G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987) - Cinemassacre Rental Reviews

- In this episode of Cinemassacre's Rental Reviews James, Justin and Kieran review G.I. Joe: The Movie from 1987, which capped off the first two seasons of the TV run. In the movie, G.I. Joe's Special Task Force finds its mission to preserve peace and freedom threatened by the evil Golobulus. Created at the height of the G.I. Joe craze in the 1980s, G.I. Joe: The Movie was intended as a theatrical release to be closely followed by The Transformers: The Movie. However, the G.I. Joe film encountered unexpected production delays which allowed the Transformers feature to be released first. Due to the poor box office performances of The Transformers: The Movie and My Little Pony: The Movie, G.I. Joe: The Movie was instead released direct-to-video as well as aired on television in syndication, first in feature-length format and later split into a five-part miniseries format as part of the series' syndication package.

YO JOE!!! A few of us are getting back together, but the goal is to return to our 3-person setup one day. Oh, few things we missed in this episode: In the UK the GI Joe are known as ACTION FORCE, much like the Ninja Turtles being the Hero Turtles. They redid the theme songs and everything as Action Force and Sgt. Slaughter was changed to Sgt. Slammer! Weird. We also wanted to get more into how the soundtrack needed something like Transformer's Stan Bush songs, but this episode was already running a little long. Hope you know more about GI Joe now, and knowing is half the battle.
lmao Sgt. Slammer is a stupid name. doesn't have the same badassery of Slaughter.
They say full force instead of Yo Joe in the UK version
Sgt. Skull Fucker would have been way more appropriate!
It's just an old term for soldiers. Government Issued Joe.
It absolutely did not need any songs like Transformers the Movie had.
This movie actually makes you feel sympathetic towards Cobra Commander. His story arc is so sad.
Wasn't he a used car salesman ?
Dude, cobra commander's story arc, especially during the movie, is soul-rending
cobra sympathizer... smh
What a man he was
"I was once a man......."
Haha "I've litteraly only been talking to cats for... For several weeks..."
Same here
Pariah Dog cats are excellent conversationalists
I don't get why Kerian doesn't have a girl. He's such a chill dude. I mean, even Justin has one ...
Haterator because modern women aren’t courageous enough to ask him out.
You know he be playing something where he's talking to some one lol
The only G.I. Joe movie
There’s two irl movies but I think I know what your saying
Didn't need those ridiculous accelerator suits that made the Joes jump roll like Transformers, no way!
Gi Joe and Transformers, 2 animated series with only one movie each, and the movies were animated!
@@NotABot55 As crazy as Cobra-La is, it's still better than accelerator suits and any of the casting. Think about, the Animated movie had Don Johnson and Burgess Meredith!
@@shallendor They did make one (and only one) live action Transformers movie. It focused mainly on Bumblebee.
I had a cat named Nemesis Enforcer. He beat up our other cats and he lived to be like 20.
+Back In The Day Gamer
That is too much for my brain to process. lol
I wiped him off the floor with a squeegee, and put it in a ditty bag. and itty, bitty ditty bag.

Nice catch blanco niño
I'm almost 40 and all I want to this day is the Tomahawk helicopter that I didn't get for my 8th birthday.
I had the tomahawk. I pulled off all the missions that you couldn't...because Yo Joe!
My cousin had it back in the 80s ,hr saved hid allowance to get it,he was the man in all barrio
eBay
I bought one a few years back... My cousin broke it.
I still want the cobra rattler
GI Joe on NES, make it happen boys. It was a great game
GI joe arcade game is also good
@@YunaCrawford I really enjoyed GI Joe Arcade game
Yes!!! Loved that game
Great game indeed. Gotta find a way to play it.
@@optimusprime3484 MAME on pc or Android will let you play the arcade game. NES emulators will let you play the nes games. Now Roll Out and get them.
Haha Justin making that face as Kieran nerds out about GI Joe- DUDE YOU HAVE A SEGAL SHRINE YOU DON'T GET TO MAKE THAT FACE xD
Not to mention the gangar pokemon obsession
I was hoping James would mention that Burgess Meredith was the star of The Story of G.I. Joe, made back in 1945.
