Trivia:
The reproduction of the Gee Bee racer flown by Cliff Secord is currently on display at the Museum Of Flight in Seattle, WA. The original Gee Bee this aircraft was based on was painted in the same color scheme as the one used in the movie, however the original was named the "City of Springfield" and was flown by pilot Lowell Bayles. Bayles flew barefoot, as he said it gave him a better feel of the rudder. He was killed flying this airplane while making a record speed attempt in December 1931. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Cliff says, "How do I look?", the chinstrap on his helmet is undone, but immediately afterwards, when Peabody says, "Like a hood ornament," it is fastened. moreMovie Connections:

I liked this movie for the same reasons most people do.
It illustrates that Hollywood can make a user friendly movie when it sets it's mind to it. The movie was reasonably successful, so there was no reason not to copy the formula over and over again, just like they do with so many others. I'm sorry they chose not to do it. Since Stallone, Willis, Norris, and company have pretty much passed into history, I find that the new breed of action heroes like Vin Diesel (do you believe that name?) all blend together. On the odd occasion that I watch one of these mindless bombs, my eyes start to glaze over. Kind of like looking at a kaleidoscope on acid. No story. No identifiable characters, no background, no nothing - except explosions, car chases, splattered guts and so on. The Rocketeer may be a cartoon, but it's a cartoon with a heart.
