REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 10-Apr-2006) Made in the
post-Vietnam era, when traditional heroes were spoofed and/or killed,
the movie had flashes of what could be, but that made it all the more
disappointing for true Doc fans. Only a few years later, when Star Wars
was released, Hollywood, and the American public, realized the desire
for good guys defeating bad guys. Ely made a good Doc Savage; his crew
was decent; but scratch the costume and belt buckle, and especially the
music. But those aforementioned flashes? When Doc confronts the sniper
on the skyscraper; when he takes bullets to the chest on board the
steamer ... It's interesting that it's never been released on video or
DVD; would that someone had the courage to try it again. The people
that did The Mummy movies have a flair for the era; so does Philip
Jackson, with King Kong. Brendon Fraser would make a good Doc, and with
CGI, no prob in casting his associates and then distorting proportions
to fit with the pulp descriptions ...
