I've seen this film and Radar Patrol vs. Spy King (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042873/ another production similar to this one) recommended by imdb for a lot of movie these last weeks (with no direct link, maybe only of the same genre) and have to ask myself why?
Did imdb change it's recommendation algorithm?
Does anyone else think this or is it my strange imagination?
Yeah, I've noticed this too. This along with some movie called Federal Agents vs. Underworld, Inc. is recommended a lot.
shareI've just seen it recommended for Penn & Teller: Bull$hit! a show that has absolutely no connection with this one.
Are the actors and directors from 1949 haunting the servers and trying to send us a message or what?

It's been easily one of the most creative ideas to come up with as far as comments are concerned. A funny one as well.
Radar Patrol vs. Spy King and Federal Agents vs. Underworld, Inc. are two more cliffhanger serials made by Republic Pictures company. They made 66 of them, most being 12 or 15 chapters each.
lol i just stumbled on this movie cuz of a recommendation

I can't say whether this is relevant to the IMDB recommendations, but such calculations often invoke "collaborative filtering" algorithms. This technique weights each individual who rates movies, and evaluates general patterns. Broadly speaking, it can be observed, for example, that people who like movies "A" and "B" also tend to like movie "C". Collaborative filtering is a mechanical analysis that doesn't inherently reflect genres; it just tries to discern trends. So maybe it decides that people who enjoyed Titanic will be favorably inclined towards Jackass, even if those two movies seem completely unconnected. It will tend to be statistically less accurate with respect to movies that relatively few people have rated. This is to be expected, since the samples may be too sparse to establish a pattern.

I think we're on to something big here, fellas! Some kind of weird code that connects all these films to this one! :D
Also, have you ever tried following reccomendations from KotRM? You'll always come back to the same bunch of films. There is no way out!

I'm recomended this movie every 6th or 7th movie I check out... it's spooky.

-"In 300 years, when Evil returns... so shall WE!"
http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=39778071
I linked to it from an obscure '49 noir called "Bodyguard". Well, the 1949 connection makes obvious sense, but weren't there an awful LOT of movies made that year?
Go figger.
Me again! Just got here from "1408".
Figure THAT one out.
-"In 300 years, when Evil returns... so shall WE!"

I'm just posting here joining the long list of people who see this movie recommended A LOT.
So I guess what I'm saying is, IMDB fix your recommendation algorithm!

*beep* it Dude, let's go bowling.
I found the recommendation in Bozo Miller's underwear so I bought a copy and now I finally know bliss.
Sacred cows make delicious hamburgers.
I have always wondered about the same thing. I came here in a round about way from the Movie Wall Street II. Go figure. But then IMDB has always had strange Recommendations for their movies.
Q: How does Soylent Soda taste?
A: It varies from person to person.
"Futurama"
Came here from Taxi, Luc Besson 1998 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152930/
No idea why it links, even though I do love it, ever since watching Commando Cody on TV in the mid 50's.
Computers, go figure!
