Just a few notes from watching too many commentaries.

1. It's cheaper to shoot outside the US. In terms of the Czech Republic, I'm guessing that there is architecture that Somers thinks it way cool.

2. The ratings restrictions are different. From what Paul K ANdersons says of the 1st AvP movie, because it was monster vs monster or human vs monster, it gets a more mellow rating (cuz it's not human vs human). In his commentary, he said he was surprised that it got a PG13 rating as opposed to an R. Take that as you will. IF there is any truth in this, the Joe movie might be able to get away with being more violent than what the ratings people would do in the US. Especially if Cobra utilizes BATs over Troopers and Vipers. Shoot, even if they used clones (ala SW), the rating would most likely be more mellow.

3. Uh, ran out of thoughts.

Here's a question tho, IF the movie is gonna be based on the Marvel run, which part of the 155 issues are they covering? Snake Eyes wasn't the crazy ninja that he ended up becoming AFTER the Cobra War AND during DD's WHOLE run. But we already know there'll be a huge SNake Eyes vs STorm Shadow fight. I just want to know why them? Cuz they are the fighters of the team? I don't feel that a movie needs a one-on-one fight. But then, it's formulaic to do so. :\
