G.I. JOE: THE FALL OF COBRA Set for Release February 1, 2023 on YouTube

It’s almost here! Our labor-of-love fan fiction film G.I. JOE: THE FALL OF COBRA premieres tomorrow afternoon at 3:30pm on the AJ Epyx Productions YouTube channel! Set after the events of 1987’s G.I. JOE: THE MOVIE, a recovering Duke sends Stalker, Scarlett, and Snake-Eyes on an unsanctioned mission to Cobra Island where they confront a newly revived Cobra Commander along with Destro and the Baroness. We didn’t just make this for experimentation. We did it for the love of Joe and what we aspired the Hollywood movies to be even on a shoestring budget. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to AJEpyxProductions1 to see it first when it premieres! Yo Joe!
