Two year old me loved this movie and... I'm not going to lie, 41 year old me still loves this movie.
Flash Gordon is an 80s classic! I still love this movie after all these years. I love the Queen soundtrack! 100 x better and more heart than Star Wars sequel movies. If only Hollywood would wake up...
Haha im with you there
@@uncleremus7484 i wander wy this soundtrack never apeared on bohemian rapsody movie...is an important milewtone on Queen history
@@luisfelipegonzalez4423 Funny you mention that as I said the same thing after watching Bohemian Rapsody. They worked in Who want to live forever? from Highlander but nothing from Flash Gordon. Pretty big oversight if you ask me.
I'm a 19 year old film buff who loves old movies, now on a scale of 1 out of 10 should I watch this
That's it. Time to buy a 4K TV for this.
Already have it! All i need is the movie!
Still needs the player though
It’s like you’ve known me my entire life…
How did you go Scott?
That Queen soundtrack just makes everything better. 😌🎵🎶
I cant imagine the film would have even a fraction of its vibe without it. Freddie and the boys brought this to the next level.
I’m 44 years old now and I can remember in the early 80s when this movie came to cable television, I would watch this movie over and over religiously one of my all-time favorites!
This was the first film I saw in the cinema and the iconic Queen soundtrack still makes me smile every time I hear it
dispatch War Rocket Ajax to bring back a copy
Winning comment.
War Rocket Ajax is simply the best name ever for a ship
OPEN FIRE! *BZZWWW PEWWWW* ALL WEAPONS!!! *PPSZZZZ BANG BANG PEWWWWW!*
Omg! To bring back his BODY*! >.
AWESOME comment! I wish I could like it more than once!
“Go, Flash, go!!!!!”
I am so buying this!! I have loved this since I was a kid. And that soundtrack is just killer. Only Queen could have done something that awesome!
Somewhere, Seth McFarlane is smiling like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.
Where you go... I follow - Prince Barin to Flash after he saves him.
He could be behind it. 🤗
This is a 100% must own title, great job for remastering this one.
Bit of name-dropping here - I've worked with Richard O'Brien, Lionel Guyett (one of the Tree People) and been in films with Brian Blessed. Three cast members, three great guys.
The only movie that actually feels like reading a comic book
Nah there's loads that manage to do that. But this was the first to achieve it.
@@__-eo9nu Dick Tracy was another one too.
Kick ass? Scott Pilgrim?
Brian Blessed , got to be the best.
Dive!
Brian's the dude
Loudest man on Earth 🙂
Ornella in 4K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Gordon’s alive...?!”
DIVE!!!!!!!!!
I hope the sound is corrected on this release. The original Blu-Ray was really lacking in that area. There was more bass/low-end in the menu than the movie!
"Not the bore worms!"
Or as I like to call them, movie critics.
I saw this in the theater, and at 53 years old, I love now just as much as I did before. OMG, what a fantastic movie. I cannot praise it highly enough.
Met Sam J Jones tonight in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺! What a champ!!
I never understood why they didn't make a sequel to this movie, I loved it as a kid, watched it dozens of times
@@incognito9292 they don't market it well in the US because of the feud between Sam and Dino, no movie campaign with the main star appearing. But it hits high on Europe and Asia
They did make a sequel to this movie in the 90s, and it is awful.
They plan to make a reboot with director Taika Waititi. We will see.
@@vaiosan775 i hope they would never change the awesome Queen song.
I imagine the HDR on this will be mindblowing with the super colourful set designs and costumes
I’m so pleased with my copy! This really, truly kicked off 80’s cinema!
“Gordon’s alive?!”
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Flash Gordon.
That explains 2020, Ming is just toying with us Earthlings, bashing the various disaster buttons on his torment control board
I have loved this movie since day 1.....always will!⚡
would be helpful to see the 4k trailer guys..... one job lol
What do you mean "4K release" with no 4K trailer?
