- In Flash Gordon, Flash Gordon featured in the setting of the 1980 live-action film where he was portrayed by actor Sam J. Jones. He was sitting in his rental car at the Green Mountain Airways executive airport. He is reading a newspaper when the hot hail briefly catches his attention. Soon after, the courtesy van from the Dark Harbor Inn arrives, bearing Dale Arden. Before boarding the plane that arrives for them, the two exchange glances. On board the flight, as they experience turbulence, Flash asks the pilots if there is any problem. One of the pilots asks for an autograph for his son, which Flash agrees to. He suggests they fly higher up, but Dale admonishes him, being scared with the turbulence. She apologizes and asks if Flash will talk to her to get her mind off the flight problems. Flash tells her he noticed her at the hotel and wondered why she was alone. He attempts to reassure her that things are okay, but the sky reddens and clouds block out the sun. Soon after, the pilots are torn from the controls by the power of Ming and Flash tries to land the plane with Dale. They crash land into the laboratory of Dr. Hans Zarkov and are tricked into the rocket ship by the scientist. After a struggle, Flash knocks Zarkov into the controls and the rocket launches. They journey through space and crash land on the planet of Mongo, near the Imperial Palace. Flash exits the rocket and attempts to greet Ming’s guards, but he is assaulted and flipped to the ground. He, Dale, and Zarkov are taken to the palace where they are met by an insidious floating robot. It leads the trio into the Grand Audience Chamber, where they watch the people of Mongo during a tribute ceremony to Ming the Merciless. After Ming kills Prince Thun, Flash comments that Ming is a psycho and the floating robot broadcasts this loudly to everyone. The trio are brought before Ming and they introduce themselves, Flash telling Ming that he is the quarterback for the New York Jets. After Ming takes a liking to Dale, Flash rebels and defends her, which results in a battle with Ming’s brutes. He is at first beaten badly, but Zarkov throws him an item resembling a football and Flash engages them in a heated battle, which entertains the people of Mongo, who watch in amusement. His efforts attract the amorous attentions of Princess Aura, who wants Flash for herself, but Ming refuses. Flash was scheduled to be publicly executed that night.
