[bcousin100]

yo joe! a real american hero! go hasbro! thanks for posting this vid who ever you are, us joe fans like our youtube.

[VengadorDorado91]

knowing is half the battle

the other half is:

25% red lasers

25% blue lasers :P

[SonawahesAntone]

What were the render settings to get such good quality?

[CGonzales033]

does anyone else feel the urge to support a candidate that will bomb the shit out of a third world country just the hell of it!?

[ultimadrago]

This is pretty badass.

[ppqqplz]

OMFG IM 5 years old again!!! must must watch cartoons again

[chapapanga]

just like with most of the 80' and some 90' cartoons , the opening/intro is the most awezome thing of the show , and then is like =/ ... at least the opening was awezome.

i remember the first time i saw the movie , in the intro i was naming every character i saw and later was like =/ ... i want to see the opening again.

[Kev95682]

This was the best part of the movie, alas.

[Kal853]

This is one of the high points of my childhood memories. I had all the Joes and nearly all the vehicles from 82 to 88. In my opinion their 7 1/2 foot long aircraft carrier. the USS Flagg, remains the greatest kids toy every made, certainly of the last 30 years. I still have it in pieces in my basement. Ok, starting to cry now.

[viciousclan]

This movie intro, even though it has that cheezy 80's feel to it. Sort of reminds me of the movie, Independence Day when the aliens attack. But, I enjoyed this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Independence Day.

[MaStErOfFeAr85]

Most bad ass intro in the history of EVER!, Nemesis Enforcer FTW!

[onikuno]

Denny Crane just got a hardon after watching this.

[botcon432]

This show and movie was awesome for the most. My problem is Duke and snake eyes are my favorites but after the first 5 episodes they appear less and less :(

[Generations1st]

As long as im alive i will do everything in my power to animate the 1980s style of cartoons and ressurects its era to the next generation..

[Copperfishireland]

This movie was so awesome, kids got their kicks for watching a majorly epic battle BEFORE THE MOVIE EVEN BEGINS.

[hillbilly2684]

, i just downloaded the audio from this and set it as the alarm clock ringtone on my phone.....

what a great day to start the morning

[Copperfishireland]

@hillbilly2684 u sir are my hero! Awesome idea

[OtorresFitness]

One word: EPIC!

[Ofnir6]

That quality. It's glorious.

[acegotflows]

this is the sickest intro ever. 

[theelusiveyeti]

Does Nick Fury know that Cobra is tear-assing around in the Helicarrier?

[Boricuastorm]

Love this! Gives me goosebumps! Too bad this movie sucked. The intro was epic. Can't top this!

[ForceMaximus84]

Thumbs Up if you have to watch this at least three times every time!!

[mjnoir1]

how does the movie look on blue ray? is it worth owning? Id like to think they up scaled or cleaned it up.

[EsquirePrime]

I think my testicles finally descended!

[PathOfJioFreed]

Is it sad that the second movie directed by the man who gave us a Bieber movie feels closer to the feel of this?

[22centman36]

@PathOfJioFreed well, the jury is still out on the second one, however the problem with most of these movies is that they are being makreted to sell the actors and not the story. the last one was designed to sell channing tatum as an actor, instead of the cast as an ensamble. Its a common problem with movies of the last decade. By example, if you see james camerons ALIENS, what you see in that film is en ensemble working together. 

[abysmalfiend]

i haven't seen this for two decades. i remember replaying the vhs copy of this movie back in the day as a kid over and over again. amazing childhood memories.

[jaildawg1971]

was this a second intro??? i dont remember this one...

[TheRealThreeP]

If this is not the most awesome thing you've ever seen, then you don't get out much.

[cholizo]

Here's why Cobra always lost: It took the Commander 2 minutes to fly down to plant the bomb, but it only took Duke 5 seconds to fly it back up. Get your shit together Cobra.

[wayneheck75]

Shots fired 1,000,000,000 deaths 0

[Resuteru]

Co-bra? Nowadays its more like Con-gress.

We need a GI Joe to stand up to the real threat to american freedom.

[SpeedRacerFlubber]

@Resuteru I wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a fight on the Statue Of Liberty if SOPA gets passed. And this scene would end up being the most disturbing thing.

[22centman36]

@Resuteru ahahhahhahaah.. i dont think anyone could handle the patriotism of GI JOE these days,.

[shuboy05]

It's too bad we'll probably never see a live action version of this battle (and it would be a perfect intro too).  New York City would never approve the filming permit...

[SpeedRacerFlubber]

1:51 I first, I thought that was an animation error. Then I replayed it and noticed that Snake Eyes hijacked that pod. Sly bastard is so fast, you don't even notice him sneaking up on the enemy.

[Conner3030]

@SpeedRacerFlubber that is because he is the baddest mo fo ever

[InternationalBoy]

4  words Dont fuck with duke. Major Blood learned the hard way.

