FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“G.I. Joe Retaliation” is the 3-D sequel to the 2009 film “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.” The franchise is based on Hasbro’s G.I. Joe action figures and characters. In “G.I. Joe Retaliation,” the G.I. JOE team is not only fighting mortal enemy COBRA, but the team is also battling threats from within the government that jeopardize the team’s very existence.
Dwayne Johnson takes the lead in “G.I. Joe Retaliation” as Roadblock, a G.I. Joe team member who has preferred to work behind the scenes. Bruce Willis has a supporting role as General Hoe Colton. Channing Tatum is back as Duke Hauser, but he has a much smaller role than he did in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.” Here is what Johnson, Willis and Tatum had to say about “G.I. Joe Retaliation” in separate interviews.
Interview with Dwayne Johnson
Why do you think be “G.I. Joe Retaliation” is the best “G.I. Joe” movie so far?
This is going to be the greatest “G.I. Joe” movie ever because I can humbly say because I’m in it, number one. [He laughs.] Number two, because I’m in it. And number three, there’s a really bad-ass bald guy that I had to call, and his name happens to be Bruce Willis.
What did it mean for you to be a part of “G.I. Joe Retaliation”?
It meant the world to me to be part of this franchise, legendary franchise. We hear those words all the time: “legendary” and “epic” and “amazing,” but that’s what “G.I. Joe.” I’m a little biased, obviously, because I’m in the movie, but I’m not just saying it because it’s our movie. I’m saying it because there’s a deep-rooted connection.
When I was a kid, when I was 8, 9 years old, I loved “G.I. Joe” and “Star Wars.” Those were my two. I was like a kid in a candy story with what I had: a massive collection. So like a lot of kids, I played out the fantasies in my head of being these heroes.
And I get a call about a year-and-a-half ago from the studio. [Paramount Film Group President] Adam Goodman says, “Hey, buddy, we’ve got an idea for you. What do you think of this? How do you feel about becoming a leader of G.I. Joes?” [He laughs.]
This was my reaction, by the way, on the phone. I started laughing because I thought it was so cool. So to wrap the answer all up, it’s an honor, it’s a privilege, and I had a blast. I can’t wait for the world to see it.
How would you describe Roadblock?
I play a character called Roadblock. He’s unique in the fact that he, in the G.I. Joe mythology, he’s the glue that kept all the Joes together, but never interested in being in the spotlight. He was best friends with Duke Hauser, played by Channing Tatum. And was very comfortable with Duke being in the spotlight, but Roadblock was finding being in the shadows, being the glue, galvanizing the men and the women, making sure that the missions were a success, but oftentimes, like in life, when we have challenging times, trying times, leaders emerge. And in this case, Roadblock as a leader emerges through to the forefront through very challenging times in this movie.
What was it like working with Channing Tatum?
I love working with Channing. First of all, he’s a great guy. In our business, just like any business, when somebody is great to be around and they’re fun and they’re effervescent and they’re positive and optimistic, you want to be around them. And you want to work with them. Channing was great.
Channing embodies Duke. He is the man when it comes to Duke of the G.I. Joes. And again, growing up with G.I. Joes, I have a great love and affinity for the mythology of G.I. Joes. So Channing in that role: fantastic.
Our chemistry jumps off the screen. We had a lot of fun together. And now I can give him a bunch of sh*t because he’s the world’s most sexiest man.
What’s the mission in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
The mission right now is to find out who actually behind basically the majority of the Joes being completely wiped out and COBRA Force basically taking over the world. That is the mission, without giving too much of the movie away. And we go on a mission in a very strong way.
What are the special weapons that you use?
The special gun I had the great privilege of using is a Ma Deuce. It’s a massive weapon. From what I was told, it’s the biggest weapon held on screen by an individual, which was a lot of fun. If we’re going to break a record, we can break that one too. But by the way, I had a lot of fun driving a Hiss Tank, which is the world’s fastest tank.
So one of the things that makes, in my opinion, “G.I. Joe” so unique is that you have two worlds, essentially. And they are infused and combined very powerfully, in the fact that you have boots-to-the-ground soldiering, real men and women — and that transcends ever culture.
Then you have this fantastical side of ninjas who are scaling the Himalayas and doing these amazing things where you have to suspend your disbelief beyond. And so you have that delicate balance of two worlds that come together in this amazing way. So for me, by the way, having a lot of love for the mythology of G.I. Joe, you can imagine what it was like when I was in a scene, and I look over and there’s Snake Eyes. This Snake Eyes who I thought I was when I was a kid. We’re making him come to life in this movie, which is awesome!
Can you describe working with Adrianne Palicki?
Adrianne Pailicki did great as the only girl on set. There were a couple [of girls on set]: She and Elodie [Yung], who plays Jinx. Adrianne did great on set. It was a tough set — a lot of testosterone around, but she holds her own, which is why she’s actually perfect for Jaye.
What kind of director is Jon Chu?
Jon Chu as a director brought a powerful affinity and respect to the mythology. Like me, Jon, who’s always inspired to tell stories as a director, as a kid, he would tell his stories through G.I. Joes. It’s always something special, I think, when an actor or director, write or producer gets their hands on a piece of material that they have a deep-rooted connection with.
