I'll respectfully disagree with casting Depp as Cliff Secord. Johnny was a stud to be sure, but Campbell had the "gee-whiz" look of the boy next door. Depp plays a great "flawed hero" that wouldn't have fit well with the optimistic screenplay; Depp's performance in "Nick of Time" (1995) shows how he handles the heroic save the girl role.

This film is excellent. Its only failing-point/weaklink is the choice of actor who portrays the protagonist. IMDB states Johnny Depp was "nearly cast" in the starring role - which would have been a far wiser choice, over the wooden performer who landed (no pun intended) the lead.
@Wh3nYour3Strang3 But of course, it's my experience from looking at the propaganda of nazis both past and contemporary that they consider looking and sounding as evil as fuck to be a bonus for some reason.
To all who want to make a factual argument here on this clip: It is an entertaining fiction. The Rocketeer was a pulp comic strip written so very long ago. Get over yourselves you pea brains. My say is done. *bow*
@chop11111 Actually, it makes perfect sense, being a clean lift of Disneys' own 'Victory Through Air Power'. I thought it was a nice wink at the original.
@chop11111 It's because some people are left-brained, some are right-brained, and some (the rare but vocal ones) are both. Some of us want satisfaction both ways.
Adolf Hitler installed a "RADIO ANTENNA" in the island of "NIKUMAMORO" where Amelia Earhart "corpse" was first found and then lost in Japan and then apparently, reappeared, as "three pieces of bones", and 70 years later like it was "The Bermuda Triangle". I think Adolf Hitler is challenging "SKY CAPTAIN" to "detroy" his
evil "TOTENKOPF RADIO STATION" (there are posters to prove it).
No way the the Germans could have won that war, The Allies took out all their factories and Oil sources, The Russian winter had finished the German army along with the Huge Russian army. The Germans had run out of men and arms and fuel. Italy had nothing to do with this. Even if Hitler doesnt send troops off Russian front, it would only have prolonged the war plus the Americans had the A-bomb. Russian A-bomb project was destroyed by the allies.
@lcolby11 Actually, if Mussolini hadn't been stupid enough to go against Hitler's advice, he wouldn't have had to ask Hitler for reinforcements, causing Hitler to take troops off the eastern front, dooming the troops to miss capturing Moscow before the winter of 1942 came, and with poor supplies and equipment, many Nazi soldiers froze to death. And if Hitler had invaded the Soviet oil fields, they could have caused the Soviet war machine to capitulate from inability to move.
HEY THIS IS STUPID, IM A NAZI. AND I KNOW NAZI PROPAGANDA, THIS DOESNT LOOK LIKE A NAZI PROPAGANDA, THIS LOOK LIKE A AMERICAN PROPAGANDA FILM AGAINST THE NAZIS
IMHO it is more an Allied propaganda or after having seen after so many years.
The Flames, destructions, the spreading of Nazi symbols and more importantly the attack against USA and not USSR (The Hitler' s nemesis) depicted is more like a scare for the american audience. I know I know, the movie is a reamke of an old TV show but....
Don't forget that Nazi Germany was more concerned with Earth warfare. Naval the main target was the British Empire as Navy for Kriegsmarine
@Tyler1337Admin, your response is even more irresponsible than the one by mypalosatan. I seriously doubt that the original Nazis had any use for most people living now other than slave labor.
@Wolfen443 I'm of German descent. The Nazi's invaded Poland merely on the grounds of they thought they were looking at the German Empire funny. I highly doubt that a German national would be abandoned if he had valuable information to offer (geographic information, ways to control the populace while abiding to Nazi doctrine, etc.)
@TyVulpine It was past the design stage. It was called the Heinkel 280. 3 20mm cannons with a pair HeS 8 engines. The prototype was ready in late September 1940, with a grand total of 9 being produced by 1941. Interestingly, it actually outperformed the FW-190, and was actually much cheaper to operate then piston fighters, thanks to being able to burn kerosene, but wasn't given the proper attention. Multiple wings could have been flying by 1942 were it not for that.
@TyVulpine Something like that. If I remember correctly, it was because he wanted the Heinkel teams to focus on bombers, and not fighters, preferring Focke-Wulf and Messerschmidt fighters.
Still, imagine if they had phased out the Me-109 with the He-280. The battle of Britain could very well have been a success, and they could have likely maintained air superiority over Europe.
@TyVulpine It was true that Mussolini was captured but you are very wrong about being executed soon after - He was rescued by an SS commando from an hotel converted into an prison.
Mussolini then set up a fascist republic in northern Italy - the south changed sides and fought on until near end of the war in 1945.
Mussolini was captured by Communist partisans in April 1945 and executed along with his mistress - both were later taken to Milan where they were hanged upside down!
The Nostalgia Critic was right: this is the most impractical world takeover plan of all time. Instead of planes, they're sending thousands of NON-BULLETPROOF troops with minimal heavy equipment.
@JustPhilNY You're forgetting, prior to 1945, there were no jet planes, only propeller planes, so the jetpacks would be faster and more maneuverable than anything the Allies had, and could fly farther, reducing the need for supply lines and could strike without warning. The Nazis could attack the United States by ambush and capture Washington D.C. easily, eliminating the US from the war and could do the same against the Soviet Union and England.
@TyVulpine Uh, there would still be supply problems. If an entire division had jetpacks with, oh say, 10 gallons of fuel each, they would need a 100,000 gallons for just ONE mission. You think Barbarossa had logistical problems? THIS would have been a true nightmare. The only operation I think they could effectively use the jetpacks would be Sea Lion. Don't forget: the troops can't carry that much stuff. Also, they would capture Washington and then be completely surrounded by US forces.
@JustPhilNY Remember, the pack used alcohol, not gas. And obviously get great milage, since it's never refueled during the entire film. And if Germany was known for one thing, it's alcohol.
@TyVulpine Gas, alcohol. They would still need a massive amount of it to fuel a division. My creative writing teacher told us that fiction is "real life with all the boring stuff taken out". They probably refueled it inbetween flying scenes.
While it probably would have helped in England and possibly Russia, I seriously can't imagine Germany launching an invasion of America. The reason D-Day worked was because we had a massive landing and staging area: England.
@JustPhilNY I think they would have. If you would recall the scene when Cliff and Peevy used the "Lady Luck" statue to test the rocket, it flew off in one direction and vanished and then came back up behind them after about a minute or so, so it's reasonable that it covered quite a distance in that time. Possibly covered around the planet. The top speed of the pack was never revealed.
@TyVulpine Not quite true. TheGermans had a working jet fighter in late 1939/ early 1940. They just chose not to produce it, thinking that the war would be over before they'd need it.
@halo07guy2 It was being designed, but Germany surrendered before it could go into mass production. (Japan was as well, but surrenered too before their version went into mass production)
@TyVulpine Well, it was non-stop Allied bombing late in the war that make mass production impossible - the only successful production was that of Germany's first jet fighter the ME 262. However it was not enough to prevent Germany from defeat.
Us Brits then made first jet fighter called the Meteor which took action a few months before the end of the war to try to match the ME 262 but there was not much action with jet fighters before end of the war but it really took place in Korean war.
@DavBlc7 The movie took place in 1938. If these rocket packs went into mass production before German industry was obliterated by 1944-45...I shudder to think what a SS division equipped with these devices would have been able to do...
@my80splaylist, personal rocket packs could have been a short range replace for Paratrooping operations. But other than that, I see no other practical use for them, if they had ever been developed or deployed.
