 Flash From the Past December 12, 2008
These serials were great, from the hanging spaceships powered by sparklers to the guys dressed up as clawed monsters, etc. I was too young to have seen the theatrical showings, but they got airtime on TV when I was a kid and I was hooked. Larry "Buster" Crabbe was a natural hero and Charles Middleton was way over the top as Ming, but Jean Rogers as Dale Arden steals the show as the heroine in distress! What a beauty!! If you're expecting Star Wars, forget it, but these Saturday Matinee serials kept you coming back for the resolution of the cliffhanger and you had to care about the characters to do so. The set is nicely boxed and I am enjoying every episode.
Flash Gordin box set November 17, 2008
Just great! Far as my memory goes nothing was left out but the popcorn,the candy like dots, jujubees,milk duds,etc and that is most important as any editing would destroy the memories of my childhood and those Sat mornings at the movies and the authenticity of these classic serials. Younger folks have to remember that the special effects of that day were considered very good(especially the rocket scenes taking-off which is not as good as the light bridges). Just wish I could go back and be that young again.
Flash Gordon October 4, 2008
Enjoyed this serial. I am a collector of Serials. They may appear ancient and stupid compared to the movies of today but they drew in thousands of kids into the theatres every Saturday. Rocket ships, outer space, your basic star wars scenario. Heroes and villians. How can it be bad. I enjoyed them when I was young and they were on TV and still being shown during kid's matinees in the fifties and I still love them.

I ordered the Flash Gordon Box Set the other day and can't wait to see these fun filled serials again. We used to watched the Flash Gordon serials and other serials back in the 50s on the Saturday morning TV matinee. Good fun & memories.
Memories of Flash Gordon September 9, 2008
Watching Flash Gordon brought a lot of memories of setting in a dark movie house with my friends. Cheering Flash as he beat the bad guys. Eating wonderful buttery salty popcorn, candy and sodas. Waiting impatiently for the next weekend when we could find out how Flash continued to fight the bad guys while saving the earth. If you want to renew old memories or make new ones with your grandchildren, this is one Flash Gordon box set you need to buy.
