Spy Smasher is a top serial. One of the best. The main character is pure action as he defeats the enemy at every turn. A dynamite and fun movie serial from the Republic company. Republic was a leader in this type of entertainment for years. Columbia Pictures and Universal produced serials also, but Republic was tops in its field always producing serials and making the most with what little budget there was. ♐
Spy Smasher was definitely one of Republic's best, head-and-shoulders above Captain Marvel, even. So few serials featured actual Nazis in uniform, even during the height of WWII. Having the villains be Nazis just seemed to make Spy Smasher more grounded in reality than some other serials. Kane Richmond was one of the best serial heroes, and having Marguerite Chapman in the picture certainly didn't hurt, either.
One of the best serials of all time, thanks.
My favorite serial of all time! I have a DVD with a 15 minute compilation of the best stunts from Spy Smasher.

would it possible for DC Universe or DCEU to make a modern tv series or movie about Spy Smasher?
