Captain Marvel fights a masked criminal mastermind called the Scorpion, who is determined to gain control of an ancient weapon. It is made in the form of a large metallic scorpion with adjustable legs, tail, and removable lenses that must be properly aligned in order to activate its powerful ray. - Zábava

The opening is far better than I expected. Really not bad given how close this was to the event horizon of comic books coming into being. I'm frankly shocked.
Super facts 🤌
I remember seeing this as the serial in Saturday morning pictures in the early 1950s.
The noise from the excited boys when the word SHAZAM was shouted.......
This is really good. They did a great job keeping the film action packed filled with superhero effects. Even with the low technology at the time they still put forth effort. This is way better than things that came after it. They fearlessly pushed the bar.
They say the best serial ever made.
Im sure there was a court battle with superman and this serial. After the flying bullets bouncing off him etc
I'm pretty sure there was some sort of legal trouble over it but I don't remember any details. I think at first King Features was going after every new hero to wear a cape and skin-tight costume so surely they wouldn't sit still for a caped guy who also flies and is bulletproof, it's just too close.
I thank a place like Utube that dont have their hand in your pocket. So much educational stuff and old shows like these , movies , cartoons. I praise this channel and thank all who post valuable information 4 us all .
@@dontaylor7315 there were no court battles..Captain marvel was in comics books when this came out...Superman wasn't the only bullet proof hero
The *REAL* Captain Marvel!!! Thanks very, very much for uploading this classic serial!
You mean he doesnt torture someone to steal his bike and clothes?
Marvel reinvents their heroes all the time. I personally love the new one as well. This one you could call an original Marvel, but yo me the new one is not any less real. And remember, it was Mar-vell before this
@@victoriabarclay3556 No, this was the Original Captain Marvel. It was from the 1940's created by Fawcett Comics. Mar-Vell is from the 1960's. It was 10 years after the Original Captain marvel stop publication and sold the Character to DC Comics. For years DC was suing Fawcett , claiming that Captain Marvel was a cheap copy of Superman. Fawcett stop publication in 1953.
By the way, in the 1960's Marvel comics was called Timely. The second Captain Marvel was an android with the power to detach his limbs. It was from a minor publisher named MF Enterprises.
Then in the 1968 when Timely change the name to Marvel, Roy Thomas and Gene Colan created Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell.) The character was a male military officer from the Kree Imperial Militia, turn traitor when he allies himself with Earth.
In the 1980's this Captain Marvel died of cancer. But was replaced by a female earthling name Monica Rambeau. A police lieutenant from New Orleans Louisiana, who possesses the power to transform herself into any form of energy.
Then in the 2012, Miss Marvel ( Carol Danvers) who got her powers from Capatin Mar-Vell from and explosion , started using the name Captain Marvel until this day.
@@juanfelixsoto I keep forgetting the M.F. Enterprises one. The kid's name in that comic was Billy Baxton.
@@juanfelixsoto thank you for the Marvelous history lesson, didn't know there was that many incarnations of Captain Marvel !😀😀
The Captain Marvel we need and deserve
Though he was renamed Shazam
I have to say this was really, really good! The special effects especially with the molten mountain effect, that was incredible for back in that day. It was a good story, with a good ending. Very happy to have seen this and thank you for putting it up on CZcams. I never even knew this serial existed. :D
Making history
As someone who was raised on Jackie Chan movies and now is a big fan of the John Wick series, the stuntwork in these serials are equal parts gutsy and creative to a degree that still holds up. They don't have modern technology and techniques, but they used what they had to its maximum and then shot it really well. When you get right down to it, big flying tackles, dummy falls, piston pulls and breakaway furniture shots are still a lot of fun.
I love these old school cliffhangers
I was too young to watch these classics in the cinema but I'm certainly enjoying them now. The effects were good for the day. Thanks for posting this 😉
My pleasure. I'm glad you are enjoying them.
I saw this as a kid,every chapter
And they at least tried to mirror the suits as closely as possible to the comics, during that era.
And used codenames, not like today where every hero/heroine uses their birthname.
I really appreciate how they decided to shrink the cape for practical purposes while still making it fashionable. They were ahead of their time.
