Dino De Laurentiis' "Flash Gordon"remains one of the most fun movies of all time [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2025-06-11

I have always thought everything about 1980s Flash Gordon was perfect. This video suggests otherwise.

This video taught me a lot about Flash that I didn't know. Still a favorite movie hero, and the only one I know of who kicks off the film in his logo wear, I would never have guessed there was any drama on set, or that so much dialogue was overdubbed.

Previously:

• Topol, star of 'Fiddler on the Roof' and 'Flash Gordon,' RIP

• 1980's Flash Gordon tee-shirt

• The Queen of England frigging loves Flash Gordon

• Flash Gordon coming to 4k

• Things I miss: Early 80s animated Flash Gordon

• Watch Queen's unreleased promotional video for the Flash Gordon theme (1980)
