I just had a revelation about Hell, HOW Flash would be an idiot to fight the devil or supernatural powers. The devil would enjoy himself, from watching his minions get beaten, to personally fighting FLASH and tricking him into using supernatural tactics[to pretend he's getting hurt], because all it does is waste his time, instead of realizing how powerful his voice is.
This would be an ideal HELL for the devil...why? because he's having fun and the person is always going up hill.
I love Science fiction,Hard science fiction(books and movies)and crazy-naive science fiction as well !!!Flash Gordon,Logan's run and Star wars rules !
@sirroxalot I agree completely. A remake of this movie would be awesome. I loved this movie as a kid in the 80s. Especially the theme song when they played it on the radio. Ah those were the days. Let's petition for an updated remake. REMAKE REMAKE REMAKE.
I always been wondering, what was Flash Gordon "Special Power"? Except for wearing a tight lighting bolt suit. No matter how many times I watched this campy movie once in a while he doesn't seems to have any strength or lasers or anything.
@hanchiman i'm guessing no one in space ever played football so maybe it was his super tackle ability or the smooth juke. good question that i've been wondeing myself.
Considering that Flash Gordon was made (1934) before Superman (1938 but he didnt really "fly" until 1940), I guess the writer in that time didn't thought much about superhuman abilities. But I think thats the charm of Flash in that he is a "human" who fight against aliens that are out of this world with his human ability. Well Queen's song really do sum up about Flash Gordon being "one of us".
i loved this movie when i was a kid. its amazing how campy and European this film is, thats why it was so successful over here and why it flopped in America. R.I.P. Freddie
@LedZeppQueenBeatles it didnt flog that bad in the usa , also its no where near that rubbish euro television. out of 30 things produced in euro tv maybe 3 is worth watching .
@LedZeppQueenBeatles I'm an American, but a majority of my ancestors came from Europe and I'm proud to say that not only do I love European films, I absolutely LOVE this movie!
This movie knew exactly when it needed to be good and when it shouldn't be. I later read some of the old comics and was surprised to see how awfully bland Prince Barin and Princess Aura were. They were a couple from the start, banned from Ming's court, and basically there just to provide Flash with a safe place to hang out between adventures. Dalton's jealous swashbuckler and Muti's manipulative vamp, and their not entirely healthy relationship, were HUGE improvements on the original material.
Great film. I saw it as a kid and have been enamored ever since. As an adult I view it from a much different perspective....I think this movie (along with Cobra from G.I. Joe) is loosely based on Hitler's (Nazi) dictatorship. Thoughts?
Once you go back and watch some of the old Flash Gordon serials, you can really see how great this movie was. So many scenes were recreations of those 1930's, 40's and 50's versions, right down to some of the effects. Realizing that the special effects were "bad" on purpose really allows you to appreciate what they were doing with this film.
lousy video transfer : the movie ? Majorly lame. Sam Jones is bland as Flash. Only highlights : the gaudy, colorful production design. And the ultra yummy, beyond gorgeous Melody Anderson and Ornelia Muti. Wow and Wow.
not dolph lundgren???????? damn .. i always had he's pic in my mind as being flash gordon.. nevermind, its still a fantastic movie when i seen it 20 years ago :P
There was a cartoon series on TV and it was way better than the movie, more serious and adult. Like Batman TAS was better than all the Bat movies before Christopher Nolan movies.
Almost forgot Ornela Mutti was the best thing in the movie!
Its a poor mans Star Wars rip off? No it isnt, how can you even compare it to Star Wars. Watch the original Flash Gordan serial from the 30s and then maybe you will fully understand the intent of this movie. Special effects were plenty advanced at the time of this film, everything was diliberate in this movie including the cheesy special effects.
I saw this movie 2 or 3 times at the old Orleans 4 in Philly back in 1980 as an 8 year old kid. It's a poor man's Star Wars rip-off, but the campy, over-the-top nature of it still makes it memorable. Queen's score is what saved the movie from becoming total horse manure.
One of the BEST action movies EVER made!! How can you go wrong?? Great actors like Brian Blessed, Max Von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, and Topol...amazing score by QUEEN! I've seen this movie more than 150 times and it NEVER gets old!!
If you actualy watch this movie for what is was meant to be and what it is....it is intended to be a "throw back" to the serial epics of the 30s and 40s, IE: flash gordon, batman, superman, etc. so yes it was "campy" even for the time it was released, BUT..it was pure genius, to make a movie that was a "modern version of the original serial matinees.....besides...who would say tha princess aura was so damn hot to teen boys back then..and some adults now...lol..
