Bob Gale, creator of the shorts, along with Commando Cody, the character who inspired them.
Status: Lost
Commando Cus was a series of short, amateur films made in the 1970's by Bob Gale, co-writer and producer of the Back to the Future trilogy, before he started his professional film career, along with his friend, Richard Rosenberg.
Little is known about the films, other than they were shot on Super 8mm film, and they were parodies of the 1950's movie serial hero Commando Cody.
At least one was exhibited at MidAmeriCon, a science fiction convention in 1976, and Rosenberg has shown portions of another short at several amateur filmmaker meetings.
Apart from this, they haven't been shown or mentioned since then.
