tavm Review of Flying Wild

Flying Wild (1941)

Flying Wild wasn't too bad an East Side Kids adventure

[6/10 · 20 June 2015]

In this East Side Kids entry, the gang get mixed up with a flying ambulance which is later revealed to be a front for some enemy plans. I guess most of the comedy was supposed to come out of various malapropisms said by the gang but I didn't think much of that was funny. The one scene I really thought earned a laugh was the one after Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison had inhaled some gas and then got off the plane and started to basically "dance" in slow motion! I also liked a scene where Peewee (David Gorcey, brother of Leo) saved Leo Gorcey and his friend's life though he himself got injured. Oh, and seeing the car turn over at the beginning-which turned out to be real and not planned-was also good for a thrill. In summary, Flying Wild is not too bad especially during the chase at the end.
