I had discovered this neat little movie a few years ago on the Archive, but the visual quality wasn't great, and while the audio was in English, it had Chinese subtitles. Despite this being the only version I could find, I was always on the lookout for better versions. Then a few months ago, I discovered a VHS copy of this movie that had very good visual quality, but had French audio. So I took it upon myself to sort of combine the two sources to make this. It required a bit of editing, and playing with framerates, but I'd say it worked pretty well. Until whoever owns the Filmation archives decides to release a remastered version of this movie, I guess this is about as good as it's going to get. Hope you enjoy it!
UPDATE: Thanks to user
Rodrigo González145 for supplying me with Spanish subtitles! You can download his srt file under SUBRIP. And be sure to tell him thanks!

Thank you.
I watched this many times over as a child when it first aired on ITV in the UK around December 1982 or 83. I had recorded it on a VHS tape which I eventually wore out watching. I was able to recite the movie and dialogue in my head. I have been looking for a perfect English version since, and this is near perfection.
There is only one glitch I've noticed, sadly. Right at the beginning in the first scene where Flash says "Yarnos it's me, Flash Gordon". We only hear "Yarnos" and "Gordon". The skip is noticeable but it's not a deal breaker.
Was there a problem with your VHS copy, or maybe an animation edit to accompany the French dubbing? It would be great if it's possible to maybe edit a fix for that, maybe from another copy.
It's crazy that an English language version was never released on home video in any format. This is quite easily the best portrayal of Flash Gordon, far more accurate, and a serious sci-fi adventure for all ages rather than just a cheesy cartoon. It's far superior to the hokey 1980 movie. It needs to be found, remastered and rereleased as you said. It's a near lost classic. The greatest adventure of all.
Thanks for this excellent reconstruction.

Download fails
For whatever reason the download link for the MP$ doesn't allow me to download it onto my desktop. The playback through the browser is too slow and pauses frequently.
