Left off the list--possibly deliberately.

From Alpha-- THE HURRICANE EXPRESS (first released last year)

From Image--MONARCH OF THE MOON--Brand new 6 chapter serial/spoof.
Not the greatest, but it still counts! Comes in color and black and
white versions.

From the Serial Squadron:

KING OF THE MOUNTIES VOL. 1--The first 5 chapters. Vol. 2 is supposed
to be forthcoming.
THE LONE RANGER RIDES AGAIN--Subtitle free, with chapters
reconstructed and all notes/signs in English. Includes commentary
from Serial Squadron members (including yours truly)
THE LOST SERIAL COLLECTION--Chapters and clips from various silent
serials that do not exist in whole.
SIGN OF THE WOLF--Best copy of this serial available. No idea why
this one was ignored.
ZORRO RIDES AGAIN--Again, no idea why this one was ignored.

A couple additional notes re: Squadron releases:

FLASH GORDON is not available. It's the feature version, ROCKET
SHIP. Includes a commentary from one of the Squadron members, Ace
Drummond.

THE VANISHING LEGION is NOT censored. There is one and only one
version of the serial available now, which includes chapter one with
and without the kissing scene. So the need for a WARNING! is not
there...it's simply a case of Much Ado About Nothing.

ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL is not available--nor has it been for a
long time. And btw, when it was available, only one chapter was
tinted--as a bonus. But the whole thing was there otherwise.

Almost all of the Squadron releases have bonus material, including
aforementioned commentaries (HOLT, ROCKET SHIP, VANISHING LEGION, and
THE LONE RANGER RIDES AGAIN), cast bios, trailers, etc.

TAILSPIN TOMMY IN THE GREAT AIR MYSTERY, MYSTERY OF THE RIVER BOAT,
and ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION are true DVD--not DVD-R.

The suggested information has been noted and added for the next update
of the list.

The list is maintained without any purpose other than information. It
is intended to be reference work for historical research and ease in
purchasing.

Missing information simply means that the information was not
available to the compilers at the time the list was posted.

Anyone reading the list carefully will note that a sincere and open
request for additions and corrections to the list appears each and
every time. There is a perpetual list of questions especially about
foreign serials, alternate versions, region coded versions, etc. that
no one ever answers. Perhaps the Serial Squadron can begin to supply
that information as well as information about their own releases.

It is also helpful to remember that serials are often purchased second
hand or "used." In the case of the censored version of "The Vanishing
Legion," if anyone can supply proof that all released copies of that
version have been recalled and destroyed, we'd be pleased to remove
the "caveat" along with an explanation of how the censored disks were
recalled and destroyed. However, this is intended as an historically
accurate reference list, and it would be useful to know that there are
two and possibly three different release versions of the Serial
Squadron "Vanishing Legion." Some collectors might want to purchase
BOTH versions for the sake of completeness.

Anyone with additions and corrections to the list other than those
relating to "taste" are sincerely requested to post them as a followup
each time the updated listing is made available.

Thank you!

Serial Murmerer and others.

I'm fairly certain I've seen this list elsewhere with it's caveats,
and you're not the one who has originated it. You simply copy ad
infinitum the list and toss in on occassion when a new item is
mentioned. However, you clearly have not done your homework on this
list. The listing of Captain Marvel from the Serial Squadron is a
very clear example.
And the information was very much available. All one had to do was go
to Alpha and type in serials and viola--THE HURRICANE EXPRESS. I have
to take a closer look at your Alpha list, but I'm pretty certain
you're missing other titles they've released. Same thing with the
Serial Squadron.

A complete list should be just that...complete.

While I'm here, I might point out other titles you've missed.

For instance, Sinister Cinema has quite a few titles available,
including the best copy of KING OF THE WILD you'll ever see.

Other Serial Squadron titles you chose to ignore:

THE FIGHTING MARINES
LOST CITY OF THE JUNGLE
RADIO PATROL
RUSTLERS OF RED DOG

I'm sure I'll find quite a number of other titles that were ignored.
I haven't gone over your Alpha listing with a fine tooth comb, but I'm
pretty sure you're missing quite a few titles there as well.

Question:

Is LOST CITY OF THE JUNGLE the same as or different from

Lost City of the African Jungle - 1920 - Silent Serial - 4 Chapter
"condensation" is titled "The Jungle Princess" - much of this serial
is currently "lost." This version "reconstructs" the story. Apparently
colored to approximate original tinting/toning. (07/01/05)

Thanks.

editing this information and spreading it, it is up to you to make

No, the people who fed you this information are well aware that it is
incorrect and that titles were ignored. For what reason, I won't even
begin to guess.

Please feel free to post any other additions that you are aware of.

Don't worry. I will. By the end of the week, I will have the
complete lists for Alpha, Sinister Cinema (exactly WHY they don't rate
listings on your list but bootleggers do goes beyond me), and the
Serial Squadron.

I don't own many of the disks in the list and have no way of knowing
the "quality" of the transfers except when people supply them.

Then perhaps you should remove the "quality" rankings. As it is, only
titles from certain companies get rankings while titles from other
companies do not. Of course, you could also do some research and get
some of these titles for yourself so that you could rank them. Again,
that comes under the heading of research.

And before the usual crowd chimes in, for once I am not merely coming
to the defense of the Squadron. The appalling omissions from other
companies as well as the Squadron while bootleggers get very detailed
listings blows my mind. In particular, the blowing off of Sinister
Cinema amazes me. The SC DVD-R of KING OF THE WILD is well documented
on certain sites as The best print--hell about the only viewable
print--of that serial ever. It's continued omission from this list
makes me wonder what game the compilers are playing. Do they only
bother to list companies/people that send them freebies and to hell
with anybody else? Or is it just plain laziness? Either way, it's
not good. Not one bit.

No one has ever sent me any freebies of anything! LOL

I was referring to the originator of the list.

Want to send me some?

I don't even own all of these and probably never will.

This is not a business, it's just for fun and the few (other) people
(besides you, apparently) who feel the same way.

We're all looking forward to the book you should write and publish. It
will be great, I'm sure. No one is stopping you from doing it. Try
MacFarland (sp?) They publish books like that and I don't think anyone
has ever done one on serials.
