I'm more a fan of the Gerard series. I used love those one man fighters. I could never decid whether the BSG Vipers were better though.

This looks somewhat truer to the original. A bit more Flash Gordon like.
Yes, I think you are spot on - this seems more like the old Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe days) - not the early 80's one. "Flash! Ah-ahhh! Save everyone of us!!"

Good Lord, I saw that in the theaters as a kid and despite being young I still knew it was sh$t.

Yes, even gratuitous glimpses of Ornella Muti can't save that stinker of a movie. I am a big fan of Max von Sydow, and Brian Blessed as well.

Now see here again we disagree but this time I'm on the pro side and you guys are against. I actually like the FG movie. It's campy and fun and crazy. But I admit I really like "B" movies and enjoy laughing at them and taking them for what they are. I had to buy it when it came out on DVD. Every once in a while I get a kick out of watching FG or Doc Savage or Batman (1966) just because they are so crazy. They always make me laugh.

It aired again here a few weeks ago and I couldn't resist watching. It's just SO over the top in so many ways - and Flash travels with an entire wardrobe of clean shirts!

Whenever I see Brian Blessed - I cannot help but think of him as Augustus from the old "I, Claudius" series (with Derek Jacoby, Patrick Stewart, Rhys-Davies...quite a cast!)

I went out and picked up the Buck Rogers DVD set after veiwing the Cawley trailer. Looking to working them in the near future.

I'm really looking forward to this pilot/series. According to recent press releases it's slated for release in Sept. 2010.

wow, they got better as actors. :)

YEAH!!! That was pretty good! I love the old 30's adventure serials, especially Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. It was great seeing Buck and Wilma together again ( ;D ). Also loved the first clip with the flying ship. This is right up my alley!

Geekyfanboy · September 28, 2010, 01:25:27 PM

I did not know about this web series. I will have to check it out. I hope it is complete and watchable. I don't watch to many web series but I think I will concider this one.

Don't think they've got much more out on it - yet. Early stages still I think.

ok thanks Ricio for the info, I will be on the lookout for it. I hope they can make it work.
