Trivia:

Lt. Falcon was originally intended to be the son of General Hawk.

Goofs:

Continuity: Duke's chest injury alternates briefly when Falcon comes to his side. Serpentor's snake javelin clearly hit him in the left half of his chest, approximately where his heart would be, and his blood can be seen soaking his bandages. In one shot, the blood stain is on the right half of his chest, but in the next shot is back on the left.

Quotes:

[Seeing one of Cobra-La's flying creatures]
Roadblock: Even their air force is ugly!

Where do these people train?

Dude, great movie and all, but do the Joes, Cobra, Decepticons, autobots, Rebel Alliance, and the Imperial forces all train in the same place? I mean, not one of them could shoot the broadside of a STAR DESTROYER, let alone a barn! Sure, Sgt. Slaughter was HARDCORE! And Nemesis Enforcer seemed to be the only competent one amongst that whole group, but, for the love of god, what backwoods half-baked military academy did these people graduate from? GI-Joe is America's "Highly-trained" special mission force? Wow. The lesser-trained must be a bunch of blinded retarded monkeys shooting laser-firing M-16's wildly!
