The best era of FILMATION...when they didnt reuse animation cels every 5 min like in He-man...which is sooo awful to watch now....Flash STILL holds up as fantastic animation! this and the star trek cartoon!
NOW..onto one of the greatest bands of all time... QUEEN... the BRIDGE on this song is fucking amazing! sends chills up my spine...that mixed with ALEX RAYMONDS amazing art from the comics and strips...just genius!
BRAVO ON THIS VIDEO! FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD ON YOUTUBE!
awesome video!!!!!! i am a huge queen fan... (since 1975) and have been collecting comics for over 30 years..... nice melding of two of my favourite things!
I believe they could redo the movie now, but they might make it too campy or make the same mistake of the first one (it'll of course be a shorter film, since for some reason films are shorter now), but i digress, I LOVE QUEEN AND I LOVE THIS TUNE!
What a fantastic job you did on this. Blending the strips the movie and the cartoon serries together in an amazing blend. Loved that cartoon when I was a kid, Thanks so much!!
Somebody should do another Flash Gordon movie, with this as the theme obviously. With the success of a lot of the marvel comics movies in recent years nows a good a time as any. And Flash is just a normal guy in an extraordinary situation, no superpowers or any of that stuff.
Outstanding job on this video! I especially loved your including the montage of panels from Alex Raymond's comic strip used in the 1980 movie's opening credits. Were Freddie Mercury alive he'd probably approve of your work, after all he loved science-fiction art (tapping Kelly Freas to paint the News of the World LP jacket). Filmation did a fine job with this cartoon (heck, I didn't even mind Gremlin the baby dragon--but then I'm a Bat-Mite fan, too). Hail, Flash!
If this song doesn't make you want to go out and be a hero, you got no soul. And that's the whole truth, and that's all she wrote and that's the end of that.
Just wanted to add my compliments on this video. I think this one of the best interpretations of the original comic. Plus I also like the Queen song, so a nice combo! Nice work!
Great work. My 10 month old son and I like watching this clip. I forgot how much of a Flash Gordon fan I was. I remember reading the old comic strip and watching the old serials with Buster Crabbe on Channel 50. The kids nowadays don't realize what they are missing. (IMHO)
Queen and Flash Gordon; I remember the movie Flash Gordon, and it was good for its day. Flash Gordon and Ming The Merciless has some mythology problems, thus we see a lot of "flash" in gadgets, gizmos, and apparently some magic make their appearance in the Flash Gordon ideas. Ming the Merciless has come to represent the figurehead of the Beast of Society, that only consumes, pleasures itself, and Ruler of the Universe.
freddie mercury is a musical genius. there will NEVER be a band like Queen. Brian May is also my favourite guitarist ever and this is one of my favourite songs ;)
Aaah I remember watching this every single day as a kid... awesome cartoon. sure live action is kind of cheesy but it has it's value and I wouldn't call it a piece of crap.
A reminder of why Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest voices of our time and Queen, a band that was able to actually tap into emotions. I forgot how cool this song was. I mean, if you can make Flash Gordon seem important, then you must have talent.
@thereelstuff I still think Flash Gordon is important; he's a lot better than Buck Rodgers :P I get what you're saying though, only Freddie Mercury could have sung this song.
@thereelstuff I can not think of any else band able to perform this them but Queen- even I am not a Queen fan. As we say in Spanish, "honour whom deserves be honoured".
That was awesome, it's too bad that the current generation is completely unaware of the existense of such great film. Excellent editing, my favorite part are the shots of Flash holding Dale.
Tha Flash is owned by DC Comics and is on tha Justice League..FLASH GORDON has been around hell I believe since tha mid 20's in comic book,radio,and serial movies
I am a big fan of the motion picture, didn't know there was a cartoon! Simply excellent job of editing the clips with the music! One of the best soundtracks ever. Now I gotta find out where to get the cartoon from, lol.
Guauuuuu ¡¡¡¡ esta si era una verdadera caricatura de ciencia ficción; Increíble video y música de Queen gracias por deleitarnos con tan buen material ¡¡¡
Hey there. Certainly Flash Gordon is not a "super hero" considering he has no super powers whatsoever. Precisely the cool thing about Flash Gordon is this idea that you dont need superpowers to change the world, but will, honourability, and teamwork. Thats all about it. Just a man, as Queens song has it. Thank you por posting!
Funny enough, Sam Peppels, who wrote Flash Gordon´s pilot for Filmation, suggests Flash may be a colored person; he won two gold medals in Germany's Olympiad, just as Jesse Owens did.
Wow, I haven't thought of this cartoon in ages. I loved watching this when I was growing up. The sheer number of creative characters and space ships had me enthralled.
anybody else get shiver up there spine during the bridge? (he's for every one of us..) or is just me?
