A Snake-Eyes & Storm Shadow Ninja Throw Down In 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Clip

In this new action packed clip from G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow have it out with bullets and ninja stars. The struggle between the two former brothers in the Arasikage Clan of ninjas (Ray Park and Byung-hun Lee) will hopefully feature heavily into the plot of the grittier sequel to 2008's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Focusing on the Generation Two characters from the '80s animated TV show, Roadblock, Flint, Lady Jaye, Jinx and Firefly are brought into the mix for the highly anticipated new big screen 3D mission.

As seen at the conclusion of the last film, while in disguise Zartan has assumed the role of the President of the United States. We pick up in Retaliation with team Joe being taken out by the armed forces in a secret attack, and left in shambles. With the country under the control of Cobra Commander, Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) leads a special elite team along with the original Joe (Bruce Willis) to not only battle their sworn enemy, but bring the back government out from their control as well.

Directed by John M. Chu and set to hit theaters on March 27th in 3D, G.I. Joe Retaliation stars Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock), D.J. Cotrona (Flint), Adrianne Palicki (Lady Jaye), Ray Stevenson (Firefly), Channing Tatum (Duke), RZA (Blind Master), Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow), Elodie Yung (Jinx), Bruce Willis (Joe Colton), Ray Park (Snake Eyes) and Arnold Vosloo (Zartan).
