G.I. Joe Intro Mashup

G.I. Joe Intro Mashup
My attempt at improving upon the live-action G.I. Joe movies by infusing them with some classic 80's adrenalin!!
Leave some comments and let me know what you think.

[@tylerlarson7263]

The part with Cobra Commander flying away on the helicopter and saying "Cobra, Retreat! Retreat!". Perfect!

[@ShinAkuma76]

I’m glad you liked that. That was one aspect of the original opening that I wanted to make sure got the proper representation. 😊

[@scotlandghost]

This is LITERALLY what I was waiting for the whole time I watched the 2009 film. I was so worked up by the end of it that I didn't care if there were kids in the theater, all the patrons in that cinema heard somebody shriek in exasperation: 'Where's the f--king theme song, what kind of sh-tshow are they playing at?! This is an OUTRAGE!!!! OUTRAGE!!!!!!" ...looking back now, I realize that I was probably emulating Cobra Commander's tone and voice from this song. ...that explains the applause that followed....

[@ShinAkuma76]

Lol, that would have been a site to see! Yeah I agree, they needed more nods to the original cartoon and a remixed version of this song would have been epic!

[@davidsavage5630]

I have to admit...that shot of the Cobra banners dropping down over the front of the White House is probably visually the most true thing to the spirit of the 80s cartoon ever. That one shot captures the essence of what a GI Joe movie should be, so perfectly..

[@ShinAkuma76]

I agree. I also like how it sort of evokes the image of a Cobra's fangs and how having Zartan standing in as the President with Cobra running things in the background gives that government "teeth" for the first time.

[@davidsavage5630]

@@ShinAkuma76 Ok that's awesome...I didn't even think of that or catch it. I need to watch the second one again. There's an extended version on blu-ray that's supposed to be superior to the theatrical version. I think they're both kind of underrated. I enjoyed them much more than I thought I would. Although it frustrates me that they had THE perfect actor in the films for Destro....just not as Destro..

[@ShinAkuma76]

@@davidsavage5630 Agreed, Christopher Eccleston was a perfect casting and it even seemed like they were going to have him closer to the cartoon at the end of the first film and then they just drop him at the start of the second film. Yeah, I have both versions of the second movie and recently bought both films on 4K blu-ray.

[@davidsavage5630]

@@ShinAkuma76 Naw lol I meant that a better actor for Destro was in the movies but he wasn't Destro. Arnold Vosloo. The guy that played the Mummy. Am I crazy or would he have not be an INCREDIBLE Destro? That's just my opinion tbough..

[@ShinAkuma76]

@@davidsavage5630 oh, I see what you mean. Honestly, both actors could have filled that role. I liked Vosloo as Zartan, but he only had to actually play his role for brief moments lol.

[@ThatKiwiDudeTV]

These old movies aren't that bad. I just re-watched them

[@ShinAkuma76]

I personally prefer “Retaliation” over “Rise of Cobra” but yes the two movies are pretty decent.

[@kevingallagher188]

Seriously it's ridiculous that so many Joe fans hate the live action movies. So many of them say they want a realistic version of the characters when every army movie is usually written without any of the fantasy and science fiction elements G.i.joe has included for years. Plenty of films made for people who love that kind of story. Some are outstanding, but I want my G.I.Joe to be like the best Man from Uncle spy genre shows G.I.joe and S.h.e.i.l.d. were based on.

[@ShinAkuma76]

I think it has become one of the problems with a lot of different fandoms these days. Everyone wants to be an armchair director, screenwriter, actor, etc. and they forget just how much actually goes into making a film or tv show. It's fine to dislike a project because it doesn't match what you may remember, but to outright call it "trash" etc. because they didn't do it they way you wanted them to is a bit of a stretch. I think many fans forget that these projects aren't made only for them, they are made to bring in money from all sides, casuals and fans alike. No fandom on its own is truly big enough to completely justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make a film. These companies have to get the attention of the "normies" as well...

I prefer cobra commander with his helmet and faceplate instead of that stupid transparent mask he had in rise of cobra

[@ShinAkuma76]

I agree completely, that’s why I didn’t use any footage of him with that look.

[@elzorro5706]

Yeah, they totally blew the reveal. I was so disappointed. The suits were bad, but I could forgive them because they allowed the Joes to do all that cool shit we did with them when we were kids, but the way they botched Cobra Commander ruined the film for me.

[@TheLordUrban]

The trouble with the live action movies is that they didn't have enough lazors!

[@ShinAkuma76]

Yeah that would have been interesting!

[@RedHawkcardfan]

TheLordUrban imho the problem with the movie besides the "global heroes" was that gi Joe was a team and the movies overly focused on a few characters.

[@ShinAkuma76]

l That's also due to budget restraints and narrative. The first film was a little closer to the cartoon in that aspect. Also, more often than not, the original cartoon episodes would usually focus on a few characters for a story.

[@spacecat6022]

The real problem in the first movie is how they made Baroness be the poor hypnotized good girl and made the Cobra Commander her brother and some scientist of Destro when he is the founder of Cobra. I'm not really impressed with the portrayal of the bad guys in general in those movies (looks or personnalities). The second movie had all the Joes being killed (though it could look like Renegade) and the story was not too good. I honestly would have wished that they respected more the source of the material with the looks and personnalities so that we could say hey it's that vehicule or that character just by looking at them. Some were good but some...
