G.I. Joe: The Movie (also known as Action Force: The Movie in the UK) is a 1987 American direct-to-video animated military science fiction film based on the original Hasbro toyline.
Serpentor, the almost death of Duke, Cobra La, Cobra Commanders different origin, the next generation of GI Joe, all included, all intended to be seen on the big screen.
While GI Joe: The Movie was originally intended for a theatrical release the failure of the My Little Pony and Transformers movies changed that plan and what happened with the GI Joe franchise immediately after altered a lot of what the future held.

Fun Fact: After the series was cancelled, Cobra changed their tactics away from warfare, and started offering health insurance.

The slow body horror death of cobra Commander was way more disturbing to me as a kid then duke taking a snake to the heart

The saddest thing about the GI Joe movie is that the opening is INCREDIBLE and better than the entire rest of the movie. It never gets as good as the opening again.

I’m 43 years old; that opening sequence and theme music STILL give me chills.

I was suspended from elementary school for a week for bringing my VHS of GiJoe: The Movie to 'movie day' in my class when it was my turn. We made it up to where Duke got stabbed in the chest by the snake spear and my teacher finally threw an absolute fit and got the principal to suspend me for bringing violent materials to school. So for an entire week I just got to stay home and play with my GiJoe toys lol.

The Statue of Liberty intro sequence may be the greatest piece of toy-associated action animation made in the '80s. In 1986/1987 - for those who remember - the one-two punch of

It always amazed me that in a show where the screen is filled with red and blue lasers, nobody ever got shot. Basically both sides were Stormtroopers.

No one ever talks about the post-movie mini-series where Baroness and Copperhead rounds up a small band of Cobra soldiers still loyal to Cobra Commander to form Python Patrol, take CC to an ancient temple to reconstitute him back into a man, and lure in Serpentor to do away with him once and for all.

The opening sequence of Cobra taking the Statue of Liberty while the Joes stop them was epic. The song was great as well. The movie was great, although Duke going into a coma was a bit lame.

As a 43 year old, I was perfect age for this movie and I loved it. The Serpentor storyline as well as Cobra La.

I’ll never forget the moment I realized that the GI Joe figure that my neighbor had (Rock N’ Roll with his badass motorcycle) was sooo far superior to my coveted Star Wars figures. While I had the movies to back up my Star Wars fandom and imaginary adventures, I didn’t need a backstory for these highly articulated soldiers. The “playability” of the Joe’s was just so awesome and was the natural step up in “maturity” from Star Wars and its toys.

A few years ago, the Egyptian theater in Hollywood showed both Gi Joe and Transformers The Movie one night. It was amazing finally seeing it on the big screen with a crowd.

GI Joe was never my thing, but there is one thing from the show that is burned into my memory forever: there was an episode in which Shipwreck wakes up and is being tricked by Cobra to think he was in a coma. The people around him are like robots or something, and at some point his loved ones fucking melt before his eyes in the most disturbing horrific fashion!

The history of the movie might be sad, but the intro sequence is an absolute banger and the most 'merican piece of animation ever.

God I loved and still love the animated GI Joe movie. 500 times better than the live action Michael bay movies.

When I was an 80's teenager, I thought the secret society of Cobra-La lizard people was unrealistic. As an adult, I know the horrifying truth.

The two lines from this film I will alway remember are “I was onccceee a man” and “nothing like a little on the job training!”

The opening of the movie is my favorite G.I.Joe thing ever. It still makes me smile to this day.

Burgess Meredith just owned that role. His voice was pure malice-you knew he was bad and NOT a guy to mess with, unlike the Commander and Serpentor. They were pretty goofy in their own charming ways.

While Duke was announced by Doc as being out of his coma at the end of the animated film, his recovery was reinforced in the original Tiger Force TV ad. This Marvel-animated ad featured Dusty exclaiming “Duke is back,” as Duke took command of the team from a GI Joe Dragonfly (converted into the Tiger Fly). So yes, Duke returned one final time in Marvel animation before making multiple appearances in DIC animated form. His team-up with Cobra to fight drug dealers and rescue his half-brother Falcon from them was also epic Duke awesomeness.
