We have some sad news to report this morning; Mike Hodges who directed the original Get Carter starring Michael Caine as well as Flash Gordon (1982), Croupier, The Terminal Man, Morons from Outer Space and many more has passed way at the age of 90.
Flash Gordon is one of my personal favourite movies with its wonderful visual flair, light tone and fantastic music courtesy of Queen.
R.I.P. Mr. Hodges, you will be missed.