Since this is a Disney Movie lets put this into perspective. Jetpacks like this HAVE been successfully made, but there's a "Slight" Problem. The amount of fuel needed to keep a person aloft is quite limited. The ones that have been made only last about 30 seconds! So unless you land within that time period you' could be 1,000 Feet in the air one second then.....
Why is the song so menacing? I mean, I realize it would be a bad thing if the Nazis got the backpack, but they wouldn't think so, and they're the ones who made the cartoon.
The same director who did this movie is directing Captain America: The first Avenger. You mihgt say it's a little glimps of how the movie may look like.
Someone actually owns the complete reel of the German test and cartoon. I hope Disney can get their hands on it and put on a special edition DVD of the film.
You're damn right, It a crying shame. We all need to write nasa, tell them to screw the space station and the moon. WE WANT OUR F#&KING JETPACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@capnhands We'll beat them anyway. Our government has become so disorganized I think we'll have to do it ourselves though. Everyone would have to grab a 12 gauge and get shootin'.
Who on the planet can destroy America other than ourselves? Come on in and try, but know that every Free Person is armed and will fight back. The current leadership not withstanding. The United States is supreme.
The Nazi strategy was bent on conquering nations with resources but also on demolishing any system or ideoligy and forcibly replace it with their own doctrines. The American military power was well reckoned in the late '30s and Hitler foresaw that, if America was ever to become an enemy, they would mean the difference between victory and decisive defeat. Hence a part of the reasons why Germany sealed a pact wit Japan, in order to get their attention drawn to the Pacific first.
Having watched a lot of cartoons made in the late 1930s (mostly by Disney and Looney Tunes), I find that the animation on this Nazi cartoon looked quite advanced for one made in that time period.
@ThomasAnime It's basically meant to resemble the animation seen in films like "Why We Fight" or "Victory Through Air Power" that came out during WWII.
What a great plan... instead of using bullet resistant metal planes that can hold hundreds of gallons of fuel let's just strap rockets to our backs and attempt to cross from Europe to America on a few ounces of rocket fuel. Also, let's not carry guns or bombs.
I don't know, but they probably watched a hell of a lot of World War 2 era cartoons to get the style right. At rate, based on the few German cartoons I did watch from the era, this didn't seem to fit in. It was more of a Disney style than anything else.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If this would be real, then the nazis would won WW 2 and there wudnt be such thing as that pedo jacko, cuz dey wud terminate such human like pieces of shits.
This was also on the Tear Jerker page. I love America, but there is no way this scene could make me cry. It's a fun homage, like the Nazis in the Indiana Jones movies.
lol, why would the nazis make propaganda that makes themselves look ominous and menacing? That always confused me about this part of the movie. If it was made by the germans, you'd expect it to show the americans as evil and ominous and the germans as nice happy liberators that leave sunshine and flowers and shit in their wake.
The Nazis wanted to show the Americans as weak, and undeserving of life. They wanted people to think of the world only deserving of the strong and having no room for the weak.
That's not how Nazi's worked. They showed themselves as superheroes destroying symbols of selfish, weak America, in order to demonstrate their power and superiority. Nazi's prized strength and war-heroism far, far beyond sunshine-y stuff.
I hardly think killing 6 - 9 million civilians makes them "superheroes".
As for war heroism, the Nazis allowed countless thousands of young German men to freeze to death at Stalingrad, while bloated cunts like Goering slept safe in their beds.
Uhhh..if you actually read my comment, you'd know I totally agree with you. What I was saying was that these are NAZIS. *They* thought they were good people. *They* wanted to be seen as superheroes. *They* wanted themselves to be seen as fighting a holy war. *They* thought America was weak and selfish. That's what THEY thought, even though they were complete and utter monsters who committed some of the most henious atrocities in history.
