G.I.Joe The Movie Intro - 1987 - English (USA-CANADA)

[Ofnir6]

Best fucking theme ever.

[tolmondh]

What I loved most about Gi Joe is how all those rounds were expended and all that hardware destroyed but no one was ever killed in battle.

[blackeaglepictures]

1:03 Yoo Joe!!!

[Zoloft77]

I miss Chris Latta as Cobra Commander even though he was more of a buffoon in the cartoons than the comics.

[MrAzers]

greatest movie ever.

[583302]

Snake Eyes is the best.

[MsTobuscus]

2:25 Ahhh back when terrorist wasn't considered a swear word...

KOOOOOBRAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

[arsontech]

This Video Is All Bush Saw When He Invaded Iraq.

[abeauregardpoole]

omg.... co-BRAAAAAAAAA... co-BRAAAAAAAAA

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

Makes me miss my Amoeba.

[maldicientin]

That Cobra guy at 0:39 is gonna teabag the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nords]

@maldicientin stupid comment ... but .... I still laugh at it lollll

[supak0ma]

what a great psi-op!

[young5ever]

Notice the clock on Cobra Commander's bomb: He takes TWO MINUTES to get from the hovercraft to the Statue of Liberty, but Duke carries the bomb back in only SEVEN SECONDS

[nords]

@young5ever What I see is that CC received the bomb at 5:00 (then it cut in time to see him fly out of the hovercraft and its 4:00 ) between the time he received the bomb and takeoff he must have gave order. On landing the clock show 2:50 but then again we didnt see the entire flight he must have avoid laser, explosions and yell to some troops). I dont see any problem with that. On the other hand Duke took 8sec to the hovercraft with afterburner jetpack, a bit strange but you know its the Joes.

[TronZEROPi]

@young5ever What you should really be asking is why is the bomb is set before its been planted.

[TheRealThreeP]

@young5ever Maybe Duke has a better jetpack than Cobra Commander?

[shadowhawkd]

18 people are cobra operatives.

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

POWER TO THE KLAN !!!

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

They should repackage GI Joe as SEAL Team 6 vs. Al Queda. "Al Queda Commander is in his secret bunker! But Look! It's the new ST6 Stealth Chopper 6! (pilot included)"

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of "G.I. Joe: The Movie" Video Open From 1987.

[nukehumvee]

Some of the few moments I wish I was American...

[DraggAddams]

Its like they are subliminally talking about penis when they sing COBRA and they give the camera shot of one of cobra soldiers balls at 0:33 thru 0:41

[ELJimO1985]

SNAKE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZiZunLung]

Cobraaaaaaaaa !

[Myrmidon1]

i love how even the intro itself tells a story

[VincentVonDoom47]

Alpine's part was badass. One of my favorite joes.

[22centman36]

GI JOE, A REAL AMERICAN HERO

[vidviewer401]

Jet pods ftw

[Nedspodos]

cobraaaaa.....COBRA!!!....cobr­aaaaa.....COBRA!!!

[1nnovator]

This is way more awesome than I remember. Cobra, COBRA!!!

[swifttiger]

coooobra COBRAHHHHH

[kobaltx]

This is what Homefront should have been like.

[vada2000]

ok how many of you guys hit the replay on this?

[FoxAttaak]

@vada2000 i've been watching this at least once or twice a day

[Nedspodos]

@FoxAttaak And singing along?/

[illuminatioracle]

differences between this and america in 2011:

1. 0:55 terrorists would be shaking hands with american mainstream media for all the support, not punching them.

2. terrorists are called terrorists, not freedom fighters or martyrs.

[saucerspecial]

This opening video makes me want to be a terrorist

[saltedsnake]

Fuck. Yes!



[Dwnshifter]

This was a neccesary part of childhood: My dad is a veitnam veteran and GI Joe ARAH was a good clean for my him and I to play modern war.

Yeah I know it was just another toy comercial, but Cobras could be blasted guitlessly as opposed to say Germans Japanese North Koreans and Veitnamese

Thank you Cobra(sunbow and hasbro) for providing that totally evil but unoffensive enemy that I bravely fought when I was 6 years old.

LMFAO @ 1:43

[DimeraFan28]

If I May, I Would Like To Deidcate This Intro To All Of Our Fighting Men and Women Overseas, Because I Believe They Are The REAL G.I. Joes, and They're Also The Real American Heroes.

