I love Brian Blessed. One of the finest coolest actors of my life time. Voltan was definitely my favorite part. Glad to see him. His hair has not changed color. I mean Im 45 and my damn beard is white nearly completely! And I have almost the same color hair lol. Bless you Brian Blessed.
I think Flash Gordon is getting more appreciation these days because there are so many sci-fi movies. Back when Flash Gordon was made Sci-Fi was rare and expensive and to waste a Sci-Fi movie on something Camp was probably not as appreciated as today when it's refreshing in it's simplicity.
I watched this movie in the BluRay disk just last night. Blessed was PERFECT for the role of Voltan in the movie! You can tell he really enjoyed being in that film.
Hey Gordon, thanks for this! I've always had a feeling that the awesome Brian Blessed is a cool guy and a great actor. I love the movie Flash Gordon, that film gets regularly played on my DVD player. In an age in which superhero movies place an emphasis on dark and grim, Flash Gordon is a breath of fresh air! I look forward to seeing more of your work. You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Nice interview - it is a shame we cannot hear you quite as well as we can BB though. Looking forward to the I Claudius part, that is such an amazing series.
This dude gives alot of lip service to the movie but very humble about his part. IMHO he nailed it, just as well if not better than any other cast member. Without his Voltan , its less of a film...DDDDIIIVVVEEEEEEE
They have been remaking Flash for years and every time they do they keep making him more and more underwhelming. In the movie he “QUARTERBACK NY JETS” which is cool then he’s a track star and then a polo player. Ugh enough!
Great human being and actor.
Americans have national treasures. Brian blessed is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE. God Bless him I hope he’s doing well!!!!!
Brian is such a legend. How can anybody not love him?
Fun fact: Brian Blessed is the voice for Clayton from Tarzan
Thabk you for sharing, this is a treasure to listen too. ✌🏻
I love Brian. Love listening to his voice.
They need to cast him for any future role in Game Of Thrones. Even if it's small.

I'd love to see Brian Blessed and Patrick Stewart talk Shakespeare.
What a great guy, loved him in the film back in 1980 and it would be AMAZING to just sit down and have a chat with such a legend!
my personal fave is voltan tripping and whacking ming s guard during the football fight scene.

I'm in awe of the fact that its been over 30years yet he can describe elements of the film with such enthusiasm as if he just saw the premiere.
Lololololololololol!
British bazookas go “Baugh! Baugh!”
American bazookas go “Badang Badang”!
"I grab Dale on the arse in that scene". LOL. So much win in that movie and from Brian especially.
Dude… I thought he fingered her ass.
Brilliant..... absolutely brilliant!
A very enjoyable interview. Nice fella. Thankyou.
My favorite line of his in Flash is "GIVE ME THE REMOTE CONTROL!!!!" I use it often.
Lmao!
Omg❗️❗️❗️ i luv this legend❗️
There is something wonderful about the Queen loving Flash Gordon
DIIIIIIVE!!!!!!
I love how his sneezes are more interesting than most people's conversations.

It is great to know that buster crabbe knows that their was going to be a flash Gordon movie before he died in 1983
Argh, everything seemed to break during this interview.
The power of Blessed.
God bless brain
Brian is amazing!! Dive!

Can't believe he hasn't been Knighted yet...
It's a SIN that he wasn't in any Lord of the Rings movies but he was in Phantom Menace. Must've been the money
What happened to the lights?
I'm waiting for his appearance in Game of Thrones. Make it happen, HBO.
I thought he would have been great as Tormund Giantsbane!
brian looks like vultan from the new adventures of flash gordon cartoon
he would be one guy i would love to sit down and have a chat with
ed campion I'd like to sit down and get drunk with him!
Indeed…
& Sir Brian is not to be found without words…
Recontrer par excellence
With apologies for my terrible en francaise
I love how Brian Blessed had an excuse to grope Dale in the film, well why not.
I love Brian but that shit wouldn't fly anymore today.
gordon freemλns alive!
You can't remake flash Gordon.... Ffs.
They have been remaking Flash for years and every time they do they keep making him more and more underwhelming. In the movie he “QUARTERBACK NY JETS” which is cool then he’s a track star and then a polo player. Ugh enough!