But Nazi's DID prize strength and war heroism. Their vision of an ideal hero was a Hitler-worshipping, clean-cut killing machine. Not that they actually were war heroes - the worst people in the world are all hypocrites. I was replying to a post in which someone was asking why the Nazi's didn't make a film where they were spreading sunshine and rainbows, and I was explaining that Nazi germany didn't take much stock in that stuff. My post was not poorly constructed. You were just rushed.
Well, you were wrong to explain that the Nazis "didn't take much stock" in the flowery side of propaganda.
The opposite is true; they poured immense resources into their "Strength Through Joy" propaganda, showing harmonious scenes of women working in fields, bronzed men building the autobahns and a civilian workforce exercising in unison, under blue skies.
It was an image of utopia.
Joseph Goebbels was a household name in Germany, long before the first panzers rolled into Poland.
Yes, but I was just pointing out that their propaganda (as you described) never looked quite the same as US propaganda did. It was just very different, stylistically. I was pointing this out to someone who thought this propaganda would make them seem evil to other germans.
Can you kindly post some links to these propaganda videos? It would be lovely to see. On topic, more or less, it was lovely to see Nazis with jetpacks. That was interesting.
I used to think people who believed in the nwo conspiracy were hopeless nut jobs as well. That was until I decided to look into it with an open mind rather than trying to defend my belief system.
it'll be cool if their was a real ww2 jet pack battle between the american , british,canadian jet pack troops v.s. italian, german, japenese jet pack troops
My god... that's some kick-ass propaganda. That would turn me if I was 8-10. In fact... that makes a good case for me TODAY! But in all seriousness, that is some kickass propaganda.
Oh let them have fun. Besides there was an element of truth to the film. There was a design to allow troops to rocket assist jumps over trenches in the late 30's. Only thing that came out of it is that it wouldn't work and they didn't have trenches in that war. Probably would have driven them into the ground on the other side anyway. LOL
I think we can all agree that this shit is retarded. Not that your conversation isn't erudite or anything, but I think you're kind of getting a little too into this.
This doesn't make much sense. Seriously, even if they made jet packs capable of flying across the Atlantic, there is one major problem... rocket soldiers are just humans, and considering how effective anti-air guns were in taking down aircraft (double the aircraft shot down by fighter I need to add) could have swatted those tightly packed formations like flies a single barrage of flak bursts might not take down an entire squadron, or even a single plane, but..
(part 2) considering that they're armored aircraft and not human beings, even a shell burst from a relative far distance could easily kill or wreck the jetpack off and send the man falling to his doom. To top it all, what's a rocket soldier armed with? A rifle? SMG? Those aren't gonna do much damage, also when they run out of fuel and they can't refill anywhere, they're pretty much screwed.
I don't see a few German divisions or even an army group as sufficient enough to occupy the USA. The USA is a large country with a large population. A large gun-owning population I might add. Also a population that is used to a certain amount of freedom and democracy. The Germans would have to contend with a serious insurrection. And logistically, you cannot occupy a country of that size and a population of that size with one Army group or a few divisions...even if they have fancy jet packs.
One of the reasons why Japan thought they might never be able to set foot on the United States is that 'there is a rifle behind every blade of grass'. Ditto for the Germans not invading Switzerland in either the First or Second World Wars. In fact, the most badass thing ever said about the Swiss is 'how's a Swiss rifleman supposed to fight an army twice his size? Simple, shoot twice and go home.'

