A Glimpse Of The Hard Master From The G.I. JOE Movie!!
Merrick here...
Latino Review has posted an on-the-set photo of Gerald Okamura as The Hard Master in Stephen Sommers' G.I. JOE movie.
The Hard Master is the ninja master/leader of the Arashikage clan who mentors both the young Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes in the ways of the ninja. Hard core Joe comic fans know that the Hard Master has something to do with the long standing rivalry between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
...says the write-up at LR, which accompanies the photograph...
HERE!!!
"The Hard Master" sounds like a porn character to me.

seriously folks- this is gonna be lame
-
SUCK IT!
-
Although he should be wearing a tight black armor suit.
-
I'm almost excited to see how lame this film is going to be.
-
Even The Matrix had that one chick in white.
-
Have a look at this awesome T4 footage!

hopefully they'll stick to canon & have Scrap Iron kill Hard Mas
by the new transported man
I'm a dork
-
Click on it to go to the website where you can see a full body version where she is touching herself. Much more amazing than some generic Kung Fu master.
-
Because when I go into that movie I am going to be soooooooo drunk.
-
Joe Gordan-Levitt.
-
Poppin Fresh Master maybe.
-
Hopefully he doesn't have any lines, cause I don't think he can act his way out of a paper bag. I only remember him from getting his ass kicked in some way, shape, or form by the lead heavy.
-
-Duke & the kid from 3rd Rock go on a mission, and the kid disappears.
-Duke will be young, good looking and angtsy.
-Duke gets recruited for GI Joe
-Duke meets Hawk the leader.
-Wacky subplot with the guy in black who has taken a vow of silence who seems good with swords.
-Lots of gunfights, the good guys never run out of ammo.
-The guy who played Dr. Who and hated every sci-fi minuate of it becuase he is a "real" actor is up to no good, and in a feeble attempt at a "nod" to the fans they'll probably be a metal mask on a wall of antique weapons in his lair, but he won't wear it.
-The quiet guy and the ninja in white fight at least three times but neither wins.
-Cobra Commander is revealed as "gasp" the kid from 3rd rock who was corrupt and faked his death now Duke must stop his former best friend.
-Hawk is killed, Duke is the new leader even though he just joined the team he is the prettiest, and angsty.
-Last scene in the movie is the quiet guy taking off his mask and professing his love to Scalett, and guess what? He's handsome!
-Stepehn Sommers tells everyone how brilliant he is in the DVD commentary and reminds listeners that Van Helsing is also availble on blue ray.
-
WOW! Thx for that! I love Cameron's T1 & t2... but I thought T3, while not as bad as it could have been, was pretty run of the mill and did not expand the story in any appreciable way - the cliffhanger ending was good though.
Now, when I heard that McG (Charlie's Angels) was on T4, I had no interest at all. But, after that YouTube piece, they have my attention. It looks like this story might be good and I like the look and feel of the production art for the most part. so thx again.
As for GI Joe... as you said "Fuck that." Other than Snake Eyes, the rest of this looks worse every time I see new pics online. This only got the green light because Bay did an OK job with Transformers and it made loads of cash... that's not a good enough reason to launch a new franchise. -
I thought they had a picture of the guy from "Samurai Cop".....wow.....that...is....shitty....
-
No way is this going to be good. They fucking ruined Transformers and now they are out to get GI Joe!!
-
well, there's something I never saw coming... GI Joe and stereotypes go together like jews and misering, black folks and watermelon, and old Asian guys and fu manchu's. Yo Joe! (?)
-
thanks, bilboring. My day's been chewing shit, but i didn't have a description worthy of it until now.
-
Awesome line...I wish I'd thought of it first.

