And I thought Star Wars storm troopers were bad marksmen. ;) Fun series. Thanks for sharing.

[@dennisanderson3895]

I never get tired of this serial!

[@dennisanderson3895]

I love this serial! It's a video comfort-food for me. Coates is a strong and enticingly lovely lady.

[@DarrylRuiz-s1w]

Phyllis Coates left Superman for this

[@truthhurtswilky7785]

Myron Healey was in everything.

[@johnwick40453]

Panther Girl wearing the exact same outfit as Frances Gifford in Jungle Girl :) Must of been a sale at Pennys :D

[@AtomicAgePictures]

This was done intentionally so that stock footage from the previous Frances Gifford serial could be used. :-)

[@randyacuna5643]

Also because Phyllis and Francis are stunners

[@randyacuna5643]

@@AtomicAgePictures sir, you are totally correct. One thing about serials, lots of stock footage, plane crash, car crash, building explosion, even boat crashes. Walls coming together to crush the heroes, lots of fun.

[@AnthonyStJames]

@@AtomicAgePictures Sure, especially the vine-swinging shots.

[@andrewcao1526]

Absolutely amazing that an understanding

[@M0D60]

This is funny, silly, ridiculous.. good. Panther Girl got great legs.

[@gardenplots283]

There have been a few generations now who never experienced the thrill of watching jungle themed serials before the Saturday matinee and growing up terrified they'd end up trapped in quicksand or being killed by headhunters.

[@timtebowfan628]

Phyllis Coates was the first Lois Lane.

[@jonathanmyers2867]

Phyliss Coates as Lois Lane in The Adventures of Superman! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤

[@ERGORSE]

Ye God’s! I haven’t heard a woman scream like that since my wedding night. We went to blockbusters & rented The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[@josephperkins4857]

😅😅😅

[@willgray7272]

These later Republic serials seem more like TV shows than movies.

[@scottandrews9453]

After WWII the budgets started to decline, by the 1950s they went from several writers to one writer snd frequent use of stock footage, even at Republic.

Thank you at sanders he was trying sneak up the river good

[@MMPhoto]

Thank goodness for that Unlimited Ammo Perk! Auto Reload too! Need to work on that Aim Skill tho.

[@jamessmith7691]

These poor guys couldn't hit the side of a barn from the inside. The elephant was pretty cool though. The professor was the vet on My Friend Flica series I think it was.

[@JJJBRICE]

I did not realize that they were still doing movie serials in 1955 with the stiff competition from TV series offering similar material. Like some of the other commenters have noted the recently departed Miss Coates aka Lois Lane was a looker .

[@AtomicAgePictures]

Republic's last serial was King of the Carnival in 1955, and I believe they were the last studio to hold out making them.

[@gardenplots283]

The theater I went to in the early to mid 1960s was still showing them before the kid movies on Saturdays.

[@andrewcao1526]

All right boys let get back to village we check

[@andrewcao1526]

Creature I I mànaged to get a few pictures of

[@andrewcao6111]

He sure big enough jake Larry sanders

[@andrewcao1526]

Well that was a close one yeah too close

A minute Morgan told us keep out of it yeah

[@andrewcao1526]

I’m all right except for the shoulder

[@andrewcao1526]

Somebody come this way

[@andrewcao1526]

Monsters you mean you think they brought them here perhaps

[@andrewcao1526]

Match perfect poison ga it’s amazing according you money known ordinary Ricky animal poison you know

[@mikephalen3162]

Say what you want, the acting isn't bad at all.

[@AnthonyStJames]

I expected much worse. Anyone who still watches Adventures of Superman can enjoy this. Even the villain is a Superman 'vet' (as well as hero Myron Healey). Quite entertaining.

[@bloodgrss]

And the star of this was a great Lois Lane in the first TV Superman productions, a fine actress. Much better than the woefully bad Noel Neill...

[@perniciouspete4986]

18:16 A big bowl of clarified butter would scare it away.

[@andrewcao1526]

Got a mile just across the river

[@andrewcao1526]

How right man

[@andrewcao1526]

These things around you and me both

[@andrewcao1526]

Before you go any further they re level to hear us in the village yeah

[@andrewcao1526]

Larry and Jean are trapped in the abandoned mine by cass and rand who try to force them out with fire

[@macmcelroy6165]

panther girl is knocked out in the fight scene yet manages to shift positions 2 or 3 times

[@andrewcao1526]

Next week chapter five test of terror

[@andrewcao1526]

Plug it in Larry

[@andrewcao1526]

And sanders isn’t likely to do anything the film with her missing

[@unclecreepy4324]

Interesting fact that it was a stuntman dressed as Panther Girl swinging through the trees.

[@AnthonyStJames]

Of course. I assumed that was not Phyllis Coates. She did ride the elephant, though. LOL

[@unclecreepy4324]

Obviously but they must not have had any stunt women back in the day.@@AnthonyStJames

[@andrewcao1526]

Yeah

[@andrewcao1526]

Uh look at that I lost my gun too

[@andrewcao1526]

Don’t crowd them too hard we re getting close to the village

[@andrewcao1526]

Larry fights cass and rand who were trying to force Jean to give them the picture she had taken of the claw monster

[@bigal4919]

what a shocker

[@andrewcao1526]

Well the first

[@andrewcao1526]

But it didn’t out you don’t know how badly orto was hurting no but it doesn’t

[@andrewcao1526]

The test of the line then but you be killed not if my magic is good isn’t

[@randywaite4573]

[@andrewcao1526]

Let get out sights

[@andrewcao1526]

There to explain where these monsters come from

[@andrewcao1526]

Get over against the wall

[@stevenbrown1798]

I wonder if Phylis Coats getting her own show had anything to do with leaving Superman. Could be.

[@AnthonyStJames]

Of course. There was no guarantee after the first season Superman was even going to continue or be any kind of success. So she took other work

[@andrewcao1526]

All right yeah the stop well have but don’t you mean we loot it yourself down t then oh you

[@andrewcao6111]

Devil sprits come this way
