G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987) - Death Of Duke Restored

After the backlash of the death of Optimus Prime in the Transformers Movie in 1986, a slight change was made to the then in production G.I. Joe Movie. Duke was indeed supposed to die, but this was hastily retconned with a single line of dialogue spoken off-screen.
For this simple restoration of the scene's original intent, I have removed that line of dialogue and replaced it with clean ambient sound from the scene.
Presented for educational and example purposes of how a single line of dialogue can completely change the overall tone of a scene. As you will see, this scene plays out very different with the absence of that line and now carries heavy emotional weight. Keep hankies on standby...
I of course own nothing in this video, I merely present it for educational and reference purposes to illustrate the power of editing to change the tone of a scene. All footage owned by Hasbro and Marvel/Sunbow Productions.
This video is intended for viewers who are 13 years of age or older.

They should have. They should have stuck to their guns and killed off Duke, just like they did to Optimus Prime. It would show that if these heroes are killed in action, then the stakes have been raised to the point where others will have to step up. In a lot of ways, Optimus Prime and Duke were very much alike.

A great scene, but of all the Joes they chose to kill off, why Duke?! He's my all time favorite Joe. It was the Sunbow animated version of Duke voiced by Michael Bell that I liked the best and it was Duke who got me interested in G.I.JOE in the first place. If they had killed him off as planned, my interest in G.I.JOE would have died with him. And while the gone into a coma and later recovered off screen may have been far fetched, I'm glad it happened so Duke could live on in other versions in the G.I.JOE franchise. Besides, I originally heard that Lt. Falcon was supposed have been General Hawk's son before it was decided he would be Duke's younger half brother.

The reason why Duke's death was changed or a "coma" is because the creators feared how fans would take it due to the negative reaction from fans to the death of Optimus Prime in the animated Transformers movie. But ever since 1987, Duke shares this in common with Sven (Takashi Shirogane) from the original Voltron. They're both characters who originally died, and had their deaths changed for comas. And they were both voiced by Michael Bell.
@zaranyzerak 10 ай бұрын

Sorry about that. I had to view this video again. And you're right. And yeah; the thing about Sven is that he was two different characters; Takashi and Ryo. The guy who was seen in later episodes was Ryo. But since he was an exact clone of his dead brother, this made it easy for the writers to write him off as Sven. Though sadly, Ryo dies too.

Duke was supposed to die in the movie. But the plot was changed because of the huge backlash that Sunbow and Hasbro got for killing Optimus Prime in Transformers the Movie. Hundreds were saddened and left the theatres crying after that event. It was then that Hasbro realized its fatal error and they promised that Optimus would return in Season 3 of the animated series of Transformers being aired on public TV at the time. And return he did. Duke was put into a coma but then was said to recover at the end of the movie after they had defeated Cobra and destroyed Golobulus and defeated Serpentor. And this created a whole new series for the G.I. Joe franchise including two live action movies.

Yes it would have and you know it. You only say it wouldn't because you've gained an adult's perspective and become desensitized to violence and death. Killing an alien robot traumatized kids and nearly got Hasbro crucified by the public as a result. I can't imagine what the reaction to a human character like Duke dying would have been. Universal had to consult a child psychiatrist before they pulled the trigger on killing Littlefoot's mom in the Land Before Time to avoid repeating Hasbro's screw up.

Remember in the first two seasons of G1 Transformers, nobody ever died? Then in the ‘86 movie, they took it to a higher level by killing Transformers. Including Optimus Prime, which created a huge backlash. I can see it was meant to be that way with G.I.Joe - the TV animated series was to have no deaths, and then the movie was meant to take it to a higher level by killing Duke.

Critics razed these movies to the ground and the more family friendly Care Bears slaughtered them at the box office.

Just like people miss that duke and Scarlett were coupled in the cartoon,. Snake eyes was never in the cartoon shown to be or referenced as a ninja and in fact only touches his sword in two scenes of the entire sunbow series. it was the comic that has snake eyes as a ninja Tomax and xamot are almost always referred to in the cartoon as xamot and tomax which honestly sounds better, yet outside of that they are referred to as tomax and xamot which sounds worse. Quite a few things you might not have remembered from the cartoon because of the comic.

I honestly preferred the coma version 1. Because it's preposterous to think that Serpentor could turn a snake into a spear. (Hello, ripped directly from Conan.) 2. Just my own personal belief that certain characters you don't kill. They're mythic heroes and should always be thought of as "out there somewhere". So if you want to believe that Duke lapsed into a coma from the snake spear to the heart it's easy to explain it as Serpentor had just learned the technique, didn't get it perfect, and the snake didn't get all the way through the Breast bone or stuck in the muscle tissue. It was a sereious injury, there was a lot of blood, but ultimately not fatal. I know it's preposterous, but no more unrealistic than a snake spear, and this is just my opinion.

I mean....Cobra-La was full of giant flying insect creatures and fantastically implausible Moebius-esque organic technology, but...the snake spear is what you had trouble suspending disbelief over? Okie dokie then.

Sometimes censorship is justified. Let alone when people are storming out for a character death because they love the character, not that it was disrespectful, it's a sign that there is potential. If you want everyone to die in a movie lol kill 'em all tomino has you covered with the zeta gundam anime, which the movie gave a happier ending that Kamille doesn't get lobotomized (which in zz gundam ie double zeta, he recovers).

@@UltimateDragonDetective I don't understand your comment. This video is to show what would have happened if they had gone with the original script. In the original script, Duke died. Yes, canonically he went into a coma. This video isn't disputing that, just showing how the scene might have been if it wasn't altered.

@@zaranyzerak they've already shown the death of Optimus prime, what's the point of having another hero dead. Hell I don't want Duke to die. Even though he's not part of gi Joe dic, they thought it would be better for the young viewers.

@@UltimateDragonDetective The point is in war, people die. The only reason they backpedaled on it was because of the reaction to Optimus' death. The movies push the edge more with the subject matter. Plus there were already plenty of other shows that had character deaths regularly. Star Blazers and Robotech for example. It's about realistically conveying the consequences of war, yes even to children. Nobody "wants" their favorite characters to die, but if it serves the story in a meaningful way, which this ABSOLUTELY did in that it would have given Falcon greater motivation to be a better soldier, then I say go for it. Teach that lesson, kill that character, show the consequences, don't glorify war and violence. You can have exciting, fun action interspersed with heart-wrenching, meaningful character moments. Look how often characters die in anime, and a lot of that is geared toward younger audiences. It's a story, and what "should" happen is whatever makes for a good story. No need to candy coat the real consequences of war just because it's for "kids." You can tone is down, as this movie did, and still show the end result.

As much as I loved Duke, I do not like the rettcon it takes the teeth from the scene and makes it virtually meaningless. Sure it wounded me having both Duke and Optimus Prime die on the same day but it gave me a valuable lesson that true heros are willing to risk even death to protect those they swore too. Duke stayed the course and honored his pledge till his last breath, he stood up against a genocidal tyrant and did not make it home but many others did because of his selfless valor.
