I know it Is one of those that is SO BAD ITS GOOD 

 

 

 

I  can remember watching the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon cliff hanger ending black and white on BBC 2 on the Saturday morning .

 

YES A GUILTY PLEASURE IF EVER THERE WAS ONE

If you folk are approaching this little beloved classic as a serious film...um, your doing it wrong...🙂

Just ordered via Zavvi.

It's one of those litle cult treasures that is loved for the cheesy camp, not despite it.

Of course, YMMV...😀

Oh, should have mentioned @Scary Hair, I too have the old Buster Crabbe Serials on dvd, as I grew up with those.

LOVE 'EM! 🤗 ( and so did Lucas!)

It was the highlight of the weekend back then . The cliff hanger ending to this day week to week have never been matched .

 

Each one chewing your nails up to the elbows as the impending doom was left to be viewed next episode 

 

This is a true cracking collectors set and of Late with the slips and goodies Zavvi have upped tire game .

 

ALSO 1p under £50 is I feel a fair price for this amount of care taken with a total cult well loved iconic film .

Just wanted to quickly blurb out, I'd suggest one best look at the OP offered edition in similar vein to the Batman TV series edition.

Yes, it's camp, but the right type camp (imho). 🤭

GORDON’S ALIVE in 4K!

Gorgeous looking set prepared by Studio Canal for UK market is the best option from all that are prepared for the release of Flash Gordon in 4K. This edition has the biggest variety of disc and goodies compared to other countries, so watch out what you are buying as it may not be the same.

Digipack is stocked in very nice rigid hard box that reminds me of limited Arrow releases, however this is more glossy and some elements of it have holofoil effect. Size of it is similar to hard box sets from FilmArena, but little bit thinner. For protection I used pet sleeves aimed for that, so I have a gap around amaray width. Edition consists of 5 discs, film on 4K and BD as well as special features and future length new documentary – Life After Flash. Last disc is CD Queen Soundtrack.

This edition feels like premium and it is for those who remember old school collector’s edition from the past (ex. Troy Ultimate Collector’s Edition on DVD). Fantastic package with posters, artcards, booklets gives an impression that producers wanted to celebrate anniversary with this release. Collector’s booklet and minibook are nice however comic book strip is so small that it’s hard to have fun with reading it. It’s so spectacular set that I miss only some kind of letter from the cast or crew with foreword or something like that – about their feelings how it looks in 4K after so many years.

Great job, Studio Canal – I am hungry for more treatment like this! See you with the new video!
