Yeah, except in the original story, the final ‘boss’ toy doesn’t even feature, only the small-scale thermonuclear weapon. The ‘boss’ toy, it seems, was just for the teleplay to make it more exciting for TV.
7:54 During that moment, they didn’t run out of bullets. The machine gun jammed, and the soldier tried pulling on the charging handle was a nice little detail on how they actually worked.
@@a.r.e.j.1693 This isn't a Stephen King story, it's a Philip K. Dick story, but i guess King adapted or riffed on it in a similar short story for one of his collection in the 70s?
You can thank Philip K. Dick, the master author who wrote the story that inspired Blade Runner! (This one was first called "From Mother with Love" I believe, circa 1964ish) (and in the original, the bad guy was a merciless CEO who drove the founder of the toy company to despair and suicide... this version of the bad guy is just as good tho, or even better than the CEO idea)
...oookay, I guess I must be imagining the PKD short story? I just skimmed the entire PKD oeuvre and cannot find a story similar to this one, regardless of title. (I did find about six that I want to re-read though) So I guess Stephen King's "Battleground" really is the origin of this fun made-for-TV version, and the bad guy really was a merciless hitman, not a merciless CEO! Glad to have straighteded this out in my head...
How about giving everyone a little more info for crying out loud... This was from a 2006 TV series called: Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. This was the first episode - Battleground.
Who remembers Trilogy of Terror? The one chapter has the lady doing battle with the possessed voodoo doll. That scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. In an obvious tip of the hat to that , keep an eye out for that voodoo doll getting blown up in this video. It looks like the same doll.
8:42 Anyone else notice that this memento destroyed by the soldiers was a replica of the headhunter doll that terrorized Karen Black in the 1975 TV movie "Trilogy of Terror"?
Hmm 1/20 ish scale nuclear weapon, say .5 kilotons = 500 tons divided by 20 = a mere 25 tons of HE. HM Government health warning this toy may cause collateral damage🤣
All the people asking for the title of the movie needs to learn to pay attention. It is shown at the very beginning, even at the 0:00 mark at the bottom of the screen! 🤦
I'm glad more people are noticing this happening. It's not just with movie recap I been seeing videos all the time that I've already watched previously. But apparently it's not a reupload. I thought I was going crazy at first.
This is an hour long episode of a limited anthology series called 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes'. All of the episodes are based on short stories by Stephen King. Battleground was the first one aired and the only dialog comes from a news broadcast. The episode is silent of any human talking. This episode was also directed by Brian Henson, son of Jim Henson.
@@ASDF-lw9sm Same length and all based on Stephen King short stories. Show (called “Nightmares and Dreamscapes”) is just 12 episodes. Some really good ones too.
Everyone needs a personal loyal army of soldiers like that
Yee😂
like the Bloods and the Crips
I'm training a bunch of chipmunks.
This guy probably lived in an empty skyscraper. No neighbors or no one responds to all the commotions.
They're probably peeking through the broken door😂
@@TheMovieHooks 😆 🤣 😂 😹
He is Hitman maybe he soundproofed his house so no one can hear his "work".
@@Snp2024That's possible.
do you realize most tall buidling that are very expensive to live most the rooms don't have people living in them.
The movie is called "BATTLEGROUND (2006)". You're welcome🤘🏼
👍
idiot uploader didnt even mention it. absurd person
Thanks alot
Wow, you can read too? I thought I was the only one! Thank goodness
What an excellent short movie, William Hurt was spot on with his acting with minimal words. RIP.
Now I wanna rewatch Small soldiers again.
Same director did both this episode and that movie.
I love this movie😅
Pls what’s the movie title
@@bellooluwatunmise3204 it’s a TV series called “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” episode titled “Battleground”.
@@bellooluwatunmise3204 Nightmares and Dreamscapes (Battleground) (2006) 8 episodes, i think
Ok. So this movie did exist…. It wasn’t a childhood fever dream after all 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂,,
Toy Story: The Sid Files

Wow toy story 99 already!?
This is an adaptation of Stephen King's "Battleground" (1972) and later collected in Night Shift (1978)
Yes I remember this I saw this when I was a little kid
or even a TWLIGHTZONE or TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE movie where a racist gov. was attacted by some little voodoo dolls..

@@jackflash128I think that was Tales from the Hood you're describing 🤔
What show is this from???
No. We have Small Soldiers at home!
Temu G.I George with nipples but no penis.
That was a wild story. This is like a more violent version of Small Soldiers.
Those fucking canons has the power of a small pistol round holy shit
😂
Damn the hit man managed to brutally kill toy Rambo
Ye
Who then pulled a Predator move on him.
haha :D

