What a poster! A guaranteed original Japanese 'B2' movie poster from 1981 (the year of the film's release in Japan) for Mike Hodge's sci-fi fantasy "Flash Gordon", based on the comic-strip character created by Alex Raymond in the 1930s.

Starring Sam J. Jones (as Flash Gordon), Melody Anderson, Ornella Muti, Timothy Dalton, Topol and Max von Sydow (as Emperor Ming, The Merciless), this cult movie also includes a fantastic soundtrack by Freddie Mercury's Queen!

Now a firm fan favourite, a new Flash Gordon film has been in the works for some years. In October 2018 it was reported that writer and director Julius Avery will helm the project for Fox studios, with Matthew Vaughan as producer. How exciting is that!?!

This wonderful movie features a photo montage that is so typical of Japanese movie posters from the period! It has never been machine folded and as our photos show will look amazing framed and on display. We love it!

By the way, in the 1970s, George Lucas attempted to acquire the rights to Flash Gordon. Unable to do so, he went on to write and direct Star Wars!

Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.
