Customer Reviews of Flash Gordon (Saviour Of The Universe Edition)
Gordon's Alive!! An absolute gem that wasn't the blockbuster it's producers would've wished for at the time, 'Flash Gordon' has become a cult classic over the years. And rightly so, it's great fun all the way, it's main weaknesses are the in the unknown leads cast (Sam Jones fails to really cut it as Flash) and some dodgy special effects that were ropey-even for the time. <

>What you do get is a movie that explodes with colour and energy. The wonderful support cast of gun actors lavish their roles with great charisma, gusto and wit. None more so than Max Von Sydow as Ming, he's simply sensational, given able support by Peter Wyngarde, wonderfully funny and menacing as Ming's creepy henchman Klytus. And has there ever been a sexier space vixen than Ornella Muti as Ming's daughter? Roaringly hot!! <

>For the good guys Topol is fantastic as Dr Hans Zarkov, and the ever charismatic Brian Blessed was born to play Vultan, Prince of the Hawkmen. And it's hard not to think of Errol Flynn while watching the younger Timothy Dalton in action as Prince Baron, he's a perfectly assured swashbuckler. <

>The design of the movie is eye popping. Then of course there's Queen's rousing score to add to the elation of this soaring piece of 80's feel good pop corn cinema. Flash Gordon entertains in grandly absurdist style.
One more thing I wish it had...
If they remixed the audio to 5.1, there is one additional thing they should have added - a music-only track. I'd love to actually be able to hear the incredible music Queen did without all the dialogue on the CD soundtrack. A DVD would be an easy way to provide this, as an alternate audio track, and I think hoping for a CD without it is wasted energy.
The only good thing about this release...
{Flash! Ah-ah...}

<
>The Savior of the Universe release with crappy cover art (give me the original poster art any day), a featurette about the artist who made the crappy cover art (doesn't Flash look wicked and more like Ming in it?), and a featurette about the screenwriter who also wrote the 60's camp classic Batman, as well as Never Say Never Again.

>Now that this is out, the people who have been selling the original DVD release for ridiculous amounts of money on eBay will have to settle for much less, and those who want to replace their old ones thinking this one will be a great buy will probably be selling their old ones for pennies. And that's the only thing good about this release!