Well no actually. His cape is small even in the classic comics. I think you are judging it by the typical Superman standard of the longer Cape. But Cap’s cape has always been a shorter shoulder cape draped over the shoulder. His design is based on a early 20th century operetta uniform.
Throwing bad guys off the roof....This Captain Marvel.means business!
This reminds me of when I watched Superman in the sixties... Oh how I miss the old days !!!
I grew up with all Republic pictures upon the Fijian island. Never missed any episodes, cheers Johnny Angel Cool of Fijian Republic ISLAND.
Not unlike the Forties, a chapter or two a day was a welcome relief from all the drama we are (they were) living through. Much appreciated.
The old Republic Saturday Matinee serials always amused, even if as to a child they were unbelievable. Those matinees were a bargain. Two cartoons, a newsreel, a short subject, a serial, coming attractions, and the movie. Wowsies. Life will never be as affordable as they were in the mid 1900s.
The serial films are the precursor to the modern television episodes.
This version of Captain Marvel was better written and acted than later ones. A very good acted tv show.
It was made for cinema. Serials of several chapters of 15 to 20 min. each episode that was programmed weekly.
This is what Elvis would go to the theater to watch. He had all the comic books.
I grew up with this serial on laser disc... THIS IS THE REAL CAPTAIN MARVEL!
Laser disc? Picture quality was amazing I bet
@@MICHAELTHOMPSON-uy6ki You have no idea. It's a shame the medium never quiet reached mainstream.
@@XX-sp3tt Too expensive! From the players to the discs. I wanted one so bad but it just wasn't affordable. Glad I never invested now.
@@jerryleroy9187 I'm not sorry my family invested.
I remember looking forward to Friday nights in Rural Ontario when chapters of this serial came on Magic Shadows on TVO. My mother would make whole small pizzas for myself and my brother on iron skillets while we watched the greatest of the serials.
This is the Captain Marvel I will accept and support !
Same here. This is the Captain Marvel I knew as a kid. Subsequently I never liked Marv-Ell (or however it's spelled).
So I do !!!
@@dontaylor7315 Mar-Vell (or whatever) can suck it! Billy Batson is Captain Marvel!
@@brennanshane146 Amen bro!
@C James I know, but I don't care a bit, for me , HE will be forever Captain Marvel who trun into the superhero by saying Shazam, the other one from Marvel is just a fake
The flying sequences still look great and at times, convincing.
I agree sir.
Hola 👋 me gustan las películas que ponen muy buena pero no puedo ver por el motivó que están en inglés les agradezco si ponen en español para disfrutar de sus películas gracias por su comprensión
Por favor en español para poder disfrutar de sus películas gracias 🤗
Yeah they actually are more realistic then those in the superman series!
Agreed!
A hero, a villain, a damsel in distress! World-class actors and special effects! For the period anyway, ahaha, I enjoyed this, even if this is soooo cheesy and full of stereotypes.
Where do you think the stereotypes came from?
"SHAZAM"...BOOM!!! Captain Marvel comics was sued out of existence by DC on the grounds he was a copy of their super hero: Superman. Billy Batson was a teenaged newsboy who needed a crutch, gaining his super powers from an old graybeard sage he'd met at the end of the abandoned subway tunnel he lived in. [in his comic book, anyway] who always managed to gasp out "SHAZ-UNGHH!" before getting knocked out by the bad guy but always managed to muddle through somehow. I'm 82 and I still love him.
i'm 81 and i agree with you
I am a huge Captain Marvel fan. What was it like to grow up in his heyday?
Flying is a right🦸Superman can't copyright that. Boo🦹Superman..
I am 61 now and love the brutal way he deals with the bad guys he machine guns em, throws them off buildings and strangles them and gets those bad guys grovelling. If only society was like this today. bad guys would think twice.
The best super hero movie serial ever made ! The flying scenes are spectacular ! When the Superman movie serials were made a few years later those flying scenes were animated. Not here ! This movie serial is GREAT !!!!
Republic had the benefit of having the Lydecker brothers doing their visual effects!
HOLY SHIT.!!!
Captain Marvel just machine gunned downed those three guys in the Back 🤘🏻😄🤘🏻.
Ice cold 😂
you would do it too if you knew you couldn't be held accountable
@@mlongpre100
No… no, I wouldn’t.
