An Action Packed 12 Chapter Serial!

Radar Men From The Moon (1951), one of the last of the Republic serials, follows Commando Cody, Sky Marshall of the Universe (George Wallace) as he attempts to foil the evil Retik's plans for invading the Earth.

Thanks in part to stock footage from previous Republic serials, such as the excellent flying suit scenes from King Of The Rocket Men (1949), Radar Men manages to pack plenty of action into its 12 chapters.

Production began in October, 1951, with shooting at (and around) the Republic lot.For scenes on the Moon, Retik's home base, the cast, crew and director Fred C. Brannon journeyed north to Red Rock Canyon.Supporting George Wallace in that cast were Roy Barcroft as Retik and Clayton Moore as Graber, a hood on Retik's sinister payroll.

Radar Men From The Moon was especially tough on Wallace.He ran around the desert in a leather jacket and bullet-shaped helmet, using a trampoline to simulate Cody's rocket-power takeoffs.And though some of his stunts were handled by Tom Steele, he still managed to have his nose broken by Clayton Moore.All in a day's work at Republic Pictures.
