We soon learn that Cobra-La is an ancient civilization that somehow manages to bankroll Cobra's international ops, from inside an ice dome, in a place growing with death plants and murder bugs (Yep.) Its leader, Golobulus (a scene-chewing Burgess Meredith), uses a winged badass by the name of Nemesis Enforcer to pave the way for Cobra-La's return to surface living by wiping out the human population by launching deadly spores into Earth's orbit. Here, the animated series raises the stakes - Duke gets hurt in battle! - and we know we're in for a very PG-13 conflict between good versus evil.

Mindbender can persecute their raspy-voiced leader, a mysterious woman infiltrates Cobra's base and reveals herself to be Pythona, a citizen of the mysterious Cobra-La, who needs Serpentor's help in retrieving a energy-making device called the BET, a device key to the bad guy's plan to rule the world.Ĭut to the Snow-Cat full mountains of somewhere very cold as the Joes test the BET moments before Cobra forces invade. The plot proper doesn't kick in until after the three minute assault on the Statue of Liberty, where Cobra's emperor, Serpentor, puts Cobra Commander on trial for his incompetence. The opening title sequence, which basically exists to start the show off with a bang (plot holes be damned) features the biggest battle ever between the Joes and Cobra, which works in face time for almost every major and supporting player in the Joe verse - even Major Blood.

Whatever the movie's faults, Joe succeeds at transplanting the Joes' action to the big screen, giving the movie - dare I say it - an "epic" feel when compared to its afterschool cartoon origins. Nemesis Enforcer is one of the best things ever made. Verdict: It's better than that steaming pile of Stephen Sommers that came out last summer. Joe: The Movie (taped off USA Network, back in the cartoon days of Turbo Teen and Jem) that I was curious how well a movie featuring space spores from Cobra-La would play out, some ten years since I have seen it last. So, so many days were spent watching the hell out of my VHS copy of G.I.

It's hard to be objective about a movie that helped form the bedrock of my fanboy-ness.
