Lothar, the monstrous henchman, was a representation of a real life actor in the late 30's early 40's, Rondo Hatton. Rondo was a handsome athlete in college but then he came down with Acromegaly, a form of gigantism. Rondo is most famous for his role as The Creeper in The Pearl of Death, a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movie. Everyone with acromegaly becomes disfigured in the same way.

I consider this movie to be part of the MCU. Taking place a few years before Captain America The First Avenger. It works GREAT. Not only is Joe Johnston also the director of Captain America TFA, but if you imagine Howard Stark and Howard Hughes as rival inventors of aviation technologies, with Hughes inventing jet propulsion, while Howard Stark invented repulsor technology, it adds like an interesting backstory to both of the Howards. And of course Howard Stark is based on Howard Hughes to begin with, so making the two rivals makes perfect sense. And then you can imagine The Rocketeer as being the first superhero, and you can imagine that he worked with the SSR The Strategic Scientific Reserve (The precursor to SHIELD), so that Howard Stark and the Rocketeer actually worked together, and after Captain America went into the ice and Howard Stark founded Shield, perhaps Howard and Peggy Carter went and teamed up with The Rocketeer again because they didn't have a superhero to work with anymore, and they needed someone. So then maybe you can imagine that a young Tony Stark grew up listening to his dad's stories about The Rocketeer, and maybe Tony even met Cliff Secord and Jenny few couple times when he was young, and witnessed The Rocketeer in action on videos or whatever. So when it came time to become Iron Man how did he design his helmet? A noseless, mouthless gleaming golden face, with a red body to mimic The Rocketeer's red leather jacket. So that then retroactively turns The Rocketeer into basically the original Iron Man. And of course both of them are Disney movies. And Tony Stark eventually creates the first technological Spider-Man costume for Spider-Man, and instead of the JARVIS AI controlling Spider-Man's spidersuit it's KAREN (AKA "Suit Lady") who is playing by Connolly. Because maybe Tony Stark actually met Jenny alongside The Rocketeer when he was a kid/teen. And let me tell you something that's a cold hard fact: any boy who lays eyes on young Jennifer Connelly is never going to forget her for the rest of his life. So Tony Stark creating Karen as a tribute to Jenny, based off her voice and personality, would make PERFECT sense as something he would do as a gift to his teenage friend. With really just a couple little jumps of imagination, this movie can serve as a backstory for Tony Stark, Iron Man, Howard Stark, the SSR, SHIELD, and Spider-Man's spidersuit. And it all fits in perfectly. And actually there are several movies that I consider part of the MCU that aren't actually part of the MCU. The Indiana Jones movies are more, because Captain America TFA straight-up dieectly references the events of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Last Crusade, and Dial Of Destiny, with the Red Skull mocking Hitler for wasting time in the desert digging for magic treasures. So, in that way, you can imagine that while Indiana Jones is running around the desert fighting Nazis to keep them from getting their hands on the Ark, and the Holy Grail, and the Dial Of Destiny, etc, back in America The Rocketeer is ALSO battling Nazis, all before World War II actually breaks out and Captain America is created. In fact, this movie would be taking place at the same time as Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, in 1938.

Some trivia: - Timothy Dalton plays a fictionalised version of Errol Flynn in this film. Flynn was allegedly a real life Nazi sympathiser and possibly spy. - The duelling scene is based on that from The Adventures of Robin Hood where Robin Hood (Flynn) duels The Sheriff of Nottingham (Basil Rathbone). - The stabbing incident in The Rocketeer actually occurred in real life during the filming of The Adventures of Robin Hood, although it was Flynn who was stabbed by accident during a swordfight as the director had decided to use un-blunted swords for realism. - The original Rocketeer inspired the Marvel superhero, Torpedo, who has a very similar origin story

The Rocketeer is inspired by the Republic movie serials King of the Rocket Men (1949), Radar Men from the Moon (1952) and Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952 with Leonard Nimoy in a supporting role as a Martian). The name and background of the character changed with each serial. In Radar Men he was called Commando Cody, later adapted as a TV series, Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe (1953-55). All three serials are available on KZitem.

