Watch: Jackboots on Whitehall 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – World War II: What if Nazis seized London and all of England had to band together? When scarily campy Nazi leaders invade by drilling under the English Channel and up through the cobblestones on Whitehall, Churchill leaves his quiet retirement with a cat that looks like Hitler to issue a call to arms from his bunker under Downing Street. Chris, a young farm worker with large hands, rallies the village to fight the good fight — including an alcoholic Vicar, the oldest man in the town, several idiots, a random Frenchman and Bobby Fiske, a swearing American who believes he’s battling Russia. The world’s future is in their tiny plastic hands. Innovative puppeteering animatronics from Scottish brothers Edward and Rory McHenry combine with the larger-than-life voices of Ewan McGregor, Alan Cumming, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall and Richard E. Grant..
Plot: A satirical alternative history of World War II where the Nazis seize London and England must band together to prevent a full on invasion.

Backs to the wall, but freedom will prevail
The credits at the end said ‘Many puppets were harmed during the making of this film’ which is certainly true. It’s hard to describe this film, a bit like a mix of Team America (but these aren’t marionettes), and a whole bunch of war films, I loved spotting the references from everything from Zulu to Apocalypse Now. There’s a love story, the Hollywood style inclusion of an American, Billy Fiske, taking a main part (Tom Cruise wanted to do this in a proposed film ‘The Few’ about the real Billy Fiske). I loved it and gave it 8 stars, but will it be you’re cup of tea? I don’t know but hopefully there’ll be plenty more reviews to guide you and explain this film better than me before it’s released.
what was I watching?
I’ve no idea. Was it supposed to be a British attempt at Team America? If it was it was truly abysmal, 30 mins in and I realised I hadn’t laughed or even chuckled once. At least Team America was brave in that it set out to ridicule everyone involved. For example Team America used a modern day scenario, and took the rise out of the liberal Hollywood elite – or what would be our ‘luvvies’ The problem is this lame attempt was voiced over by these very same luvvies, so that was out of the question. So what did they do, played safe and set it WW2 and had the Nazis,Hitler & Himmler as the fall guys AGAIN. I wouldn’t mind but it wasn’t even clever or witty let alone groundbreaking. I ended up fast forwarding it after 40 mins, it was that bad. If you chuckled at Team America then avoid this guff like the plague.
