POPULARITY
Chosen by Dave and Directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis, Flash Gordon arrived in 1980 as a gloriously extravagant attempt to bring Alex Raymond's classic comic-strip hero back to the big screen. With a budget reported at around $20–27 million, the production went all-in on enormous studio sets, lavish costumes and deliberately colourful, old-school effects. Sam J. Jones took the title role alongside Melody Anderson, Max von Sydow, Ornella Muti, Topol, Timothy Dalton and a magnificently enthusiastic Brian Blessed.And then, of course, there's Queen. The band supplied the film's unmistakable rock soundtrack, accompanied by Howard Blake's orchestral arrangements, giving Flash Gordon one of the most recognisable scores of the era. The film performed strongly in the UK but struggled in some international markets, putting an end to plans for sequels. Over the decades, however, its combination of camp spectacle, huge performances and unapologetic excess has turned it into a genuine cult favourite.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISWhen Earth finds itself at the mercy of a mysterious cosmic threat, one man is about to discover that saving the world requires courage, determination... and apparently being quite good at American football.Transported to the strange world of Mongo, Flash Gordon must face the merciless Emperor Ming, survive bizarre kingdoms, forge unlikely alliances and somehow convince everyone that a bloke called Flash really might be humanity's best hope.Prepare for spaceships, Hawkmen, ray guns, royal treachery and enough gold lamé to bankrupt an entire galaxy.FUN FACTSProducer Dino De Laurentiis originally considered Federico Fellini to direct the film.Mike Hodges later described the troubled production as essentially an improvised $27 million movie.Max von Sydow's elaborate Ming costume reportedly weighed more than 70 pounds, making it difficult for him to remain standing for long periods.Sam J. Jones had his naturally dark hair bleached blonde to play Flash, while Melody Anderson's blonde hair was dyed brown for Dale Arden.Jones was also supposed to wear blue contact lenses, but couldn't tolerate them.Dino De Laurentiis reportedly didn't know who Queen were when the band was first suggested for the soundtrack.Queen's Flash Gordon soundtrack album reached number 10 in the UK album chart.Brian May wrote the immortal “Flash's Theme”, while Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon also contributed individual pieces to the score.Kenny Baker, best known as the man inside R2-D2, makes a small appearance as a dwarf in the torture chamber.The cast were originally signed for multiple Flash Gordon films, but the planned sequels never materialised.SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Sam J. Jones on Flash Gordon, Fear, Fame, and Life Beyond Hollywood In this episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with actor Sam J. Jones for a funny, candid, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about Flash Gordon, staying grounded in Hollywood, working security outside the movie business, fan conventions, and the mindset it takes to survive a long career in entertainment. Sam reflects on the pressure of carrying a cult classic, why Flash Gordon still connects with audiences decades later, and how discipline, humility, and preparation shaped both his acting career and his life off-screen. The conversation also dives into Sam's work on The Spirit, Under the Gun, and Life After Flash, along with behind-the-scenes stories about conventions, celebrity encounters, comic timing, and one unforgettable Harley-Davidson wrap-party moment. It's a warm, honest episode packed with old-school Hollywood perspective and practical life wisdom. Guest Bio: Sam J. Jones Sam J. Jones is an American actor best known for playing the title role in Flash Gordon (1980).

We return to our rundown of Flash Gordon, just as Flash and Prince Barin are being taken to the Hawkmen's planet to fight to the death!Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema.We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone.The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers.Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters. The combination of Freddie Mercury's operatic flair and Howard Blake's orchestral compositions gave Flash Gordon a sonic identity that still feels fresh today.We also look at the film's eclectic cast. Sam J. Jones' brief but memorable career, Melody Anderson's move from acting to social work, and Ornella Muti's headline-grabbing life and legal troubles. There's Max von Sydow's path from The Seventh Seal to The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Topol's secret links to Mossad, Timothy Dalton's long and winding journey to becoming James Bond, and Peter Wyngarde's transformation from Department S to the gold-masked villain Klytus.And, of course, the mighty Brian Blessed — mountaineer, Shakespearean thunder-god, near-astronaut, and national treasure. From I, Claudius to Doctor Who, Cats, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and beyond, he's one of Britain's most extraordinary performers.In this episode, we unpack the layers of Flash Gordon as both cult classic and chaotic masterpiece: how its bright visuals masked a difficult shoot, how its camp sensibility influenced generations of filmmakers, and why it remains a cornerstone of British sci-fi fandom. Whether you're here for trivia, nostalgia, or the Queen soundtrack alone, this is one of our most detailed episodes yet — and we'll be back next week with part two to finish the adventure.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Sorry this one's a bit late — but to make up for it, we've gone all in with an extra-long episode of General Witchfinders, split into two parts. This week, we take you through the extraordinary, over-the-top world of Flash Gordon (1980) — the space opera superhero film that blended camp comedy, science-fiction spectacle, and Queen's iconic soundtrack into something truly cosmic. The second half of this intergalactic adventure will land next week.

