiss cheese they'll never line up anyway >it doesn't matter if I drive drunk this one time >why check the road before crossing, the drivers are probably paying attention >I don't have to use a condom, usually there is no problem

Its actually smart. Imagine some fuck breaking into a silo and trying to launch a nuke. They get to the password part and are punching in random codes they've got their hands on, not realizing its straight 0's
>>64165343
If the only people in the room are people you would trust with the nuclear launch codes anyways, what do the codes matter?
If someone you didn't trust with the nuclear launch codes is in the room, you have bigger problems than just the codes.

It always sounded to me like a typical corporate bureaucratic compromise:
[Security department demand list] We need it to be password protected
[Strategic department demand list] We need it to be ready to go at any time
[Technical engineer] done and done
Same reason why people write passwords for the office wifi on post-its.
>>64161771 >first movie I saw in an empty theater and it was awesome.
Based. My first time with an empty theater was Cats Don't Dance. Babysitter took my brothers and I to it. We got bored halfway through and had a food fight. Almost got kicked out. Shit was so cash.

I had the toy of the main good guy without knowing it's from a movie, I just thought it looked cool. I was really disapointed when I watched the movie and it turned out he was a hippie toy instead of a barbarian hero.
>>64168794
The Burger King Archer with the firing arrow?
One of the best toys I ever had. Before they banned firing projectiles with that amount of range.
>hippie
The filmmakers might not have intended it but the day is saved by the peacenik Gorgonites finally joining the battle and mowing down the bad guys. Think about that.

People built what essentially equates to a super computer out of thousands of them so I assume they figured Iran or some shit would use it for nuke research

With modern filmmaking it'll be awful. Also as dumb as it sounds, part of the Small Soldiers appeal is the slightly dated visuals that I promise would be worse today.

I’ve always just admired military aesthetics and the strict hierarchy within it. I hate Rambo style one man army style characters but love military uniformity.

The 90s were pretty cool. People were imagining a future of total human death by robots and they were right. Terminator 2 came out. Screamers. They can't take that away from me. https://youtu.be/ao-Sahfy7Hg

Its a proof of concept where they are pushing to make either a second movie or vidya but they can't decide which as they keep flip flopping.
Nah the peaceful people defeat the big bad is a common trope, maybe since the start of human history. It’s not even a movie thing, it’s pretty ingrained in human culture.
