By the way, I see that both TARZAN AND THE GREEN GODDESS and NEW ADVENTURES OF TARZAN are on Netflix Streaming till early October. Both are listed at 70 minutes.

Now I have to make up my mind if THE NEW ADVENTURES OF TARZAN should go on my serials shelf, or my Tarzan shelf!

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the feature version of THE LOST JUNGLE. I watched it a few months back and was amazed to see that about half of it was composed of footage not in the serial. The plot is also quite different and t...

I agree. I'll often watch one or two chapters a night when I'm in a serial mood.

Does anyone have screencaps of the title cards for some of the features? Like SATANS SATILLITES! Somewhere around here I've got an old Super 8 copy of the trailer for SATAN'S SATELLITES. (Which, I know, probably doesn't do you any good.) Somet...

It's worth noting that a lot of serial features seem to be appearing in Netflix. Not source of the source or quality, but they seem to be Republic ones.

The only feature I'm aware of that was made from THE GREEN HORNET was by Films Inc. in the 80s. My bad, Athol; it was done for video in 1990. (Unlike the two theatrical features cut from the first two FLASH GORDON serials back in the day, although ...

Jacque Lecotier Thanks for mentioning the six-chapter versions. I was wondering if my memory had been playing tricks after nearly sixty years, but I remember seeing several of the Republic serials in six chapter versions back in the fifties. I also...

VCI has recently released a feature film version of THE GREEN HORNET serial to DVD, but it's not the original feature that Universal released back in the day. Instead, to tie in with the new film, they have cut together a new two-hour feature from t...

My initial exposure to cliffhangers came via the feature-length versions of a number of Republic serials done for theatrical release or done for TV as part of the "Century 66" package, digests of which were released for the 8mm/Super 8 market. ...
