Sure. Just like Endgame gets to be re-released, ROC and Ret. should be re-released as well.
Just for clarification. The true answer is: NO

The fan Sunbow scored ROC is pretty great. If about 5 minutes were cut here and there it would be awesome. Unfortunately there is only a medium resolution copy of it now. But still worth a watch. The Extedned Ret cut is not bad, if it was Sunbow scored it would be awesome!

I think he’s talking about ROC & Retaliation - not the 87 Sunbow Movie.

I've said this before...I didn't hate ROC or RET.
That always requires some explaining. Was it MY G.I. Joe? No. It was designed to slightly evoke feelings from the 80's cartoon, comic and toyline and yet appeal to and draw in (hopefully) all new (and world wide) audience. So going in I knew the films were not gonna be *MY* G.I. Joe. So as action films I didn't hate them. I can say the say for the Transformer films (except Last Knight that was just God awful) and the Jem and The Holograms movie. All of those films were not necessarily BAD films...they were however HORRIBLE representations of the source material. They were the characters we knew and loved in name only. Had you taken all the Joe elements out of ROC and RET and you probably easily could have...you would have been left with two decent stories about a crack response team trying to stop terrorists. But back to the original question. No. Both films were critical, financial and commercial failures. Re-Releases are done usually for public demand / interest. That can vary from films that are beloved and watched again and again, like Ghostbusters or Back to the Future. Or...sometimes a film that was a commercial failure finds new life in video and becomes a 'Cult Classic' and demands a re-release like A Christmas Story. ROC and RET have neither of those status. IN FACT the only way I could see either getting a fresh breath of life would be via Mystery Science Theater 3000 where truly bad films go to get riffed on for how bad they are. |

Only if things are done correctly this time. As in the costumes(like have the COBRA Trooper in blue uniforms and GI Joes in their comic book/cartoon uniforms instead of black ops like X-Men), better character development, and other improvements.
