It was no accident that Ming resembled Hitler. "Ming is a trope for the fascist dictators of the age. He has spies, secret police, military-technical laboratories, and kidnappers, and his agents fight a resistance movement. His rule of the few disparate regions of Mongo shown here is presented as just like the countries that Hitler captured. It is all exemplified when Ming dresses up just like an Earth dictator, except with a few more feathers in his cap, in the last episode."
Here it is, 2011, 61 years later, and we all still watch classic Flash Gordon as it were released yesterday. I can't wait for the next serial. Thanks for sharing ThrillingWonderLLC.
I used to watch Flash in the mid fifties as a precourser to the main film of the day. We loved it, you should have heard us kids cheering him on in the flick house, Whow, he was our hero, as kids we all wanted to be FLASH!!!!
"Where's the main power switch?"
"HERE IT IS!"

Which chapter was it that featured two lizard-like dinosaurs fighting with each other? That was my favorite scene of all.....
