Plot Outline: The G.I. Joe force must oppose a Cobra organization that has secretly allied with a subterranean reptilian who were their founders.
Plot: Time and time again, Cobra has been on the threshhold of global domination, only to be thwarted by the Joes. Now the ruthless terrorist organization has a new ally, the Cobra-La race, led by Golobulus. Golobulus wants to steal the Joes' "Broadcast Energy Transmitter" in order to ripen space spores and mutate the people of Earth. When Duke is injured and the rest of the force immobilized, it's up to the new "rawhides" and Slaughter's Marauders to pick up the slack and save the world

Movie Quotes: Beach-head: You six rawhides, you're gonna learn soldiering, and - hey, there's only five of you. Where is that gold-plated goof-off, 'Lt. Falcon'?
Jinx: Terrific question!
Big Lob: Man said he has some errands to do. Go to the tailor, wallpaper his footlocker... weird stuff.
Tunnel Rat: I think he had a date or something.

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Nearly at the end of the credits there is the following paragraph: 'Many thanks to the Penguins in this film. They were treated most respectfully and no harm ever came to them in their work.'

Goofs: We know about 4 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Continuity: When The Joes are hiding the B.E.T. in the civilian base, Lifeline is seen standing on the truck. Lifeline is still supposed to be in the Himalayas, looking for Roadblock's unit.

Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list - like these:
Mindful that the TV show was being compared unfavorably to "Robotech" (1985) for its sanitized depiction of combat, the producers decided to have a death scene for Duke to give the movie a harder edge, but upper management forced them to add a line saying that he only went into a coma.
The character of Big Lob was created for the movie, there is no action figure of him, nor is he in the comic books.
During the opening sequence when Pythona is breaking into the Cobra base, the audio during the part where the snakes chew the fence open is sampled from the climactic lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars (7 minutes and 2 seconds into the film). Additionally, during the scene where Cobra first attacks the Joe's secret base, which holds the B.E.T, more audio from Star Wars can be heard, including OBVIOUS TIE Fighter and even breathing sounds from Darth Vader's suit, when Duke is attacked by Serpentor (roughly 15 minutes and 43 seconds into the film). This particular piece of audio is taken from the scene in Star Wars where Vader is defending the Death Star, as you can also hear the instrument panel beeps from his TIE Fighter.
