Flash Gordon Trivia Questions

1. Prior to being launched into space, Flash Gordon was a well-known quarterback for what NFL team?

From Quiz Flash Gordon

Answer: Jets

This may have been mentioned with the airplane pilot, who asked Flash to sign a magazine for his son. Flash later announced himself as quarterback for the NY Jets to Emporer Ming. Believe it or not, Kurt Russell also auditioned for this role...but Sam Jones was eventually cast, after the director's mother-in-law spotted him on an episode of "The Dating Game". Incidently, all of Sam Jones' lines in "Flash Gordon" were dubbed!

From Quiz Flash Gordon

Answer: Sam J. Jones

Sam J. Jones stars as Flash Gordon, a legendary football quarterback for the New York Jets. Sam has appeared in many other movies, most of which were rather poor. This is by far the best film that he ever starred in.

Because Zarkov believed the earth was under attack, he built a rocket ship, apparently to confront the invaders. The plane Dale and Flash were traveling in crash-landed into Zarkov's laboratory.
