Once you know it, you spot it every time, but it still worked. But the shots that impressed me the most were the studio flying shots with him suspended by wires against a rear-projection. That worked so well, it's too bad they didn't do the same for the Superman serial that came soon after. They used animated cartoons for the flying! :)Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947125621377796711.post-7394147650002027492009-08-11T12:54:45.248-07:002009-08-11T12:54:45.248-07:00I loved the flying stunts in the serial.

In the scene where he flew up to a building's rooftop they dropped him down, and reversed the film. Either way, it looked great (I think that Commander Cody/Rocket Man) used the same technique.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
