Action Man figures were a toy sensation many, many years ago, and there was many variations showing all the different ranks and job roles in the armed forces—but this film from Veterans For Peace UK puts a somewhat darker spin on the popular figurine.

So includes Action Man doing drugs, committing suicide, in a wheelchair, and dead.
