In reply to: Officer Torch 's message, "Re: Quiz, Comments, Discussion-1936 Serial" on 17:28:59 12/11/08 Thu

I am amazed and gratified at the magnificent response of Tim to the fiendish quiz posted by that crafty Officer Torch. Officer Torch may appear at times to be assisting our compatriots on this site but everything that transpires here is immediately communicated by Officer Torch to our sworn enemy, Emperor Ming.

I nominate Tim to the inner sanctum of FG followers, a very select and proven group of knowledgeable colleagues of our interplanetary hero. Let it be noted here that I myself was first admitted into this group only a short time ago after following Flash for over fifty years, being first exposed to our leader on Buster Crabbe's own TV show in 1952. It has taken me all these years of study to dare to present myself for combat on this site.

Congratulations once again to Tim! May the Light Bridge never fail to support you in your adventures!

The Answers:

1.) He's referring to the High Priest

2.) Barin's father was killed by Ming when he was a child.

3.) Flash said this to Ming when they first met in the throne room in CH 1.

4.) The large idol and its erotically-attributed dancers was built for the FOX film, 'Just Imagine' (1930) and used as stock footage in the 1936 serial. Re-used in the 1940 serial. The smaller idol was a set prop from 'The Mummy' (1932).

5.) False. Vultan strangled the High Priest and then stopped.

6.) False. It was Prince Thun who stopped the Gocko.

7.) CH 12 and the 13 recap sequence in the catacombs with the tame tiger who played the Tigron. Also, stock shots of the tiger were culled most likely from 'Tarzan the Tiger' (1929).

8.) The set prop was built for the film 'Metropolis' (1927).

9.) Lack of oxygen due to Zarkov's failure to turn the oxygen supply on, as they are passing through the Death Zone, as they are leaving the Earth.

10.) The location shots of the tunnel were shot at Bronson Canyon and in one of the caves. I know the place well.

11.) The interior set was built for 'The Invisible Ray' (1936).

12.) Ken Strickfadden, one of Universal's electricians. Seen in 'Frankenstein' (1931) and 'Bride of Frankenstein' (1935) as well as in other horror films.

13.) All apply to our fine-feathered friend.

14.) CH 8 after Flash defeats him in the tournament as they are waiting for Flash to fight the Orangupoid.

15.) Zona is one of King Kala's handmaidens and henchwomen. She was involved with Dale in most cases, like when she was holding her captive to watch Flash fight the Octosac. She was later put out of commission by Aura, in a fight as the palace was about to be flooded.

16.) Thun was holding onto his scabbard and using the sword to lunge until Flash took it away and beat him in the fight and they became allies.

17.) Dale of course, so Flash could meet her!

18.) True. He was the grandson of Arthur Middleton and grandfather to Burr Middleton, whom I know.

19.) You see him first appear in CH 8.

20.) Yes, in CH 13 to combat Ming.

21.) Strangulation to Torch!

22.) Dyed blonde as the film studios would use blonde as a purity in associating with a hero in male and female actors, just as actors with dark hair were cast as heavies. Also, the blonde was a carry-over from Jean Harlow, who was a big movie actress at the time.

23.) A: the Ming ship kills them with the ray.

24.) First, the pills to drug Flash and Barin as they have a victory drink (that is spiked) and they fall asleep. Then, the Drops of Forgetfullnes were administered to a semi-conscious Flash by Aura and the High Priest as they were about to enter the Tunnel of Terror, so Aura could take Flash for herself. The High Priest, in fear of being executed for exposing the secret of how to slay the Orangupoid to Aura, sounds the Sacred Gong and the Fire Dragon wakes up when news breaks out Barin and party are coming.

25.) The Tigron was given one of Dale's sandals by its Mistress and picked up her scent in the catacombs and found her. This was arranged by Aura with the Tigron's Mistress in private. The animal was sans a horn and by the time it could do anything serious, Flash had contained and killed it as "The Prowling Monster" cue can be heard from TWOL (1935). Dale: "Flash, you killed him!"


Rick (who is now ready for the Healing Vapors!), but as promised, I did it.
