A very slightly different mix than the album version. The final explosion fades out slightly earlier, making this a better stand-alone version.

Pretty much the same as the album version, but this version features many more samples directly from the movie. It is however missing the famous opening bit with Ming.

An instrumental mix of the single version. No click track at the beginning and fades out earlier.

Flash's Theme (Hollywood Records 1991 Remix) 6:42
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Mista Lawnge
Appears on: Flash Gordon Hollywood Remaster (1991)

Also known as the One-Two Mix. Features overdubs by Mista Lawnge I suppose, singing "One, Two... One, Two." A very long remix for a lot of looping and nothing really notable. Features an mechanical backbeat and some rap bits. This mix is in the same vein as Hollywood's Dragon Attack remix.

Flash's Theme (with Vanguard) (Radio Edit) 3:16

Much more listenable than the much longer versions. Pretty much repeating techno beats, with Queen singing the Flash chrous, and some samples from the movie. Some other samples from the original version are included with added effects to the vocals. If you must listen to one version of this mix, this would be it.

Ugh. I'm surprised this even got released, but this remix was supposedly popular in Germany. The first 50 seconds are a beat loop that kills any anticipation to hear the song. Features the typcal dance mix backbeat, Queen singing the chorus parts, Ming's sample from the movie, and a lot of electronic looping. It even manages to take out the best part of the song - Freddie's "just a man..." vocal solo. Pure crap.

Wow, they were able to turn the 6 1/2 minute Vanguard piece of crap into 7 1/2 minutes of worse crap. Features some more samples from the movie, some electronic sound effects, and a much faster dance backbeat.

At least this one sounds a bit different. This remix features a much different dance backbeat and looping. Much better than the Electro Mix, but still kind of crappy, and at over 7 minutes, who cares?

Again, more dance beat goodness (or should I say badness) with the occasional inclusion of Flash's Theme. This one is mostly electronic looping instrumental. Seven more minutes of crap.

A slightly different mix than the one that appears on the soundtrack. Lead vocals, instruments, and the overall mix seem to be different. Not as good as the album version, but an interesting alternative version.
