5.0 out of 5 stars The original Rocketeer is a blast for serial fans, February 11, 2000
By 
This review is from: King of the Rocketmen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Tristram Coffin (in an unusual heroic role) dons a cutting-edge flying suit to become crime-busting Rocket Man. Whenever the power-hungry criminal strikes, the ubiquitous Rocket Man is there. (There's really only ONE Rocket Man in this 1949 serial; his surname happens to be King.) The action is impressively staged: when Rocket Man soars across the skies and leaps into a moving truck, for example, the effect is dazzling. The serial plays like a live-action comic book, and this is one cliffhanger in which the villain actually succeeds in carrying out his master plan (find out for yourself how much he gets away with!). Action fans will get a big kick out of this.

This review is from: King of the Rocketmen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It cost me 19.95 and it was worth it! A uprising plot, great fight scences and oh-yeah Rocketman!Awesome special effects too, Would reccomend to complete strangers on a street corner! And unlike many serials it is not all that long, only about 2 1/2 hours and I can watch it in one afternoon again.. and again.. and again...

3.0 out of 5 stars The Original Rocketeer, September 24, 2000
By 
Paul M. Dellinger (Wytheville, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: King of the Rocketmen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Republic loved to have kings in its movies (Roy Rogers, the king of the cowboys) and serials (King of the Texas Rangers, King of the Forest Rangers, King of the Rocket Men), usually because the serial hero has that last name (as with Rocket Men, Jeff King). Maybe it started when the studio did the serial version of "King of the Royal Mounted." The studio used the same excellent flying effects by the Lydecker brothers that had been used in its earlier "Captain Marvel" serial. Rocket Man's flying suit and jet pack proved such an enduring image that Republic used it again in two unrelated serials ("Radar Men from the Moon" and "Flying Disc Man from Mars," each featuring a different actor and character, not to mention a short-lived "Commando Cody" TV series) -- so much so that the relatively-recent "Rocketeer" movie did it for a new generation. But the original is still the most fun.
