There was a very close connection


There was a very close connection between the movie The Rocketeer and the Disney-MGM Studios that originally opened in 1989. In fact, a scene from the movie itself was shot at the theme park back in the days when the Disney Company was still trying to promote the location as an actual production studio for television and film.

Beginning on January 14, 1991, in the final days of production for the film, two weeks of filming was done at the theme park using the theme park’s authentic replica of Grauman’s Chinese Theater as a backdrop. Rather than a necessity to save production costs on building such a set in Hollywood, the Disney Company may have purposely included the scene to emphasize that the film was partially shot at the new theme park.

After all, as part of the Summer 1991 promotion for the film, a live Rocketeer lifted off by jet pack and flew out and above the theater courtyard during each evening’s presentation of the “Sorcery in the Sky” fireworks show. Even today, on the left side of the forecourt with the cement handprints and autographs of other actual celebrities, visitors can find the boots and "blast marks" of The Rocketeer in cement, reminiscent of a scene from the actual film.

Very prominently displayed on the left side wall is a Rocketeer helmet and below it is a rocket jet pack.

In addition, there is a framed newspaper with a large headline of the Rocketeer’s first public appearance, a pennant for Bigelow’s Air Circus (where the Rocketeer first appeared) and a replica of the jet pack’s schematics dated October 15, 1938 (the same Saturday date as the Air Circus in the movie and the paper is covered with equations and technical terminology). Moving closer to the posted menus on either side of the location will also reveal the blueprints for the rocket jet pack behind the items listed for sale.
Many versions of the Rocketeer helmet were made for the film because, in those days, before CGI became common, the stunts were performed by live stunt men or through the use of miniature models. The helmet showcased at Peevy’s is obviously a stunt helmet because it is wider and has larger eye lenses.
