Only Roger Corman ever kept a shorter production schedule than Cannon.

The voice of Zartan says...
He explained who Zartan was and he showed me this picture. It looked like a member of Kiss, but much better built. He told me he had a gang. That gang thing rippled in my head. I went home and read A Clockwork Orange, a couple of chapters of it. Just to get the vibe of Alex. He was a mix between Alex from A Clockwork Orange and James Bond. 'G.I. Joe' TV Show Oral History | Hollywood Reporter I forgot that I had heard Zack Hoffman say previously that Clockwork Orange inspired his performance for Zartan. |

It's possible the idea to give Zarana a Cockney accent came from Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, which was a famous example of a character with a Cockney accent known in American culture, and one where the accent was used to symbolize a low-class individual.
Here is more info on the inspiration for Snake-Eyes: Fury Force | Joepedia | Fandom powered by Wikia In an interview at QKTheatre.com, Hama said: There were a lot of holdovers from the ‘Fury Force’ concept that I had been developing for Marvel at the time. The whole idea of a secret base under a motor pool, for instance. I even had a “Snake-Eyes” type character, who didn’t speak, had his face covered with a cowl and was a mysterious assassin type. He carried a pump shotgun and a commando knife in his boot and was actually inspired by the Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah (Wolf Who Stands in Water) character in the old ‘Yancy Derringer’ TV show. The Snake-Eyes-like character was called Spook and is pictured at back right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yancy_Derringer Yancy's sidekick, Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah, is a silent Pawnee American Indian who communicates only by hand gestures. Pa-hoo-Ka-Ta-Wah is Pawnee for "wolf who stands in water" (as mentioned in the first episode). Although Pahoo is short on talk, he is long on action. Beneath a blanket wrapped about his body, he carries a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun loaded with split buckshot, which he wields in emergencies. Most of the time, however, he uses a throwing knife sheathed on his back. |
