Watching this one once again...

No, this isn't FLASH GORDON, and not very close to the FLASH GORDON trilogy, but it's fun.

I do notice certain techniques that seem more akin to Universal than other studios that turned out serials. For instance, in Chapter one, you have a scene of a television scene within a television scene. Interesting.

I might try the classics board, but I doubt there are many familiar with this serial over there, while any Buck Rogers fans might check this out. Actually for serials, Flash Gordon is far superior, but this might be a better introduction since it's pretty middle ground and won't lead a person to expect a lot of ones to be Flash Gordon quality.
