Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975) Official Trailer - Ron Ely, Paul Gleason Movie HD

[@keithwatkins7908]

RIP Ron Ely. Thanks for the great memories when I was a child growing up to Tarzan and then Doc Savage.

[@JereWilkerson]

I got to meet Mr. Ely at a film festival back in 2016. What a super guy. He really loved his fans and he was very nice to me signing a big photo reproduction of himself as Doc Savage. He will be very missed. God Bless You. RIP.

[@The1baddman]

Rest In Peace Mr Ron Ely 🕊️😢💔

[@derekramsaroup3883]

This was the first movie I ever saw in the cinema, and will always have a special place in my heart ....I have always been disappointed that they never made the promised sequel "The Archenemy of Evil "...RIP ,Ron Ely ...

[@PatriciaCoberly]

Rest In Peace, Ron Ely. You were great as Doc Savage and as Tarzan on TV.

[@nickbritten8132]

At the end of the film they said he would return.... they’re talking their sweet time!

[@robertwarren3278]

Go talk to Dwayne Johnson about it. 😆

[@PatriciaCoberly]

Well, if Dwayne Johnson ever has his way, we'll have DEI Savage, instead!

[@TheOicyu812]

Loved this movie when I originally saw it in the theater at the age of 7. Now that I'm 50-years old, it's a bit campier and low-budget than I remember but pretty cool to look back on it with nostalgia. A movie that came out a year earlier and still holds up quite well is The Island at the Top of the World.

I was 5 or 6 when my dad took me to see this and I always remembered the green ghost snakes.

[@jontonian]

Me too... they scared me. I imagined them coming up from under my bedroom door. I was 6 too. How funny.

[@jitsroller]

I saw the commercial I was 6 I've looked for this thing for years not knowing the name just doc something. I can rest now knowing it was robert Ely, he played Tarzan on tv in the late 70's.

[@JohnJackson-mn4ts]

You can tell this was made in the 70’s, if the lapels on that shirt got any bigger one could use them for handgliding

[@millsyinnz]

Sort of the thing that you would want to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

[@jayhawkshead]

That eye twinkle! Pure awesomeness.

[@thomasjoseph5876]

That's actually an "unofficial trademark" of a young FX assistant working on the movie (uncredited), who got that added into the movie. I say, "unofficial trademark" because he uses it in some other projects he was part of with his largest being the Wonder Woman TV Show back in the 70s. It isn't uncommon to see that "twinkle" with the Wonder Woman character. While they did give her an occasional eye twinkle, they used it more as a teeth twinkle when she smiled.

[@jimquann2400]

My sister found this movie for us to go see and I am so glad she did. Thank you, Ron Ely,

[@neildawkins6344]

My best friend and i were obsessed with this film... I shall watch it this evening in tribute 😥🧡

[@jeffshadow2407]

In 1970 my mother gave me a quarter to buy five five-cent paperback books from "The Knot Knew Shop" on Glassell Street near the Orange Circle. Each was a Doc Savage novel, and I still remember the titles: "Death in Silver", "Land of Always Night", "Quest of Qui", "Brand of the Werewolf" and "The Fantastic Island". I started buying copies at thrift stores in the 1970s (always spotting the black spines) for ten cents each. I sold a complete set in 1992 to the writer of the new comic series. Today I have over one thousand copies. Now they are very difficult to find.

[@rodrigocastillo4253]

I still have a Doc Savage book that belonged to my dad!! It's an adventure in the arctic

[@jeffshadow2407]

The Polar Treasure!

[@mrcarpenter2008]

I LOVED Doc Savage when I saw it first released and I still do. I have no idea why this didn't make Ron Ely a major star or why they only made one film. I also adore the music...its like singing dialogue. Mr Ely you were loved as Tarzan and loved as Doc Savage. I salute you sir.

[@coke1355]

Ron is a perfect doc savage

[@kpmac1]

this was released when i was 7 and those green snakes terrified me. i remember almost nothing else about the movie but i'll never forgot those things.

[@darthfixer7853]

I had forgotten about this movie except for those smoky snakes, and like you those terrified me and I imagined them many a time... my father was able to name the movie and here it is.. i now know what movie to avoid.

