Goofs

During the awards ceremony, Lady Jaye's hair is flowing around the top of her uniform. Military appearance standards dictate that the woman's hair is to be pulled back and up, either under the military cover (beret, cap, etc) or neatly tied up so that it is off the collar of the uniform.

User Reviews

I regret spending money on this and losing 2 hrs of sleep for this

all the other reviews said it all. so ill keep it short and sweet. Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.

the execs held this film back because the original competition would have blown the Joe's outta the water and they want to profit as much as possible.

i felt ripped off. i will put as many bad reviews as possible everywhere i can since this was such a low budget low quality film that will possibly kill the franchise. the execs only cared about making money off of a name. because clearly the writers never saw the first film and damn sure never saw the cartoon or had any experience writing films