And in this case, with Jon Chu, he got his hands on this material. He was hungry as a director, and he also recognized, “I’ve got this massive brand and this massive franchise. And we’ve got one shot to make it right.” And he goes, “I’m going to grab this sucker by the throat and I ain’t letting it go.”
Can you talk about the international appeal of “G.I. Joe Retaliation”?
I think what appealed most to all our international audiences around the world is that it’s a big, fun movie. And even if you grew up loving the mythology G.I. Joe or the action-man series, as it spawned off into throughout Europe, whether you’re familiar with it or not, you still can enjoy the movie. And it’s a lot of fun, bottom line.
Interview with Bruce Willis
What works about the “G.I. Joe” movie franchise?
It’s an ambitious film, and it’s complicated in a lot of ways. It’s a big cast, it combines big action — huge action. Big action stars and comedy.
What can you say about the chemistry between the cast of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
It’s funny, it’s entertaining, huge action in it. And to find a cast this big to find a way not only to get along with themselves but to develop on-screen relationships that actually work. It makes it seem like they are a working group and a working machine that understand what’s at stake and what they have to do.
How would you describe General Joe Colton?
You have to go back to when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was playing with the G.I. Joe action figures. And in 45 years or however many years it’s been, G.I. Joe never spoke. You never really got that. And it’s an honor for me to play General Joe Colton, the guy who put this G.I. Joe squad together. I had a ball working on this film. And we want to do another one.
It’s an honor for me, just as a guy. I still remember playing with G.I. Joes all the time. Now, to be a grown man who could play General Joe Colton really is an honor for me. It doesn’t seem like I’m playing a character. It feels like somebody that I know, and I felt like I had to live up to it and live up to General Joe Colton.
What was it like working with Dwayne Johnson and Byung-hun Lee?
I would put those two guys ahead of myself. I was just kind of standing next to them saying, “Please don’t hit me.” Those guys are the real deal and fun, and [they] just hit it out of the park, just really, really brought it to life. It’s a tough thing. It’s a magic trick to be able to do something so complicated and make it look like we’re just having a conversation.
I’m a fan of Byung-hun Lee. He’s the real deal. He would come in here and just clear everybody out here in about four seconds. But [he’s] gentle and really disciplined. And he is the real deal. None of that is fake. He’s a dude.
[Dwayne Johnson and I] have been friends for a while. I was so happy to work with him. He does it all, man. He makes it looks effortless. He’s just really fun and funny. In any fight, you want that guy standing next to you. It was great.
What can you say about the weapons in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
The weaponry on this film was off the charts. It raised the bar, for sure. It was like, “Give me that.”
How would you describe the military creed?
There’s something really cool that I really relate to and I really like. I always supported the military. Whatever’s anybody’s take on it is, the bottom line is that it’s about doing the right thing and looking after people and trying to help people. I like that creed. Whether there’s comedy in it or not, there’s still the idea of looking after people. And I like that a lot.
What will surprise people about “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
I think people want to see you beat your best performance and beat your best work and surprise them. There’s nothing better than going to the movies and being surprised and going, “Oh my God! How’d they do that?” Whether it’s a stunt or whether it’s a scene or whether it’s a joke that you, it’s a great job to have. It’s a great job to have to continue to challenge yourself to beat your best record.
Can you talk about the sense of honor in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
I think that there is a sense of honor in the East that this film really speaks to. It’s that same thing: It’s about doing the right thing, about helping people, about service and about — in some cases — sacrifice. It is a universal thing. It’s a worldwide concept: That you either do the right thing or you don’t do the right thing. This is a whole team of men and women who do the right thing.
What about the comedic elements of this movie?
There’s some stuff with Adrianne Palicki that makes me laugh right now. It’s just crazy. Just out of nowhere we found this little catch phrase, which became this funny runner in the film. Working with Dwayne Johnson was just a thrill for me. We’d been friends for a long time but we’d never worked together.
What can audiences expect when they see “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
It’s entertaining. I mean, we have made a great film, a really strong, big film … And we’ll compete with everything that’s out there.
Interview with Channing Tatum
How would you describe the action in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”?
It’s “G.I. Joe.” If there’s nothing exploding, I don’t know what it would be. There’s definitely ninjas and swords and guns, for sure. Galore!
What can you say about ex-Navy SEAL Harry Humphries, who helped train the movie’s cast members?
Harry Humphries has taken us through all kinds of weapons training and movement. He’s maybe one of the most iconic Navy SEALs that’s ever walked the face of the earth. We worked with him on the first [“G.I. Joe” movie] for a little bit, and we worked with him on the full ride for this one. We’ve got some actual real SEALs among us that are helping us along the way.
What was it like to work with Dwayne Johnson?
I keep holding myself back from saying little soundbites when he was wrestling. I love that guy. Seriously. We worked with mutual directors and I never got to meet him. And now, he’s just as sweet and an amazing of a guy as everyone says he is.
How would you describe the relationship between Duke and Roadblock?
He actually trainer me, and because he doesn’t actually want to work behind a desk and sort of be taken off the battlefield, he has not moved up, and I have. It’s weird for me to have to be able to give him orders, but he’s an actual higher-ranking officer than I am.
What do you like best about being part of the “G.I. Joe” franchise?
It feels fun. I get to play make-believe all over again, with the biggest make-believe game of all time.
