It opens with a giant airship deploying dozens of Cobra Paratroopers onto the Statue of Liberty. Very cool way to start off, and the theme music? Fucking amazing.
Then, a cobra ship is shot down...but Duke with the hugest fucking gun in GI Joe history. He's also wearing a jetpack, which makes it cooler.
Holy shit, a Cobra version of a Star Destroyer!!
The best sequence in the opening: Snake Eyes leaps up from nowhere, spins this ship sending the pilot falling to his death, slides in and flies it away. Literally, he just jumps from off-screen 'cause he's a ninja.
I don't even remember what this Joe's name is, but he's got huge balls. He's on the Statue, grappling hooks onto a plane, smashes the cockpit, explodes it, then grappling hooks to another ship. Balls.
Until you've punched a terrorist leader off of the Statue of Liberty, you're not a man.
The Joe's sometimes used animals, and here they thought the mission would be best served with a condor and a big dog. This opening is epic.
Adding insult to injury, the dog and condor are just a distraction so he could get knocked out by a girl.
Shipwreck!
And finally, victory and an image that would be on posters around the country if this had actually happened. Yo Joe!
And since I think the AMAZING song does a lot for it, here's the entire video for your viewing pleasure.
