Review

Retaining the adventurous spirit and striking visual style of the original 1930s comic strip, and featuring an unforgettable soundtrack performed by Queen, Mike Hodges' Flash Gordon has become synonymous with the hugely successful blockbusters Superman, Star Wars and Scanners. The breakthrough film for Timothy Dalton, and arguably the showcase for Brian Blessed's most memorable role, Flash Gordon also stars Sam Jones as Flash, Topol as Dr Hans Zarkov and Max Von Sydow as Emperor Ming, The Merciless.