[weneedheroesnow]

@DimeraFan28 Pass it along to your friends.I gave you a thumbs up. Yo Joe....

[Zorn27]

Cobra Commander: "Ehh maybe I shouldn't have spent 100 billion on a flying aircraft carrier... instead just shoot a missile into the statue of liberty would have worked."

[XxIronSpiderxX]

To think, only 17 members of Cobra have found this video...

[weneedheroesnow]

@XxIronSpiderxX Must be members of Obama's Cabinet.Hillary Clinton a.k.a."The Baroness"

[ZombieHunter63]

lol 0:36 cobraaaaaaa!!

[ihatefurrys]

I still say this video sounds better with "America Fuck Yeah" over it.

[Omeganed0]

I think Cobra's much more interesting than the Joes, but I have to admit, the part where CCommander gets punched off the tower is badass.

[DCProductions77]

17 dislikes what are fools smoking on?

[JWade29]

Why the hell is Cobra Commander delivering the bomb? That's what you have minions for.

[nords]

@JWade29 because cobra commander have often did itseft what other could do for him ;)

[Leatherbubba]

@JWade29 Serpentor was the leader at this point. CC was demoted to just another stooge.

[mattsmt20]

@JWade29 Because unfortunately the show replaced him with Scerpentor and he made Cobra Commander do all the grunt work and made this show take a bad slip for awhile

[PinkertonStudsworth]

@JWade29 Hahaha! I just thought the same shit while watching this!

[Zulto]

@JWade29 It is the mark of a true leader that you lead the charge at the front - not hang around in the back with your hand on the escape pod

[22centman36]

@Zulto zuito, in past centries, yes, but now, in modern times, all leaders lead from the rear. First you send in your front line troops to get whiped out, then you send in your second line troops to soften up the area, then you send in your third line troops to get all the victory and awards.

[nbvhfgchgfxgf]

@JWade29 Because Serpentor ordered him to, This he Commanded!!!

[64CCube]

@JWade29 If you want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself.

[JWade29]

@64CCube

If that's the case,Serpentor might as well have handled it. Because we know Cobra Commander never did anything right.

[esdeguz]

@JWade29 cause Cobra Commander don't care, Cobra Commander don't give a shit

[Kujakuseki01]

@JWade29 I'm with you. Destro, Tomax, Xamot and Baroness are all just hanging out there handing him the bomb when he could be sending one of them.

[viciousclan]

It's funny, this intro alone is better than that New CRAPPY G.I.JOE Movie. Period!!

[BobSfan1]

@viciousclan yeah seriously the live action movie was a total joke!

[enjolraslechimiste]

@viciousclan Well said!

[cancerman50]

@viciousclan Couldn't agree with you more. You don't have to see the moive. The trailer alone shows that it sucks.

[calebrhodus]

@viciousclan Execept the intro was already better that the movie it was from. Seriously... do I have to remind you of... COBRA-LA-LA-LA!

[mephosto]

@viciousclan when captain america was a better gi joe movie then the gi joe movie, i die a little inside. this movie rocked except fot the COBRA-LALALALALALALA line, that drove me crazy.

[Kujakuseki01]

@viciousclan This intro alone is also much better than the rest of the movie turned out to be. :\

[UchuuKeijiRaidanjin]

@viciousclan I don't know why people hate the new movie so much :( I mean I liked the movie a lot. Yes there were some problems with it but I overall enjoyed it. It's cause there's some small things to nitpick about, people think the movie's worse than The Room. I loved the new movie and that's coming from a big fan of the old cartoon ^_^

[nords]

@UchuuKeijiRaidanjin @viciouslan I believe the G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra was trully a real G.I.Joe story, I know well G.I.Joe and when I watch the new movie I feel like its a real G.I.Joe. Of course I hate what they've done with Cobra Commander and some casting (Duke, Ripcord, Heavy Duty, General Hawk). The Exo Suit its crap and not trully G.I.Joe but beside that PERFECT G.I.Joe Movie. Can't wait for G.I. Joe: Retaliation

[UchuuKeijiRaidanjin]

@nords Same here :DDD the only thing that really bugged me was the Cobra Commander but that's really all there is to bug me about the new movie. I mean, They could have made his mask look more like the original and have his voice disguiser higher pitch instead of low pitched :( But meh, I'm happy with what I got anyways (Excluding the commander at the end of the movie) ^_^

[txrich80]

as much as i loved growing up watching gi joe, this is where the brain washing of children in the 80-90's began. The glorification of war with epic battles with no consequences (death).