the new transported man, it was Zartan, not Scrap Iron
by stereotypical evil archer
I heard one of the comics even said that Zartan contracted it out to Firefly, but I can't verify that.
-
Please haters of our youth... not My Pretty Pony too.
-
You're right. Scrap Iron killed Soft Master, not Hard Master.
I know this, but I didn't know my Congressional Representative when he introduced himself to me. I don't deserve to live. -
Yes!!!! I hope GI Joe is at least at the same level of quality as that fine film.
-
Sorry. almost half expected Big Al's gay dog to be there in the photo. GI Joe will be sucksvill;e.
-
See that? English isn't my first language but at least I'm trying! Stephen Sommers isn't.
-
It just me sad... that they're even doing this. I think back to the awfulness of Transformers and how they stole my youth from me in a 2 hour debacle, and I know that the same will happen with Joe. The G.I. Joe movie, the real movie, is where it is at. Throw me Sepentor, Nemesis Enforcer, and the like and I'm in heaven... Jinx was bomb and it just saddens me that Cobra Commander turned in to a snake (ironic though, no?) Anyway, I didn't read the comics, but once they released those photos of the cast in their black costumes I knew it was over. Scarlett in black? Come on! But thank god she had her crossbow gun... because that is really what it was all about... I'm sad and props to Circean6 for nailing the plot on the head... fuck... I'm just sad about this whole 80's revival affair that has been full swing since the early 2000's. Now where the hell is my Thundercats live action flick! HELP ME MICHAEL BAY, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!
-
He could be named Soft Noodle
-
and his sidekick "Blue Balls Johnson".
-
dubious.
-
did an awesome GI Joe parody. I laughed my ass off when one jet shoots the guy that parachuted out of another jet.
-
the marvel series was one of the best comic lines EVER. the movie might well blow.
-
I smell spin-off.
-
scrap iron killed soft master. zartan killed hard master.
-
a joke, right?
-
Holy crap is this movie going to be laughably bad. Joseph Gordon Levitt, what are you doing in this piece of trash? I'd still like to see him take over the Joker's role.
-
Gi Joe will suck too.
-
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
This movie is going to suck monkey balls... like all of Sommers movies. The bile of shit continues with this no talent filmmaker! -
repeat as often as needed.
-
now I kind of want to do what I can to see that this never gets released.Go back and try again assholes. not every Asian has to fit neatly into a stereotype. It's getting a little old too.
-
That's the laziest costume design I've ever seen.
-
HAHAHA... looks crap
-
the joes are wearing in this movie. It should be difficult to fuck up this movie, but I think Sommers is trying very very hard.
-
Holy shit man, it's called MY LITTLE PONY!!! Get your shit in line! GOD DANM IT!!!
-
should make out the whole movie and fight by scissoring.
-
You read my mind...I'd buy that for a dollar!
-
Is hardly ever hard these days...dang but getting old sucks!! :p
-
This movie looks cheesy and fun as hell. Exactly as it should be. Are you living in a fucking alternate dimension or some shit? G.I. Joe was always cheesy and patriotic to nauseating levels of corniness. What fucking toys and show did you assholes watch? Judging by the complaints, one would think Stephen Sommers was remaking On Golden Pond. Fuck. Grow the fuck up. Its a movie based on a cartoon created to sell action figures. Jesus FUCKING Christ.
-
But one of the reasons this will suck is because they definitely not taking the military aspect of it serious. Sure it was a comic based on a line of toys, and they had some pretty far out adventures, but whatever else you want to say about Larry Hama, the writer, he treated the professionalism of special forces soldiers very seriously. He gave us their ranks, pay grades, primary and secondary MOS, and originally all the firepower they carried where actual military weapons (save for Flash's laser). Sure they faced off with a man in an iron mask and had a member who was a mute ninja, but still they felt like a real military outfit. This is just Man enough for Mega-Force bad. And as for Channing Tatum, who originally didn’t want to be in this because he felt it glorified war, there is a difference between glorifying war and admiring the training, dedication and courage of soldiers. Hell, Sam Peckinpah was even able to do that about the German soldiers in WWII in “Cross of Iron!”
-
The G.I. Joe I remember was the comic book, not the cartoon. I remember asking my father (a Korean War vet) about the terms and weapons that were brought up in the comic, and if they were accurate. He replied yes, and was pretty amazed they listed someone as an E-5 payscale and they talked about LRRPs. So I guess what I am saying is it holds a little bit of a fond place in my heart.

