Despite the big deal that they made about him being a new character, he didn't really do anything to warrant the hype. In pretty much each and every episode, he got his ass handed to him by the soon-to-be Lone Ranger. For the hype that they gave him, you'd think they'd at least give him a winning record.
LOL!!!
Forgotten Hero's right! The only thing he really did was fly around. The best thing about RMFTM is that it was the seed that brought us "The Rocketeer"... A way fun & great film.
I picked up a huge box set of movie serials... This is the 2nd one I've watched, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe being the first one I've seen. Flash Gordon, equally cheesy as Radar Men, was much more engrossing and entertaining.
The Box I got is called Sci-Fi Serials from St. Clair Vision. A 6 disc set for $5 at Big Lots. These guys really cleaned up the picture and sound. These Serials look great!
Music Trivia: Does anyone remember Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen?
One hit wonder... 1971... Hot Rod Lincoln?

My, you're nosey, aren't you?
We've met before, remember? I, too, enjoy old serials and I have a dvd of "King of the Rocket Men" which I paid much more than you did for yer boxed set. I also have "The Shadow" with Victory Jory, "Fighting Devil Dogs" which was a major influence on the creation of Darth Vader, and the fabulous "Undersea Kingdom" with Crash Corrigan and Lon Chaney, Jr. that Republic made in middle 1930's and is a huge hoot. Unfortunetly, the town I reside in our Big Lots left cuz they couldn't get a bigger space. I miss them terribly. Your sig I know I've heard somewhere, but so far cannot find. The search goes on. If you'd like to see the ultimate in silliness try and find the movie the Firesign Theater made pieced together out of old serials. Wunderbar!
Qui sitaque stultior me?
Oh hell yeah!
How ya been? Lol! >:o)

I R OK. I keep changing my handle cuz the next one's always the best. The last time we met I was either "Yodzingie" or "Bathwater of the Gods" maybe even 'messpile' though that's probably too far back. I used to live in So. Cal. was raised in LA and spent several years in Orange County and San *beep* Now I am in the Great Empty,MT! Semi-retired here with thousands of square miles of scenery, but no Big Lots. Seems like I can't win on that account. Tell me is DizLand still a jernt?
Qui sitaque stultior me?
OK!! BATH!! THAT'S WHAT I KNOW YOU UNDER!!!
All I know bout D-Land is you have to put the house up for mortgage before you can get in, it's SO damn expensive!

It was that way 30 yeers ago which was the last time I went. That Harry Potter thingie in Florida costs $79 a day to get in. INSANE! Hoo can afford that, hoo has better sense? Stupifying!

I've loved this ever since I was a kid in the 60's, and would make the jet pack, controls and helmet out of paper shopping bags. I've always had one question: How is it that Cody didn't fry his ass off every time he flew?
As an adult, I always wondered if they suffered brain injuries form all those concussions?
These guys shoot worse than Star Wars Storm Troopers!
