Flash Gordon: Ming Strikes Back
Фильм және анимация
With Flash Gordon, along with his faithful companions, Dale Arden and Doctor Zarkov, having twice before thwarted his evil plans for conquest of the universe, Ming the Merciless renews his assault on the Earth, this time by coating the inhabited portions of the planet with a deadly dust, which strikes its victims down with the unyielding Purple Death.
Flash, Dale, and Zarkov must journey through the far reaches of space to the forest kingdom of Arboria, on the planet Mongo, to enlist the aid of Prince Barin and his Tree Men, where, with the additional assistance of Queen Fria of Frigia and her soldiers, Flash and his friends must discover a way to put a stop to the Purple Death and disrupt the nefarious plans of Ming and his minions.
This is fan editor Billy Batson's feature length cut of the 1940 public domain serial FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE, with Larry "Buster" Crabbe, Carol Hughes, Charles Middleton, Frank Shannon, and Anne Gwynne.

Buster Crabbe said in a interveiw that Ming Charles Middleman was the whole show and i agee what a great actor he was.
I love Emperor Ming (Charles Middleton) and Buster Crabbe. They were my childhood heroes and best villains. Thanks for keep their memories alive. May they live forever... in our hearts and minds.
This is what a fanedit SHOULD be! Well thought-out, attention to detail/continuity, economy of exposition, and crisp, clear image and sound. WELL DONE!

My friend how do you think George Lucas Steven Spielberg and James Cameron got influence you see when a child is inspired to reach beyond the imagination you don't stop that man you let them expand their brain cells how do you think eon musk t got see this kind of s*** encourage you to go out and expand your mind and start reading up on everything you can get your hands on look at these people man they were all influenced
The flagship of the Space Force should be called the U.S.S Flash Gordon.
Ming is not such a bad fellow.....he just wants to rule the universe .

Can you imagine how hard this would be?! It's difficult enough to be in charge of a country (especially if you want that country to thrive)! Source: Have played Tropico. I sucked at it.

Charles Middleton also starred in many successful Laurel and Hardy movies, and he appeared in a US War Bond movie as Abraham Lincoln.

Very well done,thank you
I WISH SOME VIDEO COMPANY WOULD RESTORE ALL 3 SERIALS AND RELEASE THEM ON BLURAY.
great fan edit clark well done
Quite a bit of music from Frankenstein; even some actors. I love Flash every bit as much as any- thing like it that came afterwards.
Loved those spaceships and their sound
Lucas furiously takes note.
"This is fan editor Billy Batson's feature length cut ..." Shazam!
Why do I feel that I’m watching a science fiction version of The Student Prince in Sherwood Forest?

Dude, it was the 1930s/1940s! This was "'B-Grade' Sci-Fi"! Even back then, the producers of shows like this, had to do a lot of 'Recycling'. As a matter of fact, they practically 'invented the concept. It's where shows like, "Star Trek", learned how to do it. Besides, the music (Franz Liszt's "Les Preludes") was most likely the 'inspiration' for the 'costumes' worn by the cast.
Oh this is where my parents got my name huh?
I don't care what anyone says, the original Princess Aura is a rare and natural beauty. You just know all of her parts are real ! Also, even though the FX are (wonderfully) cheesy, The Purple Death is still much more entertaining than all Star Bores after The Empire Strikes Back !!!

Many of the cues are reused from Universal films such as “The Bride Of Frankenstein” and “The Invisible Man”
Back when spaceships were silver painted wood and pipes.
Nice quality video for 480P. Thanks for the upload😄. Of the three serials this is my least favorite. Jean Rogers (Dale), Richard Alexander (Barin) and Priscilla Lawson (Aura) are sorely missed, as they defined the characters they portrayed. Also, the soundtrack lacks the atmosphere and the excitement of the previous 2 serials' soundtracks, e.g. the use of parts of Franz Waxmans score from the Bride of Frankenstein added so much to the mood of "Trip to Mars" (like the theme played when Dr. Pretorious meets the Frankenstein monster down in the crypts is aptly applied to the Clay People in the caves).

Yes, the soundtrack repeats over and over ad nauseum. The original music in the first two series composed by Franz Waxman was perfect so many ways and is sorely missing. Happily it was used again later in the Bride of Frankenstein.
Old but good fun
Inside the Death Star =the palace
And Ming again has a way out

A Biily Batson fan edition? That's Captain Marvel!
Finally, an un-cut version.
