Question: Flash Gordon was co-written by the scriptwriter who had worked on a remake of the 1976 monster film directed by whom?
Context: Flash Gordon is a 1980 science fiction action film created in Technicolor and Todd-AO, based on the King Features comic strip of the same name created by Alex Raymond.  The film was directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis.  It stars Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed and Ornella Muti.  The movie was co-written by Michael Allin (of "Enter the Dragon" fame) and Lorenzo Semple Jr. (who had previously scripted De Laurentiis's remake of "King Kong").  It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series "Batman" (for which Semple had developed and written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films. Although a box office success in the United Kingdom, it performed poorly overseas.  The film is notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen, with the orchestral sections by Howard Blake.  The film has since gained a significant cult following. Flash Gordon is the ninth studio album and the first soundtrack album by the British rock band Queen, released on 8 December 1980 by EMI Records in the UK and in February 1981 by Elektra Records in the US.  It was one of two film soundtracks that they produced along with "Highlander".  It is the soundtrack to the science fiction film "Flash Gordon", and features lyrics on only two tracks.  "Flash's Theme" was the only single to be released from the album under the title "Flash".  The album reached #10 on the UK charts and #23 in the US.  The album was reissued worldwide on 27 June 2011 (excluding the US and Canada, where it was released on 27 September 2011) as part of the band's 40th anniversary.  The reissue adds an EP of related tracks. "Save the Badger Badger Badger" is a mashup of Jonti "Weebl" Picking's 2003 viral Flash animation "Badgers" and "Flash" by Queen.  The song was released on 19 May 2013, in response to proposed badger culling in the United Kingdom.  The song features vocals and guitar from Brian May and visuals reminiscent to the 1980 film "Flash Gordon", in addition to vocals from Weebl and Brian Blessed.  Said May of the song: Flash Gordon is a 1936 science fiction film serial.  Shown in 13 chapters, it was the first screen adventure for the comic-strip character Flash Gordon that was invented by Alex Raymond only two years earlier in 1934.  It tells the story of Flash Gordon's first visit to the planet Mongo and his encounter with the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless.  Buster Crabbe, Jean Rogers, Charles Middleton, Priscilla Lawson and Frank Shannon played the central roles.  In 1996, "Flash Gordon" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Flash Gordon is a pinball machine produced by Bally.  It was the first split-level pinball machine from Bally, as well as the first game to use the "Squawk and Talk" sound board.  It was also the second production Bally game with speech.  (Bally's 1980 "Xenon" was the first, utilizing a crude 'vocalizer' board set.)  The game is based on the perennially popular "Flash Gordon" character and stories of comics, film and television. Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe is a 1940 American twelve chapter black-and-white science fiction serial film from Universal Pictures, produced by Henry MacRae, directed by Ford Beebe and Ray Taylor, that stars Buster Crabbe, Carol Hughes, Charles B. Middleton, Frank Shannon, and Roland Drew.  The serial was written by George H. Plympton, Basil Dickey, and Barry Shipman and was adapted from Alex Raymond's syndicated newspaper comic strip of the same name.  It was the last of the three Universal Flash Gordon serials made between 1936 and 1940. Robert Wu is an American actor, producer and writer.

It is a modern remake of the 1933 classic film of the same name about a giant ape that is captured and imported to New York City for exhibition.  Featuring special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, it stars Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, and Jessica Lange in her first film role. Ape (stylised as A*P*E and released in South Korea as 킹콩의 대역습 - "King Kong eui daeyeokseup" ("King Kong's Great Counterattack"), is a 1976 monster movie.  It was an American/South Korean co-production produced by Kukje Movies and the Lee Ming Film Co. (South Korea) and Worldwide Entertainment (USA) with 3-D effects.  Directed by Paul Leder and featuring special effects by Park Kwang Nam, the film stars Joanna Kerns, Rod Arrants and Alex Nicol.  It was released at approximately the same time as Dino De Laurentiis' 1976 remake of "King Kong".  The film is generally regarded by some critics as a campy Z movie.  In latter years the film has gone under the titles of "Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla" (for its 1982 grindhouse re-release), and "Hideous Mutant" (for its original home video release).  It marked an early film appearance by Kerns, who later moved to TV movies and shows. Flash Gordon Classic is a 2015 animated fan film made by Robb Pratt.
