The series was originally a single film, ''Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All'', written by Samuel A. Peeples, one of the writers for ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', and it turned out so well, NBC decided to have it as a [[SaturdayMorningCartoon Saturday morning TV series]] instead. This meant cutting up the footage for their usual animation cycles with more animation. In 1982, after the series was cancelled, the original film was broadcast for the first time on prime time and syndication.

Deleted Five Man Band example - poor indentation, zero-context. Part of TRS Wick Cleaning - cannot expand due to unfamiliarity with work.


* FiveManBand: Although they're not always together, Flash and his core allies do fit the trope fairly well:
** TheHero: Flash
** TheLancer: Barin
** TheBigGuy: Thun
** TheSmartGuy: Zarkov
** TheChick: Dale
** TheSixthRanger: Vultan

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity/manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.
