to:
* OpeningScroll: Invented it.Only the third serial, ''Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe'', utilized this (and it wasn't the first, as Universal had used this recap method in its serials starting in 1939). The first serial used non-scrolling text to recap the previous chapter, and the second utilized comic book-type art for its recaps.

The second and third serials also made increasing use of recycled footage from earlier in the series.
