The delightfully cheesy 1980 sci-fi cult classic film Flash Gordon from director Mike Hodges is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray this August for its 40th anniversary thanks to Arrow Video. It will be available in both standard and Limited Edition sets, with the latter adding additional special features along with a bonus booklet, poster, six double-sided cards, and limited edition packaging. Pre-orders for the Limited Edtion set launched at $59.99 earlier this month, but a big discount seemed likely. It didn't take long for that to happen.

The film is based on the comic strip by Alex Raymond and and starred Sam J. Jones as New York Jets quarterback "Flash" Gordon, who finds himself on planet Mongo with travel agent Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) after its ruler, Emperor Ming the Merciless (Max Von Sydow), decides to terrorize Earth on a whim. It will be up to Flash Gordon to overthrow Ming and save the Earth. Famously, the film also featured a soundtrack by Queen.

Pre-orders for the standard (Special) edition are live here on Amazon for $19.99. The 2-disc Limited Edition Collector's Set is also available on Amazon for $43.99, which is 27% off the launch price. Note that you won't be charged until it ships (around August 18th) and you'll automatically get any additional discounts that occur during the pre-order period. A breakdown of the features of the Limited Edition release can be found below.
