Have either of you heard anything good about MYNG lately?
I shoulda remembered that 1930's Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon movie that I have where he has to fight Ming of the planet Mongo. That should have been a hint that MYNG was destined for no good. I just found some of the dialouge -
Zarkov: Let us get our ray guns.
Barin: It's no use, doctor. The armor of those soldiers is ray-proof.
Zarkov: Here comes Ming the Merciless with his High Priest.
Dale: (Off mike) No . . . Flash!
Flash: Dale! Thank heavens she is alright.
Ming: Welcome back to my palace, Flash Gordon. And welcome to your companions. Soldiers, lash them to the pillar over there and execute them.
Dale: Oh, Flash darling. I love you so much.
Flash: Dale, my dear. We did our best to save you, but we've been betrayed. I guess they have us now.
Dale: Let them shoot. They will kill me, too, and we will be together, forever.
Ming: Very well, Dale Arden. You can have him in death. Captain!
Captain: Sire!
Ming: Proceed with the execution.
Flash: Shoot you yellow dogs. We aren't afraid to die.
Captain: Ready . . . aim . . .
Zogi: Captain, hold your fire!
Ming: Zogi! What is this? If you were not the High Priest, I would have your tongue torn out for your insolence.
Zogi: I ask you to remember, Sire, that according to the writ of Pau-oo even a traitor has the right to choose between the firing squad and the terrible pit.
Ming: True, Zogi. And on second thought such deaths would provide greater amusement.
Zogi: Yes, Sire. We must abide by the sacred writs. And I see no reason . . . uh . . . why the girl should be killed.
Ming: Captain.
Captain: Sire.
Ming: Release the prisoners. They shall undergo the terrible test. Bring them over to the pit.
