At one point they were seriously going to make GI Joe an international force which had an acronym that ''happened'' to be "GI Joe." [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 03:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
:Hey Dongs, GI Joe is already ridiculous. Why not go all the way?-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 15:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

: The trailer for this movie would have made me cry if it weren't for the fact that I can supress such actions-[[Special:Contributions/76.31.5.208|76.31.5.208]] 17:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
::Goddamm it Smith. I don't think you ''get'' retarded action movies.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 18:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
: Whatever. If I want to see an action movie I'll go on netflix and get Wasabi, District B13 and Extreme Prejudice.-[[Special:Contributions/76.31.5.208|76.31.5.208]] 20:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
::Those three are all good movies but they are serious. Well, atleast Extreme Prejudice is but the Retarded Action Movie is a great genre. Only if the movie is ''''NOT'''' serious though. For example, if Arnie and the crew that made [[Commando]] acted as if the movie they were making was completely serious, then the movie would be horrible but [[Commando]] doesn't take itself Seriously and because of that, the final product is a complete awesome movie full of one-liners, chessy acting and explosions. It's a perfect non-serious action movie.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
: I am one serious man though, and regard those movies as comedy-not action. Plus, Wasabi is a funny ass movie-[[Special:Contributions/76.31.5.208|76.31.5.208]] 00:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
::Well, i'm a silly man so those movies are great fun to me.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 15:46, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
:I do admit Commando was hilarious though. SAW BLADE IN THE FACE!-[[Special:Contributions/76.31.5.208|76.31.5.208]] 17:46, 23 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
::::I consider Commando to be one of the greatest movies of all time. I just love the final fight between Arnie and Bennett because the two of them ditch their guns because they want to fight with knifes. And the whole transition to fighting with knives is beautiful and to end the whole fight, we get Arnold ripping off a huge steam pipe and shoving it onto Bennett's chest and then Arnie says one of the best-one liners ever. "Let off some steam, Bennett." It's an awesome movie.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 18:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::Also, hats off the the writers for giving Arnie's daughter a name they knew he couldn't pronounce, leaving him stomping around yelling "CHENNY WHERE ARE YOU CHENNY" for half the movie. [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 19:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
::I can't believe i didn't notice that until now. That is really funny.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I saw a trailer for this last night, looks to me like G.I. Joe meets ''[[Crysis]]'' or ''Halo''. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 18:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
:The clothes the Joes wear do look alot like the nanosuits from [[Crysis]].-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 18:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

==African battle scene flashback==
Hi, there [[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]]. Like your G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra screenshots.

A favor, in Duke's flashback scene where he and Ripcord were in the African desert, can you send me some screenshots of the unit's weapons? I think I saw an M16A2 with Knights' RIS and M203 grenade launcher among the guns they used in the scene.

Here:

[[Image:Flashback_1.JPG|thumb|none|700px]]

[[Image:Flashback_2.JPG|thumb|none|700px]]

Believe it or not, these are the best shots of the M16 available, they just move it around too much to get a better one.

Here's some extra ones:

[[Image:Flashback_3_duke.JPG|thumb|none|700px|Duke firing his M4A1.  Flashlight switch is attatched to his lower receiver.]]

[[Image:Flashback_4_ripcord.JPG|thumb|none|700px|Ripcord reloading his M4A1.  Note flashlight pressure switch above the trigger of the M203]]

Right now I'm trying to find a good shot of Ripcords 1911.  I'm sure I saw it, but just can't find it.  --[[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]] 06:01, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

== Female Joes ==
Is it just me or are they going to cast alot of hot women as the female Joes in this movie? I mean i get it that this is a retarded action-movie but it's not like action-movies need tits or an love interest.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 16:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I watched it yesterday, it doesnt just have love interest, it has a complicated (read retarded) love triangle, that has everything you need, mind control, a crazy egomaniac, tragic past events (with flashbacks) and sci fi gun fights, what else could you ask for
:Lemme guess. It's between a male Joe and Scarlett and the Baroness?-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 12:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Not quite between duke, the baroness and destro, but your idea could have worked better

The only thing that pissed me off was that they didn't include Lady Jaye or (my personal favorite of the lady Joes) Mayday. I mean, come on, Lady Jaye is the ''original'' GI Jane! [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 07:46, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

== Any one else notice? ==

Hey, just saw the movie and checked on here to see if you guys knew anything about the handfull of 1911s in the movie. There are a few nice shots especially when Duke is holding the baroness at gunpoint with what looks like a taurus pt1911 or a Kimber similar to the ones used in S.W.A.T. Not to mention the general (Dennis Quaid) has a 1911 that stays holstered the majority of the movie except when attacked by stormshadow. It appeared to have a mainspring magwell on it and original G.I. (no pun intended) grips. Any help would be awesome....thanks!
:I believe Duke does use a Kimber, and it also appears to have attachment rail too, so it's probably a Kimber Warrior.  I think Ripcord also hold the same sidearm, which got cut in half by Storm Shadow.
:Yeah, Warrior is what came to mind when I first saw them. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 07:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Here's a screenshot of it so you guys can determine what it is. [[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]]

[[Image:Dukes_1911A1.JPG|thumb|none|600px|Duke is clear but the 1911 is a bit blurry.  Best shot I could find]]

== Shotgun FIring Like A Machine Gun? ==

I saw G.I. Joe last week, and during the attack on the Pit scene, Duke fires an automatic shotgun at a Neo-Viper, and I noticed it was firing like a machine gun (with machine gun sounds too). Wtf?! Someone screwed something up on the props or they just thought because it looked like a machine gun, no one would notice. I just thought it was weird.

it actually fires that that's the sound it makes

Its actually an AA-12 to the best of my knowledge. Its a Military assault shotgun featured on Future weapons. It can also fire a 12 guage grenade and with a full magazine can fire them in full auto.

== Unknown Rifle ==
I have a screen shot of an unknown rifle being shot next to the G36 in the beginning ambush sequence.  It looks like a DSA SA58 OSW to me but I wanted to make sure. - [[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]]

== Grenades ==
I believe these are Mk 2 "Pineapple" grenades, but I could be wrong - [[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]]

== Screencaps ==
Where the hell did you get those screencaps? They are not from a Bootleg are they?--[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:36, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah.  I can get screen caps for District 9 also if you want.  By bootleg, do you mean I got them from a guy in the street?  If that's so , then no.  And I did not use any kind of p2p program either.
::You what a bootleg is, righ? It's an illegal copy of an movie or videogame or music cd. If you didn't use a bootleg, how did you get those screencaps? Also, sign your posts by doing this: [[Image:Sigbutton.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
--[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:Yes, they are bootleg, how else do you think I got them.  If you feel so strongly about it, then delete them and my account for all I care, I'm just trying to help.--[[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]] 21:00, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
::We know you are just trying to help. You've got your heart in the right place. The thing is, those screencaps are copyright infringiment. Some studio watchdog could come in here and get all of us in deep shit.--[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 21:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
== Heavy's weapons ==
Heavy seems to use a M249 w/ M203 and a Sage rotary launcher to destroy the machines used by cobra to get into the Joe's base