[jpringle1979]

@txrich80 Actually Duke died, Optimus Prime died in the Transformers movie, and I'd rather this than have my kid taught that we need to "talk" to them and come to an understanding. Sometimes there is no negotiation. Sometimes evil needs to be taken down, and take down hard. Should it be the first option? no. But if its necessary we should not shy away from it either.

[nords]

@jpringle1979 Duke didnt die, it was indeed dead in the original script and sequence but was quick change so it was only injured thats the official statement from Hasbro

[summer20105707]

@nords

Naturally I feel bad that kids were shocked by this. But death is part of life. And in war there is death. Its not realistic to say I'm going to a war and theres no chance of me dying.

[leonbushnell]

COBRA LALALALALALALALA!!!!

[JediElvis1]

This was so fucking bad ass!!!!! I remember them premiering it one random night on channel 2. "GI JOE the Movie tonight at 8pm" Prime Time!!! A shame how today's kids get none of this. My nephew LOVES the old GI JOE, and Transformers toons, especially Transformers the Movie 1986 which we all know was one of the best movies of ALL time, and gave my generation an introduction into life's hard lessons wit the death of Optimus Prime

[JA0127]

Chris Latta am i correct

[ridleypwnzz]

COBRA RETREEEAT

[mets2128]

@ridleypwnzz YO JOE!

[UberMetallMaschine]

man, magnum p.i is awesome

[1972snah]

the beat theme music video ever

[Ebb1993isgreat]

Crashing through the night, evil taking flight! COBRA!

[jykcor]

If the song continued forever, imagine how many high it's eventually be with those key changes XD

[totojpx]

you joe

[TheNewEmphinix]

FUCKING EPIC! This is awesome

Rise of Cobra lacked a story.

[DUCKTAPE702]

Angry Joe!!!!! Angry Joe is there! Angry Joe!!!!!! Bad games beware!

[robertson109]

@DUCKTAPE702 i really dont know why hasbro has not sued the mexican shit out of him LOL!

[steeltownbrown52]

@CelesteK What did your Mom have against them, feared that it would inspire you to join the army? LOL

If so, then I totally understand.

[CelesteK]

@steeltownbrown52 No my mother is a pacifist and she didn't think that us having war toys were appropriate for us. She calls it "stupid American patriotism" were her exact words. I hate that even now when I'm grown and watching G.I. Joe on TV that I wouldn't use my best judgement.

[ZackTheGopher]

With the money spent on weapons and tech, Cobra could have bought the asses of Congressmen, Senators, judges, governors, the President, etc. effectively ruling the world without so much trouble, just like normal evil people do.

[steeltownbrown52]

@ZackTheGopher LOL, true.

[coolclaytony]

@ZackTheGopher Shhh. The C.C. don't like it when his plans are questioned!

[sonpanchan]

@ZackTheGopher If Cobra did that then we wouldn't have a fucking cool intro now would we? Besides Gi Joe was about beating Cobra senselessly and uber-patriotism.

[Thrashgu]

@ZackTheGopher normal people lol! The Cobra Commander is a bipolar salesman with an irritating voice, He isn't normal.

[joeywilson3]

Cobra Commander is always getting pwned in the intros, lol.

[JA0127]

cobra commander's voice sounds like Starscream from Transformers Generation 1

[gattiward]

@JA0127 same voice actor

[coolclaytony]

@JA0127 thats cuz it is.

[az12223]

i hate america but i think i dont hate american cartoons

[arashi86]

this is the only G.I. Joe movie i acknowledge existence of

[mightybluespider]

This was awesome. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked donkey balls. You were warned.

[iTeaze888]

This shit is master.. took me back into time.. wow

[thejokerslaughbeware]

these 4 minutes are the best gi joe anything- Snake Eyes flipping over the Viper out of the Trouble Bubble is priceless- only 80's cartoon opening that got away with people dying the Vipers on the Liberty -check, the dude who Snake Eyes flipped over-check, and lets not forget all those people that must have died on the craft that Duke blows up - YO JOE!!!!!!!!

[thejokerslaughbeware]

this three minutes was better than the movie- this is so badass if you notice theres not that many parachutes or people jumping off buses this people died and exploded to bloddy hell in this little 3 minute animated short- memories

[mightybluespider]

@thejokerslaughbeware Well, in the battle against terror, people die.... preferably terrorists. Dontcha just love it?

