Wow! Never heard that. I met Mike Hodges a couple of years ago but it was for an audition and I was itching to ask about Flash but didn't want to blow my chances as it was going well and I didn't want to spoil it by gushing.

I wonder why Brian's commentary is missing from this one?
 
Just in case anyone is wondering if Brian Blessed is really that mad... he isn't. He's much worse! Actually, he's a sweet, sweet man, but he's totally bonkers. He used to hide an electronic fart machine on his fellow cast and press the button when they were onstage. He also did his Boss Nass thing for a record 3 times during a performance.

Max Von Sydow. Does this guy ever get older?

GORDON'S ALIVEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I was just going to add that myself, its a great commentary so hopefully those UK specs will have it. I have to say I have a soft spot for this film, it has a certain something about it. Melody Anderson was pretty as a picture. I also love the score by Queen. My dvd will do for now though.

All together now........Hawkmen... DIIIIIIVVE!!!!!!

Flash! Ahhh.. Savior of the universe! haha
