They used it so that other non-fans would understand that it was Zartan master of disguise sitting in the Presidents chair. I had a guy (obviously dumb) behind me go "Ooooh!" when he started to whistle. It's basically a cheat so they didn't have to make Zartan change form for the dumb audience to see, quite easy. I doubt that it was a tribute to anything else - but I might be wrong on that one - either way it made perfect sense. |

He did crack his knuckles at the end when got behind the desk. Chances are it's a tune that Arnold Vosloo knew already. It would have made it easier for him to whistle it on cue and as naturally and nonchalantly as he did if it was already a tune he knew by heart.

Yep, no sci-fi at all. I just ordered my very own Accelerator suit and a bag of nanomites off of Amazon.com. And Snake-Eyes, jumping over a car, that itself is jumping over yet another car, ANY well trained martial artist can do that, not just Spider-Man.

Gi Joe needed to have Si-Fi to be a big part of the story. If you think about it if the story just revolved arround modern terrorist then we would be stuck watching Tears of the Sun or Black Hawk Down with the actors given joe names. Besides we cannot give any ideas to any terrorist in this day and age. The Si-fi sold the movie. It raised alot of money concidering we are in a bad economy. Bottom line Si-fi will bring in the big bucks.

I can't help but think of GI Joe as a kind of younger brother or sister to those earlier movies. Bits and pieces learned from the older brother, but without the sophistication and with a whole lot more imagination. Yes, I'm starting to think of GI Joe as artistic Sue me! And sorry to derail.

Snake Eyes still looked cool jumping around and over cars while sticking to that SUV ... I wasn't crazy about the energy weapons used in the film, but the nanomites were actually a neat concept - if a tad unnerving
