Customer Reviews of Manhunt in the African Jungle / Movie
One of the best I was four years old when I saw my first serial. That serial was The Masked Marvel. In my opinion is that this was one of my close second favs. I really enjoy the plots in the classic movies that to put it bluntly the ones today lack. I personly think that if our movies now a days had characters like Rex Bennet or Chang or Piar (sp) Our movies would do twice as much as they are now.

serials were never known for great acting, writing or much of anything else. However there are excetions to the rule, and this is one of them. The plot may not be the freshest, and the nazis are about as stereotypical as they come, but some of the ideas that the writers came up with are quite amusing. I especially enjoyed the fake German graveyard in Morrocco loaded with explosives. Also, predictable as every fight scene is, the stunt coordinators and cameramen went out of their way to let everything look just a little bit different (my dad's got about forty serials, and Manhunt has by far the best fights of any of them, it's also in the top five for most amusing cliffhangers). No other serial has the actors fighting at the camera (pardon the grammar, but there's no other way to put it). The sets are also quite remarkable in that a large number of items are placed around for the actors to use. Again don't be looking for a great story or good acting. Just sit back and enjoy what passed for gratuitous violence in the 1940s. It's definitely a winner.
Manhunt in the African Jungle
This is a typical cliffhanging serial with plenty of action and even good creativity, but "someone forgot the jungle". Its painfully obvious this was shot in the foothills surrounding L.A. and unfortunately every episode winds up in in the same old fistfight, usually between "wolf" the Nazi spy and Rod Cameron, the American hero, not to mention the spear chucking arabs, who also become routine and who are dispatched by the dozen, usually accidentally, by their own kind, during the struggle for the gun during fist fights. Okay, but no prize!
