THE ROCKETEER "Airshow Rescue" (1991) Joe Johnston 

Why is this movie unironically so good? Vintage yet still a classic.

0:21-0:22 Every kids reaction in the theater in 1991 seeing the Rocketeer fly for the first time. “I’m gettin’ it! I’m gettin’ it! I don’t know what it is, but I’m gettin’ it!” So glad I got to see this in the theater when I was a kid.

I absolutely loved The Rocketeer. I thought Joe Johnson did a fabulous job on it. These sequences gave me goosebumps and that always means the director is hitting it.

Who ever hated this movie I wanna “talk to you”

One of the most underrated directors out there! This film is amazing, great story, great music and just plan awesome! This scene gives me chills every time I watch it!

Most of the airplanes are modern replicas, including the 1918 Standard J-1 "Miss Mabel" that Malcolm is flying and the red 1934 Brown B-2 Racer that Cliff passes. The Ford Trimotor passenger aircraft is the real deal, though...199 were originally produced and 18 of them are still airworthy.

“How do I look?” “Like a hood ornament.”

My favorite superhero, no super muscle or laser eyes. True hero.

"It's all part of the show!!"

RIP Alan Arkin....

The perfect MCU movie before the MCU.

One of Joe Johnston's finest

0:35 Nice entrance hero, you scared the poor old man nearly into a heart attack....

Tears of joy rewatching this classic.

I watched this when I was 9 back in 1991 and even back then to this very day I still wonder how the rocket pack didn't burn his butt.

You can get this theme stuck in your head all day

Love this film.

Favorite Superhero as well. All the elements of a great story, glad there is no sequel..

I was 9 when this movie came out and ever since then I always wondered how the rocket pack never burned his butt.

"Biiiggg gopher."

I was ten when this movie came out

I loved Rocketmani it's a Great Movie

the Curtis JN Jenny was sapataz by the Bond Henchman overnight.

My favorite movie. After some research, I have to complain about what I see. First off, that airliner lacks NACA cowls over its radial engines. Airliners care deeply about minimizing cost and NACA cowls had been around since the 1920s. The tension cables on that biplane look kind of loose but I don't know if that's how they are in real life. Anyway, about that Farmall tractor. Its either an M, H, or MD and its missing a transmission lever but I can't figure out what its for. Anyway, any of those 3 tractors were made no later than 1939 which is 1 year before the movie takes place yet somehow that tractor's paint job has faded, failed, and allowed rust to accumulate far more than should be possible within a 1 year period of time. Maybe those farmers were using salt water to wash their tractor.

Based on the graphic novel by Dave Stevens.

Another movie being remade. Cliff Secord is being race and gender swapped.
