G. I. JOE: THE REVENGE OF COBRA

 

EXT. DESERT - SANDSTORM

FLINT

Mutt!

SHIPWRECK

You can't save 'im in this storm!

FLINT

I've got to try!

SHIPWRECK

Here, take this!

FLINT

Mutt! Mutt, are you all right?

MUTT

I got sand in my shoe.

FLINT

Come on! We've got to find some way to outlast this storm.

SHIPWRECK

The sand'll tear us to pieces unless we get under this sail!

MUTT

Hey, a sand igloo. Maybe we'll make it after all.

EXT. DESERT - DAY

FLINT

The storm's passing.

SHIPWRECK

Then let's get back on the road! Thrusters on!

SHIPWRECK

Avast, ya sand lubbers, we're free!

EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - OVERCAST

INT. COBRA TEMPLE - HANGAR

COBRA COMMANDER

The Weather Dominator has broken into its three component parts, each of which has fallen into a remote and dangerous part of the earth.

COBRA COMMANDER (CONT.)

The ion correlator now lies somewhere on the Island of No Return. You, Zartan, and you, Baroness, shall lead the search there. Assemble your troops and leave at once.

EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - OVERCAST

BARONESS (O.C.)

Cobra!

EXT. OCEAN - ISLAND OF NO RETURN

WILD BILL

Yee-hoo! There she is, pardners, the Island of No Return. Hey, how's it look from seaside, 'Pedo?

TORPEDO

Really bad, man. Really bad. And just to keep us from gettin' bored, here come the serpents you love to hate.

BARONESS

G. I. Joe is here! We must recover the piece of Destro's Weather Dominator before they do! Cobra!

TORPEDO (O.C.)

Yo Joe!

JOES

Yo Joe

INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER

SCARLETT

The second piece of Cobra's weather control device came down here....

INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER

COBRA COMMANDER

...the Palace of Doom. Major Bludd?

MAJ. BLUDD

Yes, Commander?

COBRA COMMANDER

You will retrieve the hydromaster, the second component of the Weather Domiantor.

MAJ. BLUDD

Cobra!

DESTRO

And what about the third fragment, Cobra Commander, the laser core itself?

COBRA COMMANDER

We must prepare well for its recovery, Destro. Whoever recovers the pieces of the Dominator and reassembles them first will control the fate of earth. It must be us!

INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER

SCARLETT

We've got to put their weather control device back together so we can stop this.

GUNG-HO

The whole cotton-pickin' planet's gone ape!

SCARLETT

Lady Jaye, you'll lead the assault on the Palace of Doom, and....

COMPUTER

Unauthorized entry. Intruder alert. Intruder alert.

GUNG-HO

They're comin' in the supply door!

JOES

Flint, where ya been?, Hey, Junkyard, good boy!, Mutt, you old cattle-cleaner!, Welcome home!, etc.

LADY JAYE

We all kept hoping you'd make it back, Flint.

FLINT

Well, that, that means a lot, uh, knowing your buddies miss you, I mean.

SHIPWRECK

She's your buddy?

FLINT

This is Shipwreck, and he saved our necks, Lady Jaye.

SHIPWRECK

I'd rather save yours.

LADY JAYE

Thanks, but we've got a world to save first. Yo Joe!

INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - HANGAR

SHIPWRECK

Mind if I join up?

FLINT

Like the saying goes, two's company, but three's a regiment.

EXT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT

EXT. DESERT - NIGHT

ROADBLOCK

Nice kitty. Be good, and Roadblock will show you where to find some giant mice.

ROADBLOCK

Cats can climb, but they can't fly!

INT. TRUCK - TRAILER

ROADBLOCK

That was too close.

ROADBLOCK

I heard you, and when I see you, you'd better be friendly.

ROADBLOCK

Well, anybody all tied up in a Cobra truck has got to be my kind o' man.

HONDA LOU [Sally Julian]

Cobra trucks, my hush puppies. These are my trucks, mister. Every one of 'em loaded and paid for by your truly, Honda Lou West, president and manager of Wild West Haulin'.

ROADBLOCK

You're a girl!

HONDA LOU

Congratulations. You figured that out so fast, you must be a rocket scientist.

ROADBLOCK

Look, all I got from you is a truckin' commercial and a lot of sass. What about some thanks for untyin' your ropes?

HONDA LOU

Thanks for what? I'm still a prisoner, and Cobra's still got my trucks, full of finest vittles you ever did see.

ROADBLOCK

A truck full o' good eats, huh?

HONDA LOU

What's it to you, Jack?

ROADBLOCK

I'm hungry, I'm a gourmet chef, and the name's not Jack. It's Roadblock. I'm with G. I. Joe.

HONDA LOU

I don't care if you're with the tooth fairy! I... G. I. Joe? Mister Roadblock, gourmet chef, get ready to chow down. I do believe this is gonna mark the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

EXT. DESERT - NIGHT

EXT. OCEAN - ISLAND OF NO RETURN

CUTTER

Use extreme caution in landing on the reef! That coral is razor sharp and hard as steel!

CLUTCH

Now he tells me.

