It's Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow in new 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' clip


As someone who owned practically every G.I. Joe action figure as a kid; read the awesome Larry Hama comic book for years; and has the entire cartoon run on DVD, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a film I'm desperately hoping gets them right. Not that The Rise of Cobra was terrible, but it didn't feel like the Joe team I remember as a kid.  Fortunately, new director Jon Chu is a child of the 80s just like me, and he seems to have a real fondness for the ninja action that made G.I. Joe so darn cool.

The latest clip from the film pits those eternal enemies, Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and Snake Eyes (Ray Park), against one another while a battle rages outside. These two have a history that goes back deep, both members of the Arishikage Clan until Storm Shadow killed their master. It's interesting to note their varying styles, with Snake Eyes utilizing his military hardware to counter his opponent's throwing star technique.

With Rza playing the Blind Master and Elodie Yung as Jinx, there promises to be more martial arts action than before by a long stretch. Check out the clip below, followed by a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on the fighting sequences. G.I. Joe: Retaliation hits theaters in IMAX on March 28th, and Paramount Pictures has also put out a new poster as a reminder.
