Director: Don Jurwich
Year: 1987
Everyone knows the story of the all-American heroes fighting the ruthless terrorist organization called Cobra. But not everyone knows of the full length animated film of 1987.
In the film the Cobra organization teams up with the people of the Cobra-La led by Golobulus. The people of Cobra-La are a sort of underground snake(ish) people who want to mutate mankind so they are no longer outsiders. To mutate the human race Cobra-La release deadly spores into space and have the spores rain down on the Earth mutating every man, women, and child. In order to ripen in space, however, the spores need energy and it just so happens that the Joes have been developing the Broadcast Energy Transmitter (BET, lol) which will do the job. Cobra steals the BET, the Joes fight back and have to save the planet.
It is a similar story but who cares. It is a full length GI Joe movie from the 80s and it has Sgt. Slaughter from the WWF play Sgt Slaughter! It can't get any better. And for a nice change of pace there are actual injuries in the film. As with the cartoon show, you normally only see the vehicles blow up and the drivers just make it away, but in this film there is at least one major injury and a few deaths! GI Joe stepped it up on this one! So forget the abortion GI Joe: Rise of Cobra that came out recently and check out the 1987 cartoon version in all its glory.
YO JOE!!!!
