The Further Adventures of Stingaree

About This Movie

So, The Further Adventures of Stingaree... it’s this 1917 serial that picks up the thread from the original Stingaree. Directed by Paul Hurst, the pacing is interesting; it’s got that classic serial feel with cliffhangers that keep you wanting more, though both films are now lost to time. The atmosphere is gritty, with a mix of action and crime that really captures that early 20th-century vibe. The practical effects, typical of the era, have this charm to them, and while the performances might not all hit the mark, there’s a certain earnestness in how they bring these characters to life. For collectors, it's a piece of the puzzle that shows the evolution of serial storytelling, even if it’s just a shadow of what was once there.
