I once saw another movie whith almost the exact same story. The ony
difference were the fact that it contained far more violence, and it was made for a older audience.

I don't remember the title! It might be "toy soldiers"..
Enybody got any ideas?

You are correct sir....sorry just listened to the Ed Mcmahon comedy bit from Norm Mcdonald...but anyway yes Masterminds is the PG-13 version of Toy Soldiers with Sean Astin and Louis Gossett Jr, anyone got an idea when this is hitting DVD?

I don't think it is, but I sincerely hope that it will release as a DVD.

Actually it's more like Die Hard for kids.

I own this on VHS because it's been my favorite action packed movie for kids. I've always thought it was a Die Hard for kids type movie. But hey, Die Hard was my favorite movie when I was 7 (yes, 7!) and I still love it to this day.

No, you're thinking of "Demolition High," which leaves both this crap and Toy Soldiers in the dust.

This film and toy soldiers are both based on the novel called toy soldiers by william p kennedy
