I can't describe HOW COOL this show was when I was a tot back in the '50's. I discovered the more classic Buster Crabbe "Flash Gordon" many years later. I would look up to see jet vapor trails in the sky and think it was Flash Gordon returning to Earth. In this German TV series, they used European stock footage of buildings including the Cathedral at Notre Dame to stand in for alien architecture - ! - and my little pre-school head thought it was Awesome. Great to see it again. 8-)

There were a lot of Flash Gordon stories prior to that. In 1936 there was Flash Gordon Rocketsip. In 1938 Flash Gordon Trip to Mars. In 1940 Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. These were movie serials starred by Buster Crabbe, who became the face of Flash Gordon for generations. In 1954 was released this TV show. In 1979 Filmation released the animated movie Flash Gordon The Greatest Adventure of All, and a FG animated TV show. Then in 1980 came the movie you know.

a lot of these early tv shows were shot in kinescope (filmed in 16 or 35mm from the monitor for archival purposes) as it went out live over the air. Flash Gordon was as it is now a valuable franchise this show had a fairly good budget as 50s tv goes. see some of the other shows contemporary with this show comander corbit for example which also had a fairly good budget for the times. editing just wasnt possible regardless of an editing dept. video tape came out in 1956 or 57.

My Mom saw and told me she liked Flash Gordon. I already dig sci-fi. Taking in a few episodes of Flash Gordon suits me as a kind of time travel. I mean taking in this entertainment I can think about the world of imagination and dreams my Mom grew up in. If a person's interested in how society was, changes, and is, these old movies contain rich information on intended and unintended levels.

I'm trying to understand what it mut have been like to live in the era this film was made. Watching this movie has me feeling kind of weird in that i just can't imagine how on earth those ppl in that time used to have fun cause this film is so outdated. But at least i respect that era cause without it we wouldn't have been able to improve & move foward in technology & film. It's fun to watch what would have been conidered the 'in thing' in the past.

I remember seeing the Steve Holland Flash Gordon television series syndicated on early Saturday morning television when I was four or five, over half a century ago, and I thought I remembered the radium-shoveling from that, as, ironically enough, I've never watched the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon serials. I do know the joke was recreated for the original Star Trek blooper film made with out-takes from the first or second season of that series.

@dbrauer43 Buck Rogers has no relation at all with Star Wars. On the other hand there are tons of references to Flash Gordon in Lucas´saga. Hoth is exactly like Frigia, Endor looks just like Arboria, Cloud City is Lucas´version of Hawkmen´s flying city, Naboo is a clone of Mingo City, even SW scrolling intro was lifted from FG Conquers The Universe´s intros. Not to speak about the parallels between both sagas characters.

@DachampsterStudios Lucas couldn´t get the rights of Flash Gordon cause Dino De Laurentis bought them first in 1974 in order to film the movie we knew in 1980, not due any imposition by King Features Syndicate (FG rights owner). If George Lucas could have bought the rights we probably never would have Star Wars. So, GRAZIE MILLE, DINO!

this show came out in the mid 50s. some after the Buster Crabbe serials. unlike other versions of the Gordon story this series never took place on Mongo, which is a shame. espesily since Mongo was such a great planet for stories. this series seems more in the tom corbit line. and really has nothing to do with flash at all. you could pretty much rename the main chartures since it is so unlike the main Flash Gordon comics. but then the 2007 sci fi flash gordon series was crap!

I loved Flash Gordon as a kid. It's too bad that the science and astronomy in it is so bogus, and the plot lines contradict each other. I still like the "West Berlin" aliens. Their English sounds like it comes from Planet X. I guess Germans should hire Americans who speak bad German to play aliens in German movies.

@labyronie In fact around those years West Germany TV produced a much better SF series than this called Raumpatruille Orion (Star Patrol Orion) that followed the same premise of Star Trek. Unfortunately it premiered the same week than ST and it fell into oblivion before the success of it´s american counterpart, despite it´s superb aestetics and script. If you search you can find all its 7 episodes here on KZitem.