Cobra commander lived. In "Operation Dragonfire", he is turned back into a person by The Baroness and Alley Viper.
Yea, I remember they upgraded his outfit as well, I remember getting the new Cobra Commander action figure as a kid but deep down I wanted his old outfit
It was Baroness and Gnawgahyde the Dreadnok.
Then they devolved Serpentor.
don't forget, the transformers cartoons was also based in the same reality. Cobra Commander later shows up in an episode of Transformers dealing with synthoid human bodies that the transformers are put into. he's called Old Snake in the episode and he's obviously wearing the face plate and at the end when he's leaving he starts to shout out "Cobra" but he start starts to cough.
Remember the giant aircraft carrier toy. That thing was dope
I had it. Omg, it was so big. Everyday i regret that i let my mother throw it in the trash =(
Ted Granström she did WHAT?...
@@elfedorausado sadly in the 90s wr tossed our toys game systems everything. We all regret it. I had g1 transformers, he man castle greyskull, the ninja turtles van w/pizza shooter. Complete nes assec. collection. Most got thrown away
@@captaintoyota3171 yikes that's insane.
I have it set up in my tou museum to this day!!!!!
Sgt Slaughter was never in the military neither was Cover Girl.
Covergirl isnt even a real person dude.
Lots of Joe's weren't.
Sgt. Slaughter admitted years later that he wasn’t actually a marine
Sgt Slaughter was a marine.
Robert Remus wasn’t. There’s a difference.
Kayfabe isn’t dead.
not sure kayfabe died long ago
I never knew that kinda depressing really. I really used to like him considering I served in the USMC. Kinda wish I did not know that know lame... But thanks for the info.
Robert Reamus pretends both him and the character Sgt. Slaughter were in the marines. In a shoot Sam Roberts interview he said he was in Vietnam before getting into wrestling with Verne Gagne and also claimed he took down Billy Robinson no problem.
Habitual liar and stolen valor
Swoll826 I’ll defend him here and tell you that all wrestlers try to keep Kayfabe alive and lie about their character. If you’re calling him a habitual liar because he was trying to protect the business and his character then I guess he’s a habitual liar. Also by your logic most wrestlers are all Habitual liars because they were all working you from the start.
The character of Sgt. Slaughter was in the USMC. The man who portrayed him was not.
It was a good Wrestling gimmick too.
The real Sgt. Slaughter was a Marine and was a real Drill Instructor
@@themisfitbrigade What do you mean by the "real" Sgt. Slaughter? The Wrestler was just a gimmick who has never served in the military at all.
I can tell justin's been in quarantine, he's being way too nice.
I was confused when I didn’t hear any of his usual shit talk
I think Nemesis Enforcer is more like Quetzalcoatl, winged-serpent, kind of humanoid.
My older cousins were REALLY into GI Joe, they had ALL the toys, I remember going to their house and being just overwhelmed by them all, especially the giant aircraft carrier.
"It's Fumbles... It was always Fumbles."
Lol nice. One of the best sketches Robot Chicken had, in my opinion.
I shall call you trouser snake
That skit always gets me charged up i loved watching the joes die.
I have memories of the PSAs. “And knowing is half the battle!”
Sto0🛑O⁰P all da downloadin'
Bawddi mah-sahjj........ G I
Jooooooooooooooooooe . . .
I still get chills when I hear GI Joe The Movie opener
To this very day. And I'm 44.
Me2.... It's crazy
this movie was my introduction to g.i.joe , as a kid growing up in Baghdad i did not really understood a word they said but thought it was one of the coolest cartoons i ever seen. the intro song still gives me goosebumps.
and my co worker jason faria (whos his mom worked for hasbro) got one of the toys (shockwave) backgrounds named after him.
Kieran that was Kayfabe. Slaughter was never in the military.
This movie made me cry 😭💔😢
Poor Cobra Commander 😭
I know, right? The poor guy got a face worse than death.
I never felt more sorry for a villain than Cobra
You're hot. 🤘🖤🤘
Baroness > Lady Jaye
@@Godlike_Virus Thanks ♥♥♥
😂
Dic ruined many cartoons by under bidding competent animation studios.
