Interesting....

I was about to give “Flash Gordon” a try. Not worth it, huh? Okay..

I’ll come back to you about “Eureka” and “Torchwood”.

Hi, Es:

I remember watching the syndicated Old School Buster Crabbe “Flash Gordon” serials early in the morning on TV ages ago before going to Swim Team Practice.

I really miss the cheezy sets and Z-Grade (Spaceships flying around with a sparkler in their back sides) Special Effects.

If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that one of Ming The Merciless’s favorite Hench Monsters, “The Dreaded Orangupoid” bears more than a striking resemblance to a later “Star Trek” monster; “The Mobutu”.

So far, the only film to come close to the over-all mystique of the original Cliff Hangers would be the soft-core, early 1970s, pr0n re-make; “Flesh Gordon”.

Jack.
