I agree: Epic. I saw tons of Republic serials in 1960s (that time not so "vintage"...). I like a lot that mid-1940s large-brim hats and wider suits. What a style!
I LOVE these old serials... NOTHING TODAY in the movie theaters is as good...or as much fun..
I love them also and agree with you completely about most modern films not being nearly as much fun to watch!
I heard of the MM way back as a kid; used to watch 'Cliff Hangers Theatre' almost every Saturday night right after Creature Features in Omaha (Nebraska) in the 1970s...such great memories!
Oh, I feel sorry for that building in the very first opening scenes. I've seen it blown up in almost every one of the Republic serials.
Gotta love the stock footage!
The Marvel falls off a tower into a burning truck and He's ok ? God I love these Republic serials.
I couldn't fall to the floor and survive.
Not only that but his arm got torn off on the way down!
serial wonderful the best of republic
I love how their hats stay on during the fist fights .😅
The Green Hornet minus Kato! And those hats must be stuck on with superglue 😉! But seriously, I love these old serials. Never saw this one before, but I'm enjoying it!
The legendary stunt man Tom Steele used rubber tubing inside his hats during violent stunts so they'd stay on and the public wouldn't know it wasn't the actual star they saw.
@@leelarson107 Thanks! 😀👍
Love the fight scenes ....They dont fight like that anymore
Yeah, no black eyes, no lost teeth, no blood, no torn clothing.
new to the masked marvel,and just found this. love it! i love most of these old serialized shows from wayyyyyy back.
im also a huge fan of old time radio and movies from the 30's-40's i think i was born in the wrong era lol
Excellent serial from republic. Love the fist fights. Tom Steele was behind the mask of the masked marvel. He never got any credit and his voice was dubbed by another actor. Who? I do not know. Thanks for posting. Tom Steele died in 1990 at the age of 81. Rip Tom Steele.
LOL, those fight scenes hats had to be glued on never fell off.
The reason the hats never fall off dying the action scenes in these old serials is due to continuity issues, if a fight scene need to be edited they didn't need to worry about the hat appearing and disappearing
A nod to this was made during the Indiana Jones movies, you'll notice Indy never loose his hat during a fight.
The way they kept the hats on they actually used large rubber bands and placed in the interior ribbon of the hat. That way the hats almost never fall off.
James Tucker Greatly appreciated innovation. Previously the studios used thumb tacks to keep headgear in place. :-)
The pre-eminent stuntman, Tom Steele, originated the use of rubber tubing inside the hat. That ensured that the audience wouldn't see that a stuntman rather than the actor was doing the fighting. That's a matter of record.
Wow. Absolutely shocked at how good this really is! Loved it. Thanks for posting this fantastic action-packed classic. Would love to see Hollywood do a modern remake of this serial!
cornbreadthedog they couldn't do it without screwing it up
gunny U.S.M.C Sadly, you are correct. Today's studios would definitely find a way to mess this up.
It wouldn't be allowed. Someone is sure to be offended.
Thank you very much for sharing this.
Oh yes reminds me of the good old days whenever I got a flat I would just jump out of the car especially at 60-70 MPH
I do that all the time. No big deal.
Ah the good old days when guns didn't run out of ammo. David Bacon who was one of the actors in this serial was murdered in Santa Monica California, the murder was never solved.
That was in 1943. His fellow cast member Rod Bacon was murdered in 1948. No relation so far as I could find out.
GOLLY WHAT AN EPISODE, WHAT ACTION, WHAT A BABE!
A few things I noticed here...
1. The MM is a dangerous man as people regularly die around him.
2. When the MM takes an right hook, not even a black eye is left on him...lol
3. @1:26:45, Mace had MM at his mercy and didn't shoot him...big mistake.
4. During fight scenes, the MM's hat never leaves his head.
All in all, is was an entertaining watch and thanks for posting. Much appreciated.
The Real Mask Marvel was not credited ,Tom Steel does everything ,his voice was was someone else!
He was a great stunt man and obviously very athletic.
The voice was dubbed by Gayne Whitman.
For some reason this reminds me of the old DC Comics hero, The Sandman.He wore a face/gas mask, wore a suit and tie with a fedora and used a gas gun that put his enemies to sleep with sleeping gas. He fought mobsters, Nazis and shadowy organizations trying to overthrow the government in the 1940's.
This was around before the DC Comics were.
@@leelarson107 Masked Marvel was 1943. DC's Sandman was 1939. DC was in full gear by then. But the MM was most likely inspired by Will Eisner's "The Spirit!" Eisner claimed that negotiations with Republic broke down & the studio make the"Masked Marvel" instead of a "Spirit" serial!
The man playing the evil foe leader I remember from my early days in the 50's as a father on a few of the little rascal show episodes
Darla's dad.
No shortage of fights. Thanks AAP. Fun.
Any time!
I love how you can pretty much determine the Masked Marvel’s identity almost immediately
I've got it! They are all the Masked Marvel. It's like The Phantom, the Ghost Who Walks.
