May his awesomeness never end - Part 2 (some videos)

And since 75 years is enough to garner two posts, I'm going forward with it by posting a couple of Doc Savage related videos.

First up a 2 minute documentary about Lester Dent the creator of Doc Savage:

Yes, I know he wasn't Steinbeck but still to turn out that much writing a month is pretty darn impressive.

But I have a weakness for the pulp writers anyway.

Next a promo for the Doc Savage movie with Ron Ely:


Man that is making me wish it was on DVD. Yeah, not a good movie, but still kind of silly fun.

Next the comic fight scene from the movie with Doc versus the Captain:


note how Doc demonstrates his mastery of all the fighting arts.

Finally, where would we be without THE SPEECH!


Superman, doesn't have a speech. Batman doesn't have a speech.

Avatar: The Hoff. Who has a speech, but he mimes it.

I loved this cheesy movie! Granted I was 12 when it came out...I ended up collecting about 50 or 60 of the books afterward, so it accomplished something good.

There's something about that movie. You know you shouldn't quite enjoy it, but somehow I still found it fun.

It got me to read some of the novels too back then. But only a more modest selection. A dozen of so of them.

Fighting styles assigned by cue cards! "Dosey Do and Promenade!"

I disagree with the basic premise, however. Surly, brusque, even ill-mannerered - but Savage? I don't think so.
