comment
Flash Gordon was a 1996 animated TV series loosely based on the comic strip of the same name. In this version, Flash and Dale are teenagers with a fondness for skateboarding — or in this case hoverboarding — who accidentally get trapped on the planet Mongo thanks to their bumbling scientist friend, Dr. Zarkov. There they are thrown headlong into a rebellion against the reptilian dictator, Emperor Ming. But they aren't alone in their fight; they have help from some of the natives including the gallant hawk man, Prince Talon, and the fierce yet honour-driven lionid, Princess Thundar.The people behind this series also did Phantom 2040, which depicted Flash Gordon's King Features stablemate The Phantom (or rather, his descendant) as a teenager with a flying motorcycle.The entire series can be watched on Tubi in select countries and Plex TV.

Appease the Volcano God: There were no gods involved, but Dale and Dr. Zarkov were almost thrown into a volcano by some crazy cave people.

comment
Mythology Gag: When we first meet Flash, he's playing a space simulation arcade game called "X-9". Named after Secret Agent X-9, a comic strip drawn by Flash Gordon creator Alex Raymond. The dyna-crystals appear to be a reference to the Dynak-X computer in Defenders of the Earth and its crystal core.

comment
Enemy Mine: In one early episode, Ming and those rebelling against him grudgingly ally against invaders from another planet who attack both sides indiscriminately. The other aliens are Ming's people in disguise, and he is just trying to lure the resistance into a trap under the guise of cooperation.

And the Adventure Continues: The final scene shows the heroes still trapped in the alien dimension but confident that their loved ones will mount another rescue attempt in the near future. They then continue with their regular adventures while saying that things are looking interesting.

Hoverboard: Flash, Dale, and even Dr. Zarkov use these to get around Mongo (when they're not using starblazersnote Has nothing to do with this), coming naturally to Flash and Dale, since it's just like using a skateboard on Earth
