In my opinion this was better than any live action G.I. Joe movies

Still probably the most epic 3 minute movie opening I've ever seen.

I'm 47. That intro still gets my blood pumping lol.

*The opening theme was and STILL is...ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!!!*

This and Transformers: The Movie didn't get the respect that they deserved when they came out in 86 and 87. Love them both equally.

Whoever DOES NOT save this on their playlist, I feel very sorry for you!! Pure classic!!!

"Man, whoever heard of being shot down by salad?" That line still slays me, lol.

This intro is still on fire!

Dude you’re a freaking legend for uploading this classic.

What can I say, after 36 years this gi Joe movie and cartoon series is still dope

I was six years old when this came out. Between this, thunder cats, transformers and he-man. Those were the good old days.

This movie will never die with great Yotubians like yourself.

For those who don't know, Duke was actually supposed to die. When Scarlet says he's in a coma, she was supposed to say he's gone. Due to the backlash from killing Optimus Prime, they decide to change the story and have him survive.

I’m 50 and I have all these cartoons on DVD/Boxsets. Can’t wait to retire so I can revert back to being 12 and watch them all again until I die.

I think we should all give praise to Major Bludd for getting shot out of the sky by Duke and surviving the fall from the top of the Statue of Liberty....pretty impressive!

This story has a good moral. Even though the enemy wins many battles, the good guys can still win the war.

"An itty bitty ditty bag." 😂🤣 Definitely ranks up there as one of the best fictional drill sergeants.

1:01:39 "It's time you learned we're a team!! We all go home or nobody goes home!!" YO JOE!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽

Fun fact: This movie was supposed to be released in theaters before Transformers the movie was released and had they stuck with that plan, Duke definitely would have died. It was only because they switched the release order, and saw the reaction to TFTM that they decided to not only air GI JOE the movie as a miniseries instead of giving it a theatrical release, but to also put Duke in a coma instead of killing him off. … what’s wrong with this movie’s script, however, is that Cobra La assumes it only has to do away with the humans, but that one episode from Transformers Season 3 where Cobra Commander shows up proves the two shows take place in the same universe, so Cobra La has to deal with GI Joe, the Autobots and the Decepticons - and you know Megatron ain’t gonna share Earth with snake people

Still beats today's stupid "action" movies! 😀

The addition of both Don Johnson, Burgess Meredith and Sgt Slaughter was epic, genius casting!!!

Animation is top notch. I greatly remember this as a kid. Magnificent. Tied up loose ends even so with a somewhat story line arc. Cobra-La was totally unknown up to this point. It came on regular T.V as single episodes in the late 80’s. This cartoon stands the rest of time.

I liked Cobra Commander. He was Once a man.

Good grief! This is a 1987 cartoon and it's literally better story like and voice acting than most of the garbage today. Cartoon or movie.

My God that is the greatest most patriotic intro for any movie or for of American entertainment EVER. Man I missed it soo much.👍🏻💯

Opening song always gave me the goosebumps

The only person that I feel bad for in this film is poor Cobra Commander. After all of these years of doing what he can do defeat the Joes, his own camp sold him out. Stuck in the middle with no way to turn. Damn! He got it the worst!

Even to this day, the opening sequence with Pythona infiltrating Cobra brings chills to my skin. When I was a kid, i remember being in aw of this beautiful assassin doing what GI Joe hadn't been able to do ever with all their troops and vehicles. I wanted a figure of her so bad, and to this day, it is a crying shame they never released a full retail version of her.

I remember me and my sister use to fight over the TV because I wanted to watch G I Joe 😂

I remember seeing that movie on ABC on a Saturday afternoon. The movie just so mesmerizing. The theme song was 🔥🔥🔥

You are the MAN!!!! I'm 44 and I still love this fucking movie!!!!

As an English kid watching this in 1991 aged nine I was blown away by so many epic moments it almost turned me into an American - the intro, the opening stealth scene, the hugely epic fights, amazing music and quotes - but the one line that has stuck with me for over 25 years is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m81jfdKBlceaqZs.html - "This is for Gung-ho, Alpine and Bazooka - this is for Falcon - this is for ME - this is FOR DUKE - and THIS. IS FOR. THE U-S-OF-A!....you make me sick." absolutely beyond awesome line. Well done that man. Also to this very day I still quote Big Lob - 'And big lob makes his move! he takes a hit! BUT KEEPS ON COMING!'

