Flash Gordon - blu ray ....... finally

[Jester4584]

Just noticed on an email from Sendit.com that Flash Gordon is being released on Blu Ray on 23 August. Its the 30th anniversary edition. It seems to be the cheapest on pre-order at

That is one of my favourite films - love the soundtrack, script and memories attached to it. I remember when it first came out and Peter Duncan on Blue Peter spoke about it. I have the soundtrack album and I really must buy the film. I don't have a Blu-Ray player though - VHS or DVD.

VHS!

Gordons Alive!!!!

Very tempting, as it appears to have a good transfer, and new DTS-HD sound, but lacking in extras, even ones that have appeared on previous dvd versions, such as the excellent Brian Blessed commentary track.

Send out War Rocket Ajax to bring back this Bluray

"Flash , Flash I love you , but we only have 14 hours to save the earth."

This film is such drivel , but I love the look of it and various sequences so I got the special edition dvd.

As a whole I find it unwatchable but to see it in HD would be very nice .

Maybe wait until it's about

Think i'll give the blu-ray a miss. The effects dont even hold up to DVD quality.

Love the film though - Flash ah-ahhhhhhhhhh!

Seperate soundtrack option for the Queen stuff?

This is a must buy

Jesus! 30 years old! I remember seeing it at the cinema, then chuffed to bits when BBC premiered it on TV years later.

Its cheesy but still one of my favourite films. The soundtrack is superb. I've got it on VHS, DVD so what the hell lets go HD as well.

Would love to hear what Sam J Jones sounded like before they redubbed his voice. Was he really that bad or did he just have the looks but not the voice?

Plus, whatever happened to the remake that was due out two years ago?

It actually scrubs up pretty well, considering.

As a 30th anniversary edition however, it's pretty weak on extras. It just has an interview and commentary from the director, and the soundtrack to the film. And that's it.

Maybe they'll shell out for a better package for Flash's 50th?!

It'll be worth seeing on Blueray for the sets and costumes alone. Both stunning. Shame they didn't spend the same amount of care on the story, the dialogue or the acting, but you can't have everything!

GORDON'S ARRIVED!

Great stuff!

And who can forget Peter Duncan giving his life to become an Blue Peter presenter instead of an actor.

best.film.ever.

Saw some of the blu ray at a mate's yesterday and was a bit disappointed with it. Some of the picture is a lot better and clearer than the DVD, other bits look really bad. There seems to have been quite a lot of DNR applied.

Let us know what you think of the picture quality.
