List of sound clips on this page:

A guy who is out of his depth suddenly winning at the end.
A lot of the shooting was happening in the winter, and there was no heat. And so, we had these straps that held us up. I remember scenes with Topol, when we're supposedly on this machine.
And finally after 30 days he basically said, "Hey, you..." He didn't say it to me, he said it to another man in the office.
And I never dreamt that eventually I'd actually play Vultan. in the film, but I enacted him as a child.
And it's helped me a great... I mean, it's obviously helped.
And seeing somebody like Sam J. Jones play Flash Gordon, uh, it definitely had an impact on me as an actor.
And the TV spots were great. They were, uh...
And then, you get them on the wires, and, of course, you've got to, really, be ready because once they're on there and they're hovering, you've got to really start rolling the camera.
And this is a more intimate venue, which is good.
And we'd be hanging in these stirrups, like, 40 feet off the ground.
And, um... And put me on screen with the wardrobe, and I started working the next day. It was that crazy.
As my wife says, I'm abrasively encouraging.
At the end of an episode, the railway embankment was outside, we've got these great steam trains coming through.
But he's really got a great heart, and at the end he comes good and becomes a great hero.
But originally he was inspired to do it because ofFlash Gordon.
Effectively the father of all superheroes, in many ways, is Flash Gordon.
Flash Gordonhad more effect on us as schoolchildren. than anything else in cinema.
Flash Gordonwas a really exciting movie for me, as a kid, to see.
Getting people up on wires. And Brian going, "Get me out of these wires, Michael." Brian.
Having been taken prisoner by an ally of Ming the Merciless, Flash escapes, only to face the gauntlet of the swamp.
He didn't have, like, superpowers. so he's not, like, a superhero, but he's just a normal guy who got put into a very difficult situation.
He has to teach me how to use a bull whip, and it just did not stop.
He said, "Hey, Sam Jones, he's our new Flash Gordon.". MAN: Melody Anderson as the delectable Dale Arden. doesn't find her Mongo trip much of a rest cure either.
He wanted to change my eye color, uh, blue, so I had these hard contact lenses.
He wanted to get the rights toFlash Gordon, couldn't get it, so he wrote his own movie calledStar Wars.
He was left more or less whole day wearing these damned wings.
He, uh... He cast me in the part of this iconic, this legend Flash Gordon.
He's just one of those guys who you root for, you know, no matter what.
Honestly, in terms of the history of superheroes, there are no superheroes without Flash Gordon.
I am playing Vultan, the king of the Hawkmen.
I couldn't sit in a chair 'cause you've got these wings...
I don't have a whole lot of those, do I?
I grew up in athletics, anyways, as a footballer. and basketball, and baseball and track and field.
I remember when I first saw Flash Gordon, me and my younger brother. we'd been seeing the trailers for it on TV.
I think I met with Dino De Laurentiis in his Beverly Hills office.
I think it probably is everyone's. As a little boy, um, that was the scene we acted out most.
I want to get rid of that abrasiveness today and just be encouraging.
I was really discombobulated for the first couple of weeks.
In other words, in private life if he's interesting. and you want to know more about him, that, to me, is what makes a good character.
In the context of film, that's taken to maybe a slightly more, uh, humorous degree, attaching him instead of what he was created to be in the '30s. He was a polo player.
It doesn't matter. The marks on my sheet and the marks on your sheet. is what matters. Is that cool?
It had Brian Blessed, it had Timothy Dalton.
It is, um... You know, it's iconic.
It was that scene with Timothy Dalton, being terrified by that thing they had to stick their hand in.
It wasn't easy, because we look around for one years, no star, really, can play Flash Gordon.
Like, it doesn't... You know, he's just a guy.
Like, when he's fighting the creature in the swamp, and it would show him going to attack, and it would say, "Will Flash survive?" I was a Flash Gordonfan before Flash Gordonopened in theaters.
MAN: Is this the end? Will Flash survive?
MAN: Join us for the fantastic adventures of Flash Gordon.
MAN: You'd think for a long time in the film. that he's really a big baddie.
MILLAR: You can see Flash Gordon's fingerprints all overStar Wars, so it really is the daddy of the genre.
My problem was I saw Flash Gordonfirst.
Never have I known such artistic happiness and freedom.
Oh! Gordon's alive!
Okay. So that way, Melody and I are here. Boom, boom, boom.
Other than taking my clothes off, I think that had a lot to do with it, you know.
Shaved the front of it because they wanted to make it look like a wig, but, of course, nobody thought about using a wig.
So, at the end of the day, doesn't matter if you have $10 or $20,000 in that till.
Sort of like I was a deer in the headlights, going, "Where do you want me now?". I think I remember being quite nervous about it. 'cause it was a big film. It was exciting as well.
Stan said... Stan the man said. that if you'd have to have a superpower to be a superhero?
The audition process for Flash Gordon,yeah, it was complicated.
The every man for the best in all of us. who could rise up and take on, virtually, everything.
The fact that Flash Gordon can take on Ming's entire army and win and save the planet, to me, that makes him a superhero.
The Holy Spirit just guides me in everything, that I'm patient with people, that I'm not too...
Then, if he has a superpower on top of that, so much the better.
There has to be some form of organization, which it is, you know.
There is something so absurd about him in the film. because he's guileless. He has this innocent approach to everything.
There's this voice at the other end of the line, "Melody, it's Dino." And I think it's a friend making, like, a joke. Going, "Dino De Laurentiis calling me." It is Dino De Laurentiis, and he says to me, "I want you... I want you to come to London tonight.
They picked me up from the airport, took me to the studio, dyed my hair.
They would go, "Pretty polly, pretty polly." Bugger off!
They would often just sit there and go, "Okay, it's tea time, everybody," and they'd go off.
TREDOR BUTTERFIELD: Before we had to put all the wings on. and all the costumes, we had to stand there in our underwear...
Uh, a stressful situation. And he was able to conquer and save the Earth.
Uh, if that character hadn't come out when it did in the '30s, um, you wouldn't have had all the various characters and costume designs that came from people ripping off Alex Raymond and his comic strip.
We had about 12 wiremen or riggers, all prodding up and down.
We had no time to enjoy. If I'm rehearsing this scene, a fight scene, okay, we go to the next set, we shoot that scene that we just rehearsed an hour ago, then, I go off with the bull whip artist.
Well, Flash Gordonwas created at a really interesting time, where it seemed to be characters who we would identify with being put in an environment that was alien to them.
What a great voice he has. What a presence.
Yeah, he doesn't have any superpowers, just his natural athletic abilities, just his natural abilities, in general.
You can all get together and you can fight Ming.". And I'm going, "What, fight Ming? Against the Imperial Fleet?". And as I'm passing Melody, I goosed her straight up the ass.
You have to care for the character because of who he is. and not just for his superpower.
You just do a mark, maybe just write just a one or something.
You know, I'm sorry. Do we have any high chairs, like bar chairs?
You know, just a mark. And then, that way I don't have to be bothered.
You walk in the studio and everybody goes. Making all the bird noise.
-'Cause Batman would not be a superhero. -Batman-- A good superhero, I think, is somebody who against all the odds wins.
-Are you all right? -He doesn't really evolve or grow throughout the whole movie, but that's partly what I love about it.
-picnic -There was a marvelous sequence in the opening conversation when Zarkov says, "Come on! You can get together.
"We want you to do the movie." The only comic book I saw was at Dino's house.
♪ Flash Yeah, um, I dug it.
