YET ANOTHER LATINO REVIEW EXCLUSIVE! I have just learned through my sources that BRENDAN FRASER has booked the role of GUNG HO for Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action adaptation of "G.I. Joe." Now, it is only a one scene cameo. The scene is question is a training sequence at THE PIT. Brendan already shot his part. Me personally, I always thought GUNG HO was the most gay looking of the Joes. I mean come on, the tattooed chest, the vest with no shirt on and that hat?! If there was a soldier in the VILLAGE PEOPLE, GUNG HO would definitely be it! Quote:
I also learned that AN OFFER has been made to THE ROCK for the role of HECTOR DELGADO aka SHIPWRECK. At this time THE ROCK hasn’t said either yes or no, but the offer is out to him. Can THE ROCK smell what Shipwreck is cooking? We should find out soon enough. I knew it was only a matter of time before they would start offering Latino roles to THE ROCK who is Samoan.

hmm...
I didnt see this coming at all. I know he had a hispanic name but... he never looked hispanic on his card art, the comics, the cartoon, the toys.... Personally I think the Rock is too buff for shipwreck.. I would almost rather see some unknown that looks like shipwreck. oh and before everyone jumps on me for "Hating" I am just stating my opinion as a long time shipwreck fan. The guy destined to play Gung Ho back in his prime would have been the German soldier in Indiana Jones that got cut to pieces by the airplane while him and Indy are fighting.

Gung-Ho was always my favorite character no matter what the toys looked like. If Brendan can pull off a Cajun accent that'll be good for a laugh. I think if the Rock played Gung-Ho that would be better. I never pictured Shipwreck as the biggest guy on the team. If he was Torpedo then that would work. since he's part pacific Islander anyway and if Torpedo was that big most people would accept it. But I imagine the Rock smells what Shipwreck is cooking, fried powdered eggs in the tooth of a gail wind and maybe he doesn't like it.

if they were going to use a wrestler in this movie I would say use Stone Cold Steve Austin as Gung Ho. But that's just me.

I am mixed on this because I think The Rock is funny. BUT for the role of Shipwreck....it seems a little off. BUT I think we shouldn't worry, this movie is going to be ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE. TOO many actors, TOO much stuff, TOO MUCH.

I say use a bunch of wrestles. They're all actors anyway. I always envisioned the Joes to be larger than life or at least 6 ft 6 to 7ft tall full of muscles. Most Wrestlers fit that description so do some football players. Maj Barrage, Sgt. Slaughter, Checkpoint all wrestlers. Capt. Grid Iron, Fridge, Red Dog, Bazooka are all Football Players. They don't even need any lines.

I really like these two casting choices...I love Brendan Fraser! I suppose it was inevitable he'd be in another Stephen Summers movie, even a bit part... ...and The Rock, I'm not much of a wrestling fan, but come on he kicks ass! He is an awesome casting choice for Shipwreck! I can only assume they are setting up these two maybe for the sequels?

I think I would reverse the roles on the 2 actors. Brendan seems more like shipwreck to me with his humor and comedic skills and the rock as gung-ho with his size and built.
