Flash Gordon Serial full HD movie download free with screenpaly story, dialogue LYRICS and STAR Cast

• Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon. Crabbe had his hair dyed blond in order to appear more like the comic strip Flash Gordon. He was very self-conscious about this and kept his hat on in public at all times, even with women present. He did not like men whistling at him.
• Jean Rogers as Dale Arden. Rogers also had her hair dyed blonde, "apparently to capitalize on the popularity of Jean Harlow". Both the actress and the character were normally brunettes.
• Charles B. Middleton as Ming the Merciless. Ming is characterised in the mold of Fu Manchu in this serial.
• Priscilla Lawson as Princess Aura
• Frank Shannon as Dr. Alexis Zarkov
• Richard Alexander as Prince Barin. Alexander helped to design his own costume, which included a leather chest plate painted gold.
• Jack Lipson as King Vultan
• Theodore Lorch as Second High Priest.
• James Pierce as Prince Thun. "Big Jim" Pierce played Tarzan in Tarzan and the Golden Lion (1927). According to Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs he was the perfect portrayal of Tarzan. He married Burroughs' daughter Joan Burroughs on 8 August 1928 after meeting her on the set of that film. As a wedding present, Burroughs included a clause in his next contract that stated that Pierce must play Tarzan. This contract later led to the filming of the serial Tarzan the Fearless. Despite the contract Pierce did not star after he was tricked into stepping aside in favor of fellow Flash Gordon actor Buster Crabbe (the first serial role for the future "King of the Serials").
• Duke York as King Kala
• Earl Askam as Officer Torch
• Lon Poff as First High Priest
• Richard Tucker as Professor Gordon
• George Cleveland as Professor Hensley
• Muriel Goodspeed as Zona

Early film fan historians have claimed that actor Lon Poff, playing the first of Ming's two high priests, died shortly after production began and so was replaced by Theodore Lorch. In fact, however, only Poff's character died, or rather was killed off by Ming in an act of fury and replaced by Lorch's High Priest; but the scene was cut from the final print. Poff did not die until 1952.

According to Harmon and Glut, Flash Gordon had a budget of over a million dollars. Stedman, however, writes that it was "reportedly" $350,000.

A lot of props and other elements were recycled from earlier Universal productions. The watchtower sets from Frankenstein (1931) appeared as several interiors within Ming's palace. The Egyptian statue from The Mummy (1932) became the idol of the Great God Tao. The laboratory set and a shot of the Moon rushing past Zarkov's returning rocket ship from space came from The Invisible Ray (1936). Zarkov's rocket ship and scenes of dancers swarming over a gigantic idol were reused from Just Imagine (1930). Ming's attack on Earth used footage from old silent newsreels. An entire dance segment from The Midnight Sun (1927) was used. and much laboratory equipment came from Bride of Frankenstein (1935). The music was recycled from several other films, notably Bride of Frankenstein, Bombay Mail, The Black Cat (both 1934), and The Invisible Man (1933).

Exterior shots, such as the Earth crew's first steps on Mongo, were filmed at Bronson Canyon.

Crash Corrigan, who would later be the lead in other serials, wore a modified gorilla suit as the "Orangapoid".

Flash Gordon was intended to regain an adult audience for serials. It was shown in 'A' Theaters in large cities across the United States. Many newspapers, including some not carrying the Flash Gordon comic strip, contained half and three-quarter page feature stories in their entertainment pages with Alex Raymond drawings and stills from the serial.

Flash Gordon was the first outright science fiction serial, although earlier serials had contained science fiction elements such as gadgets. Six of the fourteen serials released within five years of Flash Gordon were science fiction.

The serial film was subsequently released in a 72-minute feature version in 1936, which was reissued in 1949 as Rocket Ship. A different feature version of the serial, at 90 minutes, was sold directly to television in 1966 under the title Spaceship to the Unknown. For syndication to TV in the 1950s, the serial was renamed Space Soldiers. so as not to be confused with the newly-made, also syndicated TV series, Flash Gordon.

Stunts

• Eddie Parker doubled Buster Crabbe.

Flash Gordon was Universal's second-highest-grossing film of the year, after Three Smart Girls, a musical starring Deanna Durbin. However, the Hays Office objected to the revealing costumes worn by Dale, Aura and the other female characters. In the two sequels, most of the female characters were thus dressed more modestly.

Reviewing the film for the Radio Times Guide to Films, Alan Jones described Flash Gordon as "non-stop thrill-a-minute stuff as Flash battles one adversary after another" and stated that it was "the best of the Crabbe trilogy of Flash Gordon films".
