www.GIJoeMovie.net/media.html has the cast promos all in one place. Most of these pics have been taken down off of other sites and/or are scaterred around/hard to find.
When I put the link in it was removed, so should I upload all the pics to the article or something. These images dont come up in google images so Im sure people would appreciate being able to find them easily. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gijoelover ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, so... I'm not seeing anything in any of the source articles that says that Cobra Commander is the same character as this "Doctor" individual, or even that Gordon-Levitt is playing the Doctor. Can somebody enlighten me with a link? - Chris McFeely ( talk) 17:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
This movie is not based on A Real American Hero. It's a GI Joe: Sigma 6 movie. Read the wikipedia page for G I Joe Sigma 6 if you haven't seen the show.
- The near future setting is from, Sigma 6 instead of the contemporary setting of the Real American Hero incarnations.
- The accellerator suits are from Sigma 6. They're called "Sigma Suits." They're the suits the larger toys were wearing you've probably seen at WalMart the last couple of years. They're the ones that Heavy Duty calls "Delta 6 Accellerator suits" in the trailer.
- The size of the team is more like the size of the team from Sigma 6 than the size of the team on Real American Hero.
- The featured characters--the actual members of the team--are from Sigma 6. Ripcord, for example, wasn't that prominent a character in the old cartoon or comic, but is featured Sigma 6 the way Flint or Gung Ho was featured on the old cartoon. His place as comic relief and his crush on Scarlett are straight out of Sigma 6.
It's crushingly obvious to anyone who's followed the characters through the various cartoons and comics. There are hints of other continuities dripped in (Destro's submarine, for example, from the America's Elite comics, or the nod to Larry Hama's comics by using the name "Hard Master" for the man who trains Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, while distoring their actual history into something nearly unrecognizable), but the overall plot and setting is Sigma 6. You can read refrences to most of the above on this wikipedia page and the wikipedia characters of most of the other characters talked about.
I don't know what sources you need for it, but there's the case for it. Make of it what you will. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.84.176.5 ( talk) 23:37, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
. I don't see no relationship with Sigma 6, the Accellerator suit aren't based on the sigma 6 suit, but based on the armor for Sigma Six. Plus the movie tell the begining of both G.i.joe and Cobra. ( 198.252.156.11 ( talk) 17:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC))
When you think about it, many of the Joes in this movie are not Real American Heroes either. Remember the dreaded Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity in earlier news report? Although this name is not used in the movie, this description is very close to what the movie is about, which is what the movie producers confirmed. - Jacob Poon ( talk) 20:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I've been wondering shouldnt their be a heading like 2009 film for individual characters and have info only about the upcoming movie The Movie Master 1 ( talk) 22:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
"The Rise of Cobra toy line also includes 12 inch figures, and vehicles, including the first play set based on the Pit in the franchise's history"
Does this mean it is the first time the 12" figures have had a Pit playset? Because I am pretty freakin' sure that there was a Pit playset early in the Hasbro Line (even if it was just the top level of the multi-layer base.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 ( talk) 01:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
The movie opens on the 6th in Korea, I think. I saw an early screening, and the article currently has quite a few errors. I'll try to trim or correct what I can. -- Kjoon lee 18:22, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
On second look, there aren't many glaring errors that I can spot. Hmm. Well, here are a few.
Not true, he just said he hadn't seen it. G.I. Joe toys were sold in Korea, and there were commercials for shoes and stuff with G.I. Joe art.
Not true, they just said that Lee didn't *have* to watch any. -- Kjoon lee 18:45, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
How come nobody has posted the plot for each individual character, I haven't seen the movie yet so I cant do it The Movie Master 1 ( talk) 02:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the movie and was submitting an accurate summary as a result. Listen, those who critize me though I was correcting myself, if you have a problem with my summary, just help me recorrect it instead of blasting it out of the water. Fractyl ( talk) 00:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Ice doesn't sink. The plot to destroy the base wouldn't work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spotpuff ( talk • contribs) 21:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, I didn't add the part about the water being warm, so I just removed that from this discussion. There's a certain level of suspension of disbelief you have going into a movie. In the case of a movie about cars tranforming into robots, that's the entire premise of the movie, so you accept it. Same w/ sci-fi aliens. GI Joe is not about aliens or robot cars, nor about a mysterious plot to manipulate the density or buoyancy of ice. This is a glaring plot hole, not some minor oversight.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Spotpuff ( talk • contribs)
Right, you can suspend disbelief if it's an integral part of the movie or some "technology" involved, but where it's glaringly just against the laws of physics then that's where the problem arises. I guess people disagree on the level of realism they're willing to accept in movies. I added this to the "goofs" section because it's not really integral to enjoying the movie; it's just a goof. People note continuity errors all the time in films etc. but a glaring violation of physics is somehow less important than, say, a character in a restaurant holding a utensil then not holding it in the next shot.
I thought the ice shelf sank because it had a network of tunnels and facilities built into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.210.41.184 ( talk) 19:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
The information you added about "goofs" was very quickly removed. To get it into the article I found a review that mentioned it as a criticism and was then able to include the information as part of the critical response section. If you can fit your additions within the standard sections and provide any kind of a citation they are much less likely to be reverted. -- 03:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
This film was actually released in many parts of the world on the 5th August, and more on the 6th August. The 7th August release date is misleading as that is only for the US. Canterbury Tail talk 12:58, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
It is not #1 who put that there, It hasn't even been out long enough to stand a chance to be #1. The Movie Master 1 ( talk) 00:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
The article says it has grossed "a total of $164.7 million worldwide" ... but Reuter's
[1] says it grossed $190.3 million. This is probably all moot since it will most likely gross at least $10 mil more, but I don't know how reliable BoxOfficeMojo is vs Reuter's.

