	Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe is a 1940 twelve episode serial film about Flash Gordon.
		Ming the Merciless is suspected to be behind the plague, and Flash Gordon is sent with Dr.
		Plot points taken from the immediately preceding serial, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars include the Rock People as derived from the Clay People of the former, and the bringing-back-to-life of people assumed by Captain Torch to have died.

	Flash Gordon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flash Gordon was featured in three serials starring Buster Crabbe: Flash Gordon (1936), Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938), and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940).
		Flash even develops what appears to be an echoing affection for Azura, in spite of her rather ghastly treatment of him and his friends, though he tells her that Ghor-dhan's love for her is dust.
		If Flash is the reincarnation of Ghor-dhan, it would be ironic, because the kingdom of Syk that is the remnant of Ghor-dhan's realm is perhaps the most cold and cruel on Mongo, Azura, his long-lost love, is callously cruel and arguably insane, and Ming seems to be an expatriat of that same realm.

	FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE (1940)
		Flash dons the local Ruritanian uniform (not one he will wear for long) and learns he is just in time for a banquet to be held for Queen Fria of Frigia (just what you'd expect from that name and, as you'll see, location), another of Ming's enemies.
		Flash is forced to tell his father that he doesn't have Zarkov or Dale with him--that they were captured by Ming, and he must go back and deal with his arch enemy.
		Flash, who we know is quite strong, manages to pry a huge boulder off a cliff which smashes the lodestone, dropping it into the planet's depths, and putting an end to its magnetic pull.

	VH1.com : Movies : Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe [Serial] : Review
		Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe is a bracing, dazzling movie serial, 12 chapters of nonstop action that are as entertaining today as they were in 1940.
		Each of the three Flash Gordon serials reflected elements of popular culture sensibility and contemporary history that were unique to the particular time in which it was made.
		The third serial, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, reflected the world of 1939-1940; in place of the Oriental robes that he wore in the first serial, Emperor Ming (Charles B. Middleton) now wears a European-style uniform cut along military lines and he employs stormtrooper-type soldiers in his attempt to conquer Mongo.

		In the first series, Flash Gordon: Space Soldiers (as it was rechristened in the 1950s to avoid being confused with the television series), a distant planet is headed straight for the Earth, sending the Earth’s atmostphere into chaos and threatening the planet with certain destruction.
		By today’s standards, the Flash Gordon serials seem pretty antiquated, but they were one of the joys of my youth, and they are still a lot of fun today.
		Conquers the Universe is noticeably better than the first two serials, presumably because it is the most recent.

		So Flash and his friends return to Mongo to do battle with him.
		The third of the Flash Gordon serials does a little recasting in some of the roles; new actresses play Dale Arden and Princess Aura, and a new actor takes the role of Prince Barin.
		They're not bad by any means, but I did find that they didn't look anywhere as distinctive as their predecessors in the series; therefore, I have a lot of trouble telling the characters apart in this outing.
