The only bad thing that comes out of watching this is the heartbreak that I suffer from knowing that animated Gi Joe productions, with big budget backing, pale in comparison to this fantastic piece of work!

[@gazz_N7]

Prefecto!! I swear these just keep getting better and better! 10 out of 10, well done! Especially love the Great Wall shots and the snow shots!! 😁 YO JOBERG!!!!

[@John-lp4fy]

Love it the 1988 Snake Eyes amazing

[@andrewgrant2990]

This was amazing & will be in the back of my mind as a "prequel" the next time I watch the animated movie. I thought it was a great touch to have the line about Jinx's hands red with blood & to see the paint wear on them! Excellent job again. And until Snake-Eyes becomes a mime in the Arbco circus, make mine GI Joburg!

[@gijoburg]

Make Mine GI Joburg! Ha! First time we’ve had the old Marvel rallying cry! Thanks Andrew!

[@magnuslauglo5356]

I am loving this SO much. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@bccoulombe]

My youngest is going to want to watch this 20 times...... while playing along with his joes.

[@gijoburg]

Now that’s an earnest compliment! Wow. Always lovely to hear that youngsters can still play imaginatively with toys.

[@samuelfawley646]

I just purchased my loose vintage G.I.Joe figures of Snowjob and Iceberg and I put them on my Snowcat with Frostbite! I also have Mainframe, Sci-Fi, and Lifeline on my Snowcat as well!

[@yorktownjoe]

Excellent work as always! Some Johnny Douglas background music always blends in well with Paul's. Gives it that animated vibe and ties chase scenes together so well.

[@littlewookiee7780]

Just like that snow this was cool and crisp! Well done you guys 👍

[@philliportiz9320]

Great work guys... awesome locations

[@lazarus30001]

You work the character development the tv series never did; giving a story and a motivation to the men and women of action.

[@gijoburg]

And I could never abide by Bazooka being a buffoon. Totally at odds with the man’s filecard. And that cool Tom Selleck mustache... Thanks so much for the awesome comments. Really great to hear em.

[@lazarus30001]

@@gijoburg You present Bazooka as a Joe to be reckoned with. I'd be proud to have him on my fire team.

[@gijoburg]

An expert in things that go boom. Definitely an asset.

[@dereklarner6298]

The upside down shot reminds me of the climax of Leon when Jean Reno takes out the first guys through the door when they attack his apartment.

[@gijoburg]

I probably was thinking of that on some level when I shot it!

[@justinparks1638]

Awesome work guys! Never stop never stopping, YOOOOOO JOE!!

Orphan Annie! My oldest daughter is Annie in her middle school production of the musical. She walks around the house belting out, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I luv ya tomorrow, your are always a daaaaaay awaaaaaayy" I selfishly wish she would stay this age forever ;-)

[@erichunter846]

My god! I've only watched 2:48 of this so far..and the cinematography is FANTASTIC!! What a cinematic genius you are!!!

[@corneilusmcgillicuddy]

The cinematography is the best part of these series, especially when they do a chance sequence.

[@peterang78]

Still missed the old, dumb bazooka, but still, a perfect video sooooo far.

[@IndianToyCollector]

Wow 😍 shot in multiple countries! Awesome! Yojoe !

[@ms.D35TR0]

Noticed Ice Berg's knee joints are loose. I'm beginning to think it's a manufacturing defect because my brother's IB is also loose, same goes to 2 of my friends'. LOL. Awesome work! Thank you for making and sharing this.

[@gijoburg]

Could be, could be. Though in the case of the particular Iceberg used I’d say age and play were factors - I always insist on using my childhood collection where possible and Iceberg was definitely one of the first three GI Joe figures I got waaaay back at the age of four!

[@jordel2010]

Great as always. Loved the quote at the end of the credits 👏👍

[@diannelinam2407]

First rate work! I am enjoying the episodes and how immersive they are! I especially enjoyed the Chinese aspect and a remarkably tourist free day! Thanks all for such highly enjoyable episodes!! Hello from Tennessee.

[@gijoburg]

Would you believe it was covered in tourists? I just picked my moments and edited around people. Pretty much all those shots, if extended a frame later, you’d see a bright red puffer jacket or seven!

[@gijoburg]

And I love Tennessee! The Joburg team visited your state in 2018!

[@sharkinator1]

Loved how you zoomed in on snow job when he makes the final shot cenamatography masterpiece

[@gijoburg]

Thanks Mark! Yeah man, so inspired by 80s action movies. We should have gotten a Joe flick in THAT decade.

[@darrencobb5036]

Pure gold as always! Watching them clear the office block all I could think of was Storm Shadows line from when he assaulted the Cobra Consulate building in New York "Firing without aiming is stupid, but messing with a ninja is worse...... and usually fatal" and I do wonder if Rock n Roll ever did have that ice cream date with Gung ho's model sister ;) until the next time YO JOE burg!

[@gijoburg]

As always Darren, your recollection of Joe tales is unparalleled! Thanks buddy. And yeah, what a random introduction to Snow Job back in issue 11... but it’s worthy of canonizing I’d say. The beardy pimp!

[@jthomos21]

OMG that was an awesome job! Great story!!!

[@markm4033]

Awesome as always. Love the story telling! No need for special effects, when you have great story telling. Great use of scenery, lighting and great camera shots, especially behind the Vipers in the beginning.

[@gijoburg]

Hehe! Broke out my old strobe light for that rooftop stuff. Didn’t look too bad in the old end!

