G.I. Joe: The Fall of Cobra (Fan Film)

From director André Joseph of ITN Distribution’s VENDETTA GAMES and Michael Schiavo of Hamster Pellet Productions comes the short fan film inspired by the classic Hasbro toy line and Marvel Comics animated series, G.I. JOE: THE FALL OF COBRA. Set after the events of 1987’s G.I. JOE: THE MOVIE, a recovering Duke sends Stalker, Scarlett, and Snake-Eyes on an unsanctioned mission to Cobra Island where they confront a newly revived Cobra Commander along with Destro and the Baroness. We didn’t just make this for experimentation. We did it for the love of Joe and what we aspired the Hollywood movies to be even on a shoestring budget.
Starring Diamond Harding as Stalker, Erin Marie Adams as Scarlett, Kidd Jeanmary as Snake-Eyes, Mako San as Destro, Kathryn Mary Wood as the Baroness, Albert Albanese III as Mainframe, and Michael Schiavo as Duke & Cobra Commander.

*2:45** NICE ONE, I LOVE THAT YOU RESPECT THE FACT THAT SNAKE EYES TALKS USING SIGN LANGUAGE*

[@Cyril29a]

I never read the comics. Is that canon in them?

[@Thraka5]

This here is the reason I love fan films. Made by fans who care more about source material then the hollywood. I hope there are more to come!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thanks Jon! We're thinking about it!

[@guitarfan84]

i love the fight sequence. finally some movie grappling i can relate to

[@amazon2596]

Destro has the biggest weapons in the world and is fighting with electra knife. Cobra commander has the full power over the army and he is fighting with a piece of wood!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Cobra was operating on a budget on a Tuesday lol

[@lamartherevenger]

Perfect use of Johnny Douglass' score! Well done!!

[@ArcTrooperRod-269]

THX A LOT FOR BRING THIS BEAUTIFUL WORK TO US, SINCE HASBRO DENIES TO GIVE US MORE G.I. JOE CONTENT, I'M HAPPY THAT THE FANS ARE MAKING THEIR OWN

[@Blotzwave]

Every word of what you just said was 100% spot on.

[@foxglove9]

That Baroness was great. This was oozing NYC all over, and I loved it.

[@katyw8201]

🫶🏼 thank you

[@theronmitchell3073]

Awesome loved how you used the old music and that you used three of my favorite joes

[@AJEpyxProductions]

I'm glad you like it. I always thought Stalker was underutilized in the cartoon. Had to make him front and center here.

[@JamesTagumasiJr]

Very cool and super fun! Great Fan Film...there's some really nice shots, some enjoyable script, and solid work by all involved here. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottycameron5937]

Great fan film. Liked the characterization and portrayals of the characters. I also like that Stalker's costume has the Ranger Corps Logo on it underneath the GI Joe logo.

[@finalfactionzone7]

Great Job Guy's. BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL MOVIE.

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thank you so much!

[@ghremixofficial]

Baroness' acting was so great :) loved it!!!

[@mrtoon2000]

Snake Eyes is super happy that Duke is finally out the picture. Now for a classified mission with Scarlett.😁

[@AJEpyxProductions]

😁

[@robnotarfrancesco3673]

Love Scarlett

[@lucasalejaga1175]

I think Paramount should hire real fans to create solid and faithful G.I. Joe films.

[@Essex__]

More G.I. Joe please!

[@TheGeekViper]

Diamond NAILED it as Stalker! I didn't know that was Mainframe, I thought it was Breaker 😂 Only thing I would suggest to make it better is have Cobra Commander and Destro come back in and do some ADR. Having some nice clear dialog would go a long way to improving the viewer experience. 🤓👍

[@AJEpyxProductions]

That's a very fair critique and thank you!

[@aworldapart-yn5zu]

Baroness outfit was killer! Nice job to the cast/crew.

[@katyw8201]

🥰🫶🏼💚 this was for you!

[@terrancechilds3049]

I am a huge fan of gi joe and I can't wait to see more of this

[@kjpphotography4764]

This feels more like a GI Joe film then the live action films we got from Paramount.

[@AJEpyxProductions]

That truly means a lot and made our day. We wanted to get as close as we could to something the Hollywood movies never captured.

[@ArcTrooperRod-269]

G.I. JOE MOVIES ARE MASTERPIECES, SPECIALLY RETALIATION

[@Blotzwave]

@ArcTrooperRod-269 HEY I RECOGNIZE THIS GUY! 100% agree of course, RoC & Retaliation were incredible! Retaliation gets bonus points for that Cobra Comander design.

[@SniffHeinkel]

It's the truth.

[@andrewlex2240]

Reeal Scarlett is Really Beautiful I Think I Fall In LOVE Her...

