The Invisible Man - The Legacy Collection is six hour and twenty - six minutes and was released on DVD on October 19, 2004. Barring Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, you get all five invisible movies: The Invisible Man, The Invisible Man Returns, The Invisible Woman, Invisible Agent, and The Invisible Man's Revenge. The commentary by Rudy Behlmer and the special Now You See Him The Invisible Man Revealed try to do justice to the collection but falls just a tad short. Besides Disc 1 the only the bonus feature to this collection is the movie trailer for the Invisible Agent; none of the other movies come with a trailer to them. Besides what I just wrote this is still a great collection to own. The Invisible Man - The Legacy Collection gets an AAA+++.
The Invisible Man is one hour and eleven minutes long and was released on November 13, 1933. The film is about Dr. Jack Griffin, his first name is never mention in the film, who has develop a formula to make him invisible but the only drawback is he has not discover the formula to cure him. He takes shelter at an Inn in Iping. At the end he wants to be left alone, but that is to no avail. When the policeman and some villagers come to evict him, Griffin reveals his invisibility. Griffin takes shelter in his friend house Dr. Kemp. Kemp calls the police and Griffin finds out and flees. Griffin comes back to kill Kemp. By now Griffin is wanted by the police for numerous killings. In the end Griffin is captured by the police. This film is Claude Rains first United States picture, which plays Dr. Jack Griffin (The Invisible Man). We only see Claude Rains briefly at the end of the movie when he is dying from a gun shot wound and becoming visible once again. During the rest of the film his face is covered in bandages or we only hear his voice. Before blue screen technology was invented the special effects on the invisibility are great. Talk about being creative. This movie was way ahead of its time. There is only one minor flaw in the movie. Since the movie is set in England; Dr. Jack Griffin looks up at a sign that says "Iping ½ mile." England has a metric system so it should have read kilometers. This is by far a great movie to watch and own. I will give The Invisible Man an AAAAA+++++.

The Invisible Man Returns is one hour and twenty-one minutes long and was released on January 12, 1940; almost six years after the original. Vincent Price stars as the Invisible Man. In this movie Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent) is accused of murdering his brother and is set to hang. Dr. Frank Griffin (the brother of Dr. Jack Griffin) goes to visit Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe at his cell to give him the drug to make him invisible. Once invisible, he set offs to find the real killer; who turns out to be his cousin Richard Cobb. In the end we find out that it is new blood that restores Geoffrey back to life. There are some differences in this movie. Monocan was used in the original to make Dr. Jack Griffin invisible; duocaine was used to make Sir Geoffrey Radcliffe invisible. Claude Rains gets top billing in the Invisible Man while Vincent Price gets second billing in the Invisible Man Returns. Also at the end of the movie when Vincent Price is becoming visible we see him for about three minutes. In the Invisible Man when Claude Rains is dying and becoming visible, he gets less then ten seconds of air time. This is an excellent movie to watch and own. The main goof in this movie is whenever we "see" the invisible man there is an outline of his body. The Invisible Man Returns gets an AAA+++.

The Invisible Woman is one hour and twelve minutes long and was released on December 27, 1940. This is the second movie in The Invisible Man series and Virginia Bruce plays the Invisible Woman. The Invisible Woman is not your typical Universal horror movie. The movie was written for laughs only, so there is nothing to be scared about. Besides having a female invisible the main difference between the last two movies and the next two is that a machine is used to the person invisible. The plot of this movie is that a professor has invented a machine to make people invisible and is looking for a test subject. Kitty Carroll answers the newspaper ad and becomes invisible. The machine is stolen by Blackie Cole so he can become invisible and return to the United States. Though they did a good job of trying to make Virginia Bruce look invisible; you can see that they had some trouble. In one scene, you can see her shadow on the wall. Though I was not in stitches, I did have a few laughs. So, I recommend and go ahead a buy the movie. The Invisible Woman gets an B+.

The Invisible Agent is one hour and twenty-one minutes and was released on July 31, 1942. The main plot of this move is the grandson of Frank Griffin has inherited the formula of invisibility and has changed his name to hide his identity. Germen and Japanese agents have entered his shop to persuade Frank to hand over the formula, he escapes however. When Pearl Harbor is bombed Frank goes to work of the United States as an invisible agent. The Invisible Agent makes a few mistakes. When Frank Raymond (played by Jon Hall) is confronted is his shop by German and Japanese spies and revealed he is the grandson of Frank Griffin; says that Frank Griffin was shot down a killed. First that was Jack Griffin in the original Invisible Man and two Frank Griffin is a bachelor in the Invisible Man Returns. Some other trivia also is Jon Hall is the only person to play the Invisible Man in two films. Also Cedric Hardwicke starred in the Invisible Man Returns as well as this movie. The Invisible Agent is part comedy, part propaganda, and part suspense movie. Jon Hall is shown more then the Invisible Man and the Invisible Man Returns put together. The special effects are okay well. I just thought the script was weak and did not live up to the past three invisible movies. The Invisible Agent gets a C from me.

The Invisible Man's Revenge is one hour and eighteen minutes long and was released on June 9, 1944. Unlike the Invisible Man Returns and the Invisible Agent, this does not follow a timeline nor is it a sequel like Frankenstein and the Mummy sequels. The thing that it is shared is the last name Griffin and the movie does not indicate that he is related to Jack or Frank Griffin. Jon Hall makes his second and last appearance as the Invisible Man. Robert Griffin has escape from a mental institution and is on his way to England to get his share of the fortune due to him. When he gets to the home of Lady Irene Herrick and Sir Jasper Herrick, he demands his share and wants it now. Jasper is reluctantly willing to hand it over, but his wife Irene is not. Though it is hinted in the movie that she caused him to loose his memory, she never omits openly. Irene drugs Robert whiskey and convinces Jasper that he is still insane and steals the proof of paper that proves he is equal to half of everything. They dump his body near a river where Roberts almost drowns until he is rescued. In the middle of the movie he finds Dr. Peter Drury who invented an invisible formula. Dr. Drury turns Robert invisible and Robert set out seeking revenge on the family that tried to kill him. End the end Brutus a dog winds up killing the Invisible Man. The story is so-so and the acting is lame. In the end, you wished that Brutus killed Lady Irene Herrick and Sir Jasper Herrick and feel sorry for Robert Griffin. I can only give this movie a C-.
