Rocket Man



I posted that kickass clip in case anyone was wondering about my new avatar (because it's clearly the talk of the town.) There are 3 Rocket Man cliffhanger serials - King of the Rocket Men, Radar Men From the Moon and Zombies of the Stratosphere. All of them rule equally.

I love the high tech control dials on his chest - up/down, fast/slow, on/off.

Isn't that pretty much how the controls on airplanes look?

I love how abstract the features on his helmet are, it's like one of The Wall kids all grown up.

As much as I mock, it's pretty great what they were able to achieve with a model guy on a long wire. His flight so close to the background hills and the way they edit it make it look pretty convincing.

That's awesome! The flying sequences are a bit more convincing than the old George Reeves Adventures of Superman series. I love the "robot".