[bowserhunter]

I want this to happen in real life.

[DimeraFan28]

First Off I Just want to Wish Everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Oh Btw I Didn't Like The Live Action Movie, In Fact I waited till the very end of the movie just to hear this theme song. I Hope they make a second G.I. Joe Live Action Movie. and They better put the this theme song on it.

[illuminatioracle]

little idiots born in the 90s, don't talk shit. u mad cuz your cartoons are square fake ass anime wannabes. ahem. last airbender, teen titans, ahem.

[illuminatioracle]

COBRALALALALALALALALALALALALAL­ALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAL­ALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAL­A!

[ZONEDinsantiy]

damn this cobra theme song is fucking awsome

[jpringle1979]

Run you little blue bastards...

[Nedspodos]

Say what you want of the Reagan era(and I may agree with you) but it brought some of the most BADASS!!!! cartoons and movies EVER!!!!

[totojpx]

Philipphines my homeland is one of the allies of USA or America Im GI JOE Fanatic When I was young until now Hail GI JOE

[temperex]

@totojpx YO JOE!! YO JOE!!!

[totojpx]

@temperex thank you men

[totojpx]

i love the intro of gi joe ai im a fanatic my country is one of the ally of americaor USA the Philipphines hail GI JOE

[lacjr1977]

well. we have learned a couple of things here. 1. Don't attack NYC on 7/4. 2. Look around and see if someone has a cannon pointed at you. 3 if bazooka has his bazooka, duck. Don't let bazooka run with that that thing in his hands. see 2:12-2:15

[Killroy133]

I am 16, and this is one of my favorite movies. Ever. Of all time. COBRALALALALALALA

[icarus2152]

Who says America can't do Anime? Yo Joe!!!

[zepyhrantes]

@icarus2152 The fact that most of early Transformers and Joe (and most 80's animated shows) were done by a Japanese animation studio. So yeah America still can't do anime, they just outsource it. :p

[ShawnMcHugh]

The only things that ever get hit from laser fire in the cartoon are B.A.T's and Vehicles (from which u nearly ALWAYS see the pilot safely bailout =)

[togurotheman]

I love the bit where Shipwreck or whatever his name is has to duck a shot from his own guys.

His face is priceless.

[rathraven1313]

@togurotheman That was Bazooka who nearing took off Shipwreck's head. Only Bazooka could take out an army by tripping.

[vidviewer401]

Oh and thank you France for the statue:)

[az12223]

"human freedom" you mean american freedom

[warguyflims]

At 1:54 They sound the battle CRY! YO JOE YO JOe

[lordlordington]

@csujake, yes. Not to mention that not only does Duke plant the bomb on their ship while wearing a jet pack, he does with 8 FREAKING SECONDS LEFT!!!

[warguyflims]

@lordlordington That is awesome!

[whitebishop1]

YO JOE!

[DeckyStrikesBack]

Makes the live action film look like shit

[CsBTransition]

Fun Fact: This is 673% more entertaining than the rest of the movie.

[IamEVILBLANKA]

one of the best intros to any anime i loved it as a kid btw im british so i got the superior action force intro. its my opinion still even this version is great

[BlazinFire172]

This is one of my all time favorite movies....I used to have this on VHS

[Slixer]

Duke looks utterly pissed when he sent that Cobra to his death!

[nobodysperfect06]

i hated the 2009 live-action movie

[Koolkid40]

Classic americana.

[Omeganed0]

The 2009 film is fine if you're looking for mindless action and hammy acting. Hell, in that mind set its probably great!

[drbayoms]

How in the hell can you NOT like this? I am an 80"s kid without remorse, even to this day. No amount of college and traveling and marriage and settling down and raising my beautiful child and.....well you get the point. None of that will ever strip me of the acknowledgement, that I grew up in the best era of cartoons and action figures, Ever! Anything else as far as cartoons and action figures will always be just a sad attempt at the "lightening in a bottle" we had as children of the 80's.

[cancerman50]

I know. Ducktales was the big thing for me and my GI Joe hovercraft is still sitting in the basement somewhere.

[wolfkniteX]

funny how they have an epic battle near the statue of liberty, yet the statue itself never takes any damage throughout the fight

[nords]

@wolfkniteX or nobody die

[TheKodiak72]

@nords Nords.. didnt you see some of the Cobras dying ?

