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).
Wow. Even more of a reason to title it "Action Force." It's a dadgum James Bond knock-off!
