Are there any regular 8mm cameras that run at 70fps?

Sounds like a fun project, Brad. Once, I shot some super 8 footage of a female band playing in a park - visuals turned out nice though there was no sound!

I am getting quite excited about regular 8mm. There's something about the mechanical nature of these cameras that is quite appealing. And I have to admire their ruggedness and durability. I think these cameras, and the 16mm Bell & Howell, were well suited to the rigours of filming during WW2. You could just about use them as weapons if a soldier ran out of ammunition!

Actually it was more so the weight of the mandatory standard issue "portable" 35mm cameras that killed WW2 era combat photographers.

It was literally a deadly occupational hazard.
