That is Flame Bait now due to a TRS decision.


** '''Implementation:''' This duel is thanks to an infamous spat on Disney-distributed ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' between Creator/GeneSiskel and Creator/RogerEbert; Siskel had given his approval to ''FMJ'' while Ebert gave it a Thumb's Down with a 2.5 star rating, while praising ''Benji'' with his highest rating after Siskel panned the film. This prompted Siskel to [[HePannedItNowHeSucks lay into Ebert]], a moment that got a ShoutOut on ''The Critic''. Also, Disney is somewhat tied to ''FMJ'' as well as ''BTH''; the name "WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse" is mentioned at the end of both of ''FMJ's'' major settings, plus Mickey and Minnie figurines are part of a background set in the film's second half and the film's soldiers sing "The Mickey Mouse Club March" to close the film.
