Title: GI Joe: Invasion of Cobra Island Canuck connection
Post by: Vallen on July 15, 2010, 10:48:23 AM

Hey Canucks, we thought we would drop you guys a note about the mini movies we made for Paramount and Hasbro to promote the GI Joe: Rise of Cobra movie.  With the upcoming Joe con we thought it would be great to give those that may have missed these, a chance at viewing the videos on our official youtube channel.

Part 1

Part 2

We would also like to share with you some production pics and other stuff from our production blog.  There are some great pics and some background info on the production.  We shot this thing in Toronto, Ontario so there is a great connection to the site.  We also want to give a shout out to Cobrastickers for all of their help!

It's good, but what's up with the different versions of Cobra Commander? He has a mask on, then he has a helmet on, the it's back to the mask but this time with a cape, then back to the helmet. Was this done as an inside joke? Maybe try to use every version of Cobra Commander that was made?

Hey guys thanks for the kind words...this sequence was the result of an early draft idea where the commander, who is not only a major potty mouth, is obsessed with fashion.  The punchline to this comes in part two where he says to Destro while watching the hovercraft landing "Either someone has called the Fashion Police, or the F$%$ing Joes have found us"  Alas, the commander's potty mouth and the punchline got cut.

Also using the different commander figures was a friendly dig at how many Hasbro produced.
