  • This Buck Rogers film short was made for the 1934 Chicago World's Fair by the owner of the comic strip. The amateurish acting and effects make for a modern "camp" classic. Read more about the film at caferoxy.blogsp...

    Did you know that next year (I'm typing this in 2018 so next year for me will be 2019, if yo get what I mean...) will be the 90th anniversary of the first ever 'Buck Rogers' newspaper strip!
    3/1/1929 (or 1/3/1929 if you are from the states) was the date that first strip was first published, alongside the first ever Hal Foster 'Tarzan' strip (purely by chance by the way...) granted the first short story came out the prior year (thus making this year the 90th anniversary of Buck, or rather 'Antony' if you want to get picky about history) but the fact remains that Buck is almost going to be 100!
    Only 400 more years before he wakes up from his Rip Van Winkle act...

    Thank you so very much for this I have been a fan of Buck Roger since 1965 when I first watched the Buster Crabbe serials on after school tv. I love the costumes they are so close to the comic strip. I hear a new version is in the works I hope it’s better than the 1970s version. Thanks again

    Dr. Robert Goddard and his wife Esther saw this film while visiting the 1934 World's Fair---and they recognized Dr. Huer as a good-natured parody on Goddard's own public persona as a scientist...

      Better than JJ Trek, and Discovery. and done with only a hand full of actors,and toy space ships. The first ever Buck Rogers movie with out Buster Crabbe, and Constance Moore.

    @M.J.Conway 7 лет назад +20

    I'm guessing that the writers of this serial were still coming off of radio drama writing, given the constant reliance on narration rather than letting the images do the storytelling. Some of the camera work is clever, I'll say that.

      ...can you help?... I am trying to locate on the Internet some general information and the titles and some examples of the series, half an hour long(?), made in the 40s (?)... shown in movie theatres... I remember seen two types: ...men with wings who could fly... and the cops and robbers type with lots of car chases...

    • @mxylpx
      @mxylpx 2 года назад +1

      Probably given the $1.98 budget for costumes,sets and special effects you go with narration every time. What sterling cast.

    Too precious for words. We were truly that young at one time, will we appear as such tomorrow? How quaint we will all look. Even so today. Still, it's a great show. (Still prefer current Buck Rogers.) 😍☺️

    My favourite line: "Ahhh, there goes Buck -- good luck, Buck!"
    Wow, what an amazing clip! Corny, awful, ridiculous ... but a year older than the first Flash-Gordon-serial. That means that its second half may be the very first space-ship-battle ever shown on a silver screen. And the explosions of the ships were pretty well done for the time, better than in the Flash-Gordon-serial.

    Like how it was close to the comic s strip. For a commercial project great. I'll bet people who saw it were impressed. No matter how many times you say it was a low cost project you get useless comments. Thanks very for sharing.

  • @jamessnee7171
    @jamessnee7171 6 лет назад +2

    I wonder what that toy rocket-ship cost back then? About 2 bucks?
    So I wonder if this is the first feature specifically designed to be a toy product tie in.
    Like Action Man, Transformers and Yu-gi-oh.

  • @Isurtum
    @Isurtum 10 лет назад +7

    Yeah, the clip hadn't any impact on the sf cinema because its audience was limited to the visitors of the World's Fair in Chicago. And its "narrative" is awfully crude and simple. It was clearly conceived as a sort of commercial, not as "cinema". But nevertheless it was shown on silver screens and precedes Flash Gordon as a first live-action space opera.

    Wow that's awesome and wonderful science fiction movie back then but I truly love and appreciate the modern version of Buck Rogers in the 25th century from 1979-1981. Gil Gerard as the real Buck Rogers, the 1930's version is all right and okay.

    Whoa Boy that was so bad! LOL But ya gotta start somewhere. Talkies were only about 8 years into the new movie techno scene and there was still a lot to be learned! After a few more of these, they broke into the mold, they cracked the code, and Buck was the most popular serial of its time. My Dad loved these as a kid. For them it was like watching 2001 A Space Odyssey!
