Next episode: • Flash Gordon: The Tunn...
For me Flash Gordon turns the clock back over 70 yrs to the start of the 1950's when most people did not have a TV, I would look forward to going to out local cinema each week to watch Flash Gordon in action. he never disappointed us. It was pure unadulterated escapism that has never been bettered.
This was made in 1936.
@@AdamTaylor-g5pyes it was, but this serial films were re-issued during the 50's, in cinemas around the world. George Lucas watched this films, Flash Gordon inspired Star Wars.
I don't doubt your theatrical experience but movie serials rapidly declined during the 50's primarily because of television. Many serials, B-westerns, etc, were sold to local stations where a new generation of young fans ate them up. But hey, what a joy it must have been to see Buster Crabbe on the big screen!
@@antonioguamil3275 GREAT CATCH. Thank you !
@@AdamTaylor-g5p *Contemporary to the Alex Raymond original comic strip.
flash Gordon was by far the most ART DECO tv series and Comic book :)
The subtitles cracked me up at 6:12, _"... but he got pissed off."_
The 1939 Buck Rogers serial is also really good. Buster Crabbe also played the titular hero in that
And Buster Crabbe did a cameo in the 1979 Buck Rogers series opening episode as Colonel Gordon - telling the 500 year old Buck 'I was flying since before you were born.'!
maybe if you're old. Buck rogers, for me, as some one not 40+ buck rogers was only good when Daphy Duck did it, duck rogers. I wonder what it would look like today if it were actually good.
in the generation of reboots, if they haven't tried rebooting, it really wasn't good. But to each their own, whatever that means. As there are millions that think its ok to be racist or sexist...so even that isn't accurate.
Let's remember.
Without Doctor Zarkov ;
No Rocket, No Space Trip, No Counter Measures For Ming's Devices
MAD SCIENTISTS RULE !!
@gringott12 Unlike you who never gets it anywhere else ?
Zarkov is not a "mad scientist"......he is a "mannnnnnnnnn of science"...with a perfectly positioned ROCKET SHIP that no doubt has a secret passage!
Dr. Hubert Farnsworth agrees!
I'm 77 now, we used to watch these films at the Saturday matinees at the local cinema in the 50's.
if this is what played today, no one would be watching movies. up to 1980 there was like 3 TV companies. Took til the 1980s when they lost their monopoly and we started getting some decent programming
Qué impresionante, ciencia ficción en 1936!!!
Debe haber sido de las primeras series que abordaron este género, si no la primera. Me matan los efectos especiales. En esa época era todo muy artesanal, no se contaba con la ayuda de las computadoras que tenemos hoy, y había que ingeniárselas para mostrar en la pantalla lo que se escribía en los comics y en las novelas.
Todo un clásico que supimos conocer en los '80 en el programa Función Privada, los sábados a la noche, que lo pasaba en blanco y negro original. Me trajo lindos recuerdos.

Princess Aura was quite the dish!
It's truly eye-opening to think that EVERY iguana that starred in this episode is now dead.
Please
Never delete this video
A True Action Hero ⭐️
WHAT THEY SAID ! AGREE 💯% & then some.
i love the naivete. always loved flash gordon as a kid
I love Flash Gordon, I never get sick of rewatching it.
it's great isn't it?
Not with those colours 😂
yep, that's no V II rocket, pal !
@paulconway384 The color is dream like and adds to the strangeness. I love it. I hate normal representational art. Fuck that shit. Plenty enough of that boring trash everywhere you look. It's like laughing at a star fish because it doesn't swim like a guppie. I usually don't care for colonization and find it tacky. But this process for specificly these fantastic literature based serials is a marriage made in heaven . Looks like a painted black and white photo, it's perfect.
Normal color sucks anyway. I would distort the film to look unusual even if it didn't serve a supposed purpose. I watch this all day constantly now. Most of the history of film can go and I'll take this instead at this point. Fuck Casablanca and 8 1/2 or whatever you think you've got, this is much more satisfying.
Definitely with these colors only.
Loved watching it as a kid. They played it for a time on PBS.
It's obviously old and dated F/X wise, but I think it's legit action packed and a good way to get the fans ready for more. The powers that be need to bring back serials.
Everything old is new again.....
This was the first “funny bad” film (several episodes) I ever showed to my children - and they loved it!😂😂 Still laughing about it years later…
Is that a Tosca reference?:)
@@ThatRaggedyDoctor Script to screen adaptations. It's never a straight line telling just how they'll turn out or be received.
