2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing DVD of a Classic SF Series, December 28, 2004

Oldies.com has been releasing the Rocky Jones series (classic SF from the 50s) on DVD--admittedly, only in the compilation versions rather than the TV episodes they originally were, but still, they've been releasing them.

This particular serial is one of the more entertaining ones, but to look at it, absolutely no quality control was performed. The video looks as though it was transferred directly from VHS (including frequent interference patterns when the picture brightens during the many explosions), the sound quality is uneven, and it's just a disappointment.

Here's hoping other Rocky Jones releases will be better-done; this one was disappointing in the extreme.

I was a big fan of the "Rocky Jones - Space Ranger" serials as a kid. I watched them religiously on Saturday mornings. They were the epitome of campy sci-fi. They had cheesy special efects, and the "science" was mostly wrong, but who cares. They were and are a lot of fun, and the moral is "Be a good person and one day you'll be a space ranger."

This review is from: Rocky Jones, Space Ranger - The Gypsy Moon (plus Bonus Episode Kip's Private War) (DVD)

From the dawn of modern television comes Rocky Jones! Rocky, with his supporting cast of characters, must stop cute queen beeyotch Cleolanta from destroying the inhabited Gypsy Moon. Seems the moon, run by the guy who played Sgt. Schultz sans moustache, is about to collide with Cleo's planet Ophecious, and she ain't havin none of that, sister! Well, the moon can't be blown up, so now her planet has to be evacuted too. Definitely see where the other reviewers draw the "Lost in Space" comparisons from. Saw this as part of the Tree Line 50 Sci-Fi Film pack, and it's not too bad. The effects are cheesy, but what do you expect? CGI? There's also another Rocky Jones movie cobbled from the show with Cleolanta as the villain included with the set. Something about a moon of Jupiter shooting meteors at the Earth. OK, so what are you waiting for? A little over twenty bucks here on Amazon for 50 movies? C'mon, get to it.