Well the company was called Dic! Karma is a_____... you can fill in the blanks. They're now defunct...
Cobra Commander lived on. He was in the third season of Transformers as "Old Snake". Look it up (you will be glad you did...)
I remember watching that episode and being so stoked. At the end when he is yelling cobra but coughs halfway through is priceless.
I saw the episode I know exactly what you're talkin about hell cobra
They just don't make terrorists like they used to...
@@happyhammer1 That wasn't a GI Joe episode. That was a crossover Transformers episode. He played an arms dealer. It wasn't explicitly stated in the episode that he was Cobra Commander until her yelled "Cobraaaa!" at the end.
Cobra Commander came back in the 5 part mini-series Operation Dragonfire.
Huge fan of G.I. Joe. My favorite childhood toy. I was a very lucky kid, my grandfather worked at Hasbro.
"Body massage!"
"Pork Chop Sandwiches!"
"Hey, kid, Imma computah!"
Those P.S.A.s will always be funny.
I loved G.I. Joe growing up. I remember being a kid and being obsessed with He-Man and then this came along and I was like "He-Who?" But Jesus H. Christ I was Obsessed to the Obsessed degree when this came out. It got so bad my family and extended family made a rule that if we went to the video store to rent a movie I couldn't rent this because I had rented it that many times! I eventually bought it on DVD and showed them. I still pop it in and watch it from time to time. And, yes, that fucking intro is the best intro of all time!
@che-ose ...stop... just, stop all the

Wit de halp o' Jebus I. Crust,

“You not coooking”.
Show of hands, who else has a thing for Lady Jaye?
Definitely me! I cosplay as Flint and hope to get someone to go as Lady Jaye with me sometime.
Cover Girl.
Knowledge is half the battle. The other half is violence.
KNOWING
Yep, can't gat had a headshot if you don't have the knowledge to aim
Cobra commander appeared in the transformers season 3 episode, only human, but he was called old snake, and looked like rorschach from watchmen.
That was interesting, seeing how Cobra Commander ended up in the G.I. Joe film. Bad continuity, I guess.
Roy Phillips or next got fixed at some times, other comments say there’s an episode he was fixed by The Baroness
Because both characters are sniveling and inept, it always cracked me up that Cobra Commander and Starscream were both voiced by the late Chris Latta. He played that type of villain hilariously well! But almost no one who reviews either series (that I’ve seen, anyway) ever mentions this.
Lesley RedRhody Indeed, too bad his role in Inhumanoids as D’Compose challenges that typecasting, as he was badass.
Oliver Surpless Holy shit! I forgot about that!
I don't think many men could grow such a majestic beard in only four weeks.
How did you grow up in the 80s and not know anything about GI Joe???’cmon James!!
he explained in the video; pay attention.
It just wasn't this thing. I was big into G.I. Joe... still am in fact. Second favorites were Masters of the Universe and Transformers. There was a ton of stuff back in that era so there was something for everyone.
Cobra Commander did come back in season 3. He was turned human again by The Baroness.
I loved Kieran's "lawn motor 2.0" plug , LOL
"Right after shaving my fucking bush" lol
The glorious beard is no more
He looks better without it I think
It's gonna take some getting use to.
He’s still Caveman Karen
He’s more human now than Wookie.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. I rented this movie 100's of time's.
Loved watching that cartoon at 6 a.m before school. Jesus I'm old.
Me too
The guy at my local rental place suggested I buy my own copy, so I did.
@@gertywhatagash_ 4pm in the NYC metro area.
Same
I love these videos. It gives me a nostalgia feel of mom and pop rental stores that I long for again.
How did James not react to the name Snowjob?
now I know where MuchMusic got the name of their winter concert series ...
they also went full MTV and replaced the music videos with reality TV ...
A big nostalgic episode for me with all the old cartoon talk
The opening scene should be shown in schools in the US.
You know.....it can work
Everyday, before the national anthem
Cobra Commander appears in the season 3 episode of Transformers called Only Human as 'Old Snake'.
I do have to disagree with this movie being a starting point if you want to get into GI Joe. Start with the original TV miniseries in 1983 and 84. They are much better without all the weird Cobra-La stuff.
