In Singapore, two Marine Lieutenants, Tom Grayson and Frank Corby, uncover the threat of a masked terrorist called The Lightning, who uses an arsenal of powerful lightning-based weaponry in his bid for world conquest.
One of the greatest action/adventure serials of all time.
Terrific Serial from Republic pictures. I really like the outstanding score by Alberto Colombo! Yes the Lightning was the inspiration for Darth Vader.
The serial that brought the world DARTH VADER.
Cool I really like these old series movies hope you got more to come. 👍👏👏💛🐪🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎😁 thank you atomic

To think these same Marines would be engaged in an epic struggle with the Japanese across the Pacific in a few years time.
Kids would enjoy these old ones.
An epic production. Many thanks for posting it.
25:49 our hero never knew what hit him...
It's amazing how roomy submarines were back then!
In real life, subs barely had space for anything. Most of the crews, especially on the German side, were chosen for their average height and weight; a tall man would have been too big. Sleeping arrangements were always miserable.
"Stand aside, everyone!!, let The Lightning through!!!".
49:23
There's something amusing about watching Darth Vader's spiritual predecessor using a landline telephone.
"The lightening" looks like " The Rocketeer".
Too bad I'm 60, after watching this I felt like. joining the Marines.
I do my best fighting while wearing a tie .
Only those villains would wear asbestos suits.
I like the lightenings secret airplane.
Kids would enjoy these.
Nobody knows who the lightning is.
I bet the shadow knows
Agreed!
The Lightning kind of looks like Darth Vader.
Other way around. The look of Darth Vader was partly inspired by him.
Gold Movie Serial Number 13.
Eleanor Stewart.
Lee Powell might have had a good career in films but he joined the military and died in WW2.
I remember have watch this serie in middle of seventies on the station
This was made one year before WW2
Powell died six years after this movie was made (shame) but Brix lived till age 100
Just yesterday I saw a Roy Rogers movie from this same era and thought that the opening credits looked so cool. I had never seen that device used before...apparently Republic Pictures used it fairly often in the late 30s?
Is it just me or do all the female leads in these 30s movies look the same? Not just the hair styles, but brunettes seem to dominate the "B" movies, while blondes were "reserved" for top line movies
Herman Brix(Tarzan) Lee Powel (The Long Ranger)
Herman Brix aka Bruce Bennett won Olympic silver in shot put and also starred in Daredevils of the Red Circle, one of my absolute favorite serials
20:17 "secret" lab marked "electrical laboratory" on the outside wall..?
Most Interesting. Yet fun.
SFMF!
Going to eat dinner
Bon appetit!
At 11:44 The letter says Lingchuria and signed by the Consul of Linchuria, lol.
The first stealth airplane?
Or the four guy in the treasure of the seira madre?
Isn't it that the resistance leader from Casablanca?
If you are referring to actor Paul Henreid from Casablanca, he is not in this film.
The Frighteningly Dense Devil Dogs
US Marines in dress shirts and ties in a combat zone? Hilarious.
Hey we gotta look good while we make the grass grow bud. Look at me!
It's not a dress shirt and it's not a "tie"....it's a "field scarf". That stuff went away during WWII.
@@jasholden9741 Thanks for that clarification. History, of any sort, is for those who care to notice.
@@RRW1982 I too thought they were ties. Thought well, the Marines are always gentlemen. lol
"Lord Vader, I hope you know we were influenced by " The Lightening" when we designed your costume."
The perspective, thesis, and narrative might not always be "right" or "perfect".....but I do give credit to "Hollywood" (the screen writers, playwrights, novelists) a modicum of credit for trying to capture a semblance of talking/filming history of the events as they unfold. Many thanks for another great serial!
There is no "right" or "perfect", this is escapist propaganda from a dream factory, grab your willing suspension of disbelief, your popcorn & sit down, shaddup & enjoy the ride while it lasts!😊
