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:
