Using nanotechnology that he created James McCullen, played by Christopher Eccleston, creates a weapon to sell to NATO. Although, his ultimate goal for these weapons is take over the world. While trying to deliver these weapons Duke, played by Channing Tatum, and Ripcord, played by Marlon Wayans, are ambushed by the Baroness, played by Sienna Miller. Duke who recognizes her as his ex- fiancée Ana Lewis is stunned. Shortly after the Baroness makes a quick end to most of the soldiers they are rescued by the “G. I. Joes. Shortly after arriving at the G.I. Joe command center General Hawk, played by Dennis Quaid, takes over. General Hawk tells the soldiers to head home, that this is way beyond their training; Duke and Ripcord try to convince the General to keep and train them. Against his better judgment he does just that.
Duke and Ripcord soon learn that the training is not only very strenuous but very demanding. Soon ready to fight with the rest of the G.I. Joes they head out to destroy the leader of the ambush.
Without wanting to give too much of the movie away I will leave my description brief. If you haven’t seen this movie and you like lots of action and special affects you will not be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I highly recommend it. Here are some of the mistakes I found.
Through most of the movie Heavy Duty has an earring in his left ear but in the underwater fight scene it is in his right ear.
When Ana comes home to see her husband the Baron de Cobray, played by, Gregory Fitoussi, they have a conversation outside the house. As she is walking into the front door he asks her how it was in Monte Carlo. He appears to be about six to seven feet behind her. The next scene he is directly behind her and they are both in the house. It seems a little too fast for him to be moving.
If you play close attention to Duke’s scar it appears quite large in the beginning of the movie but by the end it is very small. Not enough time has elapsed for this to occur.
In Paris they have a chase scene using a Hummer. The Hummer gets hit by a train on the right side hitting the front right bumper. When the Hummer finally lands you can see that it is the left bumper that has the damage. And the right bumper has little damage.
These are a few of the mistakes I noticed when I went to see G. I. Joe, if you have any you would like to share please go to the Movie Mistakes Forum. I would love to hear more.