This is great fun, thank you. I've liked and subscribed. 😊
When I was in high school Chuck McCann used to show this serial on his channel 11 Sunday morning show in NYC - so much fun seeing it again. I love how the 4 investigators dress exactly the same! (And uh...is there any particular reason for one of them to be masked in the first place, except to keep us guessing until the last episode?)
Fight scenes are speeded up 50 %.Nobodies that energetic.
The must-have had a great furniture budget for this, never have I seen so many props destroyed.
All soft wood, all cheap wood, all cut and unglued to last just long enough to hit the stuntman or the wall.
I’ve read in the past that hats stayed on to protect the actors head.
Holding a Gun on anyone means nothing in these old serial films. You must always have a fistfight.
terrific..the cliff hanger. nothing like them
Gotta be said, the serials from republic pictures are clearly better then the ones from Columbia or universal pictures, the staged fight scenes, writing, pacing (they really move), and the music all add their elements to give you your money's of excitement. Columbia serials are slow and at times boring, universal is a little better at times but republic pictures were very consistent with their best years around 1938 to 1947 in my view.
The closest thing we get to The Spirit
Will Eisner claimed that this was supposed to have been a "Spirit" serial but that Quality comics wanted more $$$ & more control over the script; & Republic said "Nope." "We'll just create our own version."
I think Johnny Arthur, alias Mr. Sakima, played the role of Darla's father in the "Little Rascals" shorts.
saw most f the serials as a kid in early 50s love watching them again
Amazing how their hats usually stay on while fighting...
If their hat come off they lose their powers
i love how their hats dont come off during the fights jaja
That's to make the editing easier - nobody has to worry whether the guy's hat was on or off in any particular shot!
I read they adapted a tire inner tube to fit the inside of the hat. Just inflate for a tight fit. Just like an inflatable sneaker today.
grey suits were sure popular in those days.
50:14
This gal is the real deal. Both stylish and tough.
Gosh, that Masked Marvel's as nimble as a ballet dancer. I bet he wath.
Great fight scenes.
These shows are Dope
Well, sorry to see you LEAVE.
GOOF: at about 1:23, one of the thugs grabs one of the good guys through a doorway. He isn't wearing a hat. *As soon as they're both in the room, the thug has a hat on. Now, that's 'dressing for success'.
The excellent condition of the film. Anthony Warde is a good runner.
Warde was great in the royal mounties serials.
Anthony Warde must have played the heavy in 90% of the movies ever made.
Another good mystery!!!!!
FRIENDS KNOW THIS REPUBLIC SERIALS WAS A CRAZE IN BANGALORE THIS FILM WAS SCREENED IN ROOPMAHAL TALKIES HOLLYWOOD IS WOLDS NO 1
suits and hats never fell off
Mr. Hood !!
..LOL..Yes, it's Darla Hood's father from the Our Gang/Little Rascals comedies!...LOL...
Mr Hood- "But Mama !!
exciting during the second world war, these actors must have been classified 4f, so they wouldn't be drafted for the war with Japan,Germany and Italy. But they sure could fight in this picture. thanks for posting this film. ... Matt NY
Rod Cameron was actually Canadian. He attempted to join the Canadian Army, but failed the physical exam. Many actors who made films during the war were given deferments so that they could complete film projects they were working on. Moves were actually considered an essential war production product because it was a moral booster. However most actors directors and others took their deferments, completed the movie, and they entered the war. There were some examples of actors and directors who's jobs in the Army kept them state side making training and propaganda films, and as such they were able to make entertainment films at the same time.
Who's paying for all that broken pottery? Sheer vandalism!
Check your tax statement.
@15:30 ff. Elephants in a china shop (slightly accelerated at that). Actually, it's pottery but ...😊
Somehow I missed how Marvel could survive that fall from the top of that tall gasoline storage tank. No matter. I like the name Nitrolene, reminds me of Chevron's Techrolene ur Techron. I so like the old style automobiles; they have character that is missing in the one size fits all modern designs. Ah, a quality of life has vanished. Thanks for posting. Good on ya mate.
WJack97224 marvel fell off the storage tank n landed in the truck below n just got out before the truck n storage tower blew up
@@anthonyhaylock6655, Thank you. I must have dozed off or turned my attention temporarily to something else. Good on ya mate.
Nitrolene reminds me of Howard Stark's Nitramene. Wonder if that's where the Marvel Comics got the name?
@@@shibolinemress8913, Sounds logical. Could be. What a nice connection if true.
WJack97224 Yep, all cars pretty much look alike now. No personality, no individuality. Sigh...
That "sewer" at 125:10 is the cleanest "sewer" I ever saw.
I've seen fast-food outfits that weren't that good.
A haberdashery store had big bucks off this movie
Ever notice the letter on the windshield? That is a gas ration stamp.
Or as Bugs Bunny once said, "you know how it is with these "A" cards;" it wasn't until I learned about WW2 rationing that I knew what Bugs meant. (Took me a lot longer to find out who Petrillo was!)
Just like the Western serials: all the men wore hats with enormous brims, and yet a hat never came off no matter how rough the fight action got. Not to mention, men or women, no one had a hair out of place...EVER.
