Yep, destructive tendencies and too much free time equal one crazy movie. As an editor I do admire the work done to get the shots and the ad hock special effects.

That's exactly what it looked like to me when I was 8 years old! Way to go! The green army men manufacturer should use excerpts of that for a commercial! [sm=thumbup.gif]

Really great special effects but absolutely absurd as regards to equipment selected and used. I've seen tanks hit and burn, but never melted. Must have had tech assist from Tokyo or Shanghai. Looks like they had a field day assembling assorted old Roco tanks to make something for that film, and nothing they used fit a WW II scenario. M-1's, M-48 running backwards, WW I 75mm pushed uphill by 2 men and used as AT[:'(]

I passed this on to another forum that I infest, but most of them are too boring to even pass a comment.

I thought this video was absolutely bosting and deserves a good deal of praise for it's bare faced attempt to make people laugh. I didn't laugh at the original film, as most soldiers wouldn't. But this will bring some humour to a lot of soldiers lives who are in harms way, and only have humour as an escape from the rubbish they have to deal with on a day to day basis.

Full marks.

Well the props were disposable and he clearly used only one take for a lot of this.

I think all you naysayers and nitpickers are missing the point. This effort at filmmaking makes a lot from nothing. So the "army men" mostly used M16s, so what? I was inrigued by the way the camera moved in some shots. The swiveling heads on a lot of the figures was impressive too.

It was sad to see the tank go though, wasn't it?

I think if we were going to make a stab at it, using our own RC tanks as props, it would fall flat. I like the total reliance on low tech solutions.
