Yo Joe!!! GI Joe and the Rise of Cobra

Man!!!! was I crazy about the GI Joe series or what. I vividly remember me and Big B used to bring home all the Video Cassettes (was it such a long time back, no CD's I wonder....) of the GI Joe cartoon series and watch them back to back. It used to be loads of fun, with the sinister cobra commander plotting and hatching conspiracies with his evil brigand consisting of the Baroness, Destro, Zartan and the gang against the GI Joe team of Duke, Scarlett, Lady Jaye, Snake-eyes, stormshadow, gung-ho and others. Catch all the characters from the series here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:G.I._Joe_characters

"This is not the end Cobra will be back" is how all the episodes used to end :D

Raw action and lots of attitude shown by all the characters was what attracted me and with the captivating signature tune which is still fresh in my memory. I'm really excited abut the new movie GI Joe: The rise of cobra, but dunno when its gonna release in India. The movie site is pretty slick with loads of freebies and stuff: http://www.gijoemovie.com/

I also found a nice little parody of the GI Joe series characters. Its a funny song about the G.I. Joe team and its Cobra enemies might do in the after hours — and it features a celebrity cast that’s as impressive as the “G.I. Joe” movie. Make sure you stick around to see Destro and the Baroness practicing their clarinets.
