what my father was...
Until he let Klytus use bore worms.
I believe you.
But I don't trust you.
You're of Ming's blood. You'll cosy up
with him again in the morning.
Not if you give him this.
It's deadly poison.
He always drinks a power potion
before making love.
- Drop this into his glass tonight.
- I can't. I gave him my word.
- What word?
- To be a good wife...
If he'd spare Zarkov and Barin.
He vowed he would.
My father has never kept a vow.
Keeping our word is one of the things
that make us better than you.
A guard will take you to the waiting
room. Your Joyous Time has come.
You are to be prepared
for your wedding.
I'm lost. Nothing can save me now.
Flash Gordon approaching.
What do you mean,
'Flash Gordon approaching'?
{y:i}On a rocket cycle.
{y:i}Shall I inform His Majesty?
The Emperor would shoot you
for interrupting his wedding.
Fire when Gordon's in range.
He's escaping, idiot!
Dispatch War Rocket Ajax.
Charge the boosters.
- Flash Gordon in range, Captain.
- Fire!
- Shall we go in after him?
- No. Reduce velocity.
Our trap worked.
They'll follow me for sure.
Stand by, my Hawkmen!
- He's not coming out, sir.
- Prepare to electrify cloud.
Prepare sky nets to catch
Gordon's body. Fire capacitators.
- They're trying to flush you out.
- Let's go in.
Good. They're coming through.
Squadron 40... Dive!
Arm topside!
Second wave. Dive!
Stop engines. Repel boarders.
- Biro's hit. I'm going in after him.
- Impetuous boy.
Oh well, who wants to live forever?
Dive!
Biro, hold on, I'm coming.
- You all right?
- They winged me. Detonate the mine.
Blow it, Flash!
Let's get out of here.
Well done, Flash. Here.
Up there, Luro!
Come on.
Full velocity, all drives.
{y:i}Attention, all citizens.
{y:i}Behold the face
{y:i}of your Empress to be.
While you await the ceremony,
all channels will display -
- the execution of the traitors,
Barin and Zarkov.
Pick that up, would you?
Tell me more about this Houdini.
This is it.
At least it'll be over quickly.
Scanner malfunction,
area 7-7 delta, under repair.
- They've changed the code.
- I've changed too, Aura.
- I think I can work it out.
- Will you marry me?
We'll try.
Not now, Barin!
If I'm not at the wedding,
I'll be shot.
I thought it was the Zeitman series!
I haven't changed.
Everybody take off! Form a battle
stream behind the rocket.
Flash and me bail out
when the shooting starts.
- And keep your head down.
- See you in Mingo City.
Yes... with luck.
What are you setting there?
That's the time left for the Earth.
In minutes and seconds.
- Level with me. Will this do it?
- Yes, no doubt.
There's a lightning field at the
entrance. When this baby hits it...
It will blow that field dead.
My Hawkmen fly right in.
Let's see what Mingo City's saying.
Oh, my God.
- Rocket Ajax returning.
- With Gordon's body?
I presume so. Communications are off.
- Are they in the proper approach?
{y:i}- Negative.
- Open fire!
{y:i}- On Ajax?
{y:i}All weapons, now!
{y:i}Charge the lightning field.
I take responsibility,
in the Emperor's name.
Attention, all wedding guests.
There is no cause for alarm.
The weapons are being fired
in continuous salute. -
- In honor of His Majesty's wedding.
Come on, Flash.
It's time to bail out.
Sorry, I'm not coming.
The rocket cycle's gone.
- I'll carry you.
- Bail out, Vultan.
- Are you crazy?
- The fire's too heavy.
We'll never make it
with nobody at the wheel.
- It's suicide, Flash!
- No. A rational transaction.
- One life for billions.
- You'll be destroyed!
Looney bird!
Get out of here, they need you.
- Goodbye, Flash, it's been...
- I know. For me too, Vultan.
Tell Dale I know
it would've been good.
You must come from
one hell of a planet.
Not too bad.
Onward, my brave Hawkmen.
Let this be known forever
as Flash Gordon's Day!
- Freeze, you bloody bastards!
- Take us to Ming.
We do not lead traitors
to the Emperor.
We'll find
