| Just Imagine | comment |
A big-budget Science Fiction musical comedy film from 1930, featuring the most impressive special effects seen up to that time. The animated model of New York City was large enough to fill a zeppelin hangar and cost a quarter million dollars to build — and this during the Great Depression!Unfortunately, it was a complete flop.In the distant future of 1980, marriages must be approved by the courts, based on one's value to society. J-21 (John Garrick) can't get permission to wed the beautiful LN-18 (Maureen O'Sullivan), as his rival, the wealthy and arrogant MT-3 (Kenneth Thomson), is more socially prominent. J-21 appeals the decision and is given six months to distinguish himself. As scientist Z-4 (Hobart Bosworth) has just invented a "Rocket Plane" spacecraft, J-21 volunteers to be the first man to fly it to Mars. His anachronistic friend Single-0 (El Brendel) stows away on the Interplanetary Voyage in order to provide Plucky Comic Relief.Not related to the comic series by Stan Lee. | |

| Just Imagine / int_393ec3f9 | comment |
Zeerust: New York is the standard Mega City with multi-lane elevated roadways, suspension bridges hung between towering megastructures, and personal aircraft buzzing from building to building. Transoceanic airliners are dirigibles. One prediction they get right is that paper towels will be replaced by hot air dryers. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water | |
| Just Imagine / int_4acee1ed | comment |
Fish out of Temporal Water: A man in the present day (e.g. 1930), played by vaudeville comic El Brendel, is killed by lightning on a golf course, and revived by scientists fifty years later purely as an experiment. They give him the name Single-0 (Brendel's standard character was named "Ollie"), then forget about him. Fortunately the kind-hearted J-21 is there to take Single-0 under his wing. | |

Zeppelins from Another World | |
| Just Imagine / int_6b4f4350 | comment |
Zeppelins from Another World: Subverted. The skies of 1980 are filled with zeppelins, and come off as an example of this trope to modern audiences, but at the time, zeppelins really were used as passenger carriers, so the atmosphere they evoked for contemporary viewers would have been a futuristic one rather than an alternate history. | |

Punny Name | |
| Just Imagine / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: Most of the character names are puns of real names and words, such as J (Jay), LN (Ellen) and MT (Empty). An explicit joke is made of the name "U-2" being confused for "you, too". | |

Eternal Prohibition | |
| Just Imagine / int_97e55231 | comment |
Eternal Prohibition: The persistent rumor that Prohibition was going to be repealed 'next year' is spoofed by the fact that it's still going in 1980 (and still rumored to be on the verge of repeal). Prohibition was eventually repealed in 1933. | |

Future Copter: The personal airplanes that have replaced cars all have vertical propellers mounted inside their wings so they can hover in midair, allowing their occupants to chat or burst into song. Interestingly, this was before any real ducted-fan aircraft had ever been built. | |
