I met Sam J. Jones at a comic-con a few years ago. I was blown away by how friendly he was. I was a high schooler at the time, and he asked me about where I wanted to go to college. He also gave me advice and told me not to listen to all the noise and naysayers in the world. I just thought I was getting a quick picture and autograph. Sam J. Jones actually took time to talk with me. I'll never forget that. He's a good man.

first saw this when I was 14 with my family, and even then we all realized it was being played for laughs and was ridiculous and campy...and it's brilliant for being that. Everyone in it looks like they're having the best fun, and it reflects back to the audience. It had to find its niche between Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, and Steven Spielberg's films, and to my mind chose exactly the right tone. the outrageous colour palette and costume/set design are as trippy and OTT as they were in 1980, and the whole thing holds up terrifically. Queen were the perfect composers (Oscar Nominated for this), being both campy, good humoured, and totally, epically Operatic, and clearly understanding the mission statement! Just listen to Freddie hit the highest of notes as Flash has to strip down before the Princess who just rescued him! I watch this once a year as a tribute to Queen/Freddie and Flash Gordon on December 1st, which is also International World AIDS Day.

Among all the Queen music played on the radio , I have never heard their Flash Gordon music played. Not once. I wonder if there are legal reasons for this , but I consider this theme to be one of the best compositions that band has ever done. Stands among their greatest recordings in my opinion.

R.I.P Topol!!! The best actor I have seen in a musical. Besides the girl from the 1980 Annie movie. Fidler On The Roof and Annie are my favorite musicals. And I am not even a musicals fan. But those two movies were great. Topol was 87 when he died a few days ago. He played the scientist for you all that don't know.

Flash Gordon along with Men in Black are both one of my absolute favorite sci-fi films. I always had a soft spot for Flash Gordon, the theme song for Flash Gordon by Queen is absolutely iconic, and I love Men in Black as one of my all time favorite films. Flash Gordon had a stellar cast like Max von Sydow, Topol, Timothy Dalton, and Brian Blessed, I enjoy Flash Gordon way better than The Black Hole 1979 and Moonraker on repeated viewings, and Ornella Muti was gorgeous as Princess Aura. Max von Sydow was awesome as Emperor Ming, the scene where Flash Gordon plays football against Emperor Ming's guards was the best scene of the film, and Max von Sydow as Emperor Ming as well as Darth Vader from Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back and Edgar the Bug from Men in Black are my absolute favorite sci-fi villains.
