CAPTAIN CELLULOID VS. THE FILM PIRATES
RARE 4 CHAPTER SERIAL
1966

Shot on a shoestring in 1966 in the "wilds" of northern New Jersey!    

This fun little low budget film was made by classic film buffs for classic serial buffs. If you're a fan of classic serials or vintage no-budget film making, than you really owe it to yourself to watch this. Its both hilarious and lots of fun and
manages to be incredibly charming during its short running length of around an hour. The fact that the film was made with absolutely no budget by earnest and enthusiastic film fans makes it all the more impressive. They were obviously making this for their own entertainment and that’s what makes it such unique viewing. Very rare, but well worth having for the serious collector.

The film was shot as a serial (in four consecutive episodes, each ending in a "cliffhanger" for Captain Celluloid) and the whole thing lasted less than an hour.
The fight scenes between the two protagonists remain as exciting as the classic Republic efforts. It was mostly done for free by all concerned on days off from various jobs in NYC.

"We had fun, we were actually making movies, and watch out for that hypnotic ray - it paralyzed me every time!"

PLOT:
The film tells a story of how Captain Celluloid of the Film Institute has to track down the nefarious Master Duper. The Duper plans to hijack shipments of classic films (such as "The Big Parade" and "Greed") which are on their way from private vaults to museums, duplicate them, and sell them to private film buffs the world over.
