Trivia

The electric motorcycles the characters are riding throughout the movie are heavily modified Energica Eva Ribelle.

The movie is a reboot of the G.I. Joe property on film, and intended to be part of a shared universe of features based on Hasbro properties with G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant, Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, ROM: Spaceknight and Micronauts.

Tommy's grandmother Sen (Eri Ishida) is based on Obake Obaasan ("Demon Granny"), Storm Shadow's aunt in the comics.

Andrew Koji hated the two G. I. Joe films in a interview saying "I thought about playing that character [Storm Shadow] because I didn't like the first two films. I can say that. I'm allowed to not like a film. So, I was hesitant, at first, to even accept that. That's a big studio film and my first role in a big studio film, so I was very hesitant because I didn't have that trust in Hollywood to do that. What Warrior taught me and the voice that it gave me helped my work on Storm Shadow. I don't wanna play a character with a six-pack. I wanted him to be human and flawed. He's going through stuff. For me, when I saw the first G.I. Joe films, I was like, 'I don't wanna do that. That's not the kind of thing I wanna do.'"

Last film to feature 2012 MGM lion.
