“Turbo Man”
Chapters 6 (Supply, Demand, and Government Policies) & 7 (Consumers, Producers, and the
Efficiency of Markets)
In this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpXKyo-ZeVI&t=54s) of “Jingle All
The Way”, a movie about a father trying to buy a Turbo Man action figure doll for his son, it
shows Arnold Schwarzenegger (the father) and Sinbad (the mailman) looking for the toy in a toy
store. In the clip, Arnold and Sinbad both walk into a store that is selling the Turbo Man doll but
as a lottery. This is a great movie to depict the economic concepts of supply and demand as well