The reception section says it has been positively reviewed. This doesn't seem supported at all by the reviews listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 ( talk) 02:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
This phrasing about Zartan
is trivial dreck. It's akin to, "At several points during the film, Ripcord flirts with Scarlett" or "At several points during the film, Snake-Eyes purses his lips." I've tried to rework it to explain why anyone should care -- but, it doesn't read very well. Someone else either tweak it, please, or remove the whole whistling thing as needless trivia. -- EEMIV ( talk) 05:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
The two comments above is hardly "a consensus" to remove the information as another editor claimed but a note on the admittedly awkward wording (the edit summary encourage others to rephrase if necessary). The character trait should be mentioned in the Cast (character) section. The information about the president is a plot detail and should be mentioned only in the Plot section. In older versions of the article that information was separate but but various edits put redundant plot and character in places they shouldn't be, and other editors then felt the need to junk the lot. The whistling is as characteristic of Zartan as not speaking is for Snake Eyes. -- Horkana ( talk) 00:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I noticed the undo of my edit of the character's name "Klan McCullen" to James because that's what the character is listed as at IMDB. Klan isn't a name, it's "clan" as in family. Was IMDB wrong or is there some other reason his name is Klan here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.147.171.103 ( talk) 19:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

G.I. Joe: Rising to a New Level of Techno VFX at VFXWorld. — Erik ( talk • contrib) 22:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC) Has anybody noticed that the vectored exhaust "shoes"/paddles on the flying machines are direct copies of those on Robotech? 124.170.26.235 ( talk) 10:08, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Can it really be said that the nanomites destroy "much" of the area around the tower? They only appear to destroy several vehicles and segments of the tower before being deactivated. The tower then collapses due to lack of strucutral integrity - and not a great deal of damage is caused by the impact. Compared to, say, an explosive device, far less damage is caused! Can anyone justify the wording of "much of the surrounding area"? Cpl Syx talk 22:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

This article has a few issues with the reception section and citations mostly before I pass it.
Anything else? igordebraga ≠ 00:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
In the flashback scene where Snake Eyes is caught by Storm Shadow stealing food, Storm Shadow speaks Korean. I don't know if the master did too. But, they are supposed to be in the middle of Tokyo and Storm Shadow's character is supposed to be Japanese. No explanation was given. Why? I understand that the actors themselves are Korean, and that is fine. But shouldn't they be speaking Japanese? FYI, I'm an American and I could tell the difference. So I hope it's not just because they thought they could get away with it. 118.42.219.42 ( talk) 11:22, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't the sequel G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike, that should begin filming sometime this summer, have its own wiki page? The link on the sequel section of this Article just redirects to this article again. There are several actors signed onto film as well as a director, as stated in the article in this link http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/adrianne-palicki-joins-g-i-joe-cobra-strikes/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kosridge ( talk • contribs) 23:09, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I immediately noticed that the uniforms used by the MARS technicians very closely resembles the Star Fleet uniforms from Star Trek: First Contact. Was this coincidental or did the wardrobe department pull them out of a closet to save a few bucks? 67.166.155.113 ( talk) 04:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
