Dig those clay people

One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Ford Beebe and Robert Hill; Produced by Barney Sarecky, for Universal Pictures. Screenplay by Norman Hall, Ray Trampe, Wyndham Gittens and Herbert Dalmas; Photography by Jerry Ash; Edited by Joseph Gluck, Louis Sackin, Saul Goodkind and Alvin Todd. Starring: Buster Crabbe, Jean Rogers, Charles Middleton, Frank Shannon, Beatrice Roberts, Donald Kerr, C. Montague Shaw and RIchard Alexander.

Entertaining sci-fi serial, as crude as its predecessor, but distinguished by the cute flying city and the fine clay-people special effects.

Trivia
In the stock footage from Flash Gordon (1936), shown in this film, as Flash is telling The Clay People about his previous encounter with Emperor Ming, Ming is bald and Dale Arden has blond hair. In this sequel, Ming has "pasted on" hair and Dale is a brunette. It has been reported that Jean Rogers (Dale Arden) had many other film roles pending at that time (1938) that called for her to be a brunette.

Goofs
This movie picks up the action from Flash Gordon (1936) as they return to Earth from Mongo (ie: They are still returning from Mongo). At the end of that first movie, they took off for Earth in Zarkov's Space ship but they are now in a Mango Space Ship (with the nose ray gun). The cliffhanger of Chapter 1 has one of the engines shot off the ship and at the start of Chapter 2 (after the cliffhanger resolution) Ming looks at the engine and says "It is from the ship they stole from me".
