In 1966 "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe" was edited down by King Features Syndicate into two feature-length films for television syndication: "Purple Death from Outer Space" and "Perils from the Planet Mongo". In the early 1970s, a third feature version was re-edited for the 16 mm home movie market, using story material taken from the entire serial. It bore the title "Space Soldiers Conquer the Universe" and later appeared on television during the 1980s. Afterward, all three edited feature-length versions became available through various public-domain video sellers, first on VHS videotape and later on DVD.
