Great mash-up of the comics and the cartoon. I love this show...and the song stands among the best music for space heroes and in rock 'n roll. Awesome job, man!
Listening to this song makes me feel like i am flying in the speed of sound!! A rush of adrenaline just goes throught my veins every time i hear this song!! Fucking awesome!!
When I was 8 years old, my parents took me and my brothers to the movies, we saw Flash Gordon. The thing I remember the most was the music...from that day I became a Queen Fan.
To this day I still don't know how Freddie Mercury managed to sing this song at that highoctave and managed to get vibratto in it as well! just incredible vocals!
its 'triumph/victory' music. characteristic of 80's type rock and heavy metal. you always lift yourself up and WIN. in contrast to the 90's tunes. 90's tunes had good music, but their character was too damn EMO and stupid.
This video is great!!! Everything a true Flash Gordon fan could hope for. In the words Laura Kightlinger at the end of Tenacious D - "Friendship": You did it. You blew me away ... Now which one of you a** holes is gonna f*** me?
I saw the movie when I was 12... great music! I bought the CD yesterday! Just don't understand why these guys wrote songs like "radio ga ga" in the future...
You did a great job. I am a big fan of the live action movie and music. This was sheer brilliance. Thanks for doing it. If I could give you ten stars I would.
Well done on creating this great little vid! must've watched it 30 times now! Good job on the editing and matching the images up to the music. It's a real kick ass song The Hero! I wish they would release this old filmation cartoon here in the UK!
EXCELLENT sound, and I might have to check out the cartoon as well! I've never seen it before. (Though I LOVE the Flash Gordon serials, the TV show, and the Sam Jones film so I dont know why I HAVENT checked it out yet!)
what have I been missing out on? here's Flash Gordon just vaporizing dudes, electrocuting Mars-bots, siccin' lions on folks. my latest interest just developed.
Just fantastic! You`ve mixed tv cartoon, comic stills, movie credits and a fantastic music like they had been done especially for your clip. You have a great future in movie edition. Hope professional guys take a look at your job. Go ahead and thank you from a brazilian fan of Flash/Queen and now assurbanipal II.
Effing brilliant song masterfully married to one hell of a good video clip! As has been mentioned before: outstanding editing! I thoroughly enjoyed this - 5stars and favourited!!!
The series used to be actually pretty disturbing at a certain point. But I'll always remember that the Hawk men were absolutely expendable... They died like toy soldiers.
Are you kidding?: Gorgeous girls, amazing battles, action adventure, and a noble hero capturing the imagination of a distrusting world towards the common ill.
@assurbanipalsegundo Flash Gordon is american socialist hero, no special powers, only power to the people and equality for all. Take look at its authors, all died in strange circumstances, and you will never find flash next to batman, or other comics :) SOCIALISMO O MUERTE; LOVE YOU FLASH
hey. you have tallent and you appreaciate the real movie and series. not that crap that scifi put out. i bet you could show them what a real flash gorden series should look like.
You deserve it. Great job editing the cartoon clips with the still shots of the comic strips! I actually went out and bought the series on dvd because of this video(dvd only cost $10 at Frys!).
Oh this is pretty cool. That's the Flash Gordon cartoon from ca. 79, I believe. I remember it airing around the same time the Flash Gordon movie came out.
I just want to thank everyone for your comments. I had a big bunch of fun making the Flash Gordon videos. I wanted to portrait this world not as an obsolete echo from the past, but as the fertile source of inspiration that has been for generations to anyone trying to develop every new action hero, whether in a comic book, a movie or in a TV show. Thanks to all. I am glad that you enjoyed them.
Unbeknownst to most, Flash's real last name is Freeman. He uses Gordon so people wont know his role in the Black Mesa incident.
