Did you know
• Ray Park was nervous about wearing the ninja suit and asked to practice with it at home so that he could be comfortable with it. He found the suit (composed solely of rubber with a metal visor) like wearing a rubber band, and had to put effort into moving in it.
• Dennis Quaid took the role of General Hawk on the insistence of his son, a fan of G.I. Joe.
• During the tour of The Pit, Hawk tells new recruits that "knowing is half the battle." The same line was used in public service announcements at the end of the G.I. Joe (1985) animated series.
