New G.I. Joe clips

Stephen Sommers and his CGI hammer are about your wallop your face with the human action cartoon G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA, but what do we REALLY know about Joe, yo?

Fortunately the makers of the movie have put together a little history of the G.I. JOE character/product, from the doll with the kung fu grippage right through the violent animated series where everyone shot at each other with color-coded laser but nobody ever died. Prepare yourself with some JOE background, and a couple of action sequences complete with rubbery digital stuntmen and silver bouncy suits, before you check out the flick August 7th.

Now you’ve acquired that knowledge. And possessing that knowledge is a substantial percentage of the confrontation.
