    In Zombies of the Stratosphere, invaders come to Earth to create an H-bomb to blast Earth out of orbit so that Mars can take its place. With Rocket men and Hot Water Heater Robots, and miniature effects by the Lydecker Brothers, Zombies of the Stratosphere is among the last of the Republic Serials produced. Watch for Leonard Nimoy, in his first movie role!

    It is so cool how if your car is about to crash you can just jump out, most times you will not even lose your hat.

    But times were obviously very different : There's a guy with a jet pack that can fly very high and very fast and he still wears elegant pants and dress shoes to fly into action...At least I hope he kept his shoes properly polished 😄😄

    Have to say, Aline Towne was a lot more fun in The Invisible Monster. Here she is two years later, and in the whole three hours she doesn't bail out of a speeding automobile once, nor venture into a single abandoned mine. She does have a bit of a scuffle with a walking postbox around 1:21:25, which at least is something, but aside from that, office work clearly wasn't what it used to be.

    I always wondered why Republic put slightly misleading titles on some of these serials. "Zombie" implies an animated corpse, and the villains of this serial come from Mars, far above our stratosphere. Anyway, this one is typical of early 50s Republic fare - cheap, cheesy, and a lot of fun to watch. As the studio's fortunes fell into decline after WWII and the advent of broadcast television, so did the quality of their serials. But no matter how many times I watch an old Republic serial (I've watched a number of them several times) they never fail to entertain.

    • @chrisreadman9426
      @chrisreadman9426 11 месяцев назад +3

      Zombie also implies sleepwalker, or someone reduced to their base motor functions or some primitive state of being. Also in metaphor as ghoulish reminders, or nagging consciences. The ongoing Scare rhetoric was potent in 1952. The alien other became the carriers of subversive ideals, or symbolic of the destruction of American patriotism and Freedom. In a lot of things from this period 'zombie' can be read as 'subversive', and the inevitable destructive threat their arrival would manifest. I haven't watched this yet so I don't know if it has any relevance here, but it's the thing a lot of the time.

    • @michaelbauers8800
      @michaelbauers8800 3 месяца назад

      That was deep. But I can see how this might be true, given the cold war paranoia of the 50s. And 60s. And...@@chrisreadman9426