Zo somehow finds himself on a strange world. He doesn't know if he's on a different planet, timeline, dimension or reality, but the one thing that he knows for sure is that he's not in Kansas anymore! In this place there are remarkable sites: floating forest covered moons in the upper atmosphere, floating mountains, a hovering city. There are strange creatures, robots and a variety of people: winged people fill the skies, tree people haunt the forests, and soldiers in gold and red armor patrol the ground. The different tribes seem to bicker with each other, and Zo is saavy enough to understand that there is an over arching presence that oppresses them all. What they need is a unifying force that could band them together so that they might fight their common foe and free themselves from the tyranny that they all live under. Could the hero with the charisma to unify them come in the form of the New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon? Episode Segments00:04:59 Opening Credits for Flash Gordon starring: Sam J.

Actor and former football player Sam J Jones joins Frank Mackay on this episode of The Frank Mackay Show!
This episode is quite literally the top of my mountain, my crown jewel moment, the summary of every podcast and every Comic Con I have attended. At the Great Lakes Comic-Con, I got to spend the entire weekend with Sam J. Jones himself, better known as Flash Gordon, Quarterback, NY Jets and Savior of the Universe. Growing up, Flash Gordon was on the same level as Star Wars to me, and I was not only star struck, but in awe of what an amazing person Sam Jones is. They always say, "Don't meet your heroes.", but in this case, I am so happy I was able to. I spent the entire weekend talking with Sam, but got to record our conversation for about 20 minutes where we talked about Hollywood, Flash Gordon, his appearance in Ted, his family, and life in general. This was bittersweet however, as the founder of Great Lakes Comic-Con, Mike DeSantis, tragically passed away a couple days before the event. I didn't get to thank him for this opportunity, but I am sure I will one day. RIP Mike. A million thank yous to my producer and co-host Randy Walker who spent hours cutting up 2hrs and 45 minutes of raw footage (because I didn't know how to work the Zoom mic).

Flash Gordon es un personaje que ha dejado una huella indeleble en la cultura pop desde su creación en 1934 por el artista Alex Raymond. Originalmente concebido como un cómic de ciencia ficción, Flash Gordon se ha transformado en un fenómeno multimedia, con adaptaciones que incluyen series de televisión, películas y, por supuesto, una memorable banda sonora. El cómic de Flash Gordon fue creado en un contexto donde la ciencia ficción comenzaba a florecer. La historia sigue a Flash, un joven aventurero que viaja al planeta Mongo para enfrentarse al tiránico emperador Ming el Despiadado. A lo largo de sus aventuras, Flash es acompañado por Dale Arden y el Dr. Zarkov, quienes juntos luchan contra las fuerzas del mal en un universo repleto de criaturas exóticas y tecnología avanzada. En 1980, Flash Gordon dio el salto a la pantalla grande con una adaptación cinematográfica dirigida por Mike Hodges. Protagonizada por Sam J. Jones como Flash, Ornella Muti como Dale Arden y Max von Sydow como Ming, la película se destacó por su estética vibrante y su enfoque camp. La trama sigue a Flash mientras intenta salvar la Tierra de la destrucción inminente provocada por Ming. Aunque recibió críticas mixtas en su lanzamiento, con el tiempo ha sido reevaluada como un clásico de culto gracias a su estilo visual extravagante y sus momentos memorables. Uno de los elementos más icónicos de la película es sin duda su banda sonora, compuesta e interpretada por la legendaria banda británica Queen. Con temas como "Flash's Theme" y "The Hero", la música complementa perfectamente las imágenes coloridas y las secuencias épicas del film. La energía explosiva y el estilo teatral de Queen aportaron una dimensión adicional a la película, convirtiendo las escenas en momentos inolvidables. La colaboración entre Queen y Flash Gordon fue innovadora; no solo ayudó a consolidar la reputación de Queen como pioneros en el uso del rock en el cine, sino que también dio lugar a una banda sonora que sigue siendo celebrada hasta hoy. La música captura la esencia del héroe clásico y se ha convertido en sinónimo del personaje. La combinación del cómic original con la película de 1980 ha inspirado a generaciones de creadores en el cine, la televisión y los videojuegos. La banda sonora de Queen continúa resonando entre los fanáticos, celebrándose en conciertos y eventos relacionados con la cultura pop. En conjunto, Flash Gordon representa un viaje épico que combina acción, aventura y música inolvidable. Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de EDITORIAL GCO.

Hay películas que por ser mediocres pasan desapercibidas. Flash Gordon dirigida por Mike Hodges, usando una estética steampunk. Producida por Dino de Laurentiis, contó con música del grupo Queen y un reparto internacional encabezado por Sam J. Jones, Chaim Topol, Timothy Dalton, Max von Sydow y Ornella Muti; es una de esas películas con bastante presupuesto que acabó siendo la típica película de Serie B que se convierte en un film de culto, y a uno se le queda en la memoria como el recuerdo de un viejo amigo.

