Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who played the title role in the 1980 movie "Flash Gordon"?

Answer: Sam J. Jones

Sam J. Jones stars as Flash Gordon, a legendary football quarterback for the New York Jets. Sam has appeared in many other movies, most of which were rather poor. This is by far the best film that he ever starred in.

2. What is the name of the character played by actor Topol?

Answer: Dr. Hans Zarkov

Topol overacts to the extreme as Dr. Zarkov, but is so over-the-top that he's amusing and really gives us a good character.

3. The 1980 movie "Flash Gordon" was made by which famous movie maker?

Answer: Dino De Laurentiis

Dino De Laurentiis has produced many films, including "Hannibal", "Year of the Dragon", and "Assassins". He also produced "Barbarella" (1968) in his native Italy, which was also adapted from a comic book.

4. Which rock group recorded the soundtrack for "Flash Gordon"?

Answer: Queen

One of the best scores from one of the best bands for one of the best movies!

5. The actor Peter Wyngard played which evil character?

Peter Wyngard was fantastic in this role. He has also appeared in other movies, such as "Alexander" (1956), "The Innocents" (1961) and "Burn, Witch, Burn!" (1962).

Answer: Arboria

Arboria is the swamp planet where Princess Aura's Prince Barin (Timothy Dalton) boyfriend lives.

7. What was the name of the space ship dispatched "to bring back Gordon's body" as ordered by Kala?

Answer: Ajax

It was war rocket Ajax that was dispatched to bring back Gordon. Of course the ship got boarded by Flash, Vultan and his hawk men, while Queen belted out some great music.

8. Which British actor played the role of Vultan?

Answer: Brian Blessed

Brian Blessed has appeared in many movies and TV shows. I particularly liked him in his role of Augustus in the BBC production "Caligula". Some people think that he over-acts, maybe.

9. Which actor from the "Harry Potter" films made a brief appearance in "Flash Gordon"?

Answer: Robbie Coltrane

That's right, Robbie Coltrane, alias Hagrid, appeared in "Flash Gordon". If you go to the airport scene you will see him.

10. Which famous European actor played the role of Ming the Merciless?

Answer: Max von Sydow

Max von Sydow is one of Sweden's most famous actors. He has acted in many different movies in various roles. Some of these include "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965), "Hawaii" (1966) and "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986).
