Storm Shadow: (to Snake-Eyes) I did not kill our master...
- During the tour of The Pit, Hawk tells new recruits that "knowing is half the battle." The same line was used in public service announcements at the end of the G.I. Joe (1985) animated series.
- Sam Worthington was considered for the role of Duke, but turned it down due scheduling conflicts with Avatar (2009).
- In the scene where the Nanobot kills the President's secret service members, they show he has the Nanomites behind his ear. They form the Cobra symbol from G.I. Joe (1985).
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt joined the cast when he was shown the mask he would wear as Cobra Commander.
- The Eiffel Tower is destroyed with the Nanomites by Cobra. In the miniseries G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1983), Cobra uses the MASS Device to make the Tower disappear.
