PATHETIC EARTHLINGS... WHO CAN SAVE YOU NOW? Super producer Dino de Laurentiis (Dune, Barbarella) brought Alex Raymond's beloved cartoon strip and the long running movie serial to the big screen with celebrated director Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Black Rainbow) at the helm, in a delirious space opera, where Flash is King of the Impossible! Merciless Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) decides to wreak havoc on Earth in a moment of cruel boredom. Boarding a rocket as a means of escape, star quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) find themselves on Mongo. Taken prisoner Flash must save Dale from becoming Ming's concubine, avoid the amorous intention's of Ming's wicked daughter Aura (Ornella Muti) and unite the warring Kingdoms of Mongo. With endlessly repeatable dialogue, inimitable camp style, the sonic stylings of Queen and a delightful band of characters and actors playing them it's no wonder Flash Gordon has become one of the most beloved sci-fi spectacles of it's era with directors such as Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Seth MacFarlane paying tribute to it in their work.

I enjoyed watching this movie again. The 4K quality is very good and made watching this again much more fun. The Queen soundtrack certainly adds to the appeal.

This film generally hasn't received great reviews, but I found it really fun to watch. I though the emotion expressed by the actors was really great. Also liked the music in the action scenes.

This set contains all three films from the Wachowski Siblings' The Matrix franchise. In The Matrix, a computer programmer discovers he is the only one able to save mankind from the machines; in The Matrix Reloaded, Neo must protect the Resistance from a rapidly approaching fate; in The Matrix Revolutions, Neo fights to end the war once and for all as the Machines locate the human city of Zion.

More than just violence
on July 31, 2020
Posted by: Goody
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first time I watched this film, I was put-off by the graphic violence. Since then, I've been intrigued by the psychological impacts on the central character, and his evolution throughout the film. The moral burdens of the characters, and how the story evolves, make this much more than just a graphic, violent, "slasher" movie.

Among the best WWII movies, ever.

Excellent casting, acting, and directing really make this an outstanding film. 4K visuals / special effects are very well done. Surround sound paired with the visuals put you in the middle of the action. Really well done.

Guy Ritchie at his best
By Goody
Guy Ritchie's best movie. Great cast, great plot, great acting.
I previously owned this on DVD, then on Blu-Ray. I was happy to see it released in a 4K version. I bought the Steelbook, which ahs nice cover art.
Good quality video and excellent soundtrack.
If you're not familiar with British accents and slang, you may need to watch it more than once to really understand what is being said.
Many funny twists, turns and subplots.

In reply to the question about the region coding
July 22, 2021
Yes, I watched this in the US on a US / North American Region Panasonic UB9000 Player. I assume this 4K version is region-free, but I don't know that for certain.
Will definitely play in the US.