Depp plays a great "flawed hero" that wouldn't have fit well with the optimistic screenplay; Depp's performance in "Nick of Time" (1995) shows how he handles the heroic save the girl role. It suits him better than "Rocketeer", with more internal conflict for him to chew on. For my money, Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly were perfectly cast.

Why is the song so menacing? I mean, I realize it would be a bad thing if the Nazis got the backpack, but they wouldn't think so, and they're the ones who made the cartoon.

The Nazi strategy was bent on conquering nations with resources but also on demolishing any system or ideoligy and forcibly replace it with their own doctrines. The American military power was well reckoned in the late '30s and Hitler foresaw that, if America was ever to become an enemy, they would mean the difference between victory and decisive defeat. Hence a part of the reasons why Germany sealed a pact wit Japan, in order to get their attention drawn to the Pacific first.

The Nazis wanted to show the Americans as weak, and undeserving of life. They wanted people to think of the world only deserving of the strong and having no room for the weak.

That's not how Nazi's worked. They showed themselves as superheroes destroying symbols of selfish, weak America, in order to demonstrate their power and superiority. Nazi's prized strength and war-heroism far, far beyond sunshine-y stuff.
grumpytosnowwhite 2 years ago
Superheroes? Are you a troll or what?
I hardly think killing 6 - 9 million civilians makes them "superheroes".
As for war heroism, the Nazis allowed countless thousands of young German men to freeze to death at Stalingrad, while bloated cunts like Goering slept safe in their beds.

Uhhh..if you actually read my comment, you'd know I totally agree with you. What I was saying was that these are NAZIS. *They* thought they were good people. *They* wanted to be seen as superheroes. *They* wanted themselves to be seen as fighting a holy war. *They* thought America was weak and selfish. That's what THEY thought, even though they were complete and utter monsters who committed some of the most henious atrocities in history.
You really don't know how to read.
grumpytosnowwhite 2 years ago
Your post was poorly constructed; giving a clear pro-Nazi impression.
When you type a sentence like:
"Nazis prized strength and war heroism" do not be surprised when people think you are praising them, even though you aren't.
worthlessdollar1 2 years ago
But Nazi's DID prize strength and war heroism. Their vision of an ideal hero was a Hitler-worshipping, clean-cut killing machine. Not that they actually were war heroes - the worst people in the world are all hypocrites. I was replying to a post in which someone was asking why the Nazi's didn't make a film where they were spreading sunshine and rainbows, and I was explaining that Nazi germany didn't take much stock in that stuff. My post was not poorly constructed. You were just rushed.
grumpytosnowwhite 2 years ago
Well, you were wrong to explain that the Nazis "didn't take much stock" in the flowery side of propaganda.
The opposite is true; they poured immense resources into their "Strength Through Joy" propaganda, showing harmonious scenes of women working in fields, bronzed men building the autobahns and a civilian workforce exercising in unison, under blue skies.
It was an image of utopia.
Joseph Goebbels was a household name in Germany, long before the first panzers rolled into Poland.
worthlessdollar1 2 years ago
Yes, but I was just pointing out that their propaganda (as you described) never looked quite the same as US propaganda did. It was just very different, stylistically. I was pointing this out to someone who thought this propaganda would make them seem evil to other germans.

This doesn't make much sense. Seriously, even if they made jet packs capable of flying across the Atlantic, there is one major problem... rocket soldiers are just humans, and considering how effective anti-air guns were in taking down aircraft (double the aircraft shot down by fighter I need to add) could have swatted those tightly packed formations like flies a single barrage of flak bursts might not take down an entire squadron, or even a single plane, but..
Hotshotter3000 2 years ago
(part 2) considering that they're armored aircraft and not human beings, even a shell burst from a relative far distance could easily kill or wreck the jetpack off and send the man falling to his doom. To top it all, what's a rocket soldier armed with? A rifle? SMG? Those aren't gonna do much damage, also when they run out of fuel and they can't refill anywhere, they're pretty much screwed.
Hotshotter3000 2 years ago
they'd be shot down while flying wouldn't be able to hit a target flying at 20mph and fuel consumption. only usable in retreat

I don't see a few German divisions or even an army group as sufficient enough to occupy the USA. The USA is a large country with a large population. A large gun-owning population I might add. Also a population that is used to a certain amount of freedom and democracy. The Germans would have to contend with a serious insurrection. And logistically, you cannot occupy a country of that size and a population of that size with one Army group or a few divisions...even if they have fancy jet packs.
maddingo12 2 years ago 2
One of the reasons why Japan thought they might never be able to set foot on the United States is that 'there is a rifle behind every blade of grass'. Ditto for the Germans not invading Switzerland in either the First or Second World Wars. In fact, the most badass thing ever said about the Swiss is 'how's a Swiss rifleman supposed to fight an army twice his size? Simple, shoot twice and go home.'
