What pre-existing movies resemble GI.Joe most?

First off you have 'the Last Detail' With Jack Nicholson. Might as well be called 'Shipwreck the Movie' (I know the movie came before shipwreck).
Infact the voice actor who did the voice for shipwreck (Neil 'Neilson' Ross) was quoted saying that Nicholsons character was the 'main inspiration' for the voice of Shipwreck. You can read about it, as well as hear an audio clip here http://www.grave-diggers.com/gijoe.htm

Nicholson as 'Buddusky' AKA 'Shipwreck' *Contains Adult language* http://youtube.com/watch?v=e-k0d8G2Iqs&feature=related
Theatrical Trailer http://youtube.com/watch?v=GfZGNnDCbYQ&feature=related

The second film that comes to mind is Predator. At least GI.Joe fans can't help be reminded of Spirit when watching this film. Here's 'Billy' AKA 'Sprit' in a clip from 'Predator' http://youtube.com/watch?v=8XfH1G1j5qs&feature=related

If you stretch the imagination one can see a host of 'Joes' in this ensemble cast. From 'Stalker' to 'Gung Ho', and so on. Minus of coars The Predator it's self.

Yeah, Predator is the first movie that comes to mind.Also the TV show called The Unit is kinda Joe like.
I also have to now rent that Jack Nicholson movie because I was laughing so hard thinking he was Shipwreck.

if joe were made in 1982..........megaforce
if joe were made in 1994..........street fighter

thank god joe wasnt made in '82 or '94.

and sportingviper is correct...
if you look at predator youve got some very joe-esque characters in there...

ramirez would be flint
billy would be spirit
mac would be stalker
blaine would be gung ho
hawkins comes across as short fuze/grunt
and i guess dutch would have to be duke

and Predator is Storm Shadow!! ;)

I would say Sergeant Epps and Captain Lennox from Transformers were very Roadblock and Flint/Duke.

But closest to a Joe movie so far I guess would be Predator/Aliens if it was merged with x-men and not R-rated and not with any aliens....ummmm yeh so not alot like them atall i guess!

I think a couple of movies that kind of have a GI Joe "Special Missions" feel to them --
Bruce Willis "Tears of the Sun" and 1996's "Executive Decision"

This scene from 'the Life aquatic' reimnds me of Joe as well, albeit in a very ironic fashion. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xbSghPrDyj0
Very 'Live the Adventure'

Transformers. Especially the scene where they are fighting Scorpionik in the desert.

I imagine a movie about Snake-Eyes and Stormshadow would be like Kill Bill with men.
