Cutlock Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Not sure if a topic on this has been brought up, haven't been here in a while, but as some of you already know: Duke Hauser is going to die in G.I Joe, or maybe now he isn't, that is why the delay happened. But what does Duke mean to G.I Joe that Roadblock doesn't? Well for one he is the stereotyped white male buff dream boy Channing Tatum lead that we've all hated to see but still watched. For starters he has literally been the main character of the G.I Joe franchise, in the show, in the animated movie and the movie that was created only to serve as a prequel to this film (so it's ignorable). But now he gets killed off in 13 minutes of the film? He's probably back in a coma now, but still, he was the G.I Joe franchise for a while and now their making that Snake Eyes and Dwayne Johnson. While killing the first films main character would work for a sequel to Green Lantern (shut up Hal Jordan fanboys), not really for G.I Joe. Thoughts? Do you want Duke dead?
Orogun01 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 You watched G.I. Joe?Why? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Blarghagh Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Didn't they cancel this movie? Or at least push it back so far as to allow for reshooting the entire thing?
Nepenthe Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 My thoughts are that I didn't understand a single word of the OP. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Gorgon Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Is Duke Hauser the guy from Duke Nukem ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorgon Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 What, I collected star wars and transformers. You know stuff that was actuall cool back then. 2 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Malcador Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Didn't they cancel this movie? Or at least push it back so far as to allow for reshooting the entire thing? Pushed it back to make it 3D.

Tale Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 To make 3D and extend Duke's appearance in it. Test screenings claimed he didn't get enough time. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Hurlshort Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 It actually looked pretty good in the trailers, you've got Bruce Willis making a cameo and The Rock always puts on a decent performance. I liked the first movie, it was a fun action movie that didn't take itself too seriously. It's based on a toy line for goodness sakes, it doesn't have a real high bar set. Transformers suck, Gorgon. Only the lame kids played with them
Raithe Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Transformers suck, Gorgon. Only the lame kids played with them Hey, I funded a trip to America for a friends wedding by putting some of my old boxed Transformers on ebay a few years ago. (Technically, that was a year or two before Michael Bay released his film..) "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

HoonDing Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Snake Eyes was the only good part of the G.I. Joe movie. What with the Crysis suits, Baroness being a fake blond ex-girlfriend of Duke's, Scarlett having self-esteem issues, Destro being a squeaky puny Asian guy, and Storm Shadow looking like a member of a J-pop boy band. G.I. Joe is serious business. Edited June 11, 2012 by Drudanae The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Guard Dog Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Duke? Snake eyes? Destro? Who the heck are you guys talking about?

And they only shot an extra week with Tatum. The studio is working things out to see if they need to add extra seens with Dwayne and Channing! Oh and to the Cenation: WE WHOOPED YOUR ASS IN FAKE WRESTLEING! WOOT!.
Gorgon Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 It's two words. 'You are' contracted. How hard is that. 'Scuse me. I get testy about that. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Oerwinde Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 They killed him off originally because Jon Chu was a GI Joe fan and thought the first one sucked and the best way to go forward was to kill everyone and start fresh. Dwayne Johnson playing Roadblock meant that Flint couldn't be the leader because no way was The Rock playing second banana to a nobody. Turns out killing Duke didn't sit well with focus groups and Channing Tatum is some sort of box office draw since he had two successful movies this year. Add to that that overseas people are sucking up the 3d like its going out of style (please let it be going out of style) judging from the large overseas gross from various 3d re-releases and such, so they figured pushing it back for 9 months to allow for Channing Tatum's return in a 3rd one and to double their overseas gross was a good investment. Thats my understanding at least. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Hurlshort Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Channing Tatum is awesome, btw. His last few movies have been fantastic, and he's pretty easy on the eyes.

HoonDing Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 A quick check on imdb revealed that Revelation will feature Jinx... I still have this doll action figure. All is forgiven. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
WDeranged Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I used to love the cartoon as a kid, Cobra Commander's downfall in the feature length cartoon was very memorable, I can't bring myself to watch the movie though, the international black ops style doesn't appeal to me at all.
