Jingle All the Way	comment	A 1996 Christmas-themed comedy film directed by Brian Levant and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, Jake Lloyd, Rita Wilson, Phil Hartman and Robert Conrad.Workaholic mattress salesman Howard Langston (Schwarzenegger) is a constant disappointment to his son Jamie (Lloyd). After missing his son's karate belt ceremony yet again, to compensate for his own Bumbling Dad nature, Howard decides he is going to get Jamie the toy he really wants for Christmas: the Turbo Man action figure. Unfortunately, the Turbo Man action figure is the hot toy of the season and is in short supply, and Howard has waited until Christmas Eve before trying to find one. Subsequently, he finds himself competing with crazed mailman Myron Larabee (Sinbad) and massive crowds of other parents to get the same toy. What follows is a comedy of errors as both men race to get the toy.This film features the last comedic role for Ah-nold, and one of the last for Sinbad. It was based on the holiday crazes for both Cabbage Patch Kids dolls and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers toys. Coincidentally, it also came out the same year the Tickle Me Elmo craze started.A Direct to Video "sequel" was released in 2014, starring Larry the Cable Guy.

Jingle All the Way / int_1288367c	comment	Hero Stage Show: Howard's quest to find a Turbo Man doll for his son culminates in him accidentally being cast as Turbo Man (with a fully functional costume including jetpack) at a Christmas parade. Unfortunately, crazed postal worker Myron invades the show as Turbo Man's nemesis, Dementor, leading to a slapstick battle.

Jingle All the Way / int_141f6a73	comment	Artistic License â€“ Martial Arts: During the Karate session, the boys are promoted from Yellow Belt to Purple Belt, which doesn't happen in Karate gradings of any style. In Goju Ryu, Karate Orange comes after yellow. In Shotokan, Karate Green comes after Yellow (and before purple). Students do graduate from yellow to purple belt in Tae Kwon Do, but since the movie explicitly states that it's a karate promotion, it's still incorrect.

Howard, both out of desperation and being pissed at Ted, breaks in and tries to steal it during the third act. Howard reminisces early on how he once made a treehouse for Jamie in the backyard (although his craftsmanship was pretty lacking, but Jamie loved it nevertheless). Once he's reached the Despair Event Horizon on the third act, Howard looks out the window and sees the treehouse and decides that he has to at least try one more time to look good in his son's eyes, and so he goes to the parade, setting up the climax. When Howard tries to apologize to Jamie, he is making a drawing. Howard later sees the finished drawing at the clubhouse. Jamie's karate lessons helps him defend against Myron in the climax.

Moreover, they should easily recognize his voice, but they don't. His voice is said to be modulated to sound more like Turbo Man's real actor - although his accent is still pretty unmistakable, and the modulation is pretty minor. Earlier in the film, when the mall Santa's black market counterfeit toy operation is raided by police while Howard is there, he prevents himself from being arrested by holding up a toy police badge and claiming that he is an undercover cop. The police chief overseeing the raid buys it and lets Howard go.

Liz is pretty bad with this as she not only gave Howard the task of buying the doll in the first place, but then waited until the last second to confirm if he did. Knowing Howard was a workaholic even before Christmas, it's pretty baffling that Liz would've given him the responsibility and then waited just before Christmas to double check if he did what she wanted.

Jingle All the Way / int_875615dd	comment	Truth in Television: At the same time that the film was in theaters (the 1996 Christmas season), there was a massive craze for the Tickle Me Elmo doll. There were numerous reported incidents of crazed parents in massive crowds trampling and fighting each other to buy the doll as a Christmas gift for their kids, in scenes not too different than the films' depictions of massive crowds of parents vying for Turbo Man dolls. Additionally, the film depicts a toy store clerk getting trampled as a crowd makes their way into the store after they first open; On December 14, 1996, a Canadian Wal-Mart employee was trampled and severely injured after a crowd spotted him handling a box of Tickle Me Elmo dolls. Also, the Power Rangers toys, which Turbo Man parodies. At the time the Power Rangers series began, no one had ever seen anything like it, and there was a general consensus that it would fail miserably. As a result, most of the major retailers didn't bother with much of the merchandise, which was bought up by smaller, independent retailers instead. Hence, when the show became a hit, stores were woefully understocked, leading to a huge craze during the holidays. To this day, the incident appears in marketing textbooks to illustrate issues of supply and demand.

Jingle All the Way / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: What little is seen of the Turbo Man show and the overall hatred people have of Booster seems to indicate he's a declaration of hatred against useless sidekick characters shoved into TV shows for no other reason than to appeal to kids, sell merchandise, and act as obnoxious comic relief. Given no one wants the Booster dolls available and a group of kids openly attack the Booster actor at the parade, you can see tell the writers are not fond of this mindset at all.

Same can be said about Myron and Jamie, as they both don't like being disappointed by the parental figures in their life. Howard even has an Imagine Spot, picturing Jamie as Myron.

Jingle All the Way / int_cf511248	comment	All Part of the Show: The climactic confrontation pits Howard as Turbo Man against Myron as Turbo Man's nemesis Dementor in a mock battle during the Christmas parade. The danger turns real as Howard's son Jamie gets involved, and ends up hanging by his fingers off the top of a building. Subverted by Howard's wife Liz, who realizes her son isn't supposed to be a part of this, and the cops who arrest Myron after the fact. When Myron appears and makes a decidedly rude greeting to the audience, one of the newscasters turns to his partner and confusingly asks if that was in the script. Since Myron was bound with cheap-looking rope instead of actual handcuffs, with his hands tied in front of him rather than behind, it suggests that he isn't really being arrested; Dementor's "capture" could have been the show's intended climax. His own Paper-Thin Disguise must have kept the officers from recognizing him as the mailman bomber, or else he would have gotten far more severe treatment, (though he does end up having half a dozen very real guns pointed at him).
