Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All (3/9)

One of the greatest classics ever made. This animated movie was produced by Filmation before the 1979 Flash Gordon cartoon series, but did not actually air until 1982. It is considered the best film version of Flash Gordon, though it would never be broadcasted again following its premiere because the story is associated with Hitler's Third Reich. It was written by Star Trek writer Samuel A. Peeples, directed by Gwen Wetzler and more or less faithfully follows the early Alex Raymond comic strip adventures.

The score needs praising. Wonderfully epic and also wonderfully 1930s retro.

@anonyms404 I totally agree. One of the treasures from childhood the memories of this series is. I have never seen a better produced animated feature. Awesome!

@amaxamon Yeah! He certainly does!

@anonyms404 Well, Filmation Studios was way ahead of their time when it came

to special effects.

At 9:06... it sounds like one of the "ape" men is saying "Wario!!!!" (Nintendo character) I was daydreaming slightly when I heard it.

Princess Aura is so hot in this one. (this and the live action movie.) Although I thought she reminds me of Teela from Masters of the Universe.

Brife Comment-This was the last voice-over work of Ted Casiday,before his death

in January 1979. Casiday was also offered the role of "Dragos" in Filmation's live

"JASON OF STAR COMMAND" series-but it eventualy went to Sid Haig.
