    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Ray Park was nervous about wearing the ninja suit and asked to practice with it at home so that he could be comfortable with it. He found the suit (composed solely of rubber with a metal visor) like wearing a rubber band, and had to put effort into moving in it.
    • Goofs
      While cleaning up "The Pit", just before Snake Eyes' 20-year flashback, one Joe sweeps trash into the shovel of a second Joe, who immediately dumps it on the ground.
    • Quotes

      Heavy Duty: [about handling the accelerator suits] Careful. They're worth millions of dollars each.

      Ripcord: [in a suit] Millions of dollars. Got it.

      [falls out of the van]

      Heavy Duty: [annoyed] Jesus.

      Ripcord: My bad. My bad. Won't happen again!

      [Ripcord gets run over by a car]

    • Crazy credits
      Part of the closing credits appear on a giant metal G.I. Joe logo. Visible on this logo are other military logos, including old G.I. Joe stickers, the US flying stars, and the G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 (2005) Sigma 6 designation.

    Good for what it is
    I watched this film last night and luckily I had no high expectations. As a fan of the G.I Joe toys when I was a kid (back then they where called Action Force) I had a good idea of the characters and story before hand. I am glad to say this film stayed true to most of the original concepts with a few tweaks for the better here and there.

    Go see this film if you want to see a fun action film full of special effects and doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Don't go and see this film if you are an uptight, unhappy film critic that spends too much time highlighting plot holes and acting because that's not what this film is about. It's more of a roller-coaster ride. Fast, furious and just fun.

    FAQ8

    • Is this connected to Michael Bay's "Transformers" movies?
    • Why is Storm Shadow working for Cobra? Isn't he a Joe?
    • Why doesn't Snake Eyes speak?
