I eventually bought the first series, King of the Rocket Men off eBay, as a boot. I don't know if it ever had a legit release. In it, however, Professor Millard works with Jeff King (Rocket Man) to make a prototype jet-pack. They are trying to stop Dr. Vulcan and a group of scientist from taking over the world with their Sonic Decimator (sounds like something out of Calvin & Hobbs). At any rate, it is what it is, and enjoyable on some level. <br /><br />I didn't know that about Boba Fett. I have a friend that created a web comic strip modeled after Commando Cody called Captain Spectre: http://www.captainspectre.com/ El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-16853040544887441832015-01-28T17:40:11.794-08:002015-01-28T17:40:11.794-08:00Cody is blast to watch.

Not only did he inspire the Rocketeer (which makes me immediately think of how super hot Jennifer Connelly is in that movie), but he was also the inspiration for Boba Fett of "Star Wars" fame. Lucas even included a character in the prequels named Commander Cody for a chuckle or two.<br /><br />Yeah the coffins looks very snuggly in this film. Very plush and comfortable. I'm sure the doctor and his wife slept very well. :)Roman J.

I wanted one of those rocket packs. Maybe I still do. The character was, of course, the inspiration for Disney's 1991 The Rocketeer. <br /><br />Odds are that I saw The Corpse Vanishes, also as a kid, but I remember nothing about it. I do remember Bride of the Monster. Sounds fun, even if the 'bots had not yet hit their stride. Doesn't everyone sleep in coffins? They're comfy. They're also a great time saver in case ... you know.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.com
