Ah yes, Flash Gordon. The pinnacle and perfection of the film-makers’ art. Also, I happen to be playing in a campaign led by one of the contributors to the Savage Worlds “Flash Gordon” RPG, which rocks.

My BFF from high school, when seeing the movie, didn’t quite make out Brian Blessed’s over-the-top “First wave, dive!!!” during the hawk-men’s attack. He thought he was saying “First wave, die!!!” which tbh is metal as fuck.

I’ve liked BB ever since his Augustus in I, Claudius.

I don’t understand why the Hawkmen are messing around on the ladders… They’re hawkmen. Their key feature is that they fly.

I was aware of him (as Augustus) in the moment, but only 9 years old, so not terribly interested in I, Claudius. However, I am interested in picking it up.
