Posted 17 years ago

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.
