At TFNation 2024, during the Mapes Tapes panel, we recreated the Death of Duke as well as playing his funeral scene audio as they were both originally intended by the writer of the movie, Buzz Dixon. In this video, introduced by Buzz, you'll learn more about what went on, why the scene was changed and will be able to hear Duke's funeral scene that was not animated. This "lost media" uses the original studio recording from G.I. Joe: The Movie and as been made public thanks to the work of Steve and Dave Mapes.
You can view view the video on YouTube but for regions where it's restricted you can watch it below.
You can find more details on other audio that the Mapes brothers have released here
