 Flash Gordon Flash Gordon Quote: Flash Gordon is a 1980 science fiction film, based on the comic strip of the same name, created by Alex Raymond. The film was directed by Mike Hodges and produced and presented by Dino De Laurentiis. It stars Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Chaim Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, and Ornella Muti. The screenplay was written by Lorenzo Semple, Jr., and adapted by Michael Allin. It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series Batman (for which Semple had written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films. The film is notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen (although orchestral sections were by Howard Blake).

It's a guilty pleasure, as it's so over the top corny, but it's very well done, and features an incredible soundtrack by Queen.

I remember watching this as a kid and loving it. So even though, I also liked 3 Ninjas then (which has a very funny scene in it, but I am getting off the point) and had no real taste in movies I am going to say it still rocks, even though I haven't seen it in a long time.
