the pinnacle of all Brendan Fraser characters I'm sure
So why exactly did Brendan Fraser appear in this movie anyway?
The Director of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is Stephen Sommers, who also directed "The Mummy" & "The Mummy Returns", both of which of course starred Brendan Fraser.
Several other crew & cast members of the Mummy movies also worked on & appeared in G.I. Joe, including The Mummy himself, Arnold Vosloo, who in the film portrayed everyone's favorite evil master of disguise, Zartan!
Brendan Fraser really loved G.I. Joe as a kid, he's more than once told about his fond memories of having a G.I. Joe toy with a parachute as a kid, and how he got it stuck up in a tree.
While shooting The Mummy 3, Fraser learned a G.I. Joe movie was just green lit, which he got excited for & really wanted to have a role in. After a few phone calls, & with Frase having already worked together with several of the cast & crew members, he was granted a cameo role.
He wanted to portray the character that his previously mentioned childhood toy was of, and that he would be fine just dangling from a parachute in the background like his toy did from the tree. However, they offered him a three wheeled motorcycle instead, & the rest is history.

I've actually been wanting to upload this for some time, & since the man just won an Oscar, I figured now would be good. So, even if it's just his shoulder or shoe in frame, heres every time Sgt. Stone (Brendan Fraser) is on screen in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. So why exactly is Brendan Fraser even in the movie anyway, if his role is so brief? Well, read the description to see why.

Nice little cameo! The story about how he got the small role was great too. He definitely should've been a main character but I'm glad he's back in the business, he's a good actor and many of his earlier films where a part of my childhood. The Mummy was one of my favorites

Seriously though, I really wish he was a main character. I was expecting him to have a fight scene with Arnold Vosloo's Zartan & go full on with the ultimate nod to The Mummy. I mean Zartan & several others literally attack the base a few minutes after Fraser's Sgt. Stone walks off. But he just dissappears. He still got a toy of him made thought, despite the minimal screen time XD There where some rumors of him playing Gung-Ho, one of the core characters of the og G.I. Joe cartoon, but he said there were copyright issues. I don't know how that would've played into the "cameo role" thing. Maybe it was the difference between cameo and non-cameo, but I don't know. I've also never seen Brendan Fraser say this himself, it was just reported that he did, so I don't even know if it's true. The info about the story I wrote in the description all came right out of Fraser's mouth in an interview, so I know that bit is definite at least. Same here, I watched movies like Journey to the Center of the Earth and the Mummy dozens of times growing up!

@@Blotzwave That would have been so cool to see especially since it would've been a nod to their previous works. Oh yeah Journey was pretty good too. I also really enjoyed a lot of his earlier comedies like Encino Man and Airheads, the remake of Bedazzled was also a guilty pleasure as well lol

I swear I remembered him having more screen time than he actually had

Sadly the training scene was his only scene

Everyone in the theater went “oh Brendan Fraser!!” We hadn’t seen him in so long. My family talked his cameo as a highlight of the whole movie. So even at 45 SECONDS of screen time, he leaves That much of an impact. I hope we get to see more of him now.