After 10 years in the army and having never killed Anyone.. no, I wouldn’t
This is gold. My mom told me stories of seeing these chapters in theaters when she was young.
One Of My Childhood Movie Heroes From Year.s Passed ! R.I.P. Captain Marvel !
FAVORED among some great Republic Serials. Thank you.
Its considered to be the best serial ever made.
This is awesome! Being in my 40’s I loved it when the comics I read became movies in the 90’s but this is where it all began, so thankful you put this on CZcams, absolutely loving it! 👍
The best serial I think. Today I was watching 'Batman and Robin' on TCM. It wasn't very good, and then I thought about the contrast with this masterpiece.
These old serials are so dope, just action packed and keeping you invested every minute.
Fulfillment of fantasy adventure is popular for some viewers, including me!
Anyone else here after Film Theory pointed it out?
The real captain marvel. This is great.
This Captain Marvel is a sadist!! Throws villains off buildings and chucks engines at them 🤣
Great, just great! For what they had and what they did this was tantalizing and enigmatic pure genius!
Love the way those guys scream after Captain Marvel throws them off a building. I think Captain America threw more guys tho'. He threw guys off of everything, buildings, towers, oil wells, you name it.
Also love the "someone in this room is the Scorpion moment" and they show everyone with shifty eyes looking all guilty. Who can it be? And its the rat faced guy.
1:25:40 really caught me off guard and started laughing after my jaw fell open
പൊളി സാനം 😂😂😂
This Captain Marvel definitely had a sinister side that from time to time reared its ugly, cold blooded head-throwing folks off buildings, using machine guns to mow down dudes, etc. Move over, Batman, run fer your life, Joker!
In one of the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels (I think it was Tarzan the Untamed or Trz the Terrible) Tarzan machine-gunned some German soldiers. But I guess that behavior was less surprising in Tarzan than in one of the flying caped comic book heroes. After all, Tarzan was a guy who also killed enemies with his teeth.
"It's the Caped Madman!"
The man demonstrated his evil by trying to kill a woman. Even in the old West there was no greater crime than to be a woman killer. That's why Captain Marvel threw him off the building. Regretably, American morality has lost that particular taboo since this serial was made.
@@LordZontar No, it's Captain Murder!
@@soulguardian0760 Firesign Theatre reference.
The flying sequences in this serial are the best.
Let´s marvel with captain Marvel ! Thanks
This was total fun! Amazing what this lock down (sort of) has done to re-surface these gems.
Awesome 😎
Senselessly complicated ways to die. Always a favorite.
excellent,thank you for sharing this gem.
LOL this was acually really funny
I really liked this serial! Thanks for sharing!
MatPat sent me
One of the great movie serials. thanks for posting this gem.
Movie serials SURE LOVED doing the masked unknown villain routine...
Love the naiveity of these stories.
Wow..This is one of the films Lucas/Speilberg must have watched to get ideas for Indiana Jones..Very artsy beginning where the man
is hitting the gong, right up the the camera's lens.....very addicting to watch.
Gunga Din with Cary Grant Victor McLoughlin and Douglas Fairbanks Jr was another that inspired Spielberg
You are right .Mr Spielberg must have watched this🤣🤣🤣
Loving it
So fun 😁. Thank you for posting these. I watched them all in a row.
excellent upload, cheers.
Saludos de argentina!!!!! Greetings from argentine!!!!!!!
60 YR OLD AND NEVER SAW THIS SERIAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
The REAL Captain Marvel
AMEN!
SHAZAM!
*transforms into captain marvel*
I wonder why we are all watching this..?
@@Iamnotageekguys Because Captain Marvel is awesome
Hailings and thanking from Brazil!
Oh my GAWLLL!
You doubled it. Repeat. Ohhh.
Damn it.
Peace!!!
I am totally enjoying this.... Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the upload!
Outstanding, I watched the whole series nonstop...
I really enjoyed the kick flip at 27:52
Malayalam
🤣
Pinnalla
When it comes to superhero shows and movies, it's all about the villain. You're only as good as your bad guys.
Thanks for sharing this amazing serial.😃
I'm totally amazed about the quality of the film. Sure there are some lines and blotches now and again. I also like that the picture is clear too. The film stock must have been stored carefully.