Oh Shit!!! TMNT Shredder Shoeshine Dude made Rank
by dracula_wants_the_amulet
Man this fat old mutherfucker finally got a break!
-
Will anybody die in this? Was the comic like that? Cause the god damn cartoon nobody ever got killed. Basically it was a war to destroy each other's shit since no matter how big or small a character, they all parachuted or escaped to safety. The cartoon made a point of always showing the Cobra pilots parachuting to safety blah blah.I always hated that. When I played GI Joe I was always Snake eyes and I was always banging Scarlett and she had a baby that got tossed into a mutant-mix (blue magic sand and water) which mutated him into a giant red-headed monstrosity (my sister's Ragedy Andy doll) which of course...Snake Eyes had to kill to save the world...thereby breaking his mute heart.More to the point, you should have seen the arguemtns he and Scarlett had....signing furiously and shit. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So Snake Eyes would usually go and beat the shit out of some Micronauts or maybe some robeless Jawas.
-
Those bellies are hard as fuck. He can most likely stop bullets with it. He's the Hard (belly) Master.
-
but then again...i am a martial arts beast. In my mind.
-
I would pay to see that as a GI Joe movie. Especially Snake-eyes beating up some robeless Jawas. There is your film!
-
The hate, I mean. The cartoons were pretty lame, come on. It's a line of TOYS. And people are bitching. Go figure.
-
I am not reacting to a movie based on toys or a cartoon, I am reacting based on a comic book I loved as a kid. A comic book written by a Viet Nam veteran who looked at it as a tribute to those who served with him. In fact many of the characters where named after friends, family and comrades who died serving with him. And to those who haven't read the comic, yes people died in it.
-
F/X on this flick need to be completed by December even though it opens in August which is unheard of. Usually effects work extends til a month before the premiere for big movies such as this. The word is that Paramount is worried they may have a bomb on their hands and they want to see a full print as early as possible to see whether it's worth wasting marketing money on. Not sure what they're worried about; any movie with the astute casting of Marlon Wayans as Ripcord is destined for massive success.
-
And make this all about Snake Eyes. Duke lives!
-
I actually planned to spoil it as I don't think it'll part of the series or any sequel....but it was sweet as shit 2 issue storyline in the comics.
-
It's appropriate that this movie is about the military b/c it is going to TANK! Sorry, that was cheesy, but I stand by the comment. Haven't seen one thing from this movie that has inspired anything remotely close to confidence. The stuff I have seen makes Transformers look like The Godfather!
-
Isn't that the guy Casey Jones beats up in the Ninja Turtles movies?
I'd been hoping against hope for this one, but I think I'm just giving up right now.
It took them decades to nail down an awesome Batman movie. Maybe my grandkids will see the good G.I.Joe movie. -

The Hard Master was slim, the Soft Master fat in the comics...
by monkey_king
Get it right numbskulls. Plus, Snake Eyes didn't train with the Arashikage clan till after his family were killed by Cobra Commanders brother in a terrifying head-on collision.
-
Fuck the Hard Master! Fuck the Soft Master! Fuck the Arashikage clan! Fuck showing anybody's origin or back-story! Just have a movie about the new recruit into a top secret Special Forces Unit and his first mission with them against a terrorist organization called Cobra. Everything else can be in the sequels. How hard is that to do?
-
I'll take your word on the comics, until they get reprinted in an "Essential" volume I won't track them down. My exposure is just the toys and the awful cartoons. Can you recommend if there are any collections of the comics worth tracking down, any story arcs to look for?

Is it really that difficult to post the fucking pic here?!!!
by alienindisguise
You should just change the damn site to "Ain't it Links to Cool News" Not that this is cool..G.I. Joe will suffer worse than the Transformers abomination. Gerald is the go to Asian dude for anything!
-
Please, quit covering the damn movie! It has train wreck written all over it.
-
that killed the Hard Master, Although that actor looks more like the soft master who was fat. The Hard Master was skinny & bald.
-
and he said he looks exactly like Hard Master
-
What will GI JOE have? Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander? I'm sure he'll pull it off but the concept is just ridiculous. Honestly, what will this movie have to offer besides obscure 20 year old references that only the nostalgic will get off to? So far the costume designs and trite recruiting/origin story offer nothing interesting to look forward to.
-
to make it look authentic and then fuck up everyone else? Sure makes sense to me.
-
hope this and Dragonball bombs.

Sorry,but I think GI JOE only works in a cartoon or comic medium
by eoneon
this wont work as a live action film. too tongue in cheek. oh and btw,putz?!? nice name,it fits you, you faggoty trying to be first juvenile donkey raper. eat a cock! stop trying to be first!!!!! and go out and get laid bro... i mean seriously,do it
-
Has been profiled in many martial arts magazines over the years for his mastery of Judo, different forms of Karate and I believe Aikedo. Prob the only bonafided fighter in the film. I wouldn't fuck with him

Truth in advertising.

I'm one of the biggest G.I. Joe fans you're gonna meet, and that's mostly due to the comic. You'll probably find that's true of any real big fans. I see no reason whey this shouldn't be treated like any other comic book movie. There was a lot of material in the comic that could've been used, while the silliest, campiest parts could've been sifted out. And yes, lots of people died in the comic book.Unfortunately, this movie seems to be being made without really understanding what was the best of G.I. Joe. There was a lot of potential for this to be good, but as usual Hollywood doesn't really get the point. Again, no reason this couldn't get the same "respect" a property like Iron Man or Batman gets.
-
In the comic the soft master was pleasantly plump, surprising for a ninja. Stormshadow was the young master. The Hard Master was rail thin. What sucks is if that he was still alive Mako would have been handed this role on a silver platter. They really should have given this to Ken W.
-
Like some other guy up there said, we don't want the toy/cartoon GI JOE. We want the comic book. Trust me my friend, there is a world of difference.
-
He should have a twin named The HAND Master, cause that's just one letter different! See how clever that is? Oooo I'm so proud of myself.....