I'm 58 now and my parents let us stay up when i was 8 yrs old and watch on Fri/Sat nite at 11pm thru the summers, watched all the episodes and it was just magic! And leaving it in BW is just the beauty of the 1930s.
Go Ming the Merciless! Thanks for sharing!
I loved Buster Crabbe's cameo in the 1979 Buck Rogers series as 'Colonel Gordon'.
I used to watch that 70s Buck Rogers....cool show, except for Twiki...Erin was great. Do you recall which episode Buster was in?
@@dalecomixcollectibles137 It was one of the two part episodes ... Planet of the Slave Girls. He's in the second episode in the final space battle and has a nice exchange with Gil Gerard.
@@briandrake5464 Thanks for the info.
Me too!
Buster was also portrayed as"Colonel Flash Gordon"on the kids storytelling LP"The Official Adventures Of Flash Gordon".
Better effects than any recent marvel movie
Beautiful colorized job! Buster Crabbe, almost played Superman for Republic! But was cancelled!! Jean Rogers was gorgeous a a blonde! Made her real sexual in this Serial!!!
Ming's daughter had chronic lower back pain...
I watched this in a theater in Elgin, Il. in the early 60's Don't know why it's "colorized" as the original B&W was just perfect
I followed the Flash Gordon reruns in the 70's on Swedish TV (I am Danish). I developed a long lasting love for science fiction - and learned Swedish reading the subtitles❤️
Jean Rogers and Priscilla Lawson = ❤
As a kid attending the 7¢ Saturday matinees in the ‘40s, I was enthralled by these serials. Now, they seem utterly ridiculous, but make me smile broadly. I’m a fan of colorization of historical images, but it actually detracts from my memories of these films.
I'm guessing no iguunas or any other lizards were harmed during the making of this movie. Thank you very much for allowing me to view this. =]
15:48 Priscilla Lawson IS awesome -
20:17 Oh my...
@@NoahNobody 😍
The very first one! Fantastic, luv it! And colorized, too! My late mother was a huge fan, and would love this! Thanks for posting!
🙄😖🤪
Al igual que yo. Pues mi madre en su niñes, lo veia todos los dias domingos en el cine del pueblo.
Yeah
“snap crackle and pop” said the Rocketship! I guess it needs a tune-up 😂😂
I love this so much. It’s like a kid made it professionally with the iguanas 😅😂
Nowadays there are no more serials before the main show in movie theaters. I watched many of them in reruns back in the sixties on Brazilian television. Thank you to Cult Cinema for bringing us this pearl of the old days.
This is back then
Better than anything Hollywood can produce today.
I don’t know. Dr Phil is pretty good😂😂😂
Yes man. Music, series, movies... in my country too is this o fact real.
@@600wheel Dr. Phraud can kiss the smelliest part of my Be Hind.
@@pH7screwtube I guess that went right over your head. I find it funny how people in TH-cam comments sections look for confrontation before they look for a joke. Read it slower you’ll notice a pun first but then read everything and you might get the joke and if not don’t worry I wasn’t sticking up for Dr. Phil I can’t stand the guy
@@600wheel I guess you did not understand my post........ Go back and read it.
News flash........ I was actually backing your post........ Seriously now. How did you think I was somehow opposing your obviously bad opinion of that charlatan?
"I find it funny how people in TH-cam comments sections look for confrontation before they look for a joke" ..... No confrontation. Just a person agreeing with you that Dr Phraud is a joke. But you were quick to pull the trigger on assuming. It is sad that someone I agree with can behave in such a manner.
Shared this to my 79 year old Dad. He LOVED it!
I forgot to turn on the oxygen. NO NEED TO WORRY
I have to say the idea that you can just bail out the aeroplane if the ride is a bit rough is amazing. When did oxygen masks replace parachutes as the preferred option? Can we bring the parachutes back? 😆
this was the stuff of my childhood on the Telly at about 8.30 in the morning till the modern shows came on at 9 onwards.
never seen it colourised, looks gorgeous !
The planet rushing to earth looks suspiciously like a big ball fashioned out of masking tape !
It's amazing how close the 1980 version came to the original.
Loved watching Flash on Sunday mornings as a kid
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to jump out of the plane at any time. You'll find complimentary parachutes under each seat. Thanks for flying Southwest Airlines."
