Yes, Virginia... There is a GI Joe Movie



and here is Snake Eyes.

They got the tattoo right. Only it's on the inside of his right forearm, not on the shoulder of his ninja suit.

Discuss.

I can't believe this is new to you. I've known about this for months!

I've known about the movie. The pic is new to me.

It pleases Lao Tzu to get tattoos of I-Ching hexagrams.

I like the suit. Sort of. Are they doing the styrofoam-formed muscle thing, though?

I think its the armored look. Also, that's Ray Park. The guy who played Darth Maul.

Who is Ron Perlman playing. If he ain't in it, I ain't into it.

Ah. Yet another childhood dream come true. I was saddened later to learn how many others people though SnakeEyes was SO cool. I thought I alone idolized the silent ninja.

Probably my favourite single issue comic from the 80's was GI Joe #21 where Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow go at it for 22 pages without dialog.

I can only hope you mean they were fighting. Otherwise, I am sure the Comics Code Authority would not have approved.

I rmember someone had the origin of Snake-Eyes issue at school, and, man... that was just a huge deal. Amazing more of that stuff isn't in collected format.
