Manhunt of Mystery Island 

Video and audio quality is great for this vintage movie serial! Thanks for posting. I’m sick of watching the news and the shows on TV.

🥰Thank you 👍Good old serial 🍿🥤🍫Nice to see Roy Barcroft , Forrest Taylor and other cast members not in a western movie 🤠🐴🐄🎥😃 Oct . 20 , 2023

Featuring Republic's great fights scenes and Lovely Linda Stirling Queen of the Serials

That fighting was worse than the UFC and not one black eye,bruise,cut or fat lip on any of them 😂😂😂 Was an enjoyable romp tho 👍

Please keep these old serials coming I remember them from childhood.

Oldies but Goodies, These were great movies, I watch them with my grandma and I absolutely got stuck on movies with a great story line, never boring, kept me wondering, fight scenes that were entertaining . I’m 58 now still watching the great movies of all times.

Put it on to have a classic movie in the background, but I couldn't look away!

This movie was so exciting, thanks so much for the download 🤗

Having to go back to the movies every week to see the next series great memories 😊

The Fistfights are so cool.

I love the collapsible furniture

Mr Baily's Sports Coat deserves an Oscar!!

This was an enjoyable serial, I liked it very much. The henchman was relentless to no end. That sport coat didn't receive one tear after all those knock down, drag out fights, amazing. This heroine in this one was a little bit harder. She got in there and got her hands dirty and was willing to blaze the villains if she got the chance. Good stuff.

Captain Mephisto created a machine which can change a person's face, heal all wounds, and make them younger, stronger, and taller. Why does he need to turn to crime? He could legitimately make billions off of that machine alone.

Hollywood at its finest!

Roy Barcroft playing another Leading Bad Guy in a 1940s Movie Serial.

I really enjoyed Captains Memphis to! Dr. Tim Rasico M.D.

I just discovered these old movies I use watch them at my grandmas whenever I was spending the night with her.. (yes dear readers I’m that old) Only these weren’t considered old.. Whenever I stayed with her I would walk down to the theater and watch these serial movies so I could keep up with them. And of course back then you could walk the city blocks without any worry. And yes you could by Coke for a dime and cigarettes were only 45 cent’s and no I didn’t smoke back then but I would go down to the local store and pick some up for my Grandma. My mom would have flipped out if she knew..I don’t think she ever found out about that.

If one person could shoot straight , this would have been over after the first chapter.😅

Republic was known for thier wild fight scenes...wreck the joint

Captain Mephisto and his able bodied assistant is as determined as it gets. However the criminologist is more determined to rescue the heroine's father. Man can these dudes fight, knock out blow after blow a chin of freaking iron. The amazing thing about them is their stamina and no worst for wear after each knock down drag out fight. Love these serial, its like watching a cartoon series like GI Joe.

Linda Stirling is fantastic

The movie with the most fist fights ever.

Its nice to see the islands throughout the years,become modernized and up to date bu in a not too fast pace it gives islanders chances to accept andget used to changes,bless them!!!!!

My goodness these two are with all ways getting into something, him. Always fighting and her getting kidnapped but they are cute.

HIT COUNT....400.6 TRILLION FACE SHOTS..NOT ONE BRUSE...GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Reardon character can't, apparently, hit the broad side of a barn with that .38.

Cool Channel. Last I watched Spy Smasher series. Before Jackie Chan's awesome antics were these stunt actors from this era . Thank you so very much for uploading these treasures !

Gold Movie Serial Number 05. Linda Stirling.

Hectic...want one of those hats and suits, never comes off or gets damaged, even the woman's blouse....and that scream🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I love these old serials, so much imagination 💭 and ingenuity that went into the making of them, fantastic. Thanks for posting this awesome video. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

"we may have a dr. jekyll/mr hyde scenario." "do you really think so?" "stranger things have happened." i want to see the series about that

That is one big frickin' island ! Coastlines fading into the distant horizon in both directions. No one else knows of this place?

Manhunt of Mystery Island is my all time fav movie serial- Mysterious Doctor Satan is a close second!

Linda Stirling was decades ahead of her time. She was no helpless damsel in distress. She was a real toughie. Lynda Carter and Scarlett Johansson had nothing on her.

I could not stop watching this till the end!

Best fight scene ever. Love the old fight choreography. Could watch it over and over.

237="is he badly hurt , no the spear just missed him.!"

I saw this serial when Republic Picture decided to make a condensed version of some the studios less known serials. This one entitled Captain Mephisto and the Transformation. machine.They sold these to TV stations there were called “century 66”

Un régal.

