Legendary Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis' passing marks another loss in the world of great film makers. His filmography (see IMDb)is diversified and impressive. He produced many types of movies, often with top names, and/or spectacular epics. As Sgt.Tim mentions, he also produced the 1980 Flash Gordon movie. It is a colorful, lively adventure sometimes necessitating several viewings to better appreciate it. Not a box office triumph, it has a strong fan following, even now in spite of its camp. It's a good movie...fun, close to the A.R. comics at times, with a world cast and many accents...just make popcorn and enjoy the lively flick. It's 2hrs long. I would've enjoyed more.
De Laurentiis often made splashy colorful, costly movies, biblical epics, remakes, and many others. He apparently worked hard, did well, entertained many, and now rests in peace with many peers from his time.
