anyone else notice at about 4:39 Serpentor's flying vehicle sounds like a StarWars TIE fighter, and when he swings around with Duke on the underside it sounds like Darth Vader breathing for a sec? weird, right? loved this movie as a kid, thanks for posting it.
The greatest toys on the history of Earth. There was nothing like growing up in the late 80's getting up for Christmas and opening new GI JOE vehicles and figures. Nothing!
I have to say that this animation is pretty darn good for being over twenty years old. I think if someone had a clue they would do a modern remake but go easy on the cgi. Or at least make the characters more realistic looking. I think the modern GI Joe Renegades just look bad. And kids--not to mention the adult fans--I think would like to see a large cast of characters with all their unique abilities, uniforms, and personalities.
I think the joes just had no idea what to expect when the things came from underground . I mean their battle cry is absolutely hilarious. You can't be expected to take them serious with what sounds they are going yeah over and over in a high pitched tone. Later the joes do better.
@lawmancpa Serpentor was voiced by Richard (Dick) Gautier, who played Rodimus Prime on the regular Transformers cartoon. He is best remembered as Hymie the robot in Get Smart.
Other observations; 1. The battle at the end of this video is one of only a few instances where G.I. Joe takes an industrial grade ass whupping. 2. nemesis enforcer is a beast. 3. Did Snowjob really think getting Cobra Commander would affect the tide of battle?
@dewy200884 Im 30 and Im chuffed to bits to find all these GI Joe and X-Men online XD Over here in the UK, G.I Joe was called Action Force - G.I Joe sounding too American I suppose.. Still, I loved the figures and had a couple of mini movies on VHS, like one where there was an alternate World where Cobra ruled - that was sweet..
That B.E.T. tactic was only helpful by sheer luck. Had they actually taken this into consideration with their weapons firing randomly its surprising that some G.I. Joe equipment wasn't damaged too. But even still when its the only option you have left available then use it.
why i dont get is why cobra commander ran away when he saw pythona?? knowing full well he brought the troops their in the first damn place and he saw her previously in the beginning of the movie. i mean if he was afraid something bad was going to happen to them, then why go there in the first place??
There is one thing I don't understand. The Joes are testing the BET in the Himilayas. So why didn't Golobulus just send his own to troopers to go get it. From the way they took out Snake Eyes, it should have been easy for them. The BET is right in Cobra La's own backyard.
If you guys felt snake eyes got owned what do you think about quick kick? He got his ass handed to him and his leg introduced violently to a cobrala beanstalk by a guy wearing a bug helmet:)
@SteelTheBerserker Serpentor was winning, but Duke scored a lucky hit. You know Serpentor was alot stronger than a regular human, if he survived being hit with enough energy to fry an elephant.
@eshaw2115 if you noticed too when Duke sent half of the joes forces instead of a full scale, the people of cobra la over took them easily. but with a full scale assault they wouldnt have a chance. if you dont believe that, watch the ending. and playered85 said was true and grat observations. plus if you remembered most of their people were killed when the earths plates shifted and probably destroyed half of the population!!
I miss the 80's! I remember how awesome this movie was when I first saw it as a child and how cool the toys were. The 80's were the bomb.
The contention between Cobra Commander and Serpentor is legendary, they simply detest each other.
anyone else notice at about 4:39 Serpentor's flying vehicle sounds like a StarWars TIE fighter, and when he swings around with Duke on the underside it sounds like Darth Vader breathing for a sec? weird, right? loved this movie as a kid, thanks for posting it.
"Farewell, worm!"...great line!
Just bought a cobra STUN and a HAVOK on ebay recently. I've wanted them for 20 years after seeing this movie. haha.
Duke must have some serious balls to fight hand to hand with Serpentor
The greatest toys on the history of Earth. There was nothing like growing up in the late 80's getting up for Christmas and opening new GI JOE vehicles and figures. Nothing!
DUKE: And for once we have a BET that will be positive for humanity!!
[Joes glance around nervously for Roadblocks reaction]
Serpentor: "Hiyahghghghghghghghghghg." LOL
DESTROY EVERYTHING!!! Ecept the Broadcast Energy Transmitter... GREAT dialog!!

Go Joe! Thank you again for posting these.:D
how is this even better now Classic
I remember when cobra commander got shot and died in the comics, but he wasn't really dead.
I think the joes just had no idea what to expect when the things came from underground . I mean their battle cry is absolutely hilarious. You can't be expected to take them serious with what sounds they are going yeah over and over in a high pitched tone. Later the joes do better.
The broadcast energy transmitter.
Also "FROM BEHIIIIIND!!"
Serpentor....to quote MST3K, "People who want to rule the world end up looking like real snickerdoodles." XD
lol omg cobra commanders voice cracks me up!!!!
lmbo
Nothing like the ole' gernade in the exhaust trick

@cowboykiller47 Hell yeah! Except maybe unwrapping a gift and finding a Transformer in there, lol!
I friggin love the music from 9:12 onward.
If you were a hardcore gijoe fan along time ago you realized that duke fell into a coma in every episode/movie
Xamot: COOO-!!!!
Tomax: BRAAAA!!!!
The background music is the exact same beat to the one in Transformers during the battle of Autobot City.
9:25 -- it's kinda tough seeing old Joes like Snake-Eyes getting pwned so badly.
@brignsc123
im 26 & still love these old cartoons. :-)

