Ok for those who havent heard the commentary on the gi joe the movie dvd I thought I would put the spoiler alert up.
Im not sure if its well known, and I sure didnt know, that the renegades were based on real people. Mercer = Dolph Lungren Red Dog = Wrestler Superfly Taurus = Wrestler Iron Sheik I had no idea but it does explain the blonde hair on the card art for Mercer. It would have been cool if they used the real people. |

Yeah definatly Kurt Russel, They should have just lied and said that. Of course its weird that two of them are based on wrestlers and the thrid on an actor. Especially since Red Dog shows NOTHING about him that is like Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and Tarus shows NOTHING like the Iron Sheik.

I can see it. They said they were "based" of them. They changed them enough so it wasn't obvious.
What REALLY would have made it cool, would have been for Mercer to grab Falcon and say, "I must break you." That would have been classic.

Tarus, OTOH, was bald, with a 'stache and came IIRC with a Middle Eastern looking sword. Don't get me wrong, it's not like they are based a la Sgt. Slaughter - which was him exactly - but I can see it. |
