Dude, I would so own that on DVD if they had. That would have freakin' rocked. Matter of fact, who owns the rights to that, I wonder...?
My heart is broken by the lost opportunity.
UPDATE (10:30 PM): Nathan, from Polybloggimous, has pointed out that I was mistaken! Zeppelin v. Pterodactyls was, in fact, a Republic movie serial from 1936! And what a serial, too! The cast of Zeppelin v. Pterodactyls includes Bela Lugosi, John Wayne, Noah Beery, and the ageless Terrance Stamp as Captain Nemo! (And I'm fairly certain that the young actor who says "Mammy" during the course of the below clip is none other than Patrick St. Hubbins, the father of legendary Thamesmen bassist/vocalist David St. Hubbins! The Thamesmen, for those who don't know, is one of the best bands-you've-never-heard-of in music history, a band that combined the melodiousness of The Beatles with the vicious snarkiness of early Rolling Stones. Try to find a copy of Give Me Some Money And Eight Other Hits By The Thamesmen! for a solid classic of sixties British pop, or better yet the hard-to-get follow-up, Well, If You Don't Have Any Money Could You At Least Make Me A Sandwich Then?)

Vince: hm, yeah, it looks like access to the movie poster image is being restricted for some reason. It can be seen at the originating website, which is linked in the first sentence of the post.

Evildoers.
Now I must go view the serial while waiting for the next story segment. Which is far more fun than working.
