I have a 4 year old son, and I've gotten him hooked on these old vintage adventure serials. We enjoy them on Saturday morning. I had seen this serial about 30 years ago and I remembered it fondly. I read these comics and I thought that he would like this. If you like these types of programs, you will like this one. The special effects are fairly realistic for this type of show. The story is entertaining, if not particularly believable. We had just finished a Batman serial, and I wanted to get something different. This title I had been aware of since it's release, but I considered it expensive. I got a good deal on Ebay and everyone is happy. The story has some condescending attitudes regarding ethnic groups in 3rd world countries, but it is in line with the colonial attitudes that were prevalent at the time. I didn't find it offensive, but my wife rolled her eyes a few times. In short, this is an entertaining title. It won't be confused with a Spielberg/Lucas production; but if you want to explore the roots of the action/superhero/cliffhanger film, you can't go wrong with this title. The transfer is excellent, and this is a good package.