I miss this old school animation style

Man that intro still hits hard! Watching this again at age 44 still gives me the feels like I had when I was 9 yrs old. This, Transformers the movie and Bravestarr the movie still gives me the feels. The first 5 episodes of the 80s TMNT still hits hard!.

Great back story of Cobra. The movies with the Rock stunk! Who doesn't feel sad for Cobra Commander being turned to a snake ?

The best GI Joe movie period.

Mate, this is legitametly my most beloved childhood film. I never comment but thank you for this. Loving it so, so much right now. You're a legend.

10:00 Everyone: "Cobra Commander is an utterly incompetent leader!" Also everyone: following his lead while chasing the "assasin"

The battle between Sgt Slaughter, Nemesis Enforcer, Jinx, and the evil lady with Hawk and Goloblus was EPIC

35 years later, I’m remembering the dialogue just before they say it... “An itty bitty ditty bag...” And you gotta admit, for a world created for a one off movie, Cobra-La is pretty cool! I genuinely teared up at “we all go home or nobody goes home”

I remember seeing this Animated Movie back in the day circa 1991. I was 8 years old this G.I.Joe Animated Movie has Stuck with me in my Memory to this very day, It's been part of my Life!!!! G.I.Joe Forever, I LOVE G.I.Joe For Life!!!!

Good ol days!!!!! Use to run home after school to watch episodes!!!!!! Yo Joe and Hooah!!!!!👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺😎🎸🎸

“Big deal, I’ve been kicked out of kindergartens with tougher playgrounds than this”

I have this on DVD still one of the best movies of today 😊

Never thought I'd pity a megalomaniacal terrorist leader but Cobra Commander got the shaft if you think about it: His army refusing to vouch for him, made the scapegoat for Serpentor's blunders when the great emperor assumed high command, convicted in a Cobra-La court by his own people, and devolving into a snake after a second exposure to the spores. Even his origin story is pretty tragic: Scientist disfigured after getting sprayed by spore fumes then given the unenviable task of world conquest, something he had difficulty achieving.

A classic from the 80's childhood! Saw it many times as a kid, as again now..... and still pissed - no Storm Shadow?!!!

Man the memories this unlocked for me and I’m 42. All I need now is a bowel of Frosted Flakes

I just started making my son watch this at bed time he’s 5 and he asks for it every nite now! He remembers it from one time seeing it when he was 4! I’m so happy he loves the stuff from my generation!

Still holds up after all these years

Beachhead and Sgt. Slaughter is probably the best character in this. The scenes with Beachhead training the rawhides are a hoot. I love how he says to Law and order, "I hope you both get fleas". lol

Greatest cartoon movie ever IMO...and that song filled you with pride like America should be like. Best toys ever too!✝️🙏💯

THIS OPENING SEQUENCE RIGHT HERE IS JUST FUCKING BAD ASS! AMERICA … LOVE IT! 🫡🇺🇸

This movie has so much redeeming value on awesome character development! What a childhood classic!

I remember how excited I was when this movie came out, thinking it would usher in a whole new (3rd) season in the afternoons. I also remember being extremely disappointed when I turned on the tube that Fall and realized there was no 3rd season. Either way, I'm glad they made this movie. This will always be the best Joe movie in my humble opinion.

I prefer this than the live ones anyday

I remember this going straight to tv after the backlash from the transformers movie. Was watching wpix 11 ny on a sunday and this was coming on. Was already a die hard Joe fan and was pleasantly surprised

Serpentor's battle cry of "Cobra-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!" at 1:07 is still fire to this day!

Refreshing Nostalgia.. .this is so unbelievably good, a forgotten gem for me.

Number of fatalities in that Statue of Liberty intro = ZERO 😂

Man i just went and seen this at the theater recently felt like a kid all over again!! Still love this movie!!

Even without watching the cartoon yet, this movie is fun. It's interesting to see Cobra Commander as a good guy

R.I.P To all the actors and or actresses who did an excellent job in their prime 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

Imagine playing this theme at major events as if it was the anthem or on military day 😂😂

Burgess Meredith, Sgt Slaughter, AND Cobra Commanders backstory. As a 10 year old, I lacked the maturity to appreciate the magnitude of it as a science fiction piece but it was a pretty heavy film. I'd put it right up there with Heavy Metal.

