* RobotGirl: A reveal later on in the movie.

--> "Well, either way we're going to get letters from the Royal Family. I don't like it."

* HeyItsThatGuy: Besides the antagonist being [[HarryPotter Dumbledore Mk. II]], [[TheJamieFoxxShow Jamie Foxx]] plays one of his underlings and [[TheSimpsons Yeardly Smith]] plays a novelties researcher.

* HamAndCheese: Michael Gambon is clearly having the time of his life.

* PunctuatedPounding: "I! WILL! NOT! LET! YOU! DESTROY! DAD'S! DREAM!"

* ShoutOut: "'''[[TheDayTheEarthStoodStill KLAATU BARADA NIKTO!!!]]'''"

* WhyWereBummedCommunismFell

* HeyItsThatGuy: Besides the antagonist being [[HarryPotter Dumbledore Mk. II]], JamieFoxx plays a lunchroom chef and [[TheSimpsons Yeardly Smith]] plays a novelties researcher.

''Toys'' was a surreal 1992 comedy directed, co-written, and co-produced by Barry Levinson. Supposedly it was the film he had always wanted to make, but the film was generally not well received by either critics or audiences. It starred Robin Williams as Leslie Zevo, a man who gets passed up for the inheritance of the toy factory and company of his father [[TheCameo Donald O'Connor]] despite his dedication because he has never really grown up himself. Instead O'Connor leaves the factory to his brother General Leland (Michael Gambon). This turns out to be a bad move, since the general and his camouflage-obsessed son Patrick ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer LL Cool J]]) soon bring martial law to the factory and even start planning to use toys as secret war machines.

* MyLittlePanzer: The film focused on the new owner of a toy factory switching production to toy tanks and helicopters armed with real weapons he meant to sell to the military. He also starts a videogame division to get kids into violence in order to have future soldiers.

* TheWallsAreClosingIn: There's a non-lethal parody where RobinWilliams's character and others find themselves in a room that keeps getting smaller as square sections of wall close in one at a time.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Leland Zevo sports Michael Gambon's British accent, despite the rest of the family being as American as applie pie. This is {{Handwave}}d in an early scene.
