Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Something new and different! The feature version of the original Flash Gordon serial--in widescreen and the amazing new 3-color Malavision toning technique which gives a more natural appearance to scenes by allowing the use of multiple hues in connection to corresponding brightness values without colorization and gives a James Bama-like feel to every scene! The widescreen process is achieved by cropping the image normally from top to bottom and extending the transfer beyond the normally cropped horizontal area to produce a widescreen proportion ratio. This Deluxe Edition includes both widescreen and full-screen versions of the feature, commentary by serial experts, trailers of related serials DARKEST AFRICA, THE PHANTOM EMPIRE, ADVENTURES OF FRANK MERRIWELL, FLASH GORDON, THE SEA HOUND, and KING OF THE CONGO, and a rare infomercial for Buster Crabbe swimming pools, hosted by Buster himself!

1.0 out of 5 stars Rocket Ship, November 17, 2008

By	movie watcher (Thornton, Co USA) - See all my reviews

Worst quality dvd I have ever viewed. The picture is quality isn't even as good as a vhs recording from tv.
The color version is just recorded in b+w with a purple tint over the whole picture for a few minutes, then
green tint, then yellow tint.

1.0 out of 5 stars So let me get this straight..., September 24, 2008

By	Laughing Gravy (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

They took the FLASH GORDON serial, 13 chapters of non-stop laughs, thrills, sexy drama, and excitement, carved it down to featurette length, slashed the tops and bottom of the screen off to make it "widescreen", and then colorized it. And they're charging MONEY for it. Yes, they're asking you to PAY them to sit and look at garbage. Come to my house. I will let you look at my garbage for nothing. Well, okay, not the wastebasket in my bedroom. That's where I throw my torn underwear. Weirdo.