Other movies with Timothy Dalton: I love Flash Gordon, where he has a minor role, but it's very silly camp so not for everyone (great soundtrack). And I guess there's Brenda Starr, another campy comic strip movie, though it's not iconic like Flash Gordon. He also has a small role in The Lion in Winter, which is a pretty great historical drama, but maybe not the best for the channel. Sadly, he's an actor who was kind of underutilised by Hollywood. He's had some good turns on TV though (Penny Dreadful, Doom Patrol).

First... Timothy Dalton as best Bond? I knew I loved you, Jen! 😆♥ Second... the actor who plays Lenny (the gangster driver at the start who gets killed in the hospital) is Max Grodénchik. When/if you watch Star Trek: DS9 (I truly hope you do) he plays one of the supporting characters. DS9 has an amazing supporting cast of regulars. I don't know if you've seen Sister Act, but he's the limo driver at the start of that film too. Third... so that's why you love the clarinet so much. Awesome! Wrong era for you. I'm a huuuuuge Benny Goodman fan. ♥ Fourth... the model that Cliff glided out of Howard's hangar is the Hughes H-4 Hercules. It was pejoratively referred to by the media and public as the "Spruce Goose". It was the largest wingspan ever built and until the Stratolaunch flew in 2019 it held that record.

Fiiiiiinally, the Rocketeer... you can literally count the number of people who've reacted to this movie on YT on half a hand... Which is a shame since its a damn fine movie, and one of the first good comic book movies from the weird hit and miss period in the 90s years before Blade and Spiderman came out. A period in comic book movies where none of them really work, like Dick Tracey, The Shadow, The Phantom etc... all except the Rocketeer, which worked. That period of movies doesn't get the recognition it deserves especially given the last 10 years with the MCU and DCU. They paved the way for the future even though it stalled almost as soon as it started... this time.

The Rocketeer graphic novels are great. Unfortunately Disney doesn't really respect the core concepts of the IP. Namely 1930's-50's "retrofuturism" which is basically what the people in the past thought the future would be like and the influences of early 1900 adventure stories. In order to do these things the IP is a period piece. The only real adaptions we have had of the franchise is a cartoon made for small children from Disney and a rumored sequel to the movie set in the modern day.

I love this movie! I saw The Rocketeer in 70mm IMAX in 1991. At the beginning when the Hanger doors open it was amazing in IMAX. The Rocketeer is why Marvel chose Joe Johnson to direct the First Captain America movie.

*The choice in props was great.* It has a mix of 1900s to 1930s cars depending on the income of the people driving them. Choosing the the autogyro (1934's It Happened One Night) as the save. And I'm glad Disney allowed the violence associated with gangsters and Nazis. It wasn't gratuitous but enough to let kids know not to glorify these bad guys. (As opposed to today where Disney glorifies stormtroopers at their theme parks.)

I think it flew under the radar for many different kinds of audience simply because it was for younger audiences or families, being a Disney/Touchstone production. It's star studded in the age of mass marketing campaigns in franchise this and franchise that, product placing all the way in the 1990s but being more coy in the actual film, to keep the adults happy. The opening scenes with the orchestral overture is a direct reference to 1983's "The Right Stuff"; Chuck Yeager (Test Pilot) chewed Beeman's, too. The long term will prove this one of the "classic Disney" cult hits despite the lower ratings that polls give it. There are much worse films far more loved.

This past September may have seen the end of the air races: the City of Reno kicked them out of Stead Field, so that developers can build up the surrounding land...bastards! They're in the process of searching for a new location, but as of now, even the best ones they've found are lacking support facilities (adequate hotel space, a nearby trauma center, etc.). They plan on starting up at a new location in a few years, but - I dunno...

The Reno races were not ended to develop the land. That was just the plan implemented after the races were ending anyway. They were on the ropes for over a decade after a plane went into the crowd. There were accidents on a regular basis and the insurance was getting too high. The association announced that last year would be the end. And the final race year was marked by another fatal crash cutting the event short.

@@mikearmstrong8483 Nope, The land surrounding Stead Field has been getting more & more crowded in the last 15 years. When the city decided to take one of the fields used for spectator parking and build a giant warehouse on it, everybody knew the days were numbered - the crash of The Galloping Ghost & the ensuing lawsuits were just the excuse to actually start the process. There have always been crashes at the air races, just never one involving spectators.