[@Exnavyjay]

I remember that as well. I thought at the time though he was actually made of bronze

[@hellbilly6532]

Ron Ely was perfect, he was the Tarzan of my generation. Loved this flick, broke my heart when they didn't make the sequel.

[@enminghee2926]

It's fun to see how far superhero movies have come in 50 years. That's a feat more implausible than most of its characters accomplish.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

This looks way better than any contemporary superhero movie.

[@dukesir1865]

As you can tell from the middle part of the trailer when Doc is talking to the girl about the plot, but there are so many fun things that happen in this movie and the song is catchy. Like the climactic fight scene between Doc and the villain when they keep switching between different martial arts and a title appears onscreen to say what fighting style they are using. I love that they name the little pig "Habeas Corpus" but I wish they had called it "Habeas Porkus"

[@123z56]

Miss him !

[@rodmoore1577]

Unfortunately a little movie named Jaws opened on the same day as Doc Savage and the rest, as they say, is history.

The actress that plays Mona played the evil Princess in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

He would have been a great Doc Savage too if they had a decent script and director.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Probably played by a trans rainbow unicorn nowadays.

[@Neville60001]

Damn right, and damn straight, James: there's _no way_ that Doc and his gang as depicted in the 1930's would work now, especially the part about him getting a fortune in gold from a aboriginal tribe in South America that finances his exploits and his scientific research, to say nothing of him having a 'Crime College' that does brain surgery on captured villains that 'cures' them of their criminal tendencies by making them simple.

[@The80sWolf_]

"When terrorist strike!" * throws a dynamite on a piece of rock in a bush that explodes next to people not harming them *

[@thomasduffmcgready1805]

It didn't harm or kill them because they wanted to show this in a mad crazy comic book bonkers world like in cartoon. Remember at the time this film was made it was done for family entertainment with very young children. After all there's far to many real life and death explosions in this world. Doc Savage is the man of Bronz who brings peace and jam to all man kind. Well the peace without the jam that is. If its explosion harm and death your looking for in this film. Your then definitely watching the wrong film with the wrong ideas and intentions.

[@gustavusvasa5437]

This was a Saturday night feature when I was a boy.... would love it see this re-imagined....

[@TheAyeAye1]

This was a really fun movie, but it never went anywhere. It's the perfect case of needing a good reboot.

[@joninfinity]

TheAyeAye1 No. If you know Doc Savage books, you know this movie was garbage, a complete joke. Pure trash.

[@CuteLesbo69]

joninfinity I agree, I was excited when it came out then was mad as hell at how "campy" it was.

[@undergroundwarrior70]

Apparently Dwayne Johnson was suppose to do an updated version movie of Doc Savage a couple of years ago or so.

[@bondrafabaond]

If instead of making it "campy" an "cheap" the producers would have make it "epic" and with high production values, they could have anticipated the success "Raiders of the lost ark" had 6 years after. Sadly, they thought, as everybody, that pulp adventures like comics, were by-product and so they thought the only way to make was by making it "campy".

[@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

I agree on the 2nd part.

[@lamueldagon7618]

I haven't since this since the early 80s.I remember it being really good,but I was about 6 yrs old.

Ron Ely who played Tarzan TV series on the NBC Network in the late 60's. I did see this movie on TV back in the late 70's. It is just downright awful. I never read the paperback books of Doc Savage, but I am sure the movie did not do any justice to the books.

[@DWNicolo]

You’re right.

[@danielcarr7090]

I reckon Ron Ely looks very similar to Charlton Heston, they could have been brothers.

[@catfeeder5306]

Charlton Heston in the fifties would have made an AWESOME Doc Savage!

[@cha5]

I always pictured Doc as looking more like a combination of Clint Eastwood and Johnny Cash and Chuck Connors ala those classic James Bama covers and having a weatherbeaten face that looked like it was chiseled out of granite.

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

Loved watching Doc Savage, and I wanted him to rescue me same with Tarzan.

Funny how he is wearing 1970s style clothes in the middle of the Great Depression?

Those are 1920's/1930's/1940's classic breeches worn with tall boots and a collared jacket (the shirt, pants and books are of the kind used by big game hunters and lion tamers.)
