Production
Plot points taken from the preceding serial, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.
The chamber of the death dust experiments was previously used in the Buck Rogers serial. One money-saving gimmick used by Universal Studios was to take some exciting mountain climbing search and rescue scenes from the obscure German film White Hell of Pitz Palu (1930) and its music as well.
Donald Curtis, playing Ronal, Flash's right-hand-man throughout the serial, isn't seen in this film. At the same time, co-star billing is given to Anne Gwynne, Universal ingenue whose role does not develop until the middle of the serial.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
