Mar 17, 2010 - This is NOT a Hammer Film.

Mar 17, 2010 - Your reading comprehension skills ARE adequate. It's not a Republic Serial either. Where did you get the impression that this was a Hammer Film? I thought the video description made it clear.

TheRebel2007 Says:

Mar 18, 2010 - I had seen on some website - I don't remember which - a poster or comic book cover that Hammer Films had commissioned that showed a zeppelin and several bi-planes battleing pterotacyls, the working title of this never produced movie was "Zeppelin v. pterodactyls" with the blurb "This is a Hammer Film."I thought maybe you had seen such poster?

deidzoeb Says:

Mar 18, 2010 - Yes, that's the poster that inspired me to make this mashup. I forgot that it said "This is a Hammer film" right in the corner of it. I thought you were sincerely angry because you expected this video to be a Hammer Film. Sorry.

Jun 16, 2010 - Is it wrong for me to mention that this is phoney? Clever, but phoney.

Sep 1, 2010 - man that would be soooo awesome.

JRBeaman Says:

Sep 1, 2010 - Yeah, tough pet to feed.We could start with the members of Congress.And terrorists, the illegals. We could build free Zeppelin rides for them and toss them out for the pet pterodactyl as lunches. Hey, maybe it would not be that difficult after all.

Thescarydutchman Says:

Sep 2, 2010 - yeah i heard pterodactyles mostly preyed on fish, and the whole finicial sector smells fishy to me so i guess there's lots to feed em there

Sep 6, 2010 - planet bur was good, 20.000 bc with raquel welch has some excellent pterodon scenes by ray harryhausen too.

Oct 18, 2010 - Final score: pterodactyls 1, zeppelin 0. Yeah! Go pterodactyls!When I use DNA to recreate 100 million pterodactyls including giant Quetzalcoatlus, modified to eat people, life will be a whole lot more fun for everybody. I'll train them to drop boulders on cars and use their long beaks to nibble on the corpses of the occupants.Humans will scurry like rats from cover to cover under a sky dark with hungry pterosaurs.

Nov 18, 2010 - SO which serial is the air battle originally from..? That's awesome stuff

deidzoeb Says:

Nov 18, 2010 - The air battle between flying wing and zeppelin are from Dick Tracy, but with clips from other movies (Ace Drummond?) to make it look like several biplanes are detaching from the zep. Click on the text description of this video for a link to the full list of source movies used in this mashup.

Nov 21, 2010 - This is one of the best things I have ever seen on Youtube. thank you for posting this.

Dec 27, 2010 - You've made me happy.

deidzoeb Says:

Apr 22, 2011 - I'm glad you like it, but it's a fake mashup. You can buy or download the full length serials of Dick Tracy and Ace Drummond and other movies that I used to make this.

Jun 26, 2011 - The name of airship is "Potrzebie" which in Polish means " in need". Awesome oldschool SF though

Jjames763 Says:

Jun 28, 2011 - That isn't even remotely what the inside of a Zeppelin looks like. Zeppelins resemble ocean liners or small hotels with a bit of luxury railroad thrown in, not a shitty little airplane cabins with tiny windows. Which is probably what that footage is from.

deidzoeb Says:

Sep 6, 2011 - Sorry, no, this is just a short mashup clip. There was no movie made, although I'm working on some crocheted biplanes and zeppelins as props for music videos, Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls: The Musical. (Original songs, not "Give Me A Wing and a Song" that Ace Drummond sings in this clip.)

deidzoeb Says:

Sep 6, 2011 - It does look like an telephone pole, but I think it's supposed to be a tree. The clip is taken from "The Lost World" and there are scenes where the heroes climb up to that spot and get across a gorge by knocking over the tree and using it as a bridge. (Or one of the dinosaurs knocks over the tree, I can't remember.) You can see the pterodactyl close-up next to that tree trunk around 4:20

NYDurango Says:

Oct 5, 2011 - Great stuff! Have you seen "J-Men Forever"?

davidls11 Says:

Jan 22, 2012 - Damn pterodactyls are the reason we don't have trans-Atlantic zeppelins anymore.

zeppship Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Does anyone know what plane that is attacking the airship? (+ the original story was to have a ww1 airship blow offcourse during a bombing raid, and end up on an unknown island)

deidzoeb Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Those clips are from Dick Tracy (1937), and it's supposed to be some kind of "Flying Wing", similar to the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
