Script review - "Flash Gordon" by Lorenzo Semple First Draft (1979)

Much was changed in terms of dialogue and also tone - Flash and Dale are a bit more raunchy, whereas in the film they were more sweet. But the basic structure is the same - crashing the plane, meeting Zarkov, going up, meeting Ming, only surviving because Aura wants Flash, Flash vs Barin, Dale vs Ming, the hawkman helping at the end.

It's a fun read and there's some things I wish had been in the film like Amazon Warriors. Tiger Man has a big role as an ally of Flash but he doesn't do that much.
