    • Trivia
      Ray Park was nervous about wearing the ninja suit and asked to practice with it at home so that he could be comfortable with it. He found the suit (composed solely of rubber with a metal visor) like wearing a rubber band, and had to put effort into moving in it.
    • Goofs
      The President's "American" accent slips back to Jonathan Pryce's native English accent several times.
    • Quotes

      Heavy Duty: [about handling the accelerator suits] Careful. They're worth millions of dollars each.

      Ripcord: [in a suit] Millions of dollars. Got it.

      [falls out of the van]

      Heavy Duty: [annoyed] Jesus.

      Ripcord: My bad. My bad. Won't happen again!

      [Ripcord gets run over by a car]

    • Crazy credits
      Part of the closing credits appear on a giant metal G.I. Joe logo. Visible on this logo are other military logos, including old G.I. Joe stickers, the US flying stars, and the G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 (2005) Sigma 6 designation.

    Super non realistic action film but above average

    I see why The film has a low rating.

    First of all the graphics are garbage. You could clearly see A lot of things aren't real. As well as some of the roles do not suit the actors. Like marlon's.

    Also the story lacks deepness. Each character introductions wasn't good enough. There wasn't a lot of talking in the film action to action to action.

    All that being said I found myself enjoying the film
