Paramount's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" hits the blu-ray and dvd home video market on July 30th, 2013. We know from previously disclosed info that the release will include special features such as commentary from direction Jon M. Chu, a pre-production featurette, in-depth behind the scenes analysis of key moments and battles and of course, deleted scenes. However, we now know exactly what those deleted scenes will include which features a lot of scenes shown in the many trailers and tv spots that weren't actually in the film.
- The Bar Room Scene - Shown very heavily during the film's marketing, this scene was nowhere to be found. Reportedly the Joe's teach D.J. Cotrona's Flint a lesson.
- Extended Sequence of Jinx and Snake Eyes - The early training sequence between Jinx and Snake Eyes is apparently much longer and includes greater background information on Jinx.
- G.I. Joe in Pakistan - This scene focuses on Flint displaying combat prowess while on a mission.
- The President's Son - Apparently the President, whom was replaced by Zartan has a son. This scene is said to have a humorous moment when they interact.
- Cobra Commander escape - An extended cut of Cobra Commander's escape thanks to Firefly and Storm Shadow.
- Storm Shadow healing sequence - Additional footage of the mystic healing of Storm Shadow's wounds from the first G.I. Joe film.
- Injured Roadblock - Lady Jaye tends to Roadblock's wounds after his first fight with Firefly. During which, Roadblock and Flint get into an argument.
- The UN Summit and Cobra's Arrival - More elaborate arrival for Cobra Commander's Un Summit takeover.
- Combat in the Tunnels - The 'Old Joes' get more screen time in the fight with Cobra.
- Jinx Rescue - Jinx fighting in the tunnels below Fort Sumter and getting into trouble before being rescued by Snake Eyes.
- Storm Shadow vs. President Zartan - A mysterious third party appears to "complicates the fight". Interesting...
- Snake Eyes and Jinx - An alternate ending where Snake Eyes and Jinx reconcile.
