Flash Gordon 1954 pt.1

Larry "Buster" Crabbe, Sam J Jones... These are the actors one automatically thinks of whenever "Flash Gordon" is mentioned.

But the name Steve Forrest is always said in hushed tones... or maybe not at all, since you probably never heard of him. Now, it's time to join him on his adventures in the post-war TV series as his ship, the Skyflash, blasts off for the far-flung planet... Earth.

The series was filmed in post-WWII West Germany, which means that most of the bit-players don't speak English, they just phonetically mime an English-speaker reading their lines off-camera. So there's that to look forward to, along with Flash, Dale and Zarkov battling aliens so crappy they make the special effects in Plan 9 look like CGI.

Place your trust in Ian and Matthew to guide you through the unfamiliar territory of Flash Gordon - West German Style!*

*Remarks to the effect that Hollywood icon George Segal is still alive are demonstrably false. Thoughts with his family.

Thanks for the upload and not being a hypocrite unlike some of the people on here who are hand wringing and trying to take some moral high road just because they feel embarrassed or guilty over the @officialRifftrax post, some of those people really need a reality check this is a pirates forum we are pirates.

Thanks peephalk. This is very funny. I especially like how they chose an obscure production of the time-honored Flash Gordon tale.

Would anyone be interested in me posting these as videos separated into the individual episodes?

[Meat Trademark]

I will be happy about and will thank you now for doing just that.
(Trying to be efficient.)

[alansmithee99]

Here they are. Separated into each episode.

I'm normally not much for Ian and Matthew, but a '50s Flash Gordon serial? That's too cool to not watch.

Thank you, peephalk, and also to you, alansmithee!
