Flash Gordon is a 1980 space opera that starred Sam J. Jones as Flash Gordon, and Max von Sydow as Emperor Ming the Merciless. Flash ultimately saves the Earth from annihilation, and one of our favorite scenes from the movie is when Flash crashed the wedding of Ming and Dale Arden, Flash’s love interest. During the process of Flash’s crash landing, the bow of his rocket ship impales Ming. All of this takes place to the sound of Queen’s song Flash that was recorded specifically for the movie. The scene is cheesy, flashy, dorky, and immensely entertaining all at the same time!
Enjoy this look back at Flash Gordon crashing the wedding of Ming and Dale on a rocket ship!