This is wonderful! Sorry to say that all I can visualize is the soft corn version Flesh Gordon.
En El Salvador era una serie de episodios......y quedaban en capítulos...... cómo olvidar esos tiempos infantiles....... Gracias por compartirlos....
For a project from the 30s, it hasn't aged so badly, just the creatures, but it's understandable due to the limitations of the time.
When I was a kid I used to watch Flash Gordon all the time. When I became an adult I came across a video called Flesh Gordon and enjoyed it just as much.
OMG. This Episode is as close in age to the 1980s Flash Gordon film, as we are !
I feel so old now....
I watch these old Flash Gordon serials as an oasis and alternative to being subjected to anything from Disney Star Wars. Innocent fantasy escapism as it should be.
Have this vibe Hollywood going to make a new version of Flash. The 80s version was a hit for the kids as it was extremely fun movie to watch at 10 years old and still enjoy seeing re runs.
This is awesome!! I remember watching the reruns of this back in the late 70s.
Thanks for posting these!
These old TV shows feel both futuristic and old at the same time.
I really don't think there were TV shows like this back in 1936. This was a movie.
If I can offer a little advice to Dr Zarkof. The fuel mix on your rocket ship is too rich. Increase the ratio of air to fuel. You'll get a more even burn with less spluttering.
LOP?
Nunca havia assistido nada do flash gordon. mas passei a infancia inteira ouvindo as pessoas falarem.
The colorization of this serial brings a whole new interest to this wonderful production. Well done!!! 😃👍
It was great back when other planets and star systems were so much closer.
Are u just going to tease us with just the one or we gonna get more 😁
Ming’s daughter is a smoke show
Akhirnya saya temukan Film Flash Gordon senang hati ini kenangan indah.Terima kasih banyak 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was surprisingly entertaining.
Every second of that is pure comedy
I used to watch flash gordon while growing up in the 60s.
I've seen this many, MANY times but Frank Shannon's Russian accent always cracks me up. He might as well have greeted Flash by saying "Top o'tha mornin ta ya, what's the craic?".
Not originally a TV series. Made in the 30's for movie goers. When TV came out to households many years later, it was played on TV.
Impressive how little G-force they experienced!
Happy memories !
That woman in the back at 15:52 is the Most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life and no way to find her name. I wish I could marry her but she was about 40 years older than me.
The linked set of videos for this serial currently contains only 12 of the 13 episodes. They need to include episode 11, also.
I hope the whole trilogy of Serials pops up here.
Flesh Gordon is a hoot, but TH-cam wouldn't like it.
Дуже дякую ! вчу англійську мову , люблю старі фільми
If I knew planes had parachutes, I wouldn't have so much high anxiety!!
Love Flash Gordon, big cheers for that!😊👍👍👍👍
Charles Middleton really did play the perfect baddie in Emperor Ming the merciless.
the only way it would be perfect is if he were actually asian...if you never watched till now...hes the epitome of what is wrong with hollywood. Not in the sense of the woke bs. But in the sense of what was actually good....sure his acting is good, that doesn't mean the part was good, or the show for that matter. Just better than what you had back then.
so by the definition of perfect...ya know, definition, the thing the words actually mean and not your added connotations. This is so far from perfect its a surprise it was ever made. Only old people remember it, so it wasn't good. Unlike our grandparents other inventions such as comics like Superman or Batman despite being older than Flash gordon is.
but to each their own. some are racist, so even to each their own isn't very acceptable.
The planet of the iguanas was high-larious!
I wish the 1936 serial was made as a full length movie instead of a serial. Granted, it would have been long but totally worth it. Also, I think it would have been a big hit had it done so
It mostly was. In 1980 as a digest of this serial. Campy but styled in this anesthetic. Dino de Laurentiis with music by Queen.
Elements of this are all through Star Wars, including dropping Luke into Jaba's arena to fight a giant lizard with a keeper that looked like these long toothed men. The speeders. The desert, ice and jungle planets (moons) and sky city. Klitus and The Emperor.
The Iguanas had makeup ! ( had props in their back)
The whole chapter is a testament to cinematic ingenuity!
Of course the plot and dialogue are cheesy but, oh my, the set design, props, costuming, framing and cinematography are fascinating. Visually these are masterpieces.
