Plot hole: The super warriors that are given the venom are supposed to be fearless and without self preservation. However, during the scene in the Sahara base when they are helping to get the warheads back from the Joes, one of those men screams out in fear as he falls down the shaft, which makes no sense as the one guy did not scream in frustration when he was bitten earlier by the deadly snake and knew he would die.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ray Park
Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) destroys the missile before it hits Washington D.C. and gets arrested after parachuting down. Snake Eyes (Ray Park) kills Storm Shadow. Rex (Joseph Gordon Levitt) dons a new mask, calls himself Commander, and injects McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) with nanomites to control him. The nanomites also heal McCullen and his face becomes metallic; Rex calls him Destro. Duke (Channing Tatum) and bunch of Joe submarines surround the submarine with Rex and McCullen and later they are both imprisoned. Ripcord and Duke join G.I. Joe. Ana/Baroness goes to prison and Duke promises that he'll find a way to get rid of the nanotechnology that's inside her (injected into her by her brother Rex). The President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce) was replaced by Zartan (Arnold Vosloo)(who was injected with nanotech earlier in the movie) when the President entered the bunker. The last scene is Zartan as the President sitting in the Oval Office and whistling "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"...

Breaker: Thousands of miles across and ten stories thick, locating McCullen's base will be like finding a needle in a coal mine.
Ripcord: Haystack.
Breaker: Oh, right. Haystack in a coal mine.
Trivia: In the scene where Ripcord and Duke are in the transport and Ripcord pats Heavy Duty on the back and gets his arm twisted as a result, Ripcord makes a crack about Heavy Duty having a "Kung Fu Grip". This refers to some of the earliest G.I. Joe's action figures who were advertised to have the Kung Fu Grip.
Question: Why would Rex, a US soldier who fought to protect his country, turn traitor and decide to become a man who wanted world domination?

Answer: He was left for dead by his own comrades, badly injured by an airstrike that they called down on his location. He would likely say that his country turned against him, not that he turned on them.
