Small Soldiers	comment	Small Soldiers is a 1998 action/comedy film directed by Joe Dante, best known for his work on the Gremlins franchise.The plot begins at the Heartland Toy Company, a conglomerate that gets swallowed up by GloboTech Industries, an organization that deals primarily in high-tech military hardware. The members of the board of Heartland deduce that implanting military AI chips into their newest set of action figures would grant kids a more interactive experience; however in doing so, manage to grant the two lines (the Commando Elite and their enemies, the Gorgonites) literal intelligence. The Gorgonites have a pacifist mindset while the Commandos are basically of the warmongering variety, who will stop at nothing to destroy the Gorgonite scum, and anyone who allies with them. Their battle takes place in suburbia, where young Alan Abernathy (Gregory Smith) befriends the Gorgonites due to his being left in charge of his father Stuart's (Kevin Dunn) toy shop, and he vows to help them achieve their goal before the Commando Elite can find and take them apart. He gets help from his neighbor and love interest Christy Fimple (Kirsten Dunst).The film also stars Jay Mohr as Larry Benson, Phil Hartman (in his final role) as Phil Fimple, David Cross as Irwin Wayfair, Ann Magnuson as Irene Abernathy, Denis Leary as Gil Mars, Frank Langella as Archer and Tommy Lee Jones as Chip Hazard.Not to be confused with Toy Soldiers. Or the trope Child Soldiers, for that matter.

Small Soldiers / int_1c445e86	comment	There's also a Poor Communication Kills variation. In a way, this trope also applies to Archer when he tries to warn Alan that the Commandos would attack the Gorgonites. As such, his warning only comes in the form of "Beware, there will be no mercy", which Alan mistakes as either a catchphrase or a low-key threat. It's only the next day that Alan sees the store wrecked and the action figures missing that he belatedly understands what Archer was trying to tell him.

Small Soldiers / int_237404cc	comment	Ironic Echo: "Way to stay heads up". Stuart first says this to Alan when the latter finds out he left his ticket at the shop, to which Alan raced home and handed it over before his business trip. However, there's an undertone that Stuart doesn't truly think Alan is capable. Later, Alan says this to Archer when the Abernathy and Fimple families are being attacked by the Commandos and Archer points out the electrical pole needed to generate the electromagnetic pulse to defeat the Commandos. Unlike his father, he means it. Meaningful Echo: Alternatively, father and son's "Way to stay heads up" line is meant to low-key show how Archer has become Alan's charge just as much as he's his father's charge. "Everything else is just a toy." Gil Mars first brings it up as a potential slogan for the Commando Elite, meant to sound better than most toys. It's next said when Major Chip Hazard declares that the collective human cast are now considered "Gorgonites" as well. The slogan has becomes the Major's ominous justification for killing both the Gorgonites and their human allies. "There will be no mercy." This is more-or-less Major Chip Hazard's dying words between the EMP blast and being electrocuted. What is normally his and the Commandos' battle cry becomes ironic, as it reflects how their collective lack thereof mercy has cost them greatly.

In fact all of the Commandos have heroic personalities as brave, dedicated soldiers — which is half the problem since they just don't give up. The rest of the Commandos are visibly horror-struck when Chip Hazard pulls off Nick Nitro's head and removes his processor — his brain. One of them admits to being ready to vomit.

The Gorgonites may look grotesque and monstrous, but were designed to be peaceful explorers who want to return to their homeland. Meanwhile, the Commando Elite may look like humans, but are violent and actively live to kill the Gorgonites. Most prominent is between Archer and Major Chip Hazard during their final confrontation. Archer (if crossly) has it in him to address the Major by his full name and title, indicating honor and respect. Major Chip Hazard, on the other hand, only calls Archer the "Gorgonite Scum", showing he refuses to think of Archer as an equal. At one point, Archer demonstrates the humility to point out he and the Major are cut from the same cloth, while his opponent shoots down this idea.

Small Soldiers / int_673b2da6	comment	Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: the X-1000 microchips make any machine they're installed into sapient. It enhances any programming to it's limit, and then begins learning how to do its job better. Its creator is actually offended when Irwin asks him if that means that he (the scientist) cracked AI, snapping "No. Actual intelligence." When added to the animatronic soldiers and monster toys, they become nearly human. The fact that the Gorgonites don't blow a fuse when they win (they'd been programmed to lose) proves that it's extremely adaptable.

Small Soldiers / int_7c77081d	comment	Language Equals Thought: Mixed with a truly subtle bit of foreshadowing: Initially, they plan to market the Commando Elite with the slogan "Anything else is just a toy", but more of that In-Universe Executive Meddling changes that to "Everything else is just a toy". As a result, when the Commando Elite become sentient, they can freely attack human beings, as their worldview is that everything else around them is part of their programmed conflict. There's also a Poor Communication Kills variation. In a way, this trope also applies to Archer when he tries to warn Alan that the Commandos would attack the Gorgonites. As such, his warning only comes in the form of "Beware, there will be no mercy", which Alan mistakes as either a catchphrase or a low-key threat. It's only the next day that Alan sees the store wrecked and the action figures missing that he belatedly understands what Archer was trying to tell him.

What is normally his and the Commandos' battle cry becomes ironic, as it reflects how their collective lack thereof mercy has cost them greatly.

When he mentions that the injuries sustained (having his hands taped to the steering wheel, and his mouth taped shut) may not be covered by his job's health insurance, Mars' secretary gives him a check, and the driver happily gets to work. When Mr. Fimple demands to know that Mars will do about the damages to his house, Mars' secretary hands him a check. When Mr. Abernathy declaes he doesn't have enough money to cover the emotional trauma that his family suffered, the secretary hands him a check and he responds: "okay, maybe you do."

But at what point does it become a good idea to take military hardware, stuff it into your toy, and then to completely skip the safety testing for the sake of time and not think that shit is going to completely hit the fan? Larry is pretty much called an idiot by multiple characters in the movie. In the part about the toys' creation it's clear that he doesn't even realize that the AI chips are military hardware; he did a search for what the company had in stock and just grabbed the most powerful chip available.
