Our favorite American hero has returned in this rerelease of the now
cult-classic G.I. Joe movie from 1987. Once again G.I. Joe must protect
the world from total obliteration. Cobra, the deadliest of foes and
leader of an underground race of snake people, is proving to be a great
threat to humankind. After spending many generations underground, he
plans to take over the world again (with the help of his evil foes
Pythona and Serpentor) by releasing deadly spores into the atmosphere.
These spores can transform all life into the weakest of creatures, which
means humans could potentially devolve into amoebas. However, in order
to accomplish this, Cobra must acquire the Broadcast Energy Transmitter.
(The BET activates the spores.) Luckily G.I. Joe is there to stop Cobra
and his evil army. There are terrific fight scenes in which nobody gets
hurt (like in all great A-Team episodes) and the cartoon style is
true to the G.I. Joe character. All your favorite G.I. Joe characters
are here, including Falcon, Bazooka, Alpine, Duke, Snowjob, and
Roadblock. Starring voices also help lend a hand: Don Johnson, Burgess
Meredith, and Sergeant Slaughter. Forever and always G.I. Joe will be
"fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble, over land and sea and
air!" --Samantha Allen Storey