Thank you for posting these!

Good to see Retic Ruler of the Moon in another role.

Amazing how the hats remain in their heads...

Some serious fight scenes. I get winded just watching them fight. Good looking woman too, that helps. Fun stuff.

Loved it! Thank you so much for uploading 👍💖👏

Only 3 chapters in, hope Lance brought enough Brylcreem to cover his stay on the island!

A long fall from the suspension bridge into the water..... He comes to the surface with his hat on. Amazing!

Super awesome thanks I love it. Keith Kuhn KK Motion Pictures also on RU-vid

Thank you.

Thanks, Claire.

Free Energy sent via air waves,,, sounds familiar.

These people fight like drunken sailors coming into port

It's quite apparent to me the movie was sponsored by Rooms to Go. The first fight destroyed a lot of furniture.

I hope Claire married Lance so he could finally learn how to dress with some semblance of style. Also, sure wish I had a magic hat like Lance had, stayed on through the thick of things, even several near drownings! Fun flick!

Fred mcmurry the American actor who stared in the film Double Indemnity is this Forbes Murray related in anyway resemblance in the faces I noticed anyone know if they are related. Great film All hell breaks loose fisticuffs very good fight sequence our hero must use up alot of energy in these films . What we have here is The hooded claw up to his bad tricks two no good mad scientist call in the lone ranger to the rescue.

Maybe not the best Republic serial, but definitely not the worst and actually pretty decent. I hope somebody will upload a decent version of 1946's The Crimson Ghost (probably the last really good serial) to YT someday.

Great job you guys gorgeous host she is so cute !!!!

Punch ups galore and yet not so much as a bruise between them.

Claire kills captain mephiso

0:51:24 Those “speedboats” were some real beauties. Don’t make them like that anymore.

thanks Atomic I love the channel :D

Richard Bailey sounds like he is addressing a townhall meeting.So monotone,he was no actor.

Claire bumped off more people than anybody, including killing Mesphisto.

The cabin is on fire why would he go for the gag first. Just untie her and you both can run get the gag outside.

What if the bad guy’s machine malfunctioned? And instead of turning into Mephisto, he turned into someone else? Or totally malformed?

WARNING! SPOILERS! Lance Reardon, the private detective "hero," was an idiot. He fingers the wrong guy and gets him killed, fumbles around and lets all the other innocent men get killed, and gets himself in at least a half dozen messes Claire has to bail him out of. He doesn't even kill the main bad guy - she does. She should have saved her money and done it all herself. She practically did anyway. Besides, it was only 1945. Why wasn't he in the service, battling Axis enemies? No wonder Claire didn't even kiss him once. What a jerk! Patrick Miano is right. Linda Stirling was a real woman hero way before her time who has never gotten the recognition she deserves for being the pioneer she was. She did it all without superpowers or a black belt in karate.

Still waitin for d end bar-line at end but No end in sight😎

They don't make dames like that any more.

AAP FTW!!!

There was one thing about the old fight scenes 🎬 that I could never understand. How come the hero’s hat 🎩 never 👎 fell off?

The ending is a little anticlimactic. But can we be sure….that, that was the REAL Lance Reardon, and not really Mephisto tranceformd and had switched places with Reardon ????

Everybody's a pilot!

WTJ("Wreck the joint") pro wrestling: we don't have to foot the bill just to kick @$$!!!

Thanks

Bullets managemant is key

12:07 Looks like a tv camera.

it was a long while back so i might be wrong - but i remember the villain being changed halfway through this. (in the early episodes that electric chair thing would make the pirate mephisto revert to one character but in the last episode he reverted to somebody else?) and that is why some sources say the pirate mephisto was higgins but others sources say it was braley? or were higgins and braley secretly the same person who both could transform into mephisto? or there was some other explanation given?

Poor ending

Why did these people even bother owning guns?🤪

So many fist fights! Why can't we all just get along?

Cliff hanger city lol

So he invented a giant steam gun that melts thru walls. 20:05 Where are they? Japan?

hero bears resemblance to Dan Ackroyd!

The movie has a good plot, but the fists fights is boring after a while.

I came to watch more garbage ads and a movie came on,......get rid of the effing ads every 3 minutes.....

Commercisl after commercial after commercial after...NOT WORTH IT.

That 'Gay Pride' commercial is repulsive. Is this what you present as part of the 'Golden Oldies' movie world?