I never went to the Children's Cinema on a Saturday, but it reminds me of Saturday Mornings on TV in the 70s.
Great fun.
If these guys continue pistol whipping each other on the head they're going to develop some serious brain trauma.
Especially poor Betty.
Very glad to have a chance to see this! Thanks! 👍
I came here from Film theory.
Absolutely feckin awesome. 😁🎃☠️
Great picture quality.....excellent restoration job!
This is great..I really love it. But I just hear him say call the police? Call the police about artifacts you all stole? lol. But anyways I love this stuff.
THE OG CAPTAIN MARVEL . WILL BE FOREVER MISSED.
Don't worry, he's now SHAZAM!
@@Algox yeah, due to legal issues
This is the serial my Dad was a fan of when he was a kid. I remember him talking about it but I never saw it until now.
Gotta LOVE it!!😄👍👍👍.
I enjoyed every moment of this . Thank you very much
Honestly the flying looks pretty good all things considered
Good fun really holds up after all these years, Shazam!!!
Until 4yrs ago. I didn't know that had a series about Captain Marvel. I thought Filmation was the only show. Silly me.
Yep, Captain Marvel hit the live screen in 1941. Superman didn't hit the live screen till 1948.
First time viewing the episodes and yes it is campy but fun too watch and I heard that it was the first talking Superhero Film in Cinema history, wow, what a way too start the Superhero Franchise with one word--SHAZAMMMMM-BAM! WOOO-HOOOO ☺️🎞️🎥🔥👍
Saya suka filem Klasik Hollywood . Terima kasih. Salam Sejahtera dari Malaysia.
Salam. Dr. Singapore...
Entertaining hooked have to keep watching
Just watched the final thrilling episode, yes some cultural norms are outdated and clunky but that final speech by CM.....That is a world I am on board with.... Thanx AAP U make lockdown a little easier. Dx
Excelente recuerdo gracias...
In my 70's too. This was a time of innocence .
I must say this was very enjoyable. The only annoying thing is both Billy and Cap acted like dunces at times. But the production values of this series far exceeded those of the Superman serial. I found that surprising.
Yeah, he has the wisdom of Solomon but the IQ of Whitey.
Who needs door handles or even try 'em when you've got Captain Marvel🤪, just shoulder charge 'em💥that'a boy..
This Captain Marvel movie/serial is better than any new "Shazam" movie.
The origin here is better than the comic books, and seems like it could have happened.
Billy is 25 years old instead of a child.
Captain Marvel is a "man" and not a man child like the new movie.
This Captain Marvel kills the bad guys.
The flying scenes are very good. The action is good.
I used the watch the series in the movie theater on Saturday mornings at the Linwood Theater in Detroit in the early 60s. They would show one episode every week.
I liked all chapters.... but in a way had a hard time keeping up with "who was who."
I mean aside from Billy, Whitey, Betty and the Native Guide everyone is an older guy 👴 in a suit! Super Easy with Captain Marvel and the 🦂 Scorpion 🦂 at least.
Super cool effects 😎 👌.
Those must have been "permanent press" suits. They never wrinkled, even with fights, jumping out of cars, being tied up, etc. Same for the "stain proof" white shirts & permanently staying in place ties.
These are quite a bit of fun. The famous cliffhanger endings for Republic serials still work very well. It is easy to imagine how thrilling this would have been for audiences in the '40s.
A little late but I don’t really think they were watching movies and what not because of WW2
Actually during world War 2, because of gas rationing, and various other shortages, movies were about the only entertainment available. At the height of world War 2 about 90 million people a week went to the movies.
@@AtomicAgePictures they can't get 9 people to go
to a movie from Hollyweird today without nothing but
woke violent nasty filthy boring CGI garbage!
well I have now 74 and I remember when I was a teenager that every time there was a movie out that was called science fiction whether it was good bad or indifferent I had to see it and I was reading every science fiction book that I could. I also love Captain marvel. Peter AKA Wally.
Epic
This is better than Shazam for me. Maybe not a story directly from the comic books and the special are primitive but there is a passion to this movie serial. For it’s time this must have been a thrill to see. So thankful this is on CZcams. I am totally hooked on the Adventures of Captain Marvel…
💯👌🏽
"Take cover Betty, this may be serious..."
Betty stands up.