I did lol on your comment as it was the ionic line throughout the film
whaaaaaa
Exactly
Must..defeat..COVID..must have Flash in 4K!
This is Trash-Perfection! Higher Budget, People who love this genre behind the camera, actors who obviously had fun and a kick-ass soundtrack! Always a fun time!
One of the greatest films ever made! LONG LIVE FLASH!!! ⚡️
This made my 2020!!!! Go Flash Go!
This was filmed in 1979/beginning of 1980 and released in December, 1980 ( I saw it, with my Dad and brothers....when I was 4 years old). This is the quintessential film to end the decadence, cynicism, camp, technicolor , acid trip, rock-opera and disco of the 1970's. *"Flash Gordon" is STUDIO 54.....IN SPACE* .
"The Queen, it’s her favourite film, she watches it with her grandchildren every Christmas," said Blessed. Trying to imitate her accent whilst quoting her, he added: "You know, we watch Flash Gordon all the time, me and the grandchildren. And if you don’t mind, I’ve got the grandchildren here, would you mind saying ‘Gordon’s alive’?”
Just watched it. Awesome Awesome 😊 I relived my childhood in 4k
Right!?! ❤
There needs to be a video game with the same exact special effects and everything.. that would be amazing..
this is terrible. No shipping to Canada? Come on, UK, we are a colony for crying out loud!
“We are a colony for crying out loud”. LMFAO!!!!
True, it’s strange they aren’t thinking about our good Canadian friends
For both DVDs and Blu-ray, Canada is a different "region" from the UK... although most Blu-ray discs aren't region-coded.
This movie kicks ass.
Can the 4k version be streamed?
I was so in love with Ornella Muti in this movie.
RIP Chaim Topol. Sad news. Dr. Hans Zarkov, scientist.
still one of the greatest things ive ever witnessed
POUR THIS INTO MY EYE AND EAR HOLES RIGHT NOW
This is the first movie I ever saw.
So we are here to see Flash Gordon in 4K and the trailer is 1080P... WTF !!!!
Top...but yeah yeah 4k footage instead of 1080p. cannot wait.
GORDON'S ALIVE!
I hope this is coming to the US, too!
Brian Blessed's incredible overacting...now in 4K haha
DIIIIIVVVVVE!!!!
BRIAN BLESSED is always in 4K!
I'm so so overjoyed‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Just watched this not too long ago on the Comet channel and wished it was in HD. This is great! DIIIIIVE!!
Flash Gordon: The Game's Lost, Ming!
That is one kick ass trailer!
Turns 40 today!
I never read the 1930s comic strip. But it has the makings of a 1950s b movie with flashy effects, elaborate costumes, and colorful characters. The closest to looking like an actual comic come to life.
It balances earnest grandeur with winking humor. George Lucas wanted to do it originally but he got turned down. The main song by Queen is quite memorable. It's cheesy a lot but has fun acting as a swashbuckling adventure while also parodying some of it. There's a lot of eroticism sprinkled throughout then again it is a space opera and that's how the comic strips world was created. Taika Waititi is actually developing an animated version.
Thankfully the movie gained cult status over time because of its retro look and punk rock operatics. Cleverly paced, a feast for the senses, a catchy theme song, and has the right amount of cheese.
It's also the Queen Elizabeth's favorite film too.
LAAAWL the Queen loved it?!?!?
Wow! Is the movie as awesome as this trailer?
Better
So much better!
It's too bad they didn't make a sequel.
My thunder buddies and I are gonna shit bricks when this comes out! I mean, are you kiddin’ me? Flash-Freakin’-Gordon in 4K?! That’s wicked sick!
Could you add some more jumpcuts in this commercial? I'm pretty sure some of these clips are longer than 2 seconds. Please trim 'em down. (Sarcasm out)
Gordon's alive!
It's amazing how they make it look 4K ! Maybe they had that technology back then already...Just not the TV's to show it.
