G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) - Trivia
Quote:
Stephen Sommers was attracted to this film as he felt it was the nearest chance he would get to making a James Bond film. The film itself pays homage to 007 films: - Cobra Commander, the Baroness and Road Block(WTF?) bear parallels with the archetypal characters of the early Bond films (the villainous mastermind, the Russian femme-fatale, the tetchy weapons designer(WTF?)) - the Aston Martin with a hidden missile launcher was a Bond hallmark in the late 1990s; - the locations featured (Egypt, an underwater complex) are similar to The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), as is the use of surface-to-air missiles; - the Baroness unzips her leather suit to reveal an evening dress underneath, like James Bond in Goldfinger (1964) - the underwater battle is a tribute to Thunderball (1965); - the use of a bomb in a strategic location was Goldfinger (1964)'s idea; - and Ripcord's fall in the trailer was styled on the iconic freefall from Moonraker (1979).

G.I. Joe isn't supposed to be fucking James Bond. What a jerk off.

That part in the trailer where Rip Cord falls on his ass is to jar jar. It really sucks. This movie will blow. (hater).

And they rebooted the James Bond franchise because it became crap. The best Bond films were the ones with fewest gadgets
Yeah, and I hate Sommers too. |

Is there any doubt now that the direction of this film is a complete disaster?
Yeah, I know, wait to see it before you judge it, but for goodness sakes, how much more info do you need to confirm this film is not going to be good? |