[@markm4033]

The Snow Cat was used! 😁 Great storytelling guys, I really enjoyed this video! 😎

[@gijoburg]

Indeed! Finally found some suitable environments! Thanks Snowcatron!

[@dragonslayercash3055]

Loved how you made the viper guards seem more human than faceless bullet sponges

[@gijoburg]

Cheers. Tho it didn’t stop them being cut down sadly. Snake Eyes is ruthless; I think it’s important to show that he’s pretty scary if not on your side... but yes, all those Vipers are people with pasts and thoughts and feelings and while you don’t get much time with them, it’s important to leave you with the impression of three-dimensionality.

[@joshuawall9034]

I believe that's the file card holder panel from the HQ doubling as the conference table. Nice! Great video!

[@gijoburg]

And you would be right! I loved the unique shape of it and the extra angles it gives the men at the head and tail to position their “briefing stuff”.

[@westerncivilization]

WOW you gentlemen are doing fantastic work. Great technique with the IRL backgrounds.

[@gigashock237wilde3]

Great work! Can't wait for more. 😊😎

Thanks so much another great installment with my favorite Joe team figure of the toyline. That lady in red!!!

[@TheLordUrban]

Steeler said yinz! Your attention to detail knows no bounds.

[@gijoburg]

Thanks! Though I got lucky there, got a good friend from Pittsburgh and he insisted we put it in. Still, anybody writing GI Joe would be foolish not to acquaint themselves with the Filecard info. That stuff is a character goldmine.

[@allangrant1326]

Well done 🙌

[@brandonkeisler86]

Wow those POV shots are so immersive. Great job! We can only hope the Snake Eyes movie will be half as good as this. This series deserves a BLU RAY release!!!

[@gijoburg]

Haha! You’re gonna battle to squeeze any extra resolution out of my modest camera for that Blu-ray. And POV shots are my fave cheat! No need to get old toys to stand up straight and “walk natural”. I swear I’ve POV’ed on all of these lil features!

[@mikesmith2718]

Attention to detail was amazing I live a half hour from Pittsburgh which is where Steeler is from and the accent was on point and he even threw in a yinz lol love these and I can't wait to see more filming back in South Africa even tho this was an amazing location

[@gijoburg]

Thanks so much Mike. Yep, by now you know exactly who offered his voice for our premier tanker. And shooting in SA is a dream, you’re right. It offers a lot of great scenery. Gotta stop my globe trotting, and perhaps recent events will force me to? Time will tell...

I seriously can't believe some of the shots that you filmed during this story. I stayed around for the credits and was amazed at some of the locations you filmed in for this. I once thought taking my star wars action figures to Mexico was a one off. You sir have redefined toy play to an international level. YO JOE.....burg!

[@TotuusElokuvasta]

I love the way you pay a homage to the original comics (about Gung-Ho’s sister).

[@gijoburg]

To be fair, I think it’s the only layer the comics gave to ol Snow Job! Not a character Mr Hama spent much more time beneath the surface with. But any nugget I get from the comics I’ll use!

[@TotuusElokuvasta]

@@gijoburg That’s the only way to go :) Nice work, by the way. Looking for rhe next mission!

[@christopherlacher3544]

Another great video guys. Love the use of mirrors in the scenes with the Crimson Twins in this and the last video. Nice nod to the way they were packaged. Hope that was the intention.

[@gijoburg]

You’re absolutely right Chris, it is a nod to the original packaging. Plus it’s just such a retro supervillain thing to have a full length mirror-wall I reckon. And those boys strike me as being more than a little obsessed with their appearances!

[@jasetraber]

ENCORE!

[@koolrgap5578]

What a spot on way to close the Bad Luck Lady series. I loved it. #Yojoeburg

[@Tr0nzoid]

It boggles my mind how you're able to get these good shots with toys, and after writing a good script and carrying all those toys around.

[@impossiblepie]

Love Jinx, love the figure design and costume.

Sweet! Always felt we needed a bit more backstory tho… how did she become a GI Joe?! Which was the catalyst for this series. Plus an excuse to get my wife to voice her!

as i'm watching this fantastic video i keep thinking what do the people think when they see you running around all the locations playing with toys ? lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gijoburg]

I’m pretty sure I was observed very closely by a plain-clothes Chinese Law Enforcement Officer in one sequence. So sometimes suspicion. But it always gives way to enthusiasm when they figure out what I’m doing. I’ve got a great pic of me taking a pic of three Chinese tourists taking a pic of Snow Job!

[@Mundane05]

I like it because fire is not supposed to be cold. Also is it wrong of me that despite continuity I was hoping for the cool infiltrator to be Shipwreck, and then when the general was going on about an olympic-class athlete, survivalist and super con-man I immediately thought "Shipwreck!"?

I like the hint of Bruce Lee that I hear in Quick Kick’s vocals.

[@gijoburg]

Gotta do it. I tried the Sunbow approach, it wasn’t the right fit for a Hong Kong cinema undercover agent. BUUUT that Sunbow approach did worm its way into “Snakebite”. Thought Corbra’s vid played into those bold character sounds.

[@dereklarner6298]

GI Joburg Would you do Shipwreck as Nicholson? That’s tricky to pull off, but I would never put it past your crew to performers to pull it off!

[@gijoburg]

That would be the aim. But I don’t think I could do him any better than my attempts in Atlantis Factor!

[@gijoburg]

On the topic of QK hacking Bruce Lee, I was worried there would be some backlash, like the Bruce Lee appearance in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood; but I think after seeing it done there I was like: “I gotta do it”.