That sounds about right considering the constraints of old television standards. When I was a student about 20 years ago, because film did not deal with pixels, they used to just say outright that film stock had infinite resolution compared to digital cameras. But I've heard people suggest in recent years that it does seem like old 35mm film has a limit, and that the frames contain the equivalent resolution of a 4K digital image. But it is a tricky thing to answer because it can come down to how much noise and grain there is in the film image and what lenses may have been used in any one shot. And perhaps the scanning technology of tomorrow will reveal there is still more detail available from film at even higher resolutions?
@@tropicalcatdetective Fascinating! They did probably use top quality lenses on the would be blockbusters so that is a good thing, The way you explain old film being versatile over Digital is similar to the the way Digital sound of a CD is inferior to the sound of pure Vinyl sound, Although it is very clear it's not something you can re-master as well as you can from vinyl (I think).
@@garyholdsworth5658 Lenses are only part of it, the big worry is film grain.
@@tropicalcatdetective There are some amazing algorithms for interpolating film grain, and also to a degree, sharpness.
That said, the movie was almost entirely studio filmed, so is well lit so they could run a good exposure which helps a lot.
Cant they make the audio much better quality also? It still sounds like a low quality audio from an old movie
What a guy !
This has one of the best scenes on film..Timothy Dalton bursting into a room shouting "freeze! ya bloody bar$tard$ !" Simply awesome. The colours look great on this restoration. My Adult brain thinking "can I afford the box set?"...my child brain in a booming Brian Blessed voice "just live on pot noodles for time ! "
The battle theme kicks ass
Well, there it is ladies and gentlemen.

They really need to remake this movie.
Max Von Sydow great Ming!!!
Ima just say it. Always dug this more than Star Wars.
I better be able to get a copy of this in the US!
I hope this special edition will be available in the US soon. If not, I will brave the pandemic and fly out to the UK to pick up a copy!
0:31 is the best part.
They speak so highly of this flash. Think I'll watch this film. Hope he lives up to their expectations.
NGL this movie is fucking gold , sad no part 2
This movie is just pure fun!
I've never seen this movie but holy shit this looks good
If there's a juicier slice of ham out there I'd certainly like to see it.
Ornella + Queen
queen made it the best song i the movie
LONG LIVE FLASH!
YOU’VE SAVED YOUR EARTH!
HAVE A NICE DAY!
🙌YEAH!!!🙌
Classic movie
Is the dvd the restored one or the original?
This, and Disney's The Black Hole, and the first Tron, are unique 80s movies (well, most 80s stuff, movies, music, etc. was the best), sound, colors, story, etc.
I don’t understand why it failed at the box office. I would think knowing that Queen did the music would draw people in.
First album I bought
I love this film despite the terrible green screen effects.
Still love this brilliant soundtrack even though those crappy cleaning adverts have, maybe ironically, almost smeared such a great song.
Is this going to be available in the US? I might be able to get it imported and shipped to the US, but I don’t know if it will work or if it will be region locked? I LOVE this movie so I really want to get this!
i so can't wait for this and it already has my pre-order
Gordon’s alive?!
Only watching this cause of Queen soundtrack
Great eighties entertainment. The best fusion between comic and cinema
Could you release King Kong (1976) on Blu-ray here in the US please? I love that film. It needs to be released here.
Oh HELL YES!
PLEASE release in the US!
Does the Germany edition includes the same discs?
YES!!!
I Never Saw this Movie. I Will download and see it on blu-ray 😏.
Im fucking sold! Ahhh ahhh!
Awesome fun movie. Thankfully I have the blue-ray…..bought it mostly to see Ming’s daughter. Wow ❤️❤️😍😍😍. Now there’s a woman
⚡️Gordon’s alive?! In 4K!🚀☄️💥
I saw this movie at the movies, and thought it was the shit. Walked out of the movies singing that Flash, ha ah song for weeks, and possibly years, later
why isnt trailer in 4k then ?
Haven't seen this in Decades....🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️💙👻
