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.
The Deluxe Edition, available now, includes both widescreen
and full-screen versions of the feature, commentary by Ace
Drummond and Dr. Grood, 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!
