Plot hole: A group of baddies in Ming City fire at Flash Gordon from one laser gun while he drives his jet, but from the opposite angle the shots come from everywhere, as if there were dozens of guns.
Flash Gordon (1980)
3 plot holes - chronological order
Directed by: Mike Hodges
Starring: Max von Sydow, Sam J. Jones, Topol, Melody Anderson
Continuity mistake: There are a couple of instances in the movie where the models do not correspond with the actual sets. When Klytus arrives at the Hawkmen city he lands near the top of the city. Yet in that very hall there is a pit with a deep void underneath. Such a room could only exist at the bottom of the city. Also, when the Hawkmen start to land on Ajax, its engine section appears to be missing. (01:10:10 - 01:14:30)
Prince Vultan: GORDON'S alive.
Trivia: Max von Sydow's costume for the Emperor Ming weighed over 70 pounds and he could only stand in it for a few minutes at a time.
Question: What exactly was the enormous creature that came out of the ground and attacked Flash in the forest?
Answer: Spider.
