Kane Richmond, Marguerite Chapman, Ralph Byrd,
Reid Hadley,
Judd Holdren, Paul Kelly and Sheila Darcy.
Some direction by serial greats William Witney and Spencer
Bennet. The program consists of complete, single chapters from
eight different actual vintage action serial movies. A fantastic
sampling of rock 'em, sock 'em action with complete single chapters
from 8 different vintage adventure serials, including The Secret
Code, Zorro's Fighting Legion,
Dick Tracy's G-Men, Spy Smasher, Flash Gordon
and Captain Video, all digitally re-mastered for crystal
clarity of visuals and sound. The adventure serial was a film genre
unto itself, a staple of the movie-viewing experience up until the
1950s. That approach to film making is long-gone, but through the
miracle of digital technology, we can still enjoy many of the greats
that have survived the years. This compilation DVD allows viewers to
sample some of the best — from masked and costumed heroes like
Spy Smasher and the Black Commando (from The
Secret Code), to futuristic science fiction with Captain
Video and Flash Gordon, the romance of the Old West with
Zorro, to gang busting crime story action with Dick Tracy.
Jean Evans (Phyllis Coates), the beautiful photographer whom the
natives call THE PANTHER GIRL OF THE KONGO, encounters a fiendish
plot by diamond smugglers in Africa. A renegade scientist (Arthur
Space) develops a fantastic growth hormone to create gigantic CLAW
MONSTERS that keep both natives and the authorities busy while his
men loot diamond mines. With the aid of white hunter Larry Saunders
(Myron Healey), Panther Girl combats giant crayfish, a savage
gorilla, slithering crocodiles, blazing guns, deadly explosions and
life-threatening perils. Phyllis Coates is fondly remembered as TV's
first Lois Lane in ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. Myron Healey, who usually
portrays the bad guy, gets a chance to show his prowess as a hero in
this cliffhanger, one of the last produced by Republic in 1952. This
is a standard, all-regions DVD, playable on any standard DVD player.
Running time is approximately 166 minutes.
