Are you sure the movie wasn't entitled 'Rocketeer'?  I think I saw the same
movie preview (HBO) so I think I'm correct.

I'm pretty certain that certain people are getting some sort of royalty from
this deal.  What I would like to know is, did this idea for the game/movie
come from any book/novel/novella by a prominent author?

I swear I think I saw an add for a book awhile back and said 'Hey!  That looks  like Rocket Ranger!'.

Anyway..
