With thanks to Machinima, we have a brand spanking new G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer! Boo YA!
We knew it was coming, we were ready for it…but could we really be totally prepared for the awesomeness it would bestow upon us? HISS Tanks rolling upon Washington, DC? Firefly, Cobra Commander, Roadblock, and Snake Eyes oozing awesomeness from every pore?
June 29th, I’m ready and waiting for you! Let’s do this.
As you may have guessed from the flood of content all hitting simultaneously, there have been some G.I. Joe: Retaliation footage screening events over the past couple of weeks, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be in contact with a few people who got a chance to attend these events. The only hitch? Any talking about these events was embargoed until 8:00am Greenwich Mean Time. That’s 3:00am Eastern and 12:00 midnight Pacific to us over here in the United States.
Now not only did the always awesome Russ Sheath and Dave Tree write up some very detailed and very extensive reports on these screenings, but Dave also stayed up until all hours of the UK night to talk to us on What’s on Joe Mind about what he saw! He gets into full details, and lets us interrogate him in true What’s on Joe Mind fashion to get to the bottom of G.I. Joe: Retaliation as we come within two months of the film’s release.
Gary, being the consummate professional that he is, got the editing turned around in lightning fast time and we have a very Special Edition of the What’s on Joe Mind podcast in the can and ready to go! Check it out as always on our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below.
I absolutely cannot say enough for my site visitors. I have a couple of guys in the UK who absolutely went above and beyond to bring us these reports. Dave Tree talked about the footage he saw a little over a week ago, and now Russ Sheath has taken considerable time and effort to do this write up for GeneralsJoes as well. They get no payment for this, they do it because they enjoy the site and they want G.I. Joe fans to get an idea of what to expect when June 29th comes.
I feel extremely honored that they would choose GeneralsJoes as a place to post this information, and cannot thank them enough. Fantastic, fantastic coverage.
Russ is a regular contributor to Aint it Cool News, and he sent them one screening report, and then wrote up a specific post geared towards Joe fans for GeneralsJoes as well. Awesome. Russ and Dave, you guys are both awesome.
This screening report encompasses about 10 minutes of footage, and could be considered rich spoiler material, so tread forward with caution. There is a LOT of detail here, and Russ went through a ton of work, so hopefully folks can read it through, enjoy it, and get a good idea of what to expect come June 29th. I know I am extremely excited.
The full post is after the jump.
Good morning, G.I. Joe fans! Well for folks who are eager to know what all the little details are for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, I have got a treat for you today. Paramount did some footage screening for some very select individuals over the past week or two, and GeneralsJoes is lucky enough to have a few reports of that footage for you today!
A big friend of GeneralsJoes and the What’s on Joe Mind podcast Dave Tree from Roll Out Roll Call got to see this footage live and in person, and he did some fantastic work getting this intel dissected and reported to us.
Please keep in mind that some of the footage descriptions you read below could be considered spoilers! If you are looking to go into the film clean and pure, you may want to avoid reading this post.

First of all, I apologize for the delay in getting this posted. I am in Kansas City on business and every once in a while, the job’s gotta come first. 😉
Now that my belly is full and our corporate visions for the next year are decided, time for G.I. Joe! The guys over at HissTank.com not only got screen grabs, but also uploaded the ET Footage to YouTube, and holy hell is it awesome.
We get Cobra Commander firing from some cool looking Cobra helicopter, we have Zartan wounding himself and healing (with trademark blue skin!!) and we have mutha fuggin HISS Tanks. HISS. TANKS. Woah. If I’m getting this geeked out over the footage from ET, how is the trailer going to hit me? Anyway, check out the ET footage embedded below, courtesy of HissTank.com.
Curse me and my business trip taking me half way across the country with no access to my DVR! The Entertainment Tonight footage has aired, and HissTank.com has a bevy of new screen grabs from it!
Check them out right here.
Now I’m being dragged off to a business dinner, but I will be back to fully digest the ET footage and get roaring for the NEW TRAILER!