To be honest it’s still has its moment
My late grandfather told me when ppl watched this movie, most ppl said noway human can go to the moon. It is crazy to realize that it was almost 100 years ago.
Le combat dans l’arène on dirait Dune 2024.
They should do a sequel of the 1980's Flash Gordon and introduce the Clay people and Get Queen to do a new theme tune. Important not to loose the character of the orginal Flash Gordon series and movies though.
I've always been a fan and quite like this colorized version (never thought I'd say that!) but some of these English language captions are ludicrously funny! the fact there are even captions for when there any (already English) text on screen, is one thing but that they don't even repeat the exact same words as already printed is very odd. the first one i noticed is when Prof Gordon holds up a telegram to the screen that reads " Arabs in Frenzy Chaos". It's unnecessarily translated (cos do we need to see the same words twice on a screen?) as "Arabs in Bubble Chaos"! lol! Soon after, once Flash and Dale meet Dr Zarkov for the first time, he tells them his assistant has turned coward and left, but the captions say, (of the assistant) "He got pissed off."!! Are there people doing these translations of some sort of 'bot? I'm very thankful to Cult Cinema Classic's but is there anyone on the team that bothers to check out the correlation between what is said by the characters and what the captions come up with, let alone the total irrelevancy of having text (thats often incorrect) to 'translate' text thats already visible onscreen. there's got to be some pedantic grammarian amongst the CCC crew who wants to fix these up, surely! aside from that, thanks for giving us these.
WAW the stunt...the actors seems to get hurt everytime look dale fall at 11:10 I scream OUCH for her
My Pops show Rip❤
Charles Middleton was the perfection of evil when I was a child. As Ming he just exuded power
Flash can't keep his eyes off Princess Knockers. Nothing changes.
This never gets old.
Will Flash survive the attack of the balding, middle-aged men?
19:08 No balls were harmed in the making of this show 😂😂
❤ Magnificent 🥰
Mom said she use to watch it. She was 11 at this episode
I love the whole 1936 Flash Gordon serial. I found it better than the 1980 film
If you want the story spread over many hours. The 80 film is a digest done in 1966 Batman camp...not updated to a 70s Teen Cartrip adventure like Star Wars.
I think de Laurentiis did the right thing.
I never thanked Flash for saving every one of us.
I do not agree. The 80's film was good. The music from Queen was amazing. I do like the old series though.
Sam Jones was sexier.
In 1938. Thank you.
And at about this time, Universal Pictures defaulted on it's loans from Standard Capital, which would take control from founder Carl Laemmle. Laemmle would die three years later. Larry "Buster" Crabbe was a swimming champion who transferred to acting. Universal's experience in making monster movies paid off well in these serials.
What grand times, when they had parachutes under the seat, instead of live vests.
Buster Crabbe has in interesting story as well
Até hoje eu só tinha visto o filme do Flash gordon, eu não sabia que existia uma seria ainda mais antiga
Buster Crabbe sounds like a young Ronald Regan!
Father - Naci -Chingiskhan!
18:05 they all have back pain
Better in black and white, but still fun to watch.
Hi @ghw7192 ! Its not the case for this movie at the moment, but just so you know, in the description box of colorized movies, you will find a link to the black and white movie (if it has been uploaded). This way, you can chose to watch in either color or B&W. Same things goes for B&W having link to colorized version.
Glad you enjoyed it !
Cheers!
@@CultCinemaClassics Thank you for the hint. I first watched many of these movies in black and white and that is the way I remember them.
I won’t mind watching this
Flash is more bad ass than Buck Rogers on sword fighting alone.
I have the full set on DVD but it’s not in colour wish it was l wish other films could be Colorised like Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan 😊
🔔 INTERESTING. CAN YOU DO THE MARX BROTHERS MOVIES & THE 'CLASSIC 39' "HONEYMOONERS" TOO? AND "THE THIN MAN" MOVIES & THE (SIDNEY TOLER) "CHARLIE CHAN" MOVIES?

"After him!.... But don't forget to inexplicably drop your weapons before you do so!"
I loved this series as a kid in the 70's, then it was only 40 years old. The colouring grade is nice too.
I watched this in - maybe - the early 80s.🤔
I also remember the BBC broadcasting this series every morning during the Christmas school holidays throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, a great period in UK television when much creative thought, effort and money was expended on the viewing public.
We need a chicks of Flash Gordon calender😉😘😋
