Additional InformationHeroic earthling Flash Gordon saves the world from the nefarious Ming the Merciless in this lavish, intentionally campy adaptation of the famous sci-fi comic strip. The story is as basic as space operas get: Ming (Max von Sydow) has developed a plan to destroy the Earth, and Flash (Sam J. Jones) and his attractive companion, Dale Arden (Melody Anderson), are called upon to stop him. Along the way, Flash must battle Ming's goons and the temptations of a luscious space princess. Previously the basis for a more straight-faced 1930s adventure serial, Flash's story is mined here for exaggerated, cartoon humour by screenwriter Lorenzo Semple Jr., a central figure in the similarly campy '60s Batman television series. The simplistic plot mainly serves as an excuse for spectacular sets and cartoonish action sequences, all set to an appropriately over-the-top rock score by Queen. Certainly not a film to turn to for serious excitement, fine performances, or character development, FLASH GORDON has nevertheless developed an appreciative cult of fans who admire the film's humorous approach and the detailed, colourful production design.

Flash-Aaaaaagh!!! Saviour of the Universe!!
This films entertains me every time that I watch it. The picture quality was infinitely better than the standard Blu-ray release. Being a James Bond fan, I particularly enjoyed Timothy Dalton's performance as Prince Barin. This film should be left alone by the remake squad because you could NEVER be able to remake entertainment like this.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
