Sommers Takes On "Flash Gordon"

[barsoomcore]

"What do you mean, 'Flash Gordon approaching'? Open fire! All weapons!"

"According to a statement from NASA, this morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm."

"Flash! Flash, I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth."



Them's good eating.

Max Von Sydow is the best Ming the Merciless, IMHO.

Who'd play him in this day and age?

I hear Jeremy Irons is taking offers to do bad impressions of villains these days...

Two likely candidates for Ming the Merciless?

Chow Yun Fat
Ken Watanabe

"My life is not for you to give or take." Best. Line. Ever. I say screw it. Get Max Von Sydow to do the role again!

He looks too old, last time I saw him in Judge Dredd.

Flash is such a classic. I'm excited. To this day when I hear Franz Lizst's Preludes I think of Flash Gordon. I can dig this project.

Anyone remember that cartoon by Hanna Barbera that used to be on in the late 70sor early 80s?

Actually, I think that was one of the "Filmation" productions--not too bad unless you also watched Tarzan or some of their other shows (where you'd see the same animation with different backgrounds & characters over & over--what a cartoon snob I was as a child!).
