G.I. Joe:Rise of Cobra movie ?

[pantybulge69]

was gi joe the american version of the uk action man? kung fu grip etceterea? they seem very similar, minus the different variants.

GI Joe came out first and Palitoy got permission from Hasbro in 1966 to start making it in the UK as Action Man. So yes Action man is the UK version of The American action figure GI Joe

Interesting.
Action man: the UK's version of GI Joe.

I can't believe they took away "real american hero " to please some random towel head who wants to kill us, this movie isn't g.i joe if it isn't going to empathize fighting for america and being an american hero.

LOL. All this anger over a fictional plastic doll.

Probably a childhood fantasy is crushed. It is dumb that the director/writer(s) is trying to appeal to the international market by removing the overt American patriotism from it. It is a cop-out.

Explain what's dumb about wanting to sell the movie to international audiences.

Fact is, G.I. Joes from other countries were first produced over 40 years ago.

"In 1966, soldiers from other countries (France, Germany, Japan, Australia, USSR and the UK) joined the G.I. Joe line up. A Green Beret figure from Vietnam was also issued in the same year."

So it's a fact, G.I Joe is part of an international fighting force for freedom.

Legend and others will be happy to know that our Real American Hero has worked closely with G.I. Joes from other countries... Oh what am I saying, these are dolls we're talking about.

Anyone of you upset the Superman quote "The never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way," was done away with?

What we have here is a conspiracy against the U.S. and our cartoon/toy/fictional heroes.
