I've been a fan of this movie since I saw it in the dollar theater back in 1980ish. And I am now looking forward to the "Thor" movie coming out next year(?) entirely because Brian Blessed will be playing Odin.

Oh dear god.

I don't care how lousy it is, I must see this!

Have you seen the Brian Blessed page on TVTropes? It's all boldface and capital letters, in honor of his loud and over-the-top delivery...

And in another Flash Gordon tangent, check out how much this theme song rips off "Flash"...

Diiiiiiive!

I saw this in the theater and have re-watched it a few times since, and always get a kick out of it.

Odd tidbit about the music: the theme that starts at 1:10 was stolen for the video game "Vanguard", where it was used for, if I recall correctly, the super power-up sound.

I'm not sure if that was deliberate or not, since they're both just an electronica version of "Ride of the Valkyries, but it's certainly possible.