THEE most fuckin bad ass cartoon EVER put on tv. PERIOD!
OMG LOL! 4:37 TIE Fighter sound effect! XD!
Yes! Snakeyes gets slapped around for once!
Pythona is scary looking! :O
@Iceman0412 because hes our childhood and we salute him for being there for us :)
Heh heh, "FAREWELL WORM!!!!" then "Ayayaayayaay!!!!"
The laser sound effects are quite the same as in the beginning of Terminator 2, compare them:)
i hear it now. how did you set the time as link to that part of video?
its the ultimate action figure of all tim but they were a bit pricey in denmark
Dang! I was gonna vote for Copperheidi.
The crap that BET puts on you would think Cobra actually stole it.
Am I the only one noticing the loads of sound effects ripped from from star wars in this flick? You can even hear Darth Vader's breathing at 04:42
That B.E.T. tactic was only helpful by sheer luck. Had they actually taken this into consideration with their weapons firing randomly its surprising that some G.I. Joe equipment wasn't damaged too. But even still when its the only option you have left available then use it.
somebody should make a movie about the classic Transformers and gi joe comic book.
yeah like the cobra commander voice is the same voice as starscream
From a Brit here. Fucking love this film.
IM going to walk around my job and say THIS I COMMAND
Do you have the episode where Serpantor was created?
somebody should make a movie about the classic transformers gi joe comic.
When I first heard Dialtone, I though he was French!
Why didn't cobra invent such a weapon for evil and then they solve the world's energy crisis?
Search Air Raiders toy commercials! U hear the HRRR! Tie Fighter sound in the Air Raiders vehicles!
4:40-4:45 You can actually hear tie fighter sounds and Darth Vader!
Pythona and Ayeka from Tenchi have the same voice
His name was Chris Latta, yes he voiced Starscream and Cobra Commander. Unfortunately, he's dead now.
4:20 Toon Missiles!
@cowboykiller47 I agree. This and Transformers. They don't make toys like that anymore.
@Iceman0412 Because...it's fun watching him.
Cobra commander and Serpentor are rivals who want to rule Cobra. It started with high cmmand's fault.
YOOO JOE!!!!
Only a billion? Will take 100 of them
@soniqsoulchild Sorry, Corey Burton was Brainiac. Serpentor and Starscream was Chris Latta.
what song is that @ about 9:10?
Unlimited energy for the world for only a billion dollars? Why haven't we built a broadcast energy transmitter yet?
The BIG NASTY MONSTERS has just attack The A-Team
why i dont get is why cobra commander ran away when he saw pythona?? knowing full well he brought the troops their in the first damn place and he saw her previously in the beginning of the movie. i mean if he was afraid something bad was going to happen to them, then why go there in the first place??
@diddymuck What do you mean Eartha Kitt? The actress for Pythona is Jennifer Darling who did Princess Aeka of Juri in Tenchi Muyou.
This was good but I always felt Serpentor didn't match with everything else going on. He shoulda been in He-Man and left it to CC!
how did Snow job's name get approved?
the way censcorship was in the 80s
@ 9:10 hear some transformers fighting background music from their movie too
4:41-4:43 - They could have at least taken out Darth Vader's breath intake.
expected more from snake eyes
There is one thing I don't understand. The Joes are testing the BET in the Himilayas.
So why didn't Golobulus just send his own to troopers to go get it. From the way they took out Snake Eyes, it should have been easy for them. The BET is right in Cobra La's own backyard.
Does anyone know wth torch said at 10:56?
If you guys felt snake eyes got owned what do you think about quick kick? He got his ass handed to him and his leg introduced violently to a cobrala beanstalk by a guy wearing a bug helmet:)
lalalalLALalALalalALlalALLlalla!!
xD
@Iceman0412
He has Starscreams voice doesn't he? :)
Hey, people still love Britney
hahaha, not teh B.E.T.!!! :O
What I am so confused
love
Tom
@eshaw2115 "So why didn't Golobulus just send his own to troopers "
Rule#1: Never sacrifice your own troops when you can use someone else's.
What are those weapons called? 5:11-5:15
Snow Job....haha.
@SteelTheBerserker Serpentor was winning, but Duke scored a lucky hit. You know Serpentor was alot stronger than a regular human, if he survived being hit with enough energy to fry an elephant.
@soniqsoulchild it was Chris Latta
why were the joes building that thing out in the middle of arctic tundra? shouldn't it have been in a secured facility?
The BET? So Black Entertainment Channel is the secert to human survival.
@Iceman0412 He appeals to our inner coward!
@eshaw2115 if you noticed too when Duke sent half of the joes forces instead of a full scale, the people of cobra la over took them easily. but with a full scale assault they wouldnt have a chance. if you dont believe that, watch the ending. and playered85 said was true and grat observations. plus if you remembered most of their people were killed when the earths plates shifted and probably destroyed half of the population!!
I am surprised no Arabs complained about this.
Eartha Kitt????
lol im glad im not the only one that thinks that he he
At 3:53 you can hear, "What the hell is that?"
Willgotti: yes apologies I meant at 7:56
Uh I think George Carlin put it better.
@bildo1977 3:52 but ya its there lol
Just like wwe
G.I. Joe using H.A.A.R.P.?
from 4:37 tie fighter voice, you can hear dart vaders breath :D, they stole lot of voices from star wars
@arobb2007 Except she more like Evil Ayeka in this film.