*ongoing story arc
The Cobra-La is fun, but I do agree that the 1983 and 1984 mini-series are better start points.
It really did not age well trough
James is like WTF are they talking about
gonna guess that anyone watching this has seen the Netflix series "Toys that made Us".. great series...
The Toys That Made Us and The Movies That Made Us are both fantastic.
Thanks to you, I discovered this brilliant series! Kudos!
lol Justin's face when Kieran is explaining his GI Joe trading card collection
As if Justin doesn't have an apartment full of his own dorky collections
I always loved Scarlett so I was bummed she wasn't in more of the movie.
This and the transformers cartoon movie are still badass to this day
How do you grow out of Thundercats? I still get excited when I hear people mention Lion-O, Cheetara, and Panthra or hear the Thundercats theme.
This & the Transformers movie were my JAM growing up in the 80’s!
Just now catching up with this episode. Damn I'm gonna miss this show.
I would love to see you guys review “Nothing But Trouble” starring Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase. A great and weird movie
That's one of my favourite movies. I feel like James would rip it to shreds, Justin would rip it to shreds but not in a fun way and Kieran would... maybe like it!
@@AndysRambles what about Tony?
One of the best under rated movies ever, a true cult classic
Justin: “it’s about 10 videos apart”, proceeds to pick up 5 videos,” yea that’s about it” lmao that almost killed me
And they're, like, touching each others hands while they pass each other the VHS tapes. And right after Justin doffs his mask he wipes his mouth with his hands. If they were trying to do a comedy bit they nailed it.
still remember my 2nd grade teacher confiscating my Sgt Slaughter GI Joe figure, never got it back, still pissed about it
What did teachers do with toys they took? Maybe gifted it to some teacher's pet the following year?
That Sealab thing had me cracking the hell up lol
Jinx and Tunnel Rat were my favorite characters on the Joe side. I loved the Swamp Rats team too. Buzzsaw, Torch, Tomax and Xamot..
I was never able to get Nemesis Enforcer, Golobulus or any of the Cobra-La members. Golobulus was a fantastic character.
I literally got all the new characters from this movie for my birthday that year.
Not Buzzsaw, his name was Buzzer.
James at 16:30 no idea what's going on
I was only 6 when this came out... I loved it so much... I probably watched that Pythona intro 20 times (if not hundreds)... As well as the Nemesis one when he comes out of the snow/ice... damn that movie was amazing! :)
That intrusion sequence is awesome. My favorite music of the series as well
The intro of the movie with the battle above the Statue of Liberty was just awesome!!! Pure action-adventure pleasure!!
I remember cobra commander kinda being a good guy in this movie.
Kieran just cemented him being the coolest of the bunch... Cobra tatoo! And cats! Damn!
GI Joe cartoon was one of the reasons I joined the army , as an enlisted then officer
One thing I liked about the GI JOE cartoon was that they put a lot of detail in the background. Most cartoons would put in bland backgrounds, but I find every scene to be really impressive.
Thank you Cinemassacre for helping me keep my sanity during this wack-ass quarantine.
Quick Fact : Sgt Slaughter is a WWE character... he was NEVER in the Army... he is an actor and thats it... i've seen a few documentaries about when he was "claiming" he had been in the Army, which was false, but back then wrestlers would stick to their characters 24/7 as if it were reality...
FireHawkX Dedication like that has its downsides as well; remember how he was treated at restaurants during his “Iraqi sympathizer” character run?
Sergeant Slaughter was why me and my cousins bought this on VHS
I had his tank and figure i loved them
An itty...Bitty...Ditty bag!
Trevor Norton Wink he’s the only season I watch the movie
We all go home or nobody goes home
Kerian you are the man for this! Thanks for bringing so much knowledge and love to this movie review! My favorite parts of this movie (besides the opening) are roadblock (he goes straight John McClain, die hard in this movie) and nemesis enforcer
A few years ago I had the honor and privilege to interview Buzz Dixon, one of the legendary writers on the Sunbow family of cartoons. He said that the writers the shows as part of the same universe. Ace from GI Joe eventually became part of the Inhumanoids, so in a way James kinda knew of GI Joe.
