The Masked Marvel is the reason I fell in love with Cliffhangers and serials in the first place. It all started when I was a kid and looking for something to watch at the video store. I figured something that had a cool cover liked the two tape edition and was also two tapes (therefore) long was a good value for my rental money.I feel in love with it and watched the whole thing in my initial rental. Later my parents bought me a copy. I'd watch it every summer before we'd go on vacation since I would wake up really early (before anyone else did) and I couldn't fall back to sleep. So much great action (especially the dolls getting tossed off things).
Oh I also thought Johnny Arthur was Japanese lol In fairness the character of Sakima is played very non-stereotyped. lol
