G.I. Joe: The Movie Opening Sequence5th of 5 Sunbow opening sequences. First aired April 18, 1987.Previous opening sequence: Sunbow Season 2 Opening Sequence Next opening sequence: Operation Dragonfire Opening Sequence Previous episode: Into Your Tent I Will Silently Creep Next episode: G.I. Joe: The Movie, Part 1 |
Cobra attacks a ceremony on Ellis Island, only to find the event guarded by G.I. Joe. As the Joes defend the Statue of Liberty, Cobra Commander plants a bomb at the statue's base. Joe air power holds off Cobra's vehicles while Duke, via jet pack, carries the Commander's bomb to the Cobra airship, which is destroyed when the bomb explodes. The Joes pose victorious on Lady Liberty's crown.
Some of the Joes in the final shot on Liberty's crown are a little hard to make out due to the glare of the lights. Upon careful examination, I believe the lineup is (from left to right): Lady Jaye, Flint, Footloose, Beach Head, Quick Kick, Lifeline, Roadblock, Duke, Scarlett, Gung-Ho, Wild Bill, Snake Eyes, Low-Light, Hawk, and Iceberg.
