The Legend Of The Lone Ranger
''The Legend of the Lone Ranger'' is a 1981 American Western film that was directed by William A. Fraker and stars Klinton Spilsbury, Michael Horse and Christopher Lloyd. It is based on the story of The Lone Ranger, a Western character created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker. Its producers outraged fans by not allowing previous Lone Ranger actor Clayton Moore to wear the character's mask when making public appearances, and created further bad publicity when it became known that the voice of leading man Klinton Spilsbury's character was dubbed by another actor, James Keach. The film was a huge commercial failure, and Spilsbury has not appeared in any films since. Plot In 1854 in Texas, the outlaw Butch Cavendish (Christopher Lloyd) and his gang of outlaws are chasing a young Comanche boy. He rides into a thicket and falls off his horse and down an embankment. A boy who was already there hides him and the outlaws turn their attention to a small village, and kill everyone e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flash Gordon
Flash Gordon is the protagonist of a space adventure comic strip created and originally drawn by Alex Raymond. First published January 7, 1934, the strip was inspired by, and created to compete with, the already established ''Buck Rogers'' adventure strip. Creation The ''Buck Rogers'' comic strip had been commercially very successful, spawning novelizations and children's toys, and King Features Syndicate decided to create its own science fiction comic strip to compete with it. At first, King Features tried to purchase the rights to the ''John Carter of Mars'' stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs. However, the syndicate was unable to reach an agreement with Burroughs. King Features then turned to Alex Raymond, one of their staff artists, to create the story. One source for Flash Gordon was the Philip Wylie novel ''When Worlds Collide'' (1933). The themes of an approaching planet threatening the Earth, and an athletic hero, his girlfriend, and a scientist traveling to the new planet ...
