Do you know what happens to Ray Park when he's hit by lightning?

He's forced to wear a full-body visored ninja outfit and join a super-heroic military organization, that's what!

Is Jet Li getting cast as Storm Shadow? Having one without the other is WRONG! Also if there is Storm Shadow will he be pre or post cobra betrayal?

Our home in Oklahoma was struck by lightning twice.
Couple that with the fact that my father was struck by lightning as a child, things got tense in our household when those big Oklahoma storms hit.

I'm intrigued. Park is usually worth watching. 'Course, the other 90% of the movie might be dreck.
"Wherever there's trouble, G.I. Joe is there." Coincidence? Or the military-industrial complex perpetuating itself? Posts: 3826 | Registered: May 2005

Wha...huh? Has it been so long for me that I don't remember even a hint of that? I always thought Flint banged every woman in the group anyway...

I am so afraid this movie will suck so hard. If it does suck...Puffy will probably post about it first. Posts: 3354 | Registered: May 2005

I just want to point out that Snake-eyes/Scarlett pairing was all over the Hama comics of the 80's, and Scarlett/Duke pairing was all over the TV show.

Sort of. Hama has said in interviews that he dropped some subtle sparks between the two into the "silent" story, but let the attraction mostly remain unspoken.
(No pun.)
Scarlett and Duke were a couple on the show?

I think it was obvious in Snake Eye's origin when Scarlett got miffed that Snake compared Scarlett to his sister, both how much Snake cared about her and who Scarlett wanted to be in Snake's life. That only about six issues after "Silent Interlude."
They weren't a couple in the way Ripcord and Candy were a couple, but that's where the romantic tension lay in the comics--between Snake Eyes and Scarlett.
Same way with the TV show. They weren't sneaking off to make out, but if anybody "paired off," on missions, and if there was anyone who Scarlett seemed more quick to ask after, it was Duke.

I'm gonna have to buy some sort of G.I. Joe box set or something, 'cause I've gotten old enough to forget a lot of things.

I really don't remember him speaking either, but it's been about 20 years since I read any GI Joe comics.

And in the old G.I.Joe comic they didn't use thought balloons, so they didn't have that crutch to show what he was thinking or feeling.

Snake Eyes actually was in a serious relationship with Scarlett. During a helicopter crash as he attempted to save her the windshield exploded and disfigured his face as well as damaging his vocal chords. He was informed by Doc that he needed to turn back and get immediate medical attention or else lose his voice permanently, but Snake Eyes opted to finish the mission.
