FLASH GORDON SAVIOUR OF THE UNIVERSE EDITION

FLASH GORDON
Saviour of the Universe Edition

Description: Don't miss this all-new Special Edition of Flash Gordon, starring Sam Jones and Timothy Dalton! In this intentionally campy adaptation of the famous comic strip, heroic earthling Flash Gordon must fight against the nefarious Ming the Merciless! Though the comic strip was previously the basis for the more serious 1930s serial, this version goes more for cartoon humor and was written by Lorenzo Semple, Jr., one of the central figures in the campy 1960s Batman television series. The lavish sets and exaggerated musical score by Queen are offset by the simple, bad-guy-wants-to-destroy-the-Earth plotline of this camp classic! Original Theatrical Release 1980. DVD Release 8/7/07.
