austenandrews Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? The only guilty part for me is that the evil cultists worship some form of the god Bast and have these kind of cute kitties sewn on their robes. Were they still alive?

pinecone Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? My memory is faded and I've got no google but I think it's Phantom Empire hands down. Every episode' date=' no matter what happens, Gene has to get back to the real world to sing a song on the local radio station or he loses his ranch. What a plot line.[/quote'] I remember that one fondly as well... I guess thats why I once set a Call of Cthulu game on a dude ranch in Oklahoma...

Redmenace Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? Were they still alive? In a way it might have been less disturbing if they had been... As is there is a kind of Hello Kitty/Cthulhu cult kind of vibe, so I guess maybe it does kind of work.

austenandrews Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? http://www.filmposters.com/images/posters/10862.jpg That is curiously disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyre-Archer Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? I have somewhere an old VHS of a Green Hornet serial, with Keye Luke as Kato. Fun stuff, with a neat twist on the criminal mastermind at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrito Boy Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? I just watched Tailspin Tommy. 12 thrilling chapters of bad acting, cheesy dialogue, goofy fight scenes, and "some of the most remarkable stunt flying ever filmed." It wasn't great but I enjoyed it, especially watching Patricia Farr as Betty Lou Barnes. Betty Lou isn't the typical pulp female who stands around just looking pretty - she jumps out of a plane for the heck of it, jumps out of another plane because it's on fire, shoots at sky raiders with a pistol, and helps Tommy in a scrap. And she looks pretty. They don't make 'em like they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharis2000 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? Lord, so many choices. I'd go with Captain Marvel, Spysmasher, The Fighting Devil Dogs (flying wings, lightning torpedoes, and a villain whose costume design inspired Skymaster in 'Masterminds and Madmen'), Mysterious Dr. Satan, Nyoka the Jungle Girl, Nyoka and the Tiger Men, The Phantom, any of the Flash Gordons, Buck Rogers, Secret Agent X-9 Captain Midnight... heck, it might be easier to list the ones I *haven't* liked.

RexMundi Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? I miss Serials. One of the great things about being stuck with AFN for a TV station most of my life was they would run them all. They would do the radio drama's as well. *sigh* Now, you get brain dead reformatted trash.....and my friends wonder why I haven't had a TV in 3 years, heh. ~Rex....

Mister E Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? a lot of them are now out of copyright and can be downloaded fromarchive.org/ here is some Flash Gordon for example I know this is a 'movie' thread, but here's some old-time radio episodes of Flash Gordon. I find radio both more distracting and more immersive... http://www.otr.net/?p=flsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratio Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Re: The Great Movie Serials: any favorites? In the "Zombies of the Stratosphere" clip - What on earth was that 'tankette'? It's like a small Carden-Lloyd tracked carrier - you know, those thigs that became bren-carriers, and the Brit & Italian light tanks of early WWII... I WANT ONE!!!!!!
