| Considered by many to be the finest serial ever made, THE ADVENTUERS OF CAPTAIN MARVEL chronicles the exploits of "The World's Might iest Mortal" as he combats the Scorpion, a hooded villain intent on obtaining six optical lenses that, when aligned properly, turn o rdinary stones into gold! Highlighting the serial were the fabulous flying sequences by Republic's ace special effects team, Howard and Theodore Lydecker. Combining a wired dummy photographed against real backgrounds in natural sunlight, with spectacular take-of f leaps and landings supplied by action ace, David Sharpe, the final effects are still as fascinating today as they were in 1941. T HE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL marked the very first time a comic book superhero's exploits were transferred to the silver screen, and the resulting 12 chapters have yet to be equalled for excitment and entertainment. |
