The sequel to ''[[G.I. Joe: theThe Rise of Cobra (Film)|G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra]]'', the elite team finds themselves framed as terrorists and assaulted by their own people, killing most of their numbers. Cobra has slipped moles into the United States government and are now in control from behind the scenes. With manpower and supplies limited, they have to take strike back and undo what has happened.
 
The film is clearly marketed to be a change of pace from ''Rise of Cobra'', dealing with more close quarters fights and infiltration, less (though not ''no'') extravagant technology and submarine battles.
Line 16:
* [[All-Star Cast]]: Not quite, but [[Dwayne Johnson]] and [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] are featured very prominently, Johnson playing a normally secondary character Roadblock.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Roadblock isn't exactly one of the leading members of the G.I. Joe team, but will be playing a big role in the movie.
* {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|Duke}}. Part of the reason for the delay was that {{spoiler|test audiences weren't happy that there wasn't much development of the relationship between Duke & Roadblock before Duke's death early in the film}}.
* [[Badass]]: Naturally.
** [[Badass Army]]: The Joes, as well as Cobra.
Line 28:
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: Stated by the Joes after being attacked
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: A lot of ninja mooks show up, and Snake Eyes challenges them with his protege Jinx while on a MOUNTAIN.
* [[Kill'Em All]]: Apparently the way the original cast will be reduced to just Duke and Snake Eyes (plus President!Zartan and Storm Shadow in the Cobra side) is by killing them in [[The Purge]]. {{spoiler|And even then, [[Back for Thethe Dead|Duke's one of the casualties]]}}.
* [[Kill Sat]]: The second trailer shows one, {{spoiler|and it's apparently how Cobra breaks London like an egg.}}
* [[Lady in Red]]: Lady Jayne and Jinx.
Line 39:
* [[President Evil]]: As shown in [[The Stinger]] for ''Rise of Cobra'', President!Zartan is pretending to be the President of the USA. He even puts Cobra banners on the White House, since Cobra is now the "offical"
* [[The Purge]]: The Joes are annihilated under orders by [[President Evil]].
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Compare and contrast ''[[G.I. Joe: Renegades]]'', which featured Duke, Tunnel Rat, Snake Eyes, Roadblock and Scarlett trying to clear their names after being accused of a crime they didn't commit, fighting a guerrilla war against COBRA forces and the authorities.
** Which perhaps not so coincidentally, sounds like [[The A-Team (TV)|something else]].
* [[Revenge of the Sequel]]
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Of 9 months from June 2012 to March 2013, so the film could be converted to 3D & more scenes could be shot with Channing Tatum, after the main complaints from test screenings were that the film wasn't going to be in 3D and audiences weren't happy with how little time was spent on the development of the relationship between Duke & Roadblock before {{spoiler|Duke's death}}. It was also anounced a month before the films release, and roughly a week before the toys were due to be released.
