Rating:  - Flashing Synthesizers Throughout the Mix
With two numbers geared to FM radio play - Flash's Theme and its reprise, The Hero - the remaining 16 numbers on this February 1981 release were synthesizer-laden instrumentals with snippets of movie dialogue in the mix.
The single - Flash, which is titled Flash's Theme on the album - stalled at #42 on the Billboard single's chart, with the soundtrack achieving a tepid gold sales status while peaking at #23 on the album chart.

Rating:  - Flash Gordon Soundtrack Review
Flash Gordon was a great album. It was a great instrumental that just screamed Queen and where they were singing, it was Queen all the way. I would reccomend this album to any Queen fan looking for instrumental pieces and genuine Queen eccentricity.

This is a masterpiece. Flash Gordon is one of my favorite movies. I bought the LP record, the CD, the VHS movie, the LD movie, the DVD. I watched it one hundred times and listened to Queen's soudtrack as well. This is just unforgettable.

Also, the band decided to try what was called "a heavy metal film score" which then would be copied by AC/DC years later in Maximum Overdrive from 1986 and a few other lesser known bands.