This week we're back in 1983! Kornflake shares a goofy 1983 commercial for Dial soap, while Kevin takes an absurdly quick look at the pop music of 1983. It was the year new wave conquered the Top 40, and we approved. (For more complete coverage of 1983 music, we refer you to recent episodes of White Rocket Entertainment and Modern Musicology. While the Flopcast covers Kajagoogoo, they take care of everything else.) We also stopped by Northeast Comic Con (aka Music Con) and saw members of the Monkees (Micky), the Runaways (Cherie), the Ramones (Richie), and the Stompers (Sal)! A Monkees cover band called Zilch was there too, as well as old friend of The Flopcast (and, as Flash Gordon, savior of the universe) Sam J. Jones! Plus: A concert report on Elvis Costello and the Imposters (along with Charlie Sexton) and Nick Lowe (along with his Mexican wrestling-masked backup band Los Straitjackets). And best of all, Happy Birthday to America's 1980s sweetheart, Phoebe Cates! Celebrate by watching Private School. It's not Phoebe's best movie, but it is Phoebe's 1983 movie.

"Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" We invited over Trek Culture's Seán Ferrick back on the podcast to watch the camp extraveganza Flash Gordon (1980). Like the renegade cousin strung out on psychedelics to George Lucas's more successful Star Wars Flash, Gordon is one of our favorite cult classics to come out of the early 1980s. Nobody knew how to put on a show like Italian movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis, and Flash Gordon has it all. Playgirl coverboy Sam J. Jones as our sincere beefcake protagonist, the wooden tour de force performance of Melody Anderson as Dale, Max von Sydow chewing the scenery as Emperor Ming the Merciless (culturally insenstive is an understatement here). All political correctness aside, Flash Gordon is still a good time. We talk about Timothy Dalton doing the most with the least amount of character of the bunch, Brian Blessed playing his performance to the back row with his army of harness clad Winged Hawk-Men. Not to mention the rocking score by Queen. This movie went onto be a huge inspiration to Seth McFarland, Taika Waititi, and Edgar Wright for it's insanly fun imagry. FLASH Ah-ah He'll Save Every One of Us!

An Unlikely Angel is a heart-warming story about a successful NYC toy executive Janie Caswell (Murray) who faces her biggest challenge yet; being a mom. Although she is fully in control in the boardroom, she is a complete wreck at the thought of becoming a mom. She is afraid she will get it all wrong, or worse, get it right and then suffer the same illness that took her mom away from her so early in life. Through an answer to prayer and the help of a New York Cabbie/angel (Robert Amaya), Janie gets a chance to see what her life could be in the future. Janie realizes that the baby years go by fast, and childhood is too precious a time to waste. Janie is miraculously offered the chance of a "do-over" and relishes every moment of being a wife and new mom.

Later we talk spoilers for She-Hulk and Medieval Deliverance....I mean...House of the Dragon.Skungy's Pick of the Week is Disney Dreamlight Valley.

SAM J. JONES BIO SAM J. JONES is best known as FLASH GORDON (1980) in the Dino De Laurentis cult classic film of the same name, beating out Kurt Russell and Arnold Schwarzenegger for the role.

He is currently co-starring in the movie AN UNLIKELY ANGEL, streaming on Pure Flix (www.pureflix.com) on August 26th with Jillian Murray (Sonny with a Chance), Aaron Mees (Christmas in the Pines) and Robert Amaya (Courageous). Sam was born in Chicago but grew up in Sacramento, CA.

His acting resume includes HBO's 1st & Ten, The A-Team, Baywatch, Diagnosis: Murder and Walker Texas Ranger. Sam is best known as the Flash Gordon which required him to do many of his own stunts in the film. He worked alongside Timothy Dalton (who would later play James Bond).

(From February 2018)Flash (Ah-Ahhh!) Gordon hit theaters in 1980 to little fanfare, but is most remembered for the awesome soundtrack by rock group, Queen. Outlandish costumes and a wacky performances from cast members like Sam J. Jones, Brian Blessed and Max Von Sydow have made the movie a cult classic among fans of so bad it's good cinema over the years . And despite a comedic return appearance in Seth McFarlane's Ted movies, we still haven't gotten a follow-up film.Only the SequelQuest crew of Adam, Jeff and Jeramy, along with our mighty guest host Carlin Trammel of the Nerd Lunch podcast (http://nerdlunch.net/podcast/) are brave enough to attempt a return to Mongo for an exploration of whether or not, “Gordon's Alive” and where his adventures have taken him.This energetic conversation deals not only in hypothetical plot scenarios, but also the history of Flash Gordon in animation and ideas for fast food tie-in promotions and toys that should have existed in the 80's. Plus, you won't want to miss our special intro theme that kicks the show off into a new universe.

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan put on their codpieces and fret over the innocence of teenage girls around David Bowie. Don't get us wrong, we love this movie, but why does this charming children's tale have a character named after the part of the anatomy responsible for transporting sperm? And why do so many sequences resemble sperm? And if all of these things are symbols for sperm, what does the Bog of Eternal Stench represent? We shudder to think… Labyrinth (1986) d. Jim Henson w.
