[QUOTE="Deidzoeb, post: 3674202, member: 54078"] Hi, It's a fake! I presented it as if it was really made in 1936 by Republic Pictures to see if I could convince anyone, but that part is a hoax. The honest story is that this film title was floated by Hammer Films around 1971. [URL=http://ratmmjess.livejournal.com/170419.html]They commissioned a poster[/URL] to attract investors, and came up with a synopsis, but never made the movie. After hearing this, I remembered some old serials that showed zeppelins and dogfights (Dick Tracy, Hurricane Express, The Phantom Creeps, lots of others with dogfights) and unfortunately only two old public domain movies that show glimpses of pterodactyls (The Lost World (1925) and Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet). So there really never was a movie by this title from 1936. Sorry to mislead you. :o I tried to leave hints, like Terence Stamp ("Kneel before Zod!") who wasn't born until 1939. Also there are two [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio]Wilhelm screams[/URL] in the middle of it, kind of an inside joke for movie fans. It's a stock sound clip that's been used in a bunch of Westerns and action movies from its first recording in the 50s right up through Star Wars and Kill Bill and Sin City. [/QUOTE]
