G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987)

It's hilariously good fun from the very beginning. That song!
The Joes decide to solve the world energy crisis before breakfast, but Cobra throws a big NO shaped spanner in that idea and the madness just gets madder. New recruits get bombed on the training ground. The Village People go to war. Explosions explode and lasers fire everywhere, but no one gets hit. Sgt. Slaughter keeps the faith for America and gets to wrestle. Subterranean reptilian people try to take over the world. Giant bugs are the air force? WTF is even happening? It's like The A-Team on acid. I laughed my way to the end and loved every minute of it.

The way you describe it makes it sound like a Michael Bay movie without the tits and ass.
