- Hopefully, my final tribute to Filmation Studios' majestic vision on the Flash Gordon Universe.
Looking back at this cartoon I can't help but to think on how its many accomplishments far surpass any of the faults it may have. Truth is, you really should read Alex Raymond's original strips in order to appreciate how Filmation reinvented Flash Gordon's world while staying, at the same time, very true to the original feeling of the story.
Anyway, for some reason or another I was never satisfied with earlier versions of this video in particular, and I would always end up taking it off. Nonetheless, I believe this is the best version so far!
Queen's theme it's great! I can't think in any other better theme for a hero (with the possible exception on the cover that The Ramones did on "Spiderman,"
Finally, let me remind you that these videos are just for fun. Please don't take them too seriously. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Am i the ONLY ONE who gets GOOSEBUMPS during the bridge of thsi song!?
the animation, hand drawn, a lost art
alot of amazing rotoscoping too!
Man, the effects in the cartoons back in the day actually seem better than the modern day cartoons.
Eat your heart out Star Wars theme.
I think that you did a wonder job marrying the animated series, Alex Raymond's art, and the stellar Queen Flash Gordon theme together in your video. Thank you!
I loved this series. I used to watch it weekdays before school.
The only one that deviated the source material was the 2007 sci-fi series. But it dose have some silly moments
What someone needs to do is to link Queen's 'Flash' and 'The Hero' into one long vid with scenes from the cartoon and the movie together. :)
Very good tribute, and it's worth it. One of the best animated series of all time.
This is just awesome..Queen just fits!! The animation was soo much better back in the day. Kinda reminds me of Masters of The Universe. Kids have nothing but reality t.v and cell phones.
Now this is how a cartoon should look like today!!
Filmation was one of the BEST..
Thank you, thank you all for your comments!
FLASH!! Ahhh Aaaa .... :Guitar Solo: = Pure Awesomeness!!! XD
If the BRIDGE of this song does not give you CHILLS down your spines ouare either full of shit or dead!
absofuckinglutely......Freddie and company stll kick ass
i watch this video almost every day... sends CHLLS up my spine
Rescuing spaceships in Kerbal Space Program and listening to this tune :3 Awesome!
Excellent work. This video capture the heart of the song and the exciting adventures perfectly!!
Just wanted to add my compliments on this video. I think this one of the best interpretations of the original comic. Plus I also like the Queen song, so a nice combo! Nice work!
This is killer! Really great stuff.
Can't say enough... Miss all of them..
This is crazy I love this animation of old Flash with Queens song
awesome video!!!!!! i am a huge queen fan... (since 1975) and have been collecting comics for over 30 years..... nice melding of two of my favourite things!
This is absolutely brilliant! True to Flash Gordon with fantastic art!
The best era of FILMATION...when they didnt reuse animation cels every 5 min like in He-man...which is sooo awful to watch now....Flash STILL holds up as fantastic animation! this and the star trek cartoon!
NOW..onto one of the greatest bands of all time... QUEEN... the BRIDGE on this song is fucking amazing! sends chills up my spine...that mixed with ALEX RAYMONDS amazing art from the comics and strips...just genius!
BRAVO ON THIS VIDEO! FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD ON CZcams!
Great editing job.
A++++
i love flash gordon comics and the queen BO for the movie.
i hope one day a new film come in the cinema
A fantastic job, and brilliantly edited!
fantastic, fantastic!
Wow, this is AWESOME!!!
Great work. My 10 month old son and I like watching this clip. I forgot how much of a Flash Gordon fan I was. I remember reading the old comic strip and watching the old serials with Buster Crabbe on Channel 50. The kids nowadays don't realize what they are missing. (IMHO)
I really miss the Flash Gordon cartoon series from the 70's
Amazing!
Two words...WELL DONE!!
anybody else get shiver up there spine during the bridge? (he's for every one of us..) or is just me?
This is friggin' epic. I can see how they influenced Blind Guardian a bit.
wow amazing job with the editing. Queen theme choon and animated series rock
Well done!
This version is wow... Queen - Flash Gordon Theme without movie dialogue and sound effect!
Excelente.
very well done video I commend you. I remember watching the cartoon and the movie when I was a child (I was 9 when the Filmatiion cartoon came out, but didn't see the movie till it came out on video)
Beautiful. Long live Queen.
Freaking awesome! Favorited!
How can you forget Flash Gordon. Its one of my favorite movies. And one of the best soundtracks thanks to Queen.
of course FILMMAtIONS FLASH GORDON CARTOON kicked ass too!
thnaks for doing this...