[eppes]

this cartoon is responsible for the deaths of thousends of us soldiers

[afrasiabi96]

@eppes and call of duty too lol

[spyderc85]

this is one of the most badass intro to any movie ever made. Period. End of Story

[penske13]

one action force fan is pissed this is some boss ass shit!!

[monosaturated]

Aside from the overall greatness of this intro (that I've loved since childhood), we also see one of the rarest examples of the Commander's bravery... until he retreats BUT I DIGRESS!

[1200kristy]

DONT READ THIS Cause It Really Works. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY Cuz IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS reaLLY WORKS

[josetomastorres]

25 years later and @1:08 my hair still stands on end. This is what animation was all about.

[renra27]

Throwing a spear Lady Jaye? A spear? Get it together

[g8282]

1 person was put into a ditty bag..an itty bitty ditty bag!

[flash715]

This is SWEET!!!

[CombatSportFan]

I am more of a man just for watching this.

[SOUTHCOMCI334]

@CombatSportFan DAMN STRAIGHT.

[TophieSyngs]

THIS is done in 1987...

Take note people.

The animation and music is WAY better than what I'm seeing in 2011

[22centman36]

@TophieSyngs this beginning is so amazing on so many levels. You got everything told right in this beginning, 

[MaxGalactica418]

@TophieSyngs I think you forgot how poorly animated the actual movie was. It's pretty common for old (and new) cartoons to go apeshit on the animation budget for the openings.

[RaddSpencer]

@TophieSyngs Unfortunately, the quality falls apart after the intro sequence. Compare this to G.I. Joe Resolute which was made in 2009. Resolute is gorgeous.

[Kujakuseki01]

@TophieSyngs Eh. It really isn't. It's nostalgic for you, but this has the budget of a straight to video cartoon MOVIE. If you're comparing it to similar cartoon movies that go straight to dvd, the ones of today absolutely have higher quality animation.

I'd also point out to you that this opening's animation quality is significantly greater than the rest of the movie.

[Taric7]

@Kujakuseki01 GI Joe was scheduled to be released in theaters, but with the less than stellar box office results of My Little Pony and Transformers, they decided to release it straight to video. In addition, after the huge outcry over the death of Optimus Prime, it was decided that Duke wouldn't be killed off as originally intended, and that had to be reworked.

[TronZEROPi]

@TophieSyngs This is an OP so its not fair to compare it to shows.

[zwem6]

Look at QuickKick high kicking that cobra scum. he don't need any weapons. My Nigga!

[InternationalBoy]

@zwem6 word Quick Kick served taht dude with some Sweet Chin Music.

[narutodream12]

best part, SEAL Team Six makes GI Joe look like pansies

[TheRogueLeader]

"COBRA RETREAT..RETREAT"

those 3 words say it all..

[g8282]

the movie was endlessly entertaining especially the sgt slaughter parts :)

[shuboy05]

I noticed on this higher quality video that Bazooka trips in the background and accidentally fires his rocket launcher. What makes this funny is that the scene immediately cuts to Shipwreck getting his cap shot off. Bazooka probably owes Shipwreck an apology.

[AliensFan25]

This is what Cartoons are back in the day, nothing gets better than GI Joe, The Real Ghostbusters, TMNT, Thundercats, etc. ahhhhhh the 80s to mid 90s had the best cartoons around when i was a kid, too bad kids these days don't have this kind of animation anymore where the standards have gone to shit.

[TheElephant2009]

Now if only there was a Russian equal of GI Joe

[22centman36]

@TheElephant2009 there is, they are called the spetznaz. Look up dolf lungrens film called Red Scorpion.

[TheElephant2009]

cobraaaaa coBRAAAAAAA

[metalalan]

America, FUCK YEAH!

[22centman36]

And the crowd goes wild.

[mets2128]

YO JOE!

[MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

OMG, f-ing amazing.

[rba718]

AMERICA

[Coolyfett]

This is really good quality. Never seen it look this good. Classic Intro!

[sc0pl355]

Cobra Commander watched this right after filling out his claim with his insurance provider.

[gc3k]

the 'america fuck yeah' theme before team america

[DrRaddington]

Holy shit Alpine grappled into a moving jet, took it out (and ship with it might I add), and grappled to another airship to safety with his bro snake eyes.

That is the definition of hardcore.

[icqpimp]

@DrRaddington Salute

[Blastaar7]

@DrRaddington heck yeah man. Alpine and snake eyes def get coolest of the show. Though i also love blizzard and beachhead's back to back shooting

[StrikeFreedom986]

@DrRaddington you forgot one fatal thing, he smashed the wind shield with his bare hand, WITH HIS BARE HAND.

[zissoulander]

@DrRaddington WTF is Alpine swinging from? He's higher than the Statue of Liberty!

Answer: Cartoon suspension of belief / sheer force of awesomeness

[OfficialStriderHiryu]

@DrRaddington

That was badass indeed!

