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!
