I would have paid good money for that satnav.

The movie was released in 1980, not 1985. Which, thanks to its set-dressing is immediately apparent upon anyone seeing it.

One of my all-time favorite movies! The soundtrack keeps the whole movie fun and light-hearted.

In my headcanon the character Max von Sydow portrayed during his brief cameo in The Force Awakens was actually just an older, mellowed-out Ming the Merciless.

I’m picturing a triangle of Flash Gordon, Flesh Gordon and Barbarella, and I like it.
Ya know what, throw Zardoz in there for good measure.

Please No Zardoz!
That promotional video isn’t that much different from the one that was officially released.
I can understand why they didn’t use that video – it has all sorts of movie audio that isn’t part of the song, when the song already pulled lots of audio directly from the movie.
There’s a great documentary on the film featuring a section where Brian May breaks down the making of the theme song. I’m not really a big fan of the film - it’s a bit too campy even for my tastes - but this documentary made me appreciate the film a lot more.