Guauuuuu ¡¡¡¡ esta si era una verdadera caricatura de ciencia ficción; Increíble video y música de Queen gracias por deleitarnos con tan buen material ¡¡¡
The Incredible Flash Gordon! ;)
Sau geiles Stück von Queen !!!!!!
wer würd nicht gerne Flash Gordon sein!?
You speak the truth about Freddie. He had a four octave voice range which is rare for any singer. One of the greatest ever.
Who wants to live forever?...
Freddie will. Here, there,
and fuckin' EVERYWHERE.
(As long as music lives).
Damn classic!!! I love this song...
Srsly. I'm listening to this song and I'm like "Flash Gordon is the greatest person ever." :D
excellent
A Flash of genius! You should be highly praised! I nerver seen such a blend of rock music and animation, since Heavy Metal!
Damn I remember when this Cartoon first came out,it was awesome to watch on Saturday mornings
Because being a true blue hero is a super-power in its own right.
SO COOL........
I am a big fan of the motion picture, didn't know there was a cartoon! Simply excellent job of editing the clips with the music! One of the best soundtracks ever. Now I gotta find out where to get the cartoon from, lol.
I listen to this song, i get chills and i end up humming it to myself days afterwards
If there was ever a song that could make me want to be a superhero, it would be this
i love queen so much
love this
haha "blades of glory"
bkan the video men ... good very good !!!
whoever DOESNT get goosebumps with this song and this video is either LYING or DEAD
great
Thanks!
i love the comments from people who know what the hell they are talking about long live Flash
I loved the live action show!
Hey there. Certainly Flash Gordon is not a "super hero" considering he has no super powers whatsoever. Precisely the cool thing about Flash Gordon is this idea that you dont need superpowers to change the world, but will, honourability, and teamwork. Thats all about it. Just a man, as Queens song has it. Thank you por posting!
If you think this is impressive, you should have seen what WXON-TV in Detroit used in the 1980s for a TV promo for this series using this song with furious fast editing of the footage.
I'm not very well affiliated with Flash Gordon but I love Queen so this must be good.
Just so you know, the theme was for the live action film in the 80s. The animated series is what got me hooked and I've been a fan ever since. But does anyone know if this has been digitally remastered and available on DVD?
Tony Young It was put on DVD around the same time that HE-MAN finally made its debut. The actual TV movie pilot for the show, alas, hasn't been released yet.
all hail to the queen!!!!!!!!
This song is ( in my opinion ) fuckin' amazing. I love this. Oh my god!!!
FLASH AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
,y whole childhood in the 70s brought me here!
Filmation's Flash Gordon stood head and shoulders above any animated show at the time 9and most of those since) in terms of quality of animation and in quality of the writing.
long live Flash!!
gota go watch this.
Excelente
I was about to say.. This sounds a lot like Queen. And now I see.
This is awesome. Love your work here and your homage to Filmation. Now, did I just see Adora or She-Ra? LOL!
YES
flash ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!! FLASH AHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!HE SAVED EVERYONE OF US
King of the Impossible!
Amen to that. I saw this the summer it was released and then I bought the soundtrack and played it until the tape was ruined. Heh...
"III haaave the power!!!"
flash uhhuhh savior of the universe
I believe they could redo the movie now, but they might make it too campy or make the same mistake of the first one (it'll of course be a shorter film, since for some reason films are shorter now), but i digress, I LOVE QUEEN AND I LOVE THIS TUNE!
Good Show....Flash
R.I.P. Freddie Mercury, Buster Crabbe and everyone who contributed to "Flash Gordon"
If this song doesn't make you want to go out and be a hero, you got no soul. And that's the whole truth, and that's all she wrote and that's the end of that.
I remember this cartoon very well and I have it and the movie and the crappy ripoff from sci-fi channel on DVD
no youre not. always get addicted to that song
@thereelstuff I can not think of any else band able to perform this them but Queen- even I am not a Queen fan. As we say in Spanish, "honour whom deserves be honoured".
Flash! AAAAGHH-AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHH!!!!!
Gordons aliveeeeeee ? Flash aaaaaaahhhhh saved every1 of us lol
Flash and He-Man ruled.
As long as GOOD music lives... Jus sayin'.
FLASH KING OF THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!
I'm still holding out for a flash gordon remake with Vincent vaughn
FLASH! ahhh!
Love this song. But I think Freddie just looked at a picture of Flash Gordon then wrote the song.
@SERIOUSfreakSHOW 31 years old. hard to believe.