[@efrempeters8237]

Wow this was well put together very dope🔥🔥🔥

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Great job! I can’t imagine how much work it took to make this. Yo Joe.

[@rickcrotts6673]

Apparently muzzle discipline goes out the door when one becomes a Joe...

[@hankmessaros6700]

I liked this so much that subscribed to see what's next and to look what's been done... Great job

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thanks for the sub! Yes we're considering a follow-up!

[@johnkrainyk1026]

It's not bad Hollywood changes the way we seen gijoe this is pretty good

[@jamesramirez348]

OMG! This is awesome thank you guts

[@the_flyattractor8656]

Gotta Love how Fans with Technically NO Money, and Home Computers can do Better than Billion Dollard Studios! Yo Joe!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@thephotoviper]

Stalker shoulda been in charge since sunbow, in my opinion...🙂

[@katyw8201]

This was awesome!!!!

[@teslasuperdestinations]

looks like you had fun making!

[@andrewandrew4568]

Really fun stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kasualtoycollector]

This is really cool! nice work!

[@raymondyee2008]

So I see it picks up where “GI Joe The Movie” left off.

[@aiwaloki]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@pdkup]

Hey, I recognize that building at the beginning. That’s Nauticus.

[@AJEpyxProductions]

We wanted to get real footage of the actual base that inspired the comic. But there were filming restrictions. So we resorted to stock footage.

[@pdkup]

@@AJEpyxProductions That’s understandable. I was just surprised to see footage of the museum pop up randomly

[@jonathanjader5842]

Stalker tell Scarlet to point that thing down range lol.

[@kennethdemuchest3985]

From an old Gijoe fan . Great Job 👍🪖

[@alexstone3822]

I LIKE THIS.

[@screwyourfeelings]

Damn this was good. You made me smile . Like this as cannon better than Operation Dragonfire. Bringing in the OG team of Stalker & Snake Eyes is a big plus & the music. Never watched the live action movies because I never wanted to ruin my memory. Great for nostalgia but also good enough for the adults of us who still loves G.I. Joe. Watched it on my computer, going to watch again on the tv with popcorn. Glad I watched this. Yo Joe!!!!✊

[@fatboosh81]

Good job Andre

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thanks Boosh!

[@CoreyRossArt]

I....applaud your effort. perhaps watch Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch to get ideas for making ultra low budget movies. good luck in the future. yoooo Joe!

[@davidfrederick6003]

Stalker to Colonel is fine. BUT Flint and General Hawk are the higher rank officers in command of GI Joe

[@maxcooper6554]

Outstanding work, Joes! I would rather throw money at a project like this, built on the love of the property and the characters (not to mention the music)! If another project ever gets off the ground, I would love to throw my hat in to help with some voice work. Keep up the great work! YO JOE!!!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thanks! We're thinking about a follow-up. Keep in touch with us!

[@charlessaint7926]

No bad. Not bad at all. I like fan films more than big budget films, because fans have a better understanding of the lore, they are not restricted by business mandates or trends, and they have passion in their labors, rather than it just being another paycheck.

[@andrewlex2240]

And Everyone So Cool and Real I Like It

[@ericonly]

This is dope.

[@jonathanhmm3470]

Keep up the good work

[@b.a.n.g.accountabilitymedi2108]

cool man

[@geek4u869]

Is that the guy who plays Daniel La Rouso?

[@TVKiDoOfficial]

I like to see roadblock

[@AJEpyxProductions]

We have a few underrated characters we'd like to put into a follow-up.

[@mrvideogarcia5027]

Wow this was better than the live action hands down great job guys only issue was the Duke character should have left him a blonde.

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Fair point and thank you!

[@Shane-fd5es]

Still better then rise of Cobra. Lol

[@AJEpyxProductions]

No accelerator suits allowed lol

[@andrewlex2240]

Erin You're So Beautiful

[@jamessatterlee]

I’m sorry, but this film has the worst choreography I’ve probably ever seen. Stalker and Baroness were at least halfway decently cast, but the acting is mostly stale and unbelievable. “War Machine” of 2008 had a lot more potential than this. There are ways of doing theatrical punches that both look and sound real without actually landing on the face. This video employed none of those techniques, which could have easily been found via a KZbin search. When it comes to weapons…I feel like my 4 year old could have done a better job with the fight scenes...and I mean that literally. This movie seems have been shot and choreographed within a single day, and written the day before. Sorry.

[@AJEpyxProductions]

Thank you for your opinion. Now lets see what you can do better.

[@GT-qm7xh]

This is horrible. Unwatchable!

[@AJEpyxProductions]

I'm sorry we couldn't afford Channing Tatum and a bunch of black leather suits. But thanks for watching!
