G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: Difference between revisions

* [[Cool Shades]]: The Baroness never forgets hers...even after a train collision.

** She also wears them at night, but that can be justified by their high-tech use.

* [[Creator Cameo]]: [[Larry Hama]] as a NATO general.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The opening shows the U.S. Army stands no chance of winning against <s>M.A.R.S.</s> Cobra and its technology, the bullets from their rifles pinging off mook armor while they're torn apart by "pulse weapons".

* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: The movie is sometimes only one step away from slapping "IN STORES NOW" on the bottom of the screen... which is perfectly in line with much of the G.I. Joe franchise.

* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Anyone else notice that Snake Eyes, who is in the top percentile of his class, happens to be a white former street urchin?

** Oddly, it seems in the movie version both of the top ninjas aren't Japanese, given that both actors for Storm Shadow are Korean; he even speaks Korean in the movie.

** And the actor who plays the younger Storm Shadow is Chinese American. So ''everyone but the Japanese are awesome ninjas''. Good to know.

** Snake-Eyes suddenly lets go of the Baroness' SUV during the Paris chase:

{{quote|'''The Baroness:''' He gave up.

{{spoiler|(The SUV is suddenly blindsided by an oncoming train.)}} }}

** At one point General Hawk is restricted to a wheelchair.
