the GIs look like the guys in Crysis, with the nanosuits and everything. looks cool.
GI Joe a UN backed hero. Maybe.
And Dr. Who plays the bad guy. Most excellent.
He plays Destro (who has a man in the iron mask gimmick, which I really want to see), one of the bad guys. The Mummy plays the master of disguise, Zartan. And another Cobra is called "The Doctor."

Do the guys have thingies?
Hooahguy 13:10 02-04-2009
define "thingies"

Surely you remember GI Joe was not anatomically correct…
So I think what he is asking is can they go #1 standing up…

This movie isn't based on those old barbie like 60's/70's GI-Joe/Action man figures. Pretty much all the characters in this movie were taken from the "Real American hero" reinvention Hasbro gave it in the early 80's.

I remember being the proud owner of the original G.I. Joe (circa 1964) as a child.

The scar.

The different kits were great. You could accessorize Joe with anything military one could think of.

And of course, back then, the USA actually
manufactured stuff, made in Japan or China was considered laughable and a piece of junk. If Joe didn't have his "Made in the USA" butt-tattoo he wasn't the real McCoy.
Hope you like the movie!

No "butts" about it. He's the man behind the action figure - a cheeky fellow, quick with a wise crack who doesn't give a squat, nor take crap from anybody. That picture will go down in the anals of Frontroom - "Kingdom of 'Piece' & Love" - p0rn...I think I'll just slip out the backdoor now.
BTW, my brother had the scuba suit which was awesome by itself - the "invisible man".

I shot my GI Joe's to chunks with my bb gun when I was a kid. Awesome show. Seen the Fensler Films parodies of their PSAs? Messed up funny stuff (You can find some of them on Youtube, but I hear YT yanks them pretty often due to copyright complaints):

Cobra Commander, Serpentor, Destro, Baroness.
Probably Snake Eyes vs. White Snake (can't remember the name

).
They already wrecked The Transformers though....
