    I remember seeing the Ron Ely movie at the cinemas. Forget if I was still living in Owensboro, KY or Bettendorf, IA

    Strange that I've always been aware of 'Doc Savage', but (until now) known nothing about him.

    I didn't forget. I have the movie. I never understood why there weren't more.

    I played a Doc Savage character in a hero-based role playing game, years ago. My friends hated me; my character had no super-weaknesses because he had no superpowers.
    If Dwayne Johnson plays Doc, I desperately want to see the Fab Five they'd cast. Just take my ticket money, now. :)

    So, he is enhanced naturally but not entirely superhuman?

    Doc Savage is not superhuman put peak human being. The pinnacle of what a human can become and continue to be and evolve.

    Both Marvel and DC Comics had licenced Doc Savage, I don't remember if Doc ever had crossovers with DC characters unlike Marvel where Doc interacted with their superheroes.

    Doc and the five are the original Super group . Without powers they're better than Batman and the Man of Bronze is far a better character than the Man of Steel.

    Read a lot of the paperbacks in the 1960's.

    I read as many of the paperbacks as I could in the early 70's and still own a few
    The 1975 movie was terrible and if there is ever another movie is made I hope they treat the character's better than the first did
    Something's left out of the video concerning his gadgets were a telephone answering machine, live and recorded video surveillance of his headquarters and clothing with chemical heating coils in the lining

      They didn't seem to know whether they were playing it straight or doing a parody, which is death for a movie.
      I think of the celebrated old pulp characters only Conan has gotten a movie that is respected. I guess if you count Sam Spade as one you have _The Maltese Falcon_ of course! One problem is that movie Conan, as great as he was, didn't seem to put as much focus on the "sophisticated intellectual" aspect of the character (and it was so iconic that it became definitive on film so unfortunately had the effect of probably killing it as a film character forever). I like that aspect that the old pulp heroes tended to have, and you can obviously see the influence of a character like Doc Savage on all sorts of subsequent characters. I like the idea of giving Savage a more muscular physique this time but I don't think Rock will bring the right energy.

    Thanks so much for this comprehensive video. I've always been intrigued by this character since seeing the film as a kid in the 70's.

    Perhaps an enhanced human like Batman.

    Dwayne Johnson as Doc Savage is a Good Ideal.