I friggin' loved GI Joe as a kid. Specifically the 80's cartoon and small Hasbro toys. Looking back, it's so damn weird.
Also, eBaum's World.
Loved this movie growing up. Watched it waaaaay too many times
Cobra commander possibly survived, he was in a season 3 episode of the transformers which is supposed to take place in the future.
The episode was called Only human, he was called old snake.
This stood out to me in 1987 due to the excellent animation by Toei Animation Co., Ltd. and the inclusion of sci-fi elements.
Covid-19, a horror movie come to life, nationwide looting one of the darkest times known to man. James having no G.I. Joe background could be the biggest travesty of them all.😱
We are approaching the end of days, my comrade.
In my mid 40's and clearly remembering how everyone I knew was nuts about this and other cartoons, but listening to the absolutely absurd explanation of the plot, and now I am old enough to realize a lot of these shows were nothing more than 30 minute toy commercials.
Yes and no. I feel that Transformers, G.I. Joe and other the toy-based animated series Sunbow/Marvel were well written and fun, despite being commercials.
Nostalgia critic described the opening best
"Crashing through the sky, comes a fearful cry. COBRA! If you don't believe, the 80's sing it!"
*Cut to G.I. Joe opening*
Without Tony, this show is 100% watchable. Wow. His silence is pleasing to the ear.
James seems to not know a lot about a lot of things from his era. Like why?
Because he was trying to complete those hard Nes games
I don't even think James watches the movies he never really had anything to add
It's not a horror movie or video game.
He was to busy trying to beat Contra lol.
If this guy didn't have identical interests to mine he's a FRAUD
Hasbro's been streaming the show on their youtube.
FOR REAL, ARE REVIEWING THIS?!
Bitter Taste of Old Memory.
I rented the VHS from a local videostore so many times. One day in my VCR, the Tape was gone...
I had to pay the replacement fee for destroying (damaging) the Tape.
And my bio-father yelled at me for renting the same tape over and over again until he had to pay the replacement fee.
VHS VCR bitter taste of old memories. Thank you for take me back to the past♪
Awesome man this made my day thank you guys
James is like: i'm here only because no one's gonna watch it without me.
This is one of my favorite movies.
Alright, now I gotta watch the Robot Chicken GI Joe episode with the addition of "Fumbles" the sniper.
This movie was on tv a lot when I was a kid. Before and after the commercial breaks Sargent slaughter did the MC’ing and it was awesome
this movie is awesome. period. 😁
big box gi joes are basically ken dolls
But with more articulation. (If you are talking about the original 60s ones).
Cobra Commander came back eventually. He shows up in a Transformers episode as 'Old Snake".
Also if you look up this video: G.I Joe:Sgt. Savage and the Screaming Eagles, you’ll see him at around 15: 50
I couldn't really pay attention to anything Kieran said with Coolio looking at me from over his shoulder on that cover of Phat Beach
When will you do a inhumanoids review?
D'COMPOSE!
@@J0SHUAKANE God he was so freaky.
@@funkyweapon1981 he's also cobra commander and starscream.
He did it years ago.
Yo Joe!
Freaking great episode, been waiting for you guys to talk about gi joe for ages.
I was born in '87, and in the early '90s the basic troop-builder Cobras were the ones I could never find
Hail Cinemassacre, I mean Hydra...
Hail to James!
Hail God=Lord Jesus Christ! He is the only One that is worthy.
itty bitty ditty bag
"Pork Chop Sandwiches" man i miss those videos
An animated movie review nice! I hope we get more of these.
5:50 I remember Inhuminiods! Do you remember Robotix?! Or bigfoot and the muscle machines!?
Inhumanoids was pretty brutal and metal for an 80's toy ad/cartoon.
I loved those cartoons. Jem started from the same show, and was the only one to get a full series.
Remember Spiral Zone????
Weird how Jem was the only one in that Super Sunday block that got popular, though Sunbow did plenty, even Transformers and G.I. Joe involved them
i remember when duke died in the movie. that was crazy , but they changed it to he was only "sick" in later copys
This movie was so awesome as a kid.
I could listen to Kieran talk about GI Joe for hours
