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
Revealing mistake: When Biro stabs the Imperial soldier with his sword, it's obvious that the sword is angled to miss his body. (01:30:50)
Dr. Hans Zarkov: We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming: Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.
Trivia: The tree person that gets locked into the cage with Flash (Fico by IMDB credit list), that "stole" the key to the cage, is Richard O'Brien, who is known for creating the Rocky Horror Show.
Question: Why did Prince Barron hate Flash so much? His burning desire to kill this complete stranger left me somewhat baffled.

Chosen answer: Prince Barin was the fiance of Princess Aura, who took a shine to Flash. He was quite simply jealous.
