'''''The Rocket Boy''''' is a sci-fi comedy broadcast on TV in 1989. It is a parody of other superhero films, with a semi-competent superhero trying to defeat the villain, Hawkhead.
Hawkhead is trying to hatch eggs. To keep them warm, he harvests human hair from Earth by bringing the hair off random people. After a few minutes of figuring out what is going wrong and trying to keep his secret identity stable, the Rocket Boy finally manages to go after Hawkhead by following the trail of hair.

* [[Accidental Truth]]: Hawkhead guarded his lair with a record player that played scary sounds. To sound impressive, Rocket Boy told Susan that it was a [[Stock Dinosaurs|four legged beast with fangs, a large spiky tail]] and is orange. Seconds later, that monster appears, but [[Action Girl|Susan steals the kill by grabbing Rocket Boy's weapon]].
* [[All Webbed Up]]: When the team is held hostage, they're held in place with hair or newspaper.

* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Three instances. The first case was Robert Boyd taunting Hawkhead about his clumsy wings before being abducted. At the video store, one hostage called Hawkhead "butterfingers" after he dropped a glass, causing Hawkhead to demonstrate that he can lift hair off his head. The [[Ventriloquism]] dummy later said that he hopes that Hawkhead doesn't drop him.

* [[Flying Car]]: Requires a trip through a car wash to change from ground and space-flight modes.
* [[The Force]]: Palimon tells the Rocket Boy to use "The Power" on Hawkhead. Not that the Rocket Boy knows what it is, and Mr. Pim biting Hawkhead when told to use the power didn't help teach it either. It ends up as an [[Eleventh
* [[Huge Holographic Head]]: Palimon speaks to Rocket Boy using one. Hawkhead can pull Palimon through the holographic projection, and wrap him up with hair.
* [[I Ate What?]]: Jupiter Juice, a neon-green drink found in the cooler. Also known as windshield fluid.
* [[Merchandise
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: The Rocket Boy Helmet is a bit too loud, even for the powers it provides.
