The Martians wear slightly baggy, but supposedly skin-tight suits of glittering purple. And 12 chapters later, he has succeeded in overcoming the Martian hordes.
Tonight's feature is brought to you courtesy of. And it was a mere ninety-three minutes out of my life. 152m/B VHS . If things keep going at this rate, one of these days, there’ll only be enough time left for the credits!
I seem to remember it from The Undersea Kingdom among others.
Meanwhile, villainous Martians conspire with a traitorous atomic scientist to blast earth out of its orbit and replace it with Mars!
Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Many, I’d imagine, felt they could design such a wonderful rocket pack, themselves. One of those tapes was the colorized and edited version of the 1952 Republic Pictures serial Zombies of the Stratosphere. Right? So the 93 minute version would have to be further trimmed to 80 minutes.
And now, a dozen years later, I watched it again. Super-scientist Larry Martin, inventor of the first stratospheric-flight spaceship as well as a jet-powered personal flying suit with helmet, is called upon by the government to investigate ramped-up UFO reports occasioned by the Martians' spaceships. There are motor boats, submarines, space ships (that never seem to go into outer space), and robots.

When we were kids, we knew how to play, didn’t we! Admittedly, the old serials were pretty fast-paced as it was.
He’s really good at take-offs — step, step, step, jump! Our feature is the colorized version of the Republic serial of the same name starring Judd Holdren as security agent Larry Martin, the Rocketman. Commando Cody, er… Larry Martin, straps on his flying suit and sets out to save Earth from the sinister machinations of the evil Martians. You’d think that any self-respecting Martian out to blow a planet out of orbit would carry at least one ray gun. The robot from many serials including this one.
Zombies Of The Stratosphere (1952) Colorized Version. It was a small part, editorially enhanced.
Most of the time I just give people credit for even making a movie, but not this time! Perhaps it had something to do with their proposed television series by the same name?
Welcome to the last 2011 Halloween Countdown post with Tabonga!..
If you're looking for a fun nostalgic trip into the past, you can't go wrong with ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE. And probably leaves the mark of an egg-timer on his chest, to boot! And by the time this colorized version was being prepared in 1990, Nimoy’s fame had grown way beyond his inauspicious beginning in Zombies. Aw, quit complainin’, ya whiner.
I don’t think they even used the word “zombies” in the entire serial, although it might have been spoken once at the very end… albeit without explanation.
.
It seems that 20 minutes of commercials and 40 minutes of programming makes up each hour, by current standards. All the action takes place on Earth and in the skies above.
He was used in other Republic serials. This classic matinee serial has been colorized and slightly edited to create an amazing improved version of this crazy sci-fi classic.
The controls for Larry Martin’s flying suit. Sling a jet-pack on your back — hey, you could probably find one of those jet-packs at the local hardware store — and you were set!
Sep 13, 2013 - It's Monster Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. A professional.
The flying suit was first seen in King of the Rocketmen (1949), and nearly all of the stock flying-suit footage was reused in Radar Men and Zombies, both from 1952. Comments (0) Video info. But the idea was to produce a 90-minute movie for television broadcast that could be shown in a two-hour time slot.

A 93 minutes that I feel was well-spent. I watched the film on the USA Network with a host popping up in the commercial breaks.
Well, hordes may be overstating it a bit.
The results were mixed, at best. The Martians, meanwhile, led by Marex, engage a renegade earth scientist and a gaggle of gangsters to help them steal supplies, operate a menacing robot, and build their bomb. Zombies of the Stratosphere ★★ Satan's Satellites 1952A serial in 12 chapters in which a cosmic policeman fights Zombies attempting to blow the Earth out of orbit. Fictioneer William Garrett died on this date (Oct. 17) in 1967. I've never been a big fan of slasher films, but I've learned to really like the Giallo genre over the years, because most of them have very cool music, well thought out and Edgar Wallace like twisted story lines, and top of the line cinematography, but the rest of them are just garbage as far as I'm concerned, and that's the category that tonight's feature falls into! And then there was the flying suit.
Looking for something on ThePulp.Net? After all, Green Faced Martians in Purple Suits in a Pink rocketship, It's hard not to have fun!
the usual.
And I could actually follow the storyline, something which isn’t always possible when watching a serial in its original form. At the time, I wrote down some of my thoughts regarding this shortened, colorized version.
And now, through the magic of the written word, we take you back to that point in time in which I had just finished viewing all 93 glorious minutes of pulp thrills transferred to film.
The VHS videotape box even went so far as to put a yellow blotch on the front, proclaiming “Starring Leonard Nimoy.” Boy, talk about hyperbole.
An uncomfortable number of them were done on his belly.
Instead of coming back every week, viewers would come back after every commercial break. We enjoy hearing from you.
Whoever chose the colors for this version definitely knew his stuff. Although this doesn’t seem to be shown on TV anymore, you can fairly easily find it on the internet.

