I just watched this film again its been 15 years since I had seen it.I like it very much a well done Film too bad it bombed at the box office.any other fans?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Big fan of this one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. Campbell looks EXACTLY like Dave Stevens character, and does a great job. Arkin, Dalton and Connely are great too. And man, was she gorgeous back then. Still pretty now, but I liked her when she had some meat on her.

I watched it with my son a while back and he really liked it. It deserved to be a big success.

Hmmmm....

It's not bad. I was a BIG fan of the comic, and the film was a decent go of it. I think had it come out a few years later, during the late 90's steampunk wave, it would have done better.

I was a big fan of the comic and was surpised it was so well done on screen. I have loved this film since i saw it in the theater. bought it on VHS and laserdisc back then.

great castings and dialog.
Cliff "How do I look" peavey " like a hood ornament" classic
Dalton as an evil erol flynn type "it wasn't lies it was acting"

[Captain]

Big fan. Loved the comic, and was glad to see the film stayed as close as it possibly could, substituting Hughes for Doc Savage, and so forth.

I miss Beemans gum too. It was revived due to the film, but didnt last very long...at least in Canada.

It was a great film, I watched it on TV not long ago. Holds up well. Dunno why it didn't do well, I think it came on the heels of the Dick Tracy stinker from Disney.
I was always disappointed they didn't do real action figures from it. I have the trading card set, couple odds & ends...they still show up pretty cheap. We still have a Rocketeer beach towel that the kids use from time to time!

I have never seen the movie, would like to.

This is one of the gifts I brought over for my girlfriend. Not an action figure but...thought you might like to see it. (Unfortunately the seller sent it to me in a paper envelope and the bubble cracked, sigh.)

I should see it sometime----I really like his "taste" in putting together a movie.

Great pedigree working on the classics too.

(Gotta love wikipedia!)

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

Loved the movie. Not sure why it gets such a bad rep though. They even harpooned it on Family Guy once. I wish I could afford the 12" figure Medicom released recently.

And man, was she gorgeous back then. Still pretty now, but I liked her when she had some meat on her.

Totally agree on both counts. I found Jennifer staggeringly hot during that time period.

Absolutely A favorite of mine love The Comic and Film and Got to meet Dave years ago Great Guy. I was disappointed when Action figures were not made at the time. Also the Dvd didn't have any extras which was disappointing.

This movie is the reason I think Captain America is in good hands, the guy gets the period.

[bleit1701]

It's a fun movie for sure. Great cast. Holds up well too.

I love that figure Kingdom Warrior and have thought of getting one just because I like the look of him so much.
