It’s not news for some Vancouver film crew. I spotted a G.I. Joe t-shirt this week at a location shoot.
Snake Eyes.
Silent ninja commando Snake Eyes is one of the most popular G.I. Joe characters. He played a big role in the second movie, G.I. Joe: Retribution, with an aerial battle between him and the ninjas of his arch enemy Storm Shadow, who happens to be Snake Eyes’ blood brother.
