On this day in 1980, Flash Gordon made its feature film debut in the cinemas of a planet known as... "Earth." Starring Sam J. Jones as Flash Gordon, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Topol as Dr. Zarkov, Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin, Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan, Peter Wyngarde as Klytus, Ornella Muti as Princess Aura, and Max von Sydow as the Emperor Ming, it was a truly spectacular adaptation of the comic strips and movie serials with one of the greatest rock soundtracks ever created. Today, we celebrate 44 years of Flash Gordon... the film.
Long live Flash!
