Short description

A football player and his mates travel to the planet Mongo and find themselves fighting the tyranny of Ming the Merciless to save Earth.

What's left behind the scenes

Producer Dino De Laurentiis originally intended to involve Federico Fellini in the film.
Kurt Russell auditioned for the role of Flash Gordon, and Dennis Hopper for the role of Dr. Zarkov.
Max von Sydow's costume weighed over 30 kilograms, so he could only stand in it for a few minutes at a time.
All the songs for the film were written and performed by the band Queen. The album had the same name and reached number ten on the British charts.
