Seems weird that the mute ninja commando would end up being the last character vignette that Paramount posted from the G.I. Joe roster, but maybe they were just saving the best for last. There is some decent smatterings of new footage peppered throughout the short clip below. Check it out!
Many folks in the Twittersphere last night were letting me know that there was some exclusive footage shown on WWE Raw last night in promotion of G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Thankfully, YouTube user djdmac24 was ready, willing, and able to capture this video and post it up on YouTube.
A lot of the footage is stuff we’ve seen before, but there are some great behind-the-scenes clips and some additional Cobra Commander and Water Moccasin shots.
Collider.com has scored some exclusive images from G.I. Joe: Retaliation featuring Snake Eyes, Flint, Jinx, Roadblock, Duke, and Joe Colton. The images look to take place throughout various parts of the film, with the Joes in varying states of distress.
Check out the images at Collider, or mirrored below.

I know we’ve seen the Colton and shirtless Flint ones before, but the image of the four characters walking through fire is definitely a new one. If you look at Roadblock, too, it looks as if he’s holding that suitcase launching system that Firefly and Zartan have been using in so many of the TV Spots and trailers.
With the premiere happening yesterday in Korea, and a new influx of film clips, the excitement is certainly building for the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Twitziller is feeding on it. Another update was posted today, looking forward towards March 29th. We’ve seen the below vehicle throughout several trailers and TV spots, and it certainly belongs on this list.

Something that the last G.I. Joe film perhaps missed the “boat” on (no pun intended) was using existing G.I. Joe hardware as a template or building block when designing their vehicles. There was certainly some state of the art technology and vehicles in The Rise of Cobra, but most of them appeared totally conceived out of thin air. From all appearances, G.I. Joe: Retaliation will have at least a bit more base in vehicular reality. The HISS has already gotten a lot of attention, and the Water Moccasin above certainly serves attention as well. Some will make connections between the Cobra helicopter and the FANG as well. It only makes sense.
Granted the fan boat you see above isn’t a true real world equivalent to the Water Moccasin but it takes that foundation and really ramps it up. I love how Twitziller puts some attention above specifically on water based vehicles as well, considering how prevalent they were in the Cobra motor pool. From the Water Moccasin to the Moray, the Piranha, BUGG, and Hammerhead, Cobra was not shy about watercraft, and I’m glad that is being explored in the film.
Keep following Twitziller on Twitter for the latest updates, and keep watching GeneralsJoes as well. Previous entries can be seen below.
After a day full of film clips, Paramount has also posted a new TV Spot for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation film. This particular TV Spot only has a second or two of new footage, including Snake Eyes and Roadblock popping some caps side-by-side.