But don't get me wrong, I love these serials. I try to imagine myself in this time when there was no tv.
Just a fist fight among men with occasional interludes of "story."
vermontcleric58 Compared to the violence in today's movies, this is nothing.
@@veecee3669 Compared to the violence in today's SOCIETY this is nothing.
I love how they all say "The Masked Marvel" as if it was Joe or Susie.
I had to bail out after the first chapter. I lost count on how many ads in the first chapter.
Unfortunately sometimes youtube puts ads in without my knowledge. I try to only put ads between episodes. I'll try to get to this serial in the next few days and organize the ads better.
Do they ever show these serials on TMC?Started watching them around 1962_really enjoyed them
Yeah, they show them on Saturday mornings. Right now they're showing The New Adventures of Tarzan from 1935.
Gold Movie Serial Number 15.
Louise Currie.
Tom Steele was a fantastic Stunt man, many times He was not even mentioned on the credits!@In here He did everything, All the acting, and all the stunts, but his voice was dubbed. Notice that in fights the hats never fall off, that is to disguise the stunt man even more!
The same chick as in Captain Marvel. She was nice.
She also played the villainess in 'The Crimson Key' opposite Kent Taylor.
I always thought that the Masked Marvel was Snoopy hand-wrestling Lucy for the championship! ....LOL..LOL...
None of these four guys is the Mask Marvel,,the Mask marvel is Tom Steel , his name is not in the credits!! He was ,if not the greates Hollywood stunt man that ever live! His voice is dubb! He wear the Mask and does all the stunts!
THANKS 4 THE INFO!
You could make an argument that Dave Sharpe is Hollywood's greatest stunt man.
Super Dave Osbourn was the greatest.
Ron Jeffrey Don’t forget Yakima Kanutt.
Lastima bonitas peliculas algunas las vi de niño pero con titulos en español.Me gustaria ver el capitan tormenta es el fantasma y la otra de batman en el mlsmo estilo en episodios.No entiendo nada en ingles
Unfortunately I don't have access to Spanish subtitles for the serials, and I don't speak spanish so I would not be able to do a translation.
Desafortunadamente no tengo acceso a los subtítulos en español de las series, y no hablo español por lo que no podría hacer una traducción
See the latest Entertainment Weekly for an article on David Bacon’s unsolved murder.
I do love this serial. The miniature sets and explosions are truly remarkable. The fight sequences are remarkable for the wrong reasons. Never seen so many men capable of being hit square in the face with knuckle sandwich after knuckle sandwich and never even flinch, much less get a scratch or a blemish. They obviously couldn't afford to have the Lydecker Brothers AND a good make-up man. The latter had to go.
Check the credits and you'll see the famous name of Lydecker right there.
Boy I WISH I HAD SOME OF THOSE POTTERY PIECES
Hi everybody.
Howdy
filmes da década de 40 chegavam no Brasil nos anos 50 até 56 por aí 😕
I vaguely remember seeing A show at the Saturday morning pictures in the UK around the late 60s, which is very much like this. Does anyone know if this was shown at Saturday morning pics ?
todas estas series llegaron ha colombia con sub. esp.admenos ah la ciudad de medellin

Jim Crow by day, the Masked Marvel by night! Hey! What's with that cross burning out on my yard???
At about 46:50, does anyone recognize that creaky old station wagon as the one used in the old Roy Rogers movies?

Did Republic try to get the rights to THE SPIRIT?

Does he really know what small means?
Who else came here for Mr. Hood's natal anniversary?
Maskee'th awfully thin...
Tha bad guy is Spanky's dad..!?
ah... with David Bacon... who got killed during/ or shortly after this production by (possible) his or a gay lover.
It is known that he was 'involved' with Laird Cregar.
Did the masked marvel exist?
YES, but I'm retired now.
@@leelarson107 r u serious?
Whatever happened to superheroes where a suit and tie?
*points to The Spirit & The Question*
I think the actor portraying the Masked Marvel was murdered in 1943 . (Rod Bacon?)
I'm sorry , it was David Bacon
Thats correct. I don't believe his murder was ever solved. BTW he never actually played the Maked Marvel. He was portrayed by stuntman Tom Steel.
@@AtomicAgePictures I knew that lol , Tom Steele also played Captain Marvel in Republic Picture's the Adventures of Captain Marvel in 1941. Correction: it was Tom Tyler who played Luke Plummer in " Stagecoach". I had to check my facts. I'm embarassed! 😯
@@shawnmalone9711 You're confusing Tom Steele with Tom Tyler, who actually played Captain Marvel.
@@BPrice1A You're right , I should have checked the Internet Movie Data Base. Thanks for catching my error!😳
What year was masked m arvel made
November 6th 1943.
Too many ads can’t watch it anymore 👎
Sorry Paul, I try to have ads only in-between the episodes, but sometimes RUclips moves them around on me. I'm planning on reposting this film in one part. I'll try to get the ad situation under control then.
at 54:42 oh you cant hurt her ... she is already flat LOL