Snake-Eyes taking over the TrubbleBubble was a crowning moment of awesome for me.

[mathrenn2010]

Best movie intro ever.

[icqpimp]

@mathrenn2010 Salute

[HAHAYouFellForIt]

Lol, I love how the Red White and Blue is just giving the G.I. Joe logo a brofist of epic proportions. Fondest memory of my childhood.

[thackery12]

Gods, we need G.I. Joe now. Cobra has taken control of the USA promising Hope & Change! George Soros is Cobra Commander, Bobo the Clown is Destro, Moo-chelle is the Baroness, Rahm Immanuel & his quack-doctor brother are the Crimson Twins....oh yeah, & John Sweeney is Zartan & the SEIU are the Dreadnoks!

But we're voting them out next November! Yo Joe!!!

[micahman3000]

@thackery12

Hey, brother, please keep your politics out of my fond childhood memories. Politics is like American Idol, Abunch of people follow it, fight, argue, cry, and vote, but at the end of the day, no matter who it is, the 'winner' still sucks. 

[hungryman2500]

Yooooooo moe! Iiii mean joe!

[acuna13]

A wonderful memory from the good ole days.

[shadowwolfz]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JOE!

[BRUT3MURD3R3R]

wow i remember growing up in the 80s ,watching the A-Team , CHIPS , GI Joe , Dukes of Hazard , not like this crap on tv now , even my sons prefer looking at old cartoons over any of the bull they have now... thanks for posting this ..

[sc0pl355]

@BRUT3MURD3R3R In the 80's, we had best the best stuff. Best movies, best shows, best music, best economy, best cars, best of everything... Well, other than fashion anyway...

[Blastaar7]

@sc0pl355 90's economy had the 80's economy beat HANDS DOWN. I think 90's had better music too. But you're right on the movies and shows. I do miss rated R films.

[sc0pl355]

@Blastaar7 90's had best music? Nah, that's the 60's or 70's territory. 

[deathisjim]

The 3 minutes and 17 seconds of this intro was better than the couple of hours watching the live-action movie.

[jmdowden75644]

@deathisjim there was a live movie... lol

[g8282]

the best cartoon movie themes of the 80's: GI JOE and TRANSFORMERS

[sc0pl355]

@g8282 GI Joe and Transformers themes were badass, true enough. However, nothing beats Adventures of Galaxy Rangers

watch?v=k3EoBl5uBfU

Also don't forget Silverhawks, Thundercats and Robotech

[Blastaar7]

@sc0pl355 galaxy rangers had an awsome opening, explaining what happens "IN 2086". However, I like the mask opening song better. "masked crusaaaders working over time, fighting crime....FIGHTING CRIME!..."

[sc0pl355]

@Blastaar7 Yeah, Mask was good. I say a lot of the shows of the 80's and 90's had good theme songs.

[Blastaar7]

@sc0pl355 You're not lyin though. Galaxy rangers def had a great theme song. It almost screams karaoke.

[jamestanzra]

This sounds horrible The music is scratchy I'm sure glad I still Have the Rhino Release in 5.1 surround

[Directo13]

I want to join Cobra!

COOOOBBBRRAAAAAA!!!!!

[RockoMyler]

This is my religion.

[raddreamstar]

Cobra lalalalala laaaa

[raddreamstar]

Man...This intro almost brought a tear to my eye. There will never be such a pro America cartoon or even movie like this again.

[22centman36]

@raddreamstar radd everything is soo much more polticcal these days. we just cant be having a pure american ccartoon on tv.  Every country would go nuts if we did that.

[raddreamstar]

@22centman36 you are so right.

[murasakiahiru]

Looks nice in hd. Would have the blu ray but I heard it's region locked (I live in region B not A). Still looks nice as a remastered dvd.

[thejon128]

Because everything looks more badass in HD.

[TheADzioba]

This was & still is way better than Transformers: The Movie.

[neosuki]

@TheADzioba You're an idiot, Starscream.

[TheADzioba]

@neosuki - Worst comeback ever. Come up with something more constructive.

[cannonfodder4000]

@TheADzioba

Hey, if it wasn't for that movie, Duke would have died in this one. <BI

[mcmack2005]

Amerrricccaaaaa!!!! Americccaaaaa!!!!!

[Terryfan]

@dynomitis No doubt about it

[Terryfan]

@dynomitis I bet it would  look great and awesome on Blu=Ray

[seiya1337]

America, Fuck Yeah!

[HistorysMysterys]

Awesome quality,  good job.

[HapitokP]

Yo Joe!! :D

[carkastoken]

The video quality is fucking AMAZING! Can't wait to get my hands on the blu-ray!

[ZeroShift5000]

@carkastoken  Yeah I never seen it look so freaking crisp and clear

[Terryfan]

I want to get G.I.JOE On Blu Ray and seeing this classic intro I want get it!