It was early 2004 and I was transferring a bunch of my VHS tapes onto DVD. So there are no zombies.
Just grab Mom’s egg-timer and strap it to the front of a leather jacket. You don’t see much of this done any more, but it was all the rage back then. I suppose that’s because the original versions of serials were designed to be seen over a 12- to 15-week period, whereas this version was specifically designed and edited to be seen in a single two-hour sitting.
The overall result: not nearly as bad as you might think! I’d like to see that show up on TV again, but I guess they’d have to edit even more material to make it fit into today’s two-hour time slot. The serial plot’s been rehashed many times, in various forums, but I’ll recap it briefly, because serial fans always expect a recap. Related videos. It was color.
This would probably be a bad thing, understandable to even those 10-year-old boys of 1952.
The colorized and edited Zombies of the Stratosphere was released in 1991 to video and television. The robot in this serial… hey, I’ve seen this guy before!
Okay, anyway, Larry Martin is hired by the government to track down the Martians who have landed on Earth.
And so the pace was indeed picked up by some skillful editing. One of those tapes was the colorized and edited version of the 1952 Republic Pictures serial Zombies of the Stratosphere. Enter your search term and go. Commando Cody… er, I mean… Larry Martin (doggone, I gotta stop doing that) in the flying suit makes for a quite respectable hero.
They chose Zombies of the Stratosphere and The Crimson Ghost. And now, through the magic of the written word, we take you back to that point in time in which I had just finished viewing all 93 glorious minutes of pulp thrills transferred to … The Martian’s spaceship is appropriately red (the red planet, you know). Oh yeah, little green men from Mars!
The editing was done surprisingly well. I wonder if that was the colorist’s homage to another Republic “Martian” serial, The Purple Monster Strikes.
Post was not sent - check your email addresses! But just as the robot in Bela Lugosi’s The Phantom Creeps was a creampuff, this one isn’t much of a threat, either. But the biggest disappointment was that there are no zombies.

So find it, watch it, and fight the irresistible urge to borrow Mom’s egg-timer. Larry Martin’s spaceship that doesn’t go into space. It was designed with a “wow” factor that really worked for adolescent boys. So, it was fun… pure pulp all the way. This had the effect of enlarging his part in the final edited version.
“But, it’s in the title!” you cry. Skillful editing that could eliminate 44 percent of the original film footage, and reduce Zombies‘ original 166 minutes to a 93-minute television movie.

No egg-timer, but I did have a piece of cardboard that I drew the controls on taped to my shirt.
Reviews Reviewer: Harem Cinema - favorite favorite favorite - August 12, 2020 Subject: Thanks for Sharing . Of course, he’s not actually called that; he’s just Larry Martin. That’s just gotta hurt.
And editing the episodes for length not only would let the serial fit in a two-hour time slot, but would also pick up the pace of the serial. Why they didn’t use the Commando Cody name as well is something that I can only wonder.
Everyone uses a pistol here, even the Martians.
With three seasons of the Star Trek television series and five of the theatrical Star Trek movies under his belt, Nimoy was a hot commodity. They were designed for the short attention span of 10-year-old boys in the ’30s, ’40s and early ’50s.
He was 77.
One person found this helpful. How they arrived at these particular choices, I have no clue. Here's the quickest way to find it.
In 1990, Republic Pictures decided to colorize and edit two of their old serials for television release. Yes, you were cheated!
Also available in a 93-minute, colorized version.
But he has the lab building, the aides, and that wonderful amazing flying suit as seen in Radar Men From the Moon (1952), the only “rocketman” serial to actually use the name Commando Cody. The lead character of Larry Martin is, for all intents and purposes, Commando Cody, Sky Marshall of the Universe. Martians come to Earth to build an H-bomb strong enough to blast Earth out of orbit so that Mars can be moved into its place in closer proximity to the sun.