When Cartoons were great. Saturday mornings!

Intro so emotional... especially when the singer sings... who is here to save the day... tears😂😂😂😂 Drawing angles and colors beyond excellence

GI Joe had such cool unique vehicles, and each character was unique as well. So cool. But the best is the biker gang attacking in the snow. lol

One of the most Most. Epic. Themes. Ever. Baroness and Jinx were always my toon crushes BTW. TY for uploading this! April O'Neil is an obvious as well. That's it for me on the old school toon crushes.

I loved the ice struggle over Black Entertainment Television...Black TV was gonna solve the Earth's energy crisis.

this is our truly July 4th ANTHEM!

I loved this one, wow. You just can't beat the 80s for cartoons and fantasy shows.

Honestly, if this movie ended right after the opening sequence, I don't think anyone would've complained. XD

I remember buying this movie on vhs back in the 80s - I’ve shed many tears over Duke’s death - this movie had guts and was glorious… they’d never make a movie like this for kids now

"At ease, disease!" Line of the show. :D

GI JOE: THE MOVIE (animated in Japan) REAL AMERICAN HERO!!!

Even 40 years later they are 100 years ahead of us in technology.

Finally!!!! To see this in HD is AMAZING!!!!!

MAN!!! I ♥️ ME SOME GI-JOE. I'M 46YRS OLD... IT'S KILLS ME EVERY TIME C.C. WANTS A START A WAR. WITH GI-JOE. & WHEN THEY GETTING THEIR TAILS BEAT. HE'S THE 1ST TO MAKE TRACKS.😂😂😂

I am a Transformer G1 fans first, but much respect to this GI Joe the Movie intro. The live Action movie franchise is no way close to the original GI Joe.

The REAL G.I Joe movie!!

They made 2 audio changes to keep Duke alive. Duke actually died in the original cut, and they had already animated it, but when so many people were upset about Optimus Prime dying in the Transformers movie, they made 2 simple audio changes to keep Duke alive. When he dies, they changed the line to "He's gone into a coma" instead of "He's gone". Then later you just hear a radio message after the final battle say "Great news, Duke's come out of his coma." They never show anyone say that line since it wasn't in the script nor animated. Just a simple audio line added after production. Then you see the Joes celebrate the win, but instead made it look like they were celebrating Duke living. Notice they never actually showed Duke again.

Fun Fact : Cobra Commander and Starscream are played by the same voice actor.

MY CHILDHOOD right there

If that opening didn't win something it should have. 👍

My local Regal played this gem a few months ago. As cheesy as this movie can be, it was beyond amazing seeing it on the big screen

I watched both Transformers and GI Joe movie today, and I thought both of them were good. Transformers was all out mayham while GI Joe had a story and alot of action.

The fact that the roughnecks went back for falcon to show that they were a team, awesome!

Original awesome movie One of the best anime intro theme song. The X-Men series theme song is in The same category Of pure throw back 👌 Awesomeness

Have this piece on VHS...classic.

The opening to this movie is so epic!

I have this on DVD and my dad served in the military so of course he's the reason I watched it religiously. He passed away in 2018 and I'm happy and sad watching this again after his death. Thank you for the upload and aloha from Hawaii 🌺

The opening can't be beat

Yknow, props to the Cobra guys at the Beginning, they were actually competent enough to get a few hits at that cobra la lady

"Walking tall with banners high, they sound the battle cry: YO JOE!! YO JOE!!!!" Goddamn 37 years later and that part still gets me hyped the hell up!!!

Thank you so much for uploading the entire movie in HD! 🙏🏻I wish you the best and take care!👍🏻😎

The best Gi Joe movie… still!!!!

Man, the quality of this is so much better than the VHS I stole from the video store when i was a kid 😂

"This is for Gung-ho, Alpine and Bazooka! Rrraaagh! This is for Falcon! Raaaagh! This is for me! Rrraaagh! This is for Duke! RRRRAAGH! AND THIS IS FOR THE U S OF A! RRRRAAAAAAAGH! You make me sick!" So much America in that one scene alone.

My favorite movie scene ever, Baroness running out of the civilian lab, taking off her helmet, and whipping around her raven black hair laughing her laugh. Ahhh! And the way she leaps over the chain link security fence. My childhood crush on The Baroness still burns like a bursting white phosphorus bomb!!!

This is still the best animated movie to date hands down!💪🏾
