Just watched the Alex Cross movie tonight. The movie isn't that good, but the main bad guy made me think of what Firefly could be.

If you take the fun out of GI Joe and go "Hearts and Minds" tone, then you take EOD techs
Static Line, LightFoot, Tripwire and Tunnel Rat you get "The Hurt Locker". Another overlooked one: Executive Decision Last edited by Wylde Weezle; 04-21-2013 at 11:08 AM.. |

Here's some movies I always thought were close to GI Joe. These could be considered rare and obscure outside of the esoteric but they are worth checking out if you can find them: The Soldier aka Codename: The Soldier (1982) C.A.T. Squad: Stalking Danger (1986) C.A.T. Squad: Python Wolf (1988)

The Soldier is a very underrated film. I enjoy it even today.

If Hasbro would have made a movie for the 12" figures when they first came out, I bet it would have looked like a 2 hour mash up of episodes of Rat Patrol, Combat!, and Mission Impossible. It might have even had some of the same actors in it. I had to give those shows some love because I used to watch them in reruns, and play with my joes afterwards, those shows led to my stealth gone bad, firefight, and escape storyline of play.
I would also like to give a little shout out to Tour of Duty, when they had the MACV-SOG story line going at the end of their run. |

MEN OF WAR, lesser known 90's movie starring Dolph Lundgren. I think of it as the GI JOE team as mercenaries turning on each other. Lundgren is a Swedish version of Duke. It has Tiny Lister as a Roadblock type, if Roadblock were a jerk and that chick from JAG as a Lady Jaye of sorts.
The Missing In Action movies inspired a lot of playtime. Also, James Bond movies, which is sort of what the Sunbow writers were going for, actually, according to the writer Friedman. SPECTRE was an inspiration for Cobra. |

Hate to say this, but Surf Ninjas has a bit of G.I. Joe in it with the bad guy acting like a typical GI Joe villan like cartoon Cobra Commander.

Deadly Ransom (1998)
It had a lot of GI Joe vibes to it. |

True Lies. Its a slightly cartoonish, comical spy action thriller with over-the-top action. It has the exact same comical tone the G.I. Joe cartoon did despite the fact that terrorists are trying to nuke everybody. That ending scene with people jumping back and forth between buildings and the harrier jet is pure G.I. Joe-style action. I think James Cameron watched the G.I. Joe cartoon because I can see subtle influences from it in a few of his movies.
