Let's not argue. Here, hold my hand.

- You want to reason with that?

- If it fails, I still have the gun.

Don't worry. I'll make it plain

I'm acting on my own.

- It's plain suicide.

- It's a rational transaction.

- One life for billions.

- Halt!

Proceed.

Hail Ming, hail!

Ruler of the universe!

Hail, Ming! Emperor of the galaxy!

The tributes of the Hawkmen

will be first.

- Are we dreaming?

- I'd like to think so.

The fabled Ice Jewel of Frigia.

- We seized it in battle.

- Stop!

The Ice Jewel is our tribute,

not Vultan's.

Vultan stole it

while we were burying our dead.

- You are a thief.

- What?

Let down your weapons!

No one, but no one,

dies in the palace -

- Without a command

from the Emperor.

Hail Ming.

You obey...

Or you sacrifice your daughter.

Hail Ming.

Now the tributes from Ardentia.

Your Majesty,

we, the people of Ardentia. -

- Have suffered

since you blasted our kingdom.

I can offer you nothing

except my loyalty.

Prince Thun,

we prize nothing more highly.

- And how great is this loyalty?

- Without measure.

We are delighted to hear it.

Fall on your sword.

Show us this loyalty.

Throw yourself onto your sword.

May this deed of Prince Thun be an

example to all the kingdoms of Mongo.

Death to Ming!

- This Ming's a psycho.

- This Ming is a psycho.

- Who said that?

- The fair-haired prisoner.

Come along, Fellini.

Remember me?

- Who are you?

- Flash Gordon. Quarterback.

Dale Arden, Your Highness.

Live and let live, that's my motto.

I'm Hans Zarkov. I kidnapped them

in an effort to save our planet Earth.

An obscure body, which has given you

so much amusement recently.

We're only interested in friendship.

Why do you attack us?

Why not?

Pathetic earthlings.

Hurling your bodies into the void. -

- Without an inkling of

who or what is out here.

If you knew anything about

the Universe, you'd hide from it.

Come closer.

Not you!

- You. Let us see you.

- No.

- Dale!

- Don't.

- Did you ever see such response?

- No. Truly.

She even rivals your daughter.

- What happened?

- Don't know, but it was sensational.

Remove the Earth woman.

Prepare her for our pleasure.

Forget it, Ming. Dale's with me.

- Stay back!

- Don't, Flash, they'll kill you.

I'll go with them, just...

You...!

Klytus!

Are your men on the right pills?

Maybe you should execute

their trainer.

Come here!

You fools. He's playing some

barbaric game. Match him, like this.

- Forty one! Forty two!

- Go, Flash, go.

Go, Flash, go!

Don't kill him yet, Father.

I want him.

Give him to me.

What would Prince Barin say?

I can handle Barin.

Please...

Really, Aura. Your appetites

are too dangerous. I refuse.
