THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL (1941) 12 PART SERIAL – DVD RIP




A 1941 movie serial in 12 chapters, The Adventures of Captain Marvel is the story of the Malcolm archaeological expedition which unearths a hidden tomb containing a powerful ancient relic - the Golden Scorpion. This contraption, in the shape of a giant scorpion, features a series of lenses which, when aligned correctly, create an "atom smashing" ray. In an antechamber young Billy Batson, the team's radio operator and general gopher, encounters the immortal wizard Shazam who grants him the power to change into Captain Marvel. Over the 12 episodes, Captain Marvel endeavours to thwart the attempts of the villainous ‘Scorpion’ character to obtain all the lenses and activate the contraption.

While the "transformation" effect of Billy to Captain Marvel and vice-versa (i.e. a cloud of smoke) is very basic, the flying effects - especially for the time - are superb. Every episode ends with the requisite life or death cliff-hanger, which is then neatly (and usually quite cleverly) sidestepped at the start of the next episode!

Starring Tom Tyler, Frank Coghlan Jr, William Benedict, Louise Currie, Robert Strange
