An Original 1952 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Danish Movie Program (measures 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" [12 x 16 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) King of the Rocket Men, the 1949 Fred Brannon science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters"; "Power-packed Adventure!"; "There's never been such action... such suspense.. such dynamite-charged excitement in Any serial!"; about a group of atomic scientists who suspect a traitor in their midst, so one of the scientists becomes a super hero Rocket Man, and works on exposing the evil "Dr. Vulcan", who has a device that can cause an earthquake, and when the Mayor of New York City refuses to pay a billion dollar ransom, the device is used, and there is an earthquake and massive tsunami in New York City's harbor, which was done by reusing footage from Republic's earlier 1939 disaster movie, "S.O.S. Tidal Wave"!) starring Tristram Coffin (in the title role as Jeff King), Mae Clarke, House Peters Jr., Don Haggerty, I. Stanford Jolley (as Dr. Vulcan), and James Craven. Note that in 1951, this movie was massively edited into the Republic feature film "Lost Planet Airmen", and because it was made two years later, and because it was so condensed that entire characters were lost and major plot elements were eliminated, many collectors see it as a re-edited separate movie, and not as a feature version of a serial, so we list "Lost Planet Airmen" as a separate title, but we don't argue with anyone who sees it as the "feature version" of this serial. Note that in 1966, an entirely different feature version of "King of the Rocket Men" was created for TV distribution. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that apparently this feature movie was split into two different parts when it played in Denmark in 1952 (perhaps they showed them at Saturday matinees there), or the serial version was combined into a total of two parts, because the cover of this program references Part II. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have pictured the front and back covers and an interior 2-page spread from this program.
