[@1980sforever]

The serial was shown on Danish tv in the early 1980's and I remember so very well how I sat in front of the tv and watched every single episode and I really loved it.I must have been 5-6 years old at the time but I still remember it and the one thing I remember the most is the big monkey with the horn on its head and the way it appears in the doorway,I think it scared me a little back then. But watching it now,it really impresses me how incredible well the whole serial is made and even by modern standarts it is impressive, especially considering when it was made.The monkey monster is also really impressive and that suit must have taken a lot to make back then. I really really loved serials like this as a child,even though they where in black and white. The one serial that gave me the biggest scare was Dr Satans Robot and I remember sitting upstairs alone watching it and when the Robot was unloaded from a truck and sent into a hospital to kill a guy,I was so scared that I remember running out of the room and down the stairs. Those was some wonderful times and years when tv was awesome and the world was a far better place.

That was Ray”Crash”Corrigan under that monkey suit 😮that same year he would make “Undersea Kingdom” for Republic pictures 😊

He's definitely no Timothy Dalton.

[@magpie9610]

Love your work, but please don't put links to other videos all over the video before it's ended, I like to see the end of the episode in it's entirety.

[@jimfritz2087]

Ray Guns , Rocket Ships , Swords and a Gorilla monster with a Rubber Horn . And Dale / Princess Aura both had BIG Expressive Eyes . ( • ) ( • ) Rock On

[@slreveries]

I thought the horn was a banana. Could it be Napoleon Solo in the gorilla suit? All in fun, luv this stuff!

[@jimfritz2087]

@slreveries This was the 1930s. Way before Napoleon Solo. And Han Solo for that matter .

[@bobbysands6923]

This is awesome work you have done. And I grew up with these serials in the 1960s...on TV all of the time. But when that gorilla came out..OMG...I was on the floor...

[@albertcscs]

It's like seeing them for the first time. Thanks so much, I was hoping someone would colorize this series.

[@I-ONLY-BUILD-MECHS-AND-DUSTERS]

I liked the part where they cut to the swordfight spectators roughly 800 times

[@wolfshanze5980]

You need to know what their facial expressions are during the fight.

[@dogfriendly1623]

The colour work on this is marvellous

[@randallbelstra7228]

What amazes me is that the actor who played prince Barron was considered a total stud muffin at that time.

The gorilla suit is awesome!!

[@wolfshanze5980]

That's clearly not a Gorilla... Gorillas don't have horns on their head!

[@Morboeatspeople]

Firstly, that was the weirdest swordfight I've ever seen lol never thought I'd get bored watching a SWORDFIGHT! Secondly, whomever was in that orangopoid suit was waaaaaay too good at their job! Way to ape the ape, buddy!

[@nicoletanis3703]

REST IN PEACE, DOCTOR ZARKOV! THE ACTOR THAT PLAYED HIM JUST PASSED AWAY AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE THAT IS SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE, AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHAT A GREAT ACTOR! HE WILL BE MISSED!

[@josieldeassis]

Wait a minute: Frank Shannon who play Doc Zarkov died in 1st February 1959

[@matykay9957]

​@@josieldeassishe's referring to Topol, who played Zarkov in the 1980 film.

[@joecarter3735]

I kept fast forwarding when the sword fight scene started, it went on and on and on……….

[@wolfshanze5980]

Yes, but did you notice the facial expressions of the spectators?

[@rosespears9749]

They need to finish and upload and colorized more chapters all the way through 13 i would fully appreciate if they upload load more chapters to this flash gordon I know there are more chapters

[@jackfriend4u]

are these beautifully remastered colorized versions going to ever be available on dvd/blu-ray? cos i would certainly want to buy them! and while i'm here R.I P. Chaim Topol; his charming performance as Dr Zarkov in 1980's "Flash Gordon". is my favorite.

[@maxlinder5262]

Great 👍 job of coloring ....as Always . Buster Crabbe is Hot 🔥 in color ......!!!!.. Question ❓ why did Dale push him away only to be captured ,???

[@quakers200]

When I see the sword fight it reminds me that star wars, for all the special effects used the same kind of plot the same sword play as the early sci Fi movies.

[@joecarter3735]

I’m feeling compelled to love the ape man thing then I can emphasise with it

[@maxpayne2574]

The flying city of errr adult tool buildings lol thank you for colorizing these more old movies and tv shows should be colorized. A few film snobs are ruining it for everyone.

[@randallbelstra7228]

And the king kong costure with a carrot added.

[@ramblingRJ]

What a useless bunch of guards Vultan has. Twice Flash charges into the throne room and rushes toward two kings, and not one of them makes any attempt to stop him.

[@calebfuller4713]

4:09 Why?!? What was Dale thinking?

[@XAVIERCUERVO]

why is the Eagle man wearing a female chest plate ?

[@georgeplagianos6487]

I think eagle man is transitioning into a woman. Have you never heard of the bearded lady at the circus

[@Thompsdan]

Why are the subtitles worded differently to what is actually said? And why are subtitles even necessary?

[@joecarter3735]

And now he’s fighting a friction ape thing and I think it’s got a knob on its head or is that a stage prop thingy

@@newtronix Idk man, at this point in the story I don't see how Flash still has any trust in Aura whatsoever. Sure, Dale isn't as smart or independent but that just means she's a more appreciative match for a hero guy

@@brianwhite2104 yeah but it wouldn't last. He"d get so bored of her.

[@austinevplab7167]

Fun to watch but really there are far better colorization processes than this. Their skin is constantly changing from normal color to being smeared with gun powder. Gun powder grey everywhere that suddenly disappears. It is about on par with the acting.

Why does Flash hold his left arm in that effeminate manner during the sword fight ? Which incidentally was boring after a while. 😂 why are most of the men ‘portly’ 😂 . Probably got desk jobs during the day 😂

having your left arm/hand this way is just the usual fencing technique

I have to wonder if all the people praising the colorization are looking at the same episode that I am! The colorization is abysmal! It flickers like a candle!!! Please leave black and white footage alone... It doesn't need your misguided "help"!
