Is Buster Crabbe still living? He must be a very old man by now.

He would be 104 on Tuesday (Feb. 7). Unfortunately, he died in 1983, at age 75.

after watching this i realized that 90% of the ideas in Star Wars where stolen from the old Flash Gorden Movies and the the remaining 10% where stolen from Star Trek and a few Japanese movies.

Now, now, that's not quite fair... Star Wars borrowed a lot of ideas from Edgar Rice Burroughs, too. :-P

[SafeSocks]

OMG that was close, I really thought Falsh was going to die!! (NOT!!)

You're Joking, right? Computers were invented around WWII, this is the third of a set of series, this last from 1940. Believe it or not, there was an era fifty years before, around 1900, when most people lived without electricity at all. You're completely unaware of even basic history, it seems.

[SamuelConcepcion]

Why did they not use computer graphics animation? It would have looked much more believable!

[Christhefireshark]

That's not some big secret; you could ask Lucas about it. I would prefer to call it homage though, more like a modern update.

i used to know of a major league pitcher who's name was tom "flash" gordon. he was pretty good. i'm a little disappointed with how flash survived that fall. lol, stretching the limits of believability there flash.

the good guys and the bad guys have strikingly similar space ships.

the German "Wochenschau" (cinema news) used this very theme for their bulletins of the Russian campaign 1941-45
