Flash
Gordon changes what is left of his shredded clothes
and dons his characteristic uniform for the first time.
The comic strip and film are somewhat in sync as the
impetuous youngster takes on a fleet of freaky Space
Gyros. |

Ming interrupts other evil deeds to scramble his defenses.
Hollywood matted the attacking fleet into footage of
his futuristic laboratory -- a trick that worked well
in Just Imagine, and will work again and again
and again. |
| Flash
obviously learned SOMETHING from Zarkov about flying
those noisy machines, but this sequence makes no sense,
except as an excuse for exotic violence, Prince Thun
of the Lion Men emerges from the wreckage of his ship
and nobly forgives Gordon because he's Ming's enemy
too. His big muscles come in handy REAL SOON! |
