That's sarcasm.

Dale never again wears anything nearly so hot as the white Mongo-wedding dress from the first serial, but the shorter dark hair she sports in Trip to Mars suits her a lot more than the Jean Harlow look she sported then. They had to recast the part in the next one, alas, but the new Dale does wear the skater-with-a-cape number pretty well.
Where they recycled big Tao and the dancing girls from - start at 1:29:26.My bad - I'd already posted this. Just Imagine was the first feature-length science fiction talkie, I believe.

Some Flash Gordon art*Gasped*
No Blade Runner yet. But it is one of my favorite movies...The left eye on the Dale Arden picture gives her the appearance of having a lazy eye. Was this particular feature intended? Otherwise, the other pictures are great ;b;.

In the 1970s, several noted directors attempted to make a film of the story. Federico Fellini optioned the Flash Gordon rights from Dino De Laurentiis, but never made the film.[26] George Lucas also attempted to make a Flash Gordon film in the 1970s. However, Lucas was unable to acquire the rights from De Laurentiis, so he decided to create Star Wars instead.[26][27] De Laurentiis then hired Nicolas Roeg to make a Flash Gordon film. However, De Laurentiis was unhappy with Roeg's ideas, and Roeg left the project.[27] De Laurentiis also discussed hiring Sergio Leone to helm the Flash Gordon film; Leone declined because he believed the script was not faithful to the original Raymond comic strips.[28][29] Finally, De Laurentiis hired Mike Hodges to direct the Flash Gordon film.[27]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Gordon#Flash_Gordon_1980_film
Flash Gordon (1954–55 live-action)[edit]
Main article: Flash Gordon (1954 TV series)
Steve Holland starred in a 1954–55 live-action television series which ran for 39 episodes.[4] The first 26 episodes had the distinction of being filmed in West Berlin, Germany less than a decade after the end of World War II. This is notable, given that some episodes show the real-life destruction still evident in Germany several years after the war. The final 13 episodes were filmed in Marseille, France.
In this series, Flash, Dale (Irene Champlin) and Dr. Zarkov (Joseph Nash) worked for the Galactic Bureau of Investigation in the year 3203. The actual timeline was established in one episode, "Deadline at Noon", in which Flash, Dale and Dr. Zarkov went back in time to Berlin in the year 1953. The GBI agents traveled in the Skyflash and Skyflash II spaceships.
The series was syndicated, appearing on stations affiliated with the long-defunct DuMont Network, and many other independent stations in the United States. Stylistic similarities with the Buster Crabbe films are obvious, and may have been desired by the producers.[weasel words] It was recut into a movie in 1957.
