Flash Gordon re-release is coming..... (1 Viewer)

[todd s]

I just got back from the Chiller Convention in NJ. At the show was Melody Anderson and Sam Jones (Flash & Dale) from the movie. I asked Ms.Anderson if the movie was going to be re-released. And she said it was coming next year for the 25th anniversary. I wasn't able to get anymore info. But, at least we know it's coming.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

THIS NEWS IS THE BEST I'VE HEARD ALL YEAR

Seriously, I have been waiting so long for this! Thank you for posting!!

 

[Richard Waller]

That's because I just ordered the Region 3 version earlier this evening.

 

[Michael Martin]

Oh please please please please let this be true.

Let's all say it together:

"BRING ME THE BORE WORMS!"

 

[Steve Christou]

[rant]"Flash I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!"[/rant]

[rant]"Bring me... the bore worms!", "No! Not the bore worms!" [/rant]

[rant]"Freeze yer bloody bastards!"[/rant]

God, fantastic Halloween news. Maybe I can finally ditch the old Universal release sitting on the shelf. Nice new transfer, second disc of extras, commentary, maybe an MST3K treatment...

 

[Michael Martin]

We do this anyway - don't need professional help.

 

[John Kilduff]

Finally, a title that deserves a Universal re-release gets one.

Everybody sing along:

"FLASH! AAH-AAH! HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!"

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

So bad it's good!

 

[Nkosi]

Yes! Yes! Yes!!

lets tell uni. now that WE want DD and DTS , retro doc. and more than one trailer if they have it.

 

[Jim Barg]

Hell yes! (Though they should license it out to Anchor Bay or Blue Underground, then we'll get a nifty 2-disc set with perhaps the Mike Hodges R2 commentary and interview intact...)

 

[dailW]

ancor bay is great but with plans 4 a NEW flash gordon in the works , uni.will be doing the disc.then they can focus on a widescreen SHADOW SP.ED.DVD.

Everybody sing along:

"FLASH! AAH-AAH! HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!"

Is that what Freddie Murcury is saying? I always thought it was "HE'S THE SAVIOUR OF THE UNIVERSE!"

I just cant see thisas a BU title, but nice to hear MCA will do something extra to it, like the recent DRACULA 1979 re-issue.

 

[Brian Johnson]

FLASH! AAH-AAH!


Great news indeed. I sold my old version quite a while ago.
The going rate on ebay was so high I couldn't resist.

Hopefully they will make it a 2-disc like others have mentioned. I guess we'll see.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

awaiting confirmation, but very happy nonetheless...

 

[Sean Patrick]

the HD transfer showtime has been showing recently is beautiful so the transfer for the dvd should be pretty good.

 

[Tom Brennan]

The lyrics are:

Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Flash - a-ah - he's a miracle
Flash - a-ah - king of the impossible

He's for everyone of us
Stand for everyone of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Every man every woman
Every child - with a mighty flash

Flash - a-ah
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us

Just a man
With a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail
Oh oh - oh oh
Flash

 

[Alex Spindler]

"What do you mean, 'Flash Gordon Approching'?"

One of my favorite lines in all of cinema.

I've never had the pleasure of seeing the movie in widescreen, so as long as we get a clean print and a few fun extras, I'd be overjoyed.

 

[Mark Oates]

I like the followup line of Mariangela Melato: "Dispatch War Rocket Ajax to bring back his body"

If anyone is interested to see how both Sam & Melody look now. I took a picture with both of them. I can scan it. I just need someone to host the picture. So I can show it here.
