Flash Gordon

Enjoyed this serial. I am a collector of Serials. They may appear ancient and stupid compared to the movies of today but they drew in thousands of kids into the theatres every Saturday. Rocket ships, outer space, your basic star wars scenario. Heroes and villians. How can it be bad. I enjoyed them when I was young and they were on TV and still being shown during kid's matinees in the fifties and I still love them. October 4, 2008

Just ordered the Box Set

I ordered the Flash Gordon Box Set the other day and can't wait to see these fun filled serials again. We used to watched the Flash Gordon serials and other serials back in the 50s on the Saturday morning TV matinee. Good fun & memories. September 13, 2008

Memories of Flash Gordon

Watching Flash Gordon brought a lot of memories of setting in a dark movie house with my friends. Cheering Flash as he beat the bad guys. Eating wonderful buttery salty popcorn, candy and sodas. Waiting impatiently for the next weekend when we could find out how Flash continued to fight the bad guys while saving the earth. If you want to renew old memories or make new ones with your grandchildren, this is one Flash Gordon box set you need to buy. September 9, 2008

Classic Flash!

This Flash Gordon collection has the best of the classic best in movie serials. Ming is marvelously merciless. Azura is still up to no good with her magic saphires. The Clay People vanish into walls and reappear to their intriging musical accompaniment. The floating city still flies, and the spaceships spit sparks as always. Wonderful stuff! September 6, 2008

High qualitly reproduction

If you are a fan of the old Flash Gordon serials, this Image Entertainment version is the one to get. I didn't believe it was possible to get such a clear and sharp reproduction of this series. I am seeing details I don't think I saw when I first watched these serials on TV back in the 1950s. Great job. August 30, 2008
