Alternate Rocketeer 2 Poster

The original Coffy poster had a tagline in the upper left corner. Since the poster was only onscreen for a second, I cut out the tagline because people's eyes only have a few seconds to digest what they're seeing. Seemed easier to just keep it basic. But this is addressing the famed "fire too close to the pants" issue that bugs some people about the Rocketeer.

This...is...perfect!

Jack Houck

Awesome!

Sold!

Who knows whether general audiences would care, but I remember the Rocketeer from my childhood and I would go see this sequel.

A. Lord Wolf

I would see this movie!

StarMan2112

Legit a really good idea. When Hollywood comes calling, remember the literal hundreds of pennies that I gave you.

Dave M

"2 Rock 2 Teer"...?

Manuel Johnen

Excellent Sid Haig appearance, though don’t miss Big Bill Smith and Fred Williamson in “Sky Honky of Gor.”

Diego Corazón

...brings a Rocke...tear into my eye...

Marvin Falz

Tbh, I hope RLM decides at some point to make another feature film.

Marvin Falz

Next RLM film? Do it, do it, do it, do it

Seeing Pam Grier here makes me so happy...

CDB Paine

Totally missing the point

People made fun of me for liking the movie because they said he would just catch on fire. Completely missing the point.

Awesome poster, but I think Jenny should be the Rocketeer - or rather, the leader of the Rocketeers since that would be the title: Rocketeers. Here's the pitch. It's 1943-ish. Cliff had enlisted in the Army Air Force after Pearl Harbor and was killed in action in the Pacific. Jenny is in Hollywood doing propaganda pictures, which she is not enjoying but everyone says it's helping the war effort. She wants to do something more direct to help out in the war in Cliff's memory. She has the plans for the rocket pack, but no way to do anything with it, until one day she ends up on the same movie set with actress Hedy Lamarr (the legendary inventor of a torpedo guidance system) who becomes her mentor. Together they build the rocket pack, and recruit a squad of female pilots who had formerly been relegated to ferrying B-17 bombers from Seattle to Hawaii & Europe. They demo the Rocketeers to Army brass but they get skepticism and sexism, until Howard Hughes steps in and sponsors them. Around this time they get intelligence that the Nazis have built a nuclear bomb and are planning to use the Me 264 Amerikabomber (prototypes of which actually existed in real life) to nuke New York City. It's up to the Rocketeers to stop them!

It's unique, I'll give him that.

You should sell prints of the goofy posters... I would totally buy the Pinocchio one.

Fidel Spears

I'd pre-order this, now.

I want Mike's Rocketeer sequel pitch to happen so badly.
