Title: Fantasy GI JOE movie, who would you use from actors dead or alive?
Post by: bandonov on March 25, 2010, 12:10:29 PM

I love the tread: “GIJoe The Rise Of Cobra sequel tidbits”.  But I thought we could expand this to a new thread that uses the great actors from the past.  Whether they are dead or alive, who would use to play the roles of our favorite  characters? 
This is my list to start:
GI Joe
General Hawk:  John Wayne
Duke: Charlton Heston
Flint: Charles Bronson
Snake Eyes:  Chuck Norris
Scarlett: Julianne Moore
Lady Jaye: Jennifer Garner 
Cobra
Cobra Commander:  John Malkovich
Destro:  Sean Connery
Baroness:  Catherine Zeta Jones
Zartan: Yul Brynner
Major Bludd: Lee Van Cleef
Storm Shadow:  Bruce Lee
Please remember these actors in their prime not how they are now.

Just a name that popped in my head after reading this. How about Michael Duncan Clark for Roadblock.

I posted the same thing in “GIJoe The Rise Of Cobra sequel tidbits” but someone said he was too old for the part in the sequel.

I don't think he is too old. He is better than anyone else they cast in the first movie. I wish the first movie was better. I think anyone on this message board could have done a better job.

You might remember him as that human mountain from the Elektra movie, provided you were brave enough to watch said movie.

i think Ving Rhymes would make a good Roadblock, and for cobra commander i'd pick Willem Defoe, and i like the idea of Samuel L. Jackson as Stalker.

How about Jeffrey Dean Morgan for the role of Gung Ho?  he did great in the Watchmen as The Comedian.

I think John Wayne and Charlton Heston, while being classic 'good guy actors' really don't fit either part...at all.
Garner, Malkovich and Connery were good picks though. I like the Gung-ho call too. Jeffery Dean Morgan would do a good Mutt as well!

Jinx: Lucy Liu
General Flagg: Donald Sutherland
Ace: Bradley Cooper (the Hangover)
Lt. Falcon: Tom Jane
Storm Shadow: Tony Jaa
Quick-Kick: Brandon Lee
