Trivia:
The action scene on the Paris streets were filmed in 14 days at the town Dejvice, Prague, Czech Republic. Filmmakers built shops with flowers, changed school names and parked mostly old French-manufactured cars (about 70 were found and used). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The CGI tram ramming the Hummer during the Paris chase scene, although loosely based on the Paris "Tramway des Maréchaux", looks nothing like the actual tram. However, even though the Tramway looks nothing like the actual Paris tram, keep in mind the movie does take place in the future. Things do change. more
Quotes:

Bastille Prison Warden:
James McCullen, you Scottish pig, you've been found guilty of treason for the sale of military arms to the enemies of our Lord, King Louis XIII, even whilst you sold arms to our Lord himself.
James McCullen - 1641:
Your king is a vile bag of filth who murders his own allies. I should have charged him double.
Bastille Prison Warden:
You tried to overthrow the Crown in conspiracy with its enemies.
James McCullen - 1641:
Unlike your simpleton king, his enemies know that is the true McCullen destiny not simple to supply arms, but to run the wars!
Bastille Prison Warden:

I watched this film last night and luckily I had no high expectations. As a fan of the G.I Joe toys when I was a kid (back then they where called Action Force) I had a good idea of the characters and story before hand. I am glad to say this film stayed true to most of the original concepts with a few tweaks for the better here and there.
Go see this film if you want to see a fun action film full of special effects and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Don't go and see this film if you are an uptight, unhappy film critic that spends too much time highlighting plot holes and acting because that's not what this film is about. It's more of a roller-coaster ride. Fast, furious and just fun.
