      In chapter 1 when Larry is fighting the gorilla, the gorilla grabs the saber and breaks it, but the sound when it breaks is wood, not steel, and when it hits the floor, the sound is also of wood.

    6/10

    Stuntman David Sharpe should have received top billing.

    Typical Republic action serial. Stuntman Dave Sharpe is clearly visible in fight scenes involving Clayton Moore. There is a slight facial resemblance from a distance, but Sharpe was smaller in build than Moore. William Whitney, the director, was a master at staging fights, chases and "cliffhangers."
