"Flash Gordon (フラッシュ・ゴードン)", Original Japanese “Special 40th Anniversary 4K Restoration” Theatrical Poster 2020, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O253

Sale price $100.00

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued for the special 40th-anniversary 4K restoration re-release of Mike Hodges’ 1980 space-opera classic Flash Gordon. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis and powered by Queen’s iconic soundtrack, the film—based on Alex Raymond’s 1930s newspaper strip—evolved from box-office curiosity to cult phenomenon. Its candy-colored art direction, baroque costumes (Danilo Donati), unapologetically camp tone, and star turns from Sam J. Jones (Flash), Ornella Muti (Princess Aura), Brian Blessed (Vultan), Timothy Dalton (Barin), and Max von Sydow (Ming) have made it a touchstone for later filmmakers and pop culture (from Ted to the neon cosmic flavor of modern superhero cinema). The restoration renewed interest in the film for a new generation of Japanese moviegoers and collectors.

Film background
Directed by Mike Hodges; produced by Dino De Laurentiis. Music by Queen (with “Flash’s Theme” and “The Hero” now synonymous with the franchise). The film’s lavish, comic-panel visuals and operatic villainy turned it into a durable cult favorite that continues to influence contemporary sci-fi aesthetics and soundtrack culture.

Poster design
A dynamic, modern composition by British illustrator Matt Ferguson (credit printed bottom left: “Poster by Matt Ferguson”). Ming the Merciless looms at left in jeweled scarlet regalia; center foreground shows Flash brandishing his golden sword, with Princess Aura aiming a blaster to the right. Hawk-Men sweep across the sky toward Mongo’s spired city, while a rocket ship arcs through a ochre time-dial motif. At the top, the comeback line “FLASH IS BACK!” crackles in lightning script. The classic FLASH GORDON logotype—planetary orb pierced by a lightning bolt—anchors the center, with the bold Japanese title 「フラッシュ・ゴードン」 in oversized red katakana below and the English tag “SPECIAL 40TH ANNIVERSARY 4K RESTORATION.” The billing block lists the principal cast (Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Ornella Muti, Max von Sydow, Topol, Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde), with technical logos and “MUSIC BY QUEEN” along the foot. Distributor marks and Japanese details note the original 1980 UK production and runtime information.