CLUTCH

Look out, or somethin'! Just look out!

BARONESS

Blast them off the reef, you fools!

BARONESS

Must I do everything myself? Attack! Attack! Attack!

WILD BILL

No need to fear what the lady can't steer! Bullseye!

EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - REEF

CLUTCH

That's showin' her, Bill! Yo Joe! Way to go, guys! Now, let's kick in and get a detail started for the island!

EXT. OCEAN - ISLAND OF NO RETURN

TORPEDO

Secure your positions, pronto! Here's Cobra!

WILD BILL

Wow! Cobra's cut a channel through the reef!

CUTTER

We'll beat 'em to it! Yo Joe!

BARONESS

Cobra!

BARONESS

Look out for that whirlpool!

CUTTER

Hang on!

EXT. JUNGLE - PALACE OF DOOM

MAJ. BLUDD

Cobra company, halt! The scanner indicates the fragment we want is inside that large structure, there. Legend may call it the Palace of Doom, but I call it a simple military objective.

RECONDO

Stay close to me, men. And remember, from here on, silence.

RECONDO

Ready, Flint?

FLINT

Ready, Recondo.

FLINT

Yo Joe!

JOES

Yo Joe!

COBRAS

Cobra!

RECONDO

Yo Joe!

MAJ. BLUDD

I'm caught in a pincers movement! Send in support.

MAJ. BLUDD

Cobra!

LADY JAYE

Their robots are moving into the city ahead of us. I think a small team could break through this firefight and beat them to the weather fragment.

FLINT

What kind of team do you have in mind?

LADY JAYE

Yours truly, Shipwreck, and Gung-Ho.

FLINT

Gung-Ho? You were supposed to stay back at Headquarters.

GUNG-HO

What? And miss a fight?

FLINT

Okay, go for it!

RECONDO

Release PAC/RATs now! Don't let any of those robots get near the temple!

INT. PALACE OF DOOM

GUNG-HO

Wow. I think I saw this place on The Late Late Show.

LADY JAYE

Look, there it is. The weather fragment.

EXT. OCEAN - ISLAND OF NO RETURN

CUTTER

The whirlpool's too strong for our engines! The ship's breaking up!

TORPEDO

Hang tight, Cutter, baby. I just got a mean idea.

TORPEDO

They don't call me Torpedo for nothin'! Yo Joe!

CLUTCH

Hit the deck!

WILD BILL

Yeehoo! Now, that's what I call a plumb unhappy landin'!

EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - REEF

CUTTER

We're stalemated! Torpedo, you got anymore mean ideas?

TORPEDO

Negatorie, good buddy.

SPIRIT

Freedom and I will go to the Island of No Return.

CUTTER

I'm tempted to let you try it, but it's impossible.

SPIRIT

Possibility and impossibility are states of mind. In my mind, there is only the possible.

CUTTER

Fire sea sled!

TORPEDO

Good luck, Spirit.

BARONESS

We must get past them and reach the Island of No Return.

BARONESS

Zartan, where are you? I order you to respond to my orders! Zartan, answer me at once!

TORCH

Ain't you gonna answer the lady, Zartan?

ZARTAN

When it serves my purpose, and not before.

INT. PALACE OF DOOM

SHIPWRECK

Avast, mates. Trouble topside!

SHIPWRECK

Sufferin' seaweed! I don't think he's too crazy about visitors!

EXT. JUNGLE - PALACE OF DOOM

MAJ. BLUDD

Now we'll clear out the Joe Team and claim what is rightfully ours! Destroy and retrieve!

INT. PALACE OF DOOM

LADY JAYE

We're trapped, and he's really mad!

SHIPWRECK

Look at the bright side. At least he's not wearin' shoes.

GUNG-HO

This could be our only chance. Let's go for it!

EXT. ISLAND OF NO RETURN - DAY

SPIRIT

Freedom, so much anguish over a piece of wreckage.... I feel another presence.

STORM SHADOW

That presence feels you as well. Cobra!

EXT. JUNGLE - PALACE OF DOOM

TRIPWIRE

Flint, get set to scramble and ramble!

FLINT

What is it, Tripwire?

TRIPWIRE

My detection device has picked up a mucho earthquake rolling our way. It must've been triggered by the freak weather around the world.

FLINT

Great, and Lady Jaye and the guys still inside the Palace of Doom!

INT. PALACE OF DOOM

SHIPWRECK

Keep movin'. Maybe they'll forget about us.

SHIPWRECK

Scratch the forget part.

SHIPWRECK

Now I know what I always hated about dry land: no place to dive!

EXT. JUNGLE - PALACE OF DOOM

MAJ. BLUDD

Retreat! We must save ourselves!

GUNG-HO

Jump it, Lady Jaye! Time's runnin' out!

LADY JAYE

Gung-Ho, you're a handy guy to have around.

MAJ. BLUDD

Cobra!

LADY JAYE

Flint! Get us out of this!

FLINT

Come on! Now! This place is shaking like a ten-cent milkshake!

LADY JAYE

We lost the fragment!

FLINT

We'll get it back! No time now!
