The second video in the series delivers a more satisfying discovery than the previous video (which you can see below)
The Rocketeer (1991) is one of the great mysteries in filmmaking in that it delivers all the elements that make a feelgood movie.
Solid cast made up of a mix of big screen legends and up and coming names.
A promising source material.
A tightly constructed script.
Impressive practical effects from en era before visual effects would become a standard feature in movies.
A hero’s journey.
Yet audiences didn’t show up for it.
Like with Remo Williams, this movie was intended to be the beginning of a cinematic universe. In the video below I explain why Remo Williams was a little ahead of its time in trying to establish a cinematic universe.
Watch my video to see what you missed the first time out, and then check out with the second chance that video streaming has given us.
Thank you for watching! Share this post with someone who needs to see this forgotten gem.
