The Rocketeer (film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • At the climax, when Cliff puts the helmet back on and is about to launch into the sky someone shines a spotlight on him. Of course it doesn't hurt that the American flag is right behind him.
    • "Look! It's the Rocketeer!"
  • Cliff has brought the jetpack to trade for Jenny's life, and he has a question.

Cliff: What's it like working for a Nazi, Eddie? Does he pay you in dollars or reichsmarks?
[...]
Neville: C'mon, Eddie. I'm paying you well. Does it really matter where the money comes from?
Eddie: It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American. I don't work for no two-bit Nazi. Let the girl go!

    • The mobsters proceed to cooperate with federal agents to defeat the Germans that show up.
  • Cliff's debut as the Rocketeer, saving his friend Malcolm at the airshow. And afterwards, he soars through the sky near an airplane, amazing all the people on board.
  • Jenny, an actress, gets kidnapped and actively seduced by her idol. She handles the situation pretty well.

Jenny (after luring him in close so she could brain him with a vase): I finally played a scene with Neville Sinclair.