[skinflutey]

@nords at 1:36 one dies and ther is at least one more that snake eye kills.

[SergioWW1WW2]

@nords well dude, tell me the guy at 1:11 didn't die :)

[nords]

@SergioWW1WW2 no he fall on the balloon stand. ;)

[SergioWW1WW2]

@nords WTF are you serious? are you watching 1:11??????? dude you're blind

[nords]

@SergioWW1WW2 I was looking at the guy falling from the explosion at 1:09 but if your really taking about the B.A.T exploding at 1:11 ... its not even human its a Robot so who cares about that.

[Omeganed0]

@wolfkniteX The Joes are just that good.

[warguyflims]

@wolfkniteX yeah I noticed that to!

[Yarahaha]

@wolfkniteX What I found funny is that G.I. Joe came out of Liberty's torch. Meaning they either knew Cobra was going to attack and decided to wait there a bit while they attacked and possibly hurt civilians or, when they came onto the scene, they decided that instead of fighting Cobra straight away they would climb the statue and start the attack from the all packed together around the torch.

[greatwareagle]

@Yarahaha The Joe's would've come out sooner but they were drawing straws to see who would get to do the "YO JOE" batle cry. Go figure, Duke won. But there is strong suspicion that he cheated. Both Quick Kick and Flint have reported seeing him manipulate the sizes of the straws on several such occasions. Because of this, A special Senate Oversight Committee is looking into these allegations. If found guilty, Duke faces serious jail time for manipulation of straw-drawing.

[dfc2276]

@wolfkniteX Well if you hammer heads seen the point of it all your heads would not still be in the sand.

[Bla31n]

Where's Firefly?

[kailemagnus]

@Bla31n

Firefly was actually a REALLY minor character in the cartoon series. I think he is in the GI Joe animated movie as a character off in the background but I'm pretty certain he doesn't have any lines.

[Bla31n]

@kailemagnus One thing I do know is that he was hired by the CC to have Snake-Eyes killed in the MARVEL COMICS. What they ought to do is reboot it in an animated adult series or feature and use the material of the comics, but use the Afghan War as a backdrop, instead of Viet Nam.

[kailemagnus]

@Bla31n

True, but he thought better of it and hired Zartan at the last minute. Zartan mistook Hard Master for Snake Eyes and killed him instead, leading Storm Shadow to blame Snake Eyes for the Hard Master's death.

One of the newer, non-marvel comic series is a reboot and uses afghanistan (actually I could be wrong on that but it IS some shithole desert country) as a backdrop for some of the character origins.

[tokando69]

Good to see such good animation in the west before Japan took over in the 90's Fucking awesome, well done America.

[nords]

@tokando69 in fact the movie was done in the Toei Animation studio in Japon ;)

[tokando69]

@nords Haha well there we go...I thought for a minute America did some great animation other than the Disney stuff lol

[nords]

@tokando69 lolll nope ;)

[TehComs]

@nords Hey, let's not forget Don Bluth. The was plenty of excellent animation being produced over here back in the day. Disney may have been the paragon of western animation, but mark my words it wasn't the only studio out there.

'Sides the animation in this toon may be cool to look at, but it's awfully choppy. A sign of Japanese intervention.:P

[temperex]

@nords obviously Japan loves America!!

[SunGawdRa]

@tokando69

Heck, both countries send it to Korea to get done, anyway...

[SunGawdRa]

@tokando69

Looney Tunes?

[tokando69]

@SunGawdRa looney tunes was good fun no doubt!! but the animation was shit!

[lazorman8]

@tokando69 hey hey hey, yer forgetting the Transformers movie in 86

[vidviewer401]

@nords Um... Hasbro, Sunbow Productions (Owned by 20th Century Fox), and Marvel Productions (Sony Pictures Entertainment); all American companies at the time, also had a hand in making this film. Not just a Japanese studio...

[MysticArksRevenge]

@nords I agree. It is too bad that Japan CANNOT do overseas animation to American cartoons anymore. They always have to go with Korea to do the overseas animation. I prefer the overseas animation that Japan has done for G.I. Joe, and for Transformers.

[MrMRWINDMASTER]

@tokando69 As a matter of fact this animation was made in Japan.

[MrMRWINDMASTER]

@tokando69 Dude this animation was made in Japan by Konami Studios.

[strikerk]

@tokando69

The west never had good animation. Even Thundercats was drawn by Japanese animators. Does nobody ever actually read the credits in TV shows back then? XD
