The trouble is, it makes me look like a hood ornament....

Sigh. I'm starting to think no one else even SAW the movie....



Ahhh, "Rocket Man" ?


Goes back even further than the movie. It was a serial in the
50s on television.

That is the one I was thinking about, but I got the name wrong.

I liked it OK; kinda' brainless fluff, but sometimes that's where my head is at!

From imdb.com:

"1949's "King of the Rocket Men" was the first of three serials from Republic Pictures featuring a man wearing essentially the same rocket suit and helmet. The other two, both released in 1952, were "Radar Men From the Moon" and "Zombies of the Stratosphere."

But the best part, is this comment, also on imdb:

"The third serial, "Zombies," while not remade, is probably the best remembered since it marked the science-fiction feature film acting debut of Leonard Nimoy (later, Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame) playing Narab, a Martian zombie."

This I remember seeing sometime in the past few years. I think it was part
of a retrospective of Nimoy and/or Star Trek actors.

"Rocketeer" came, went and was forgotten. Maybe unjustly so.
