I can remember only a two scenes: In one, one of the Arabs is stabbed on the other side of a door by a knife that has been plunged thru the door. Later, one of the Arabs says, “Where is Un-Kabar?” The response “Un-Kabar is dead.” (“Un-kabar” is the way I heard it when I was 8 years old, but it should be close.) This might have been made any time from the 40’s thru early 60’s. ---

No one was stabbed thru a door. Just my imagination. And they weren’t Arab’s. They were Mongo(l)ians. And the chap’s name was not ‘Un-Kabar’. The person actually said Emperor Ming. And the title of this ‘movie?’ The original ‘Flash Gordon’ (1936), either the last or penultimate chapter. I happened to catch this recently, and there’s no doubt in my mind it’s what I (mis-)remembered. (There was no ‘Café Society’ forum when this was first posted. ---

**Moderator Action** Cafe Society didn’t exist when this thread was created, but that’s where it belongs now, so let’s move it there (from MPSIMS). ---
