The Rocketeer soared into theaters on this date 30 years ago and crashed harder than Cliff Secord’s Gee Bee racer.
If we can get follow-ups to The Karate Kid, Highlander, Fletch, Turner and Hooch, The Mighty Ducks, and Three Men and a Baby, The Rocketeer deserves another chance to fly!
The Rocketeer has plenty of followers, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who grew up in the ’90s not liking it.
And while The Rocketeer was certainly toned down to cater to younger audiences, it still felt decidedly grown-up.