What movie this is
Yes, you need to very careful😂😂😂
Toy Rambo went out with a bang
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left we all fall down! Like toy soldiers 😂😂😂😂
It would be very popular if you did a full collection of Stephen King movies. Thanks for this one!
they already did a few King recaps.
@@a.r.e.j.1693 yes, but there are probably a hundred others, and a series devoted to King would be more popular than anything on the channel so far.
@@rocketRobScott If you go to the channel's videos and order them by popularity, none of the King's movies are on top.
@@a.r.e.j.1693 This isn't a Stephen King story, it's a Philip K. Dick story, but i guess King adapted or riffed on it in a similar short story for one of his collection in the 70s?
@@Wordsmiths It is literally a TV series based on Stephen King's short stories.
Is that a comedy? I laughed so hard watching this recap 😄
Npc
And the helicopter with rockets too lol.
I like the hommage to the old old short of the warrior doll which comes to life.
Love the Trilogy Of Terror doll reference!
at 8:42, right?
@@SanjaySingh-oh7hv
Bingo!
This was based on a short story in the book Night Shift by Stephen King called Battleground!!! The ending with the bonus is excellent!!!!
RIP William Hurt.
The hitman should have been more careful
Mom: “oh no he stepped on his toys, I wonder what he’s thinking”
The kid:
LOL Like Small Soldiers only these Guys gone Rogue!
This whole scene had me dying of laughter.
I was rooting for the soldiers.
I was rooting for the man
What's the name of the movie
bros got bad company (the stand)💀
In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only, toys!
What a cool movie idea, props to whoever came up with it.. it reminds me of the scene from night at the museum. Good recap as always!

Having a living toy soldiers wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Yo what's the flip is that name 😂
The downstairs neighbor riddled with bullets 😂😂😂
There's nothing better than oldies! They had better writing & took artistic risks. Nowadays all we get is rehashed/woke remakes
Remakes
I Agree
Agreed
More heart and rewatch value
This is actually really fun to watch. I wonder if it was hard to act in this?
What is the name of a movie
It was “Dark Room” a series like Twilight Zone. It was a good one.
How about giving everyone a little more info for crying out loud... This was from a 2006 TV series called: Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. This was the first episode - Battleground.
I liked the “Trilogy of Terror” Easter egg towards the end
Whoever thought of this, is a genius
He went hard before he died!!!
The voodoo doll that attacked Karen Black in a TV show. 8:41
Yes! Trilogy of Terror!
I saw that too. Nice Easter EGG
Zuni doll 👍
Dang! Beat me to it.
The guy finally defeated the toy army
**Toy Rambo approaching**
Hitman : "Why do I hear boss music?"
This is like the film "Small Soldiers" except more severe 😂😂
This got me wanting to play Hypercharge when I get home 😂
I was expecting the ballerina to be the last thing trying to kill him
I would run from that apartment so fast lol. As a little kid, I would love this movie.
being a writer i love the where is this going feeling...
Impressive 👏👏 I'd love an army like that.. they're so tiny nobody could see them.. bravo!
Seeing how the bullets & rockets react, I guess Godzilla & King Kong do get hurt.
When your childhood toys come back for revenge... literally!
This isnt the toy soldier movie i grew up on 😂
Toy Story: Rated R. Lmao!😂🤣😂

I remember when I was around 7 years old. This movie was on late at night while I was in bed. I was terrified of all my toys for months after.

This is how it feels to fight King Kong, but you’re King Kong 😂😂
Great recap as always❤
Movie name ?
1 night, the toys decided to takes revenge on Jason Renshaw.
The toy in the cabinet they destroyed i recognize it. That was the cannibal doll that came to life in Trilogy of Terror.
ooh man what a movie, awesome!
What is the name of this movie

Let's have a minutes silence for all those Little Green soldiers who have died to entertain kids everywhere!

Someone call Dr Bob and the SCP Foundation
Holy crap, the doll from Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black!!!😮😅❤
Homie was just attacked by magical toy soldiers and thinks it's a good idea to take the elevator
Heh...it's the Zuni doll from the similar "Trilogy of Terror" segment, "Amelia".
I thought This was a different toy soldier movie ( of course not Toy Story ) because the thumbnail is different from the assassin
For those who were wondering, this is the first episode from Stephen King’s Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
Can you imagine explaining that scenario to the police when they eventually turn up...
wait a minute... STAND!!!
That has to be the most embarrassing thing is getting you're ass kicked by toy soldiers.
What an amazing movie, right down to the "scale thermonuclear bomb". Yikes! But, pls, don't use random AI illustration pics, @MovieRecaps.

Is THiS a jOJo ReFereNCe?!
Was waiting for someone to say smth
Finally!
That was awesome!!!
Coulda sworn you already made this recap

@@faytleingod1851that's interesting I've been experiencing the same thing for the past 2weeks... strange
i wish these soldiers were able to buy, like a movie prop

I am so upset I never knew about this movie. So awesome and hilarious!
The soldiers' firepower is intense.
😂😂😂😂 he had better chance using towels and bedsheets then using a gun
11:28 🤣😭💀 SERVED!!!
the lightning in this movie is no ordinary!
they spent most of their effort in this I guess
FYI, the "Bayview" address at 2:52 isn't real: the zip code 94108 doesn't have any Bayview inside it.
So what's the background of these toys coming to live and who sent them to take revenge? That would have been nice to know.
This 12min was better than anything Hollywood has put out in years lol!
The thumbnail brought me here
Movie title?
“The fairy tale comes out to the little three sisters, causing it to exists the book so it reads it well.”
That’s funny. I can’t imagine watching the whole movie. This one case where a summary is better than the movie.
This is only an episode from an anthology TV series. It’s only roughly 45 mins long.
@@TalentCaldwell are all the episodes like this?
