    • Trivia
      Ray Park was nervous about wearing the ninja suit and asked to practice with it at home so that he could be comfortable with it. He found the suit (composed solely of rubber with a metal visor) like wearing a rubber band, and had to put effort into moving in it.
    • Goofs
      The President's "American" accent slips back to Jonathan Pryce's native English accent several times.
    • Quotes

      Heavy Duty: [about handling the accelerator suits] Careful. They're worth millions of dollars each.

      Ripcord: [in a suit] Millions of dollars. Got it.

      [falls out of the van]

      Heavy Duty: [annoyed] Jesus.

      Ripcord: My bad. My bad. Won't happen again!

      [Ripcord gets run over by a car]

    • Crazy credits
      Part of the closing credits appear on a giant metal G.I. Joe logo. Visible on this logo are other military logos, including old G.I. Joe stickers, the US flying stars, and the G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 (2005) Sigma 6 designation.

    Fun movie - not even close to realistic, but fun.

    Let me first say that I knew absolutely nothing about the GI Joe franchise except that they were (are?) toys. But that did not hinder me from enjoying this movie.

    What do you get if you mix a few parts James Bond, a few parts Transformers and a few parts Star Wars? Well, you get G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra! Basically, if you like the aforementioned movies you will probably enjoy this one. Things explode constantly, shiny things glimmer past the screen and hot chicks in tight outfits show up now and then.

    If you are the type who crave realism in your movies then do not - I repeat, do not see this one. Realism does not even come within shooting distance of this movie. But if you can enjoy a popcorn summer movie then this is not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

    And yes - there is a Wayans brother in this, but strangely enough, he did not annoy me...
