7. BlackHawk down

9. Hamburger Hill
10. Predator(I know this is sort of sci-fi but almost every character got a little GI Joe love somehow)

We Were Soldiers is probably more military accurate than Predator so I may have to switch if anyone is really keeping track.

Yeah, about Predator. Great film, and I have no problem with it - but what's the deal? Why are there so many Joe connections to that movie? It came out in the 80's. Was the writer a fan of the toy? at that time?! It's just about the closest thing we've had to a Joe movie... and after next summer, it may still retain that title.

lol That's very true you guys both make a good point and I can remember using Joes to hunt for a predator that was in the grass and bushes. Even though growing up we didn't have a predator figure to go along with this we could use the idea that he was cloaked

Man, I was hoping you or Tanksmasher would know the answer to this question because y'all use pics from the movie. Seriously, it's like Dutch = Duke
I cant recall the American Indian's name ("Billy" ?), but he's like Spirit
Jesse Ventura = Gung-Ho w/ Roadblock's gun
Mustache government guy = Stalker
etc.

It was just too close not to notice. What was deal? Is there a legitimate connection to G.I. Joe?

[Tall Creeper]

Alright now Dutch was way cooler then Duke and certainly a lot tougher as well

Billy is the name of the Native American
Poncho(with grenade launcher) = Flint
Blaine was certainly Gung ho or muscled up Recondo

Dutch is cooler than Duke, plus Dutch was a Major.

But, Poncho is not cool enough to be Flint

lol I thought you might say that

Mustache government guy? How can you not remember Carl Weathers? What's up TAll

[Tall Creeper]

Oh I knew who he was talking about, I just slipped up saying anything about him!

[Loose Cannon]

I remember the first guy that gets killed Reminded me of Recoil. Plus the mini gun was never a weapon for Rock'n'roll if Jesse didn't use it first. Not to mention he liked Rock'n'Roll music. The M203 just like Leatherneck. Billy like Spirit, although probably more like Dart now. But I always pretended Spirit was Special Forces after that. Hardball had a multiple Grenade Launcher, Muskrat was Jungle Geared with Shotgun. Who had the M16 with the shotgun underneath? Billy? Which Joe has that combo? Repeater, and Shockwave seemed to fit at the time as well. The both had the caps on like half these guys did. And of course Hit and Run with all the Face Paint. The MP5s never made it to the Joes for another few years, but It seemed like it should have. This is the Reason a Jungle Themed Exclusive pack would work.

1. Aliens
2. Predator
3. Taxi Driver
4. Deer Hunter
5. Full Metal Jacket
6. Rambo
7. Rambo 4
8. Saving Private Ryan

These movies all have main characters that were in the military at some time.
