Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great great music - but this was not as good as I had remembered!!! Campy fun though and worth a watch. I'd recommend it to a friend...once.

Have not been able to watch, will not play in Xbox which should play Blue-Ray but I guess not 4K even though we have a 4K TV

Unfortunately this is only the 4k disc, so I can’t take it over to my friends to share this awesome movie. I hope blu rays manufacturers stop making releases like this. Great movie, but I’m disappointed in the lack of dvd/standard blu ray inclusions. Especially when I’m paying $20 for a single movie.

Terrible, cheesy movie and not a good steelbook release. This doesn't even include a digital code.

If you are looking for great sci-fi, do not look here. If you are looking for fun and whacked out entertainment, they are at the right place.

Cheesy but cool but so we’re the original TV shows! Cult classic. Fun to watch!

Great movie for its day but now looking at it it is a complete laugh

Awesome amazing movie. Quick shipping great customer service.

Trying to create the 40s story with music by Queen to make it worth it.

The Movie was not that good but it was a good price.

Awesome to watch, very entertaining. Would recommend.

This is a silly, cheesy movie that is not for everyone.

The language is bad for children how to be brave It is not wise or mature

He loved it, me not so much. I do see where the power rangers got their moves from...

As usual, very thin and flimsy steelbook. The disc is rattling around inside the steelbook. Amateur Hour.

Taking into account the film's lucrative budget (estimated to have been around $35 million), and the accomplished cast and crew for the most part, this 1980 version of 'Flash Gordon,' based off the 1930's adventure serial, gets the award for the 'Worst Movie Ever Made' in my opinion. Now, that's not saying I haven't seen worse films, because I have, but when you consider the resources 'Flash' had at its disposal, it's utterly unbelievable that such a poor product could result. Highlighting this somewhat intentionally 'cheesy' piece, is its lavish production and set design, followed by the much appreciated musical score from rock band 'Queen.' Just about everything else in regards to this film is just plain bad, but so bad it's actually a riot to watch! This 'Flash Gordon: Saviour of the Universe' dvd features an excellent anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, with some sparse extras. Highly recommended to the fans of this movie, which completely deserves its 5-star rating as the best 'worst' movie I've ever seen!

I really like this movie a lot. I'm pretty sure that this movie came out in 1980. Sam J Jones was the perfect choice for Flash Gordon, I love the part where he says "Well, I guess I'll be running along now." I pushed the rewind button many times for that part, it's hilarious. The reason why I find that part to be so funny is because when he says that he gets out of the spaceship and very convincingly acts as though he's going to leave the girl with this crazy mad scientist, who plans on going out in to outer space in a spaceship that he made. I really thought that Flash was going to leave her there and then it's funny when he says "You lunatic!" I laughed again, it was just to great. I also liked how that one hawk man said "Who wants to live forever" which is a song by Queen. I really like this movie and so will you, so you should definitely buy it.

Flash Gordon is one of the best Sci-fi films to be released in the early 1980s. Trying to compete with the Star Wars and Star Trek films of the time, the film does a very decent job when it comes to visual effects, set design, and Sam Jones plays a believable hero as Jets Quarterback and savior of the universe against Ming the Merciless and his fashion lackies. Other outstanding performances include Melody Anderson as Dale, Max Von Sydow as Ming, Timothy "007" Dalton as Prince Baron, Topal as Dr. Zarkov, and Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan (looking more like Pavoratti than ruler of the Hawkmen.) An outstanding film with a musical score conducted by legendary rock band Queen. Check it out!

Was Weary that I was getting the original FLASH movie with prices on e-bay up to $80.00 or more. If you are a FLASH collector or just a fan of the movie, Best Buy guarantees this is the real thing. Very satisfied and formatted for US players(some Vids on e-bay warn that they are not formatted for US players, or are in portuguese with English subtitles). Will probably order another and put it away as backup. Thanks BestBuy
