The Rocketeer (1991)

The Rocketeer was created in 1982 as an homage to the heroes of World War I. It wasn’t a hit with the fans, and its special effects haven’t aged well, but it’s effective as a throwback to early comic books. And yes, it involved Nazis!

Directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger), it was a family-friendly movie in the sense that everyone could watch it without a barrage of questions from the kids.

In 2016, Disney announced that they planned to reboot the property with a different character taking on the Rocketeer’s mantle (or jetpack). However, aside from various rumors about directors, the studio hasn’t made an official announcement.

We guess Disney’s too busy with its other franchises.
