The Rocketeer is...Awesome! Bill Campbell as Cliff Secord was, Perfectly Cast as the hero of the film. Alan Arkin as his mechanic/buddy is priceless Also, Jennifer Connelly, never looked better than in this film, especially in the white dress as she danced with the leering Errol Flynn clone Nevile Sinclair later found to be the bad guy. EEEEEEEEvil Nazi Timothy Dalton, with his mob henchmen led by Paul Sorvino, til they turned on him, as they didn't want to work with some lousy nazi. The finale was...Epic, on the blimp vs Sinclair's man mountain henchman! The score was as, Rousing, as Connelly was, Arousing! Too bad there wasn't a sequel!

YES. Oh, so much yes. This was one I watched as a kid, and I remember my little brother even had a... like a slightly-bendy rubber Rocketeer figure where you could pull his helmet off.
The other night we saw a jacket in the juniors' section of Target that was reminiscent of the Rocketeer jacket-- yet another moment where I have to just sort of turn to him and say 'I know, I know, you want them to make it in mens' sizes.' I loved that movie. That and, later, The Shadow, really helped solidify my young love of Dieselpunk. (Our dad must have been pleased that his efforts to expose us to somewhat silly films and old-time radio serials paid off in the end) Related note- I recently watched MST3K riffs on a couple of the old Commander Cody single-reelers that largely inspired The Rocketeer. The cheese was glorious.
