==Plot== While the movie and the comics differ somewhat with how Mongo and the main characters are presented, the movie can and should be watched first since it covers Flash & co.'s arrival on Mongo up to the deposing of Ming. So, Flash Gordon - world famous american football player, for the Jets, who don't suck in this alternate universe - is on a plane with a travel agent Dale Arden when strange things start happening around them, meteorites start falling from the sky which turns crimson and as a sinister laugh is heard, the pilots vanish. Flash and Dale manage to crash-land into a greenhouse of doctor Hans Zarkov, a crackpot scientist. After a bit of introduction and kidnapping, the trio are catapulted into space by the rocket Zarkov built and start raveling to a strange wormhole that the doctor detected over the Earth. The wormhole turns out to be leading of the source of the strange natural disasters that have begun to plague the Earth, as it turns out, Emperor Ming, ruler of Mongo was bored and decided to troll the Earth with some good old apocalypse. Flash, Dale, and Hans are taken to the capital of Mingo-city where after an audience with the emperor and an entertaining but sadly short-lived impromptu football match, Flash is sentenced to death, Hans is brainwashed into the secret police and Dale is fated to become Ming's concubine for the hour (all creatures are to make merry under the pain of death, hail Ming!). Flash however gets rescued by Ming's daughter Aura while Hans and Dale escape separately. After a number of shenanigans involving the tree-men of Arboria and the king of Hawk-men, who is fittingly BRIAN BLESSED, the gang with their newfound allies all converge on Mingo-city just in time to prevent Dale's wedding to Ming (Dale being re-captured by Ming earlier in the story). Flash and hawk-men commandeer the war-rocket Ajax after a kickass battle, Flash crashes the rocket into the throne room and pierces Ming with its nose spike. After Ming dies, everyone celebrates and Barin is made the new ruler of Mongo. The last scene has Ming's ring of power taken up by a mysterious gloved hand while a [[tzeentch|sinister laugh]] echoes through the scene and ¨The End ?¨ appears at the end. Criminally, that ''was'' indeed the end. The movie didn't sell in the Colonies (although the Yooroes loved it). After this point one can turn to the comics for further continuation of the plot and story. Flash, Dale, and Hans continue their adventures on Mongo as well as Earth and other worlds, battling the forces of Ming and other sinister figures. The overall story and plot is varied and involves many adventures typical for the genre and the time it was written in.
