Yep. He was Toad on the Xmen movie also. He's racking up a pretty sweet list of bad guy characters.

Snake Eyes is a good guy...

Yeah storm shadow is the bad one. I have zero faith in the guy playing cobra commander or brendan frazier playing gung ho.

They generally have a good cast of actors/actresses but not so much matching them up with the characters. Like the Rock playing Shipwreck? I just don't see that as a good matchup. The Rock does not look very sailorly...:5

Beach Head?

Where is Beach Head!?

Probably just not a main character.

I'm guessing the same with Firefly.

They just need to get some other big time favorites like they did in the 87 movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093066/

Of course that is easier said than done for a live action film.

Doh! Well, it's probably been 25 years since I played with those toys. The storyline and characters are a little spotty in my mind now.

Great, so his big accomplishments in this flick are going to be enforcing the environmental agenda and getting the guns away from those crazy American rednecks who don't trust the all-powerful benevolence of the World Government.

"It's time to see how we handle litter-bugs around here!"

"Holy Crap! Is that a truck battery, and wires?!?"

"And that cup you threw out the window was styofoam, to boot. Do you have any *idea* how long that will last in a landfill?"

"I'm sorry! I *swear* I'll never use the drive through again!!"
"It's too late for apologies, you Earth killing S.O.B!"

Check out these funny spoofs of the old GI Joe cartoons. Pretty funny shit.

This movie sounds gay. GI Joe works for the UN and solves the world's problems. They should have followed Team America and just let him go around the world kicking ass. American style, cause freedom isn't free!

Did I read right somewhere that G.I. Joe stands for "Global Integrated Joint Operations Expedition" now or some other hippy dippy United Nations bullcrap?

Ya just have to laugh to stop from crying.
