The latest Queen video, not withstanding a hastilly edited together mix of live footage and Freddie's original promo for "I Was Born To Love You" (when the song was rush released as a single in Japan back in 2004), stems from the Vanguard remix of 'Flash', a top ten hit in 1980, and a top twenty hit remixed twenty-three years later. Filmed in December 2002, the Sascha Bennet directed video features the German DJ-duo both wearing 'Flash' t-shirts (just as Freddie wore in the video to 'Play The Game') and spinning their turntables in front of a cinema screen showcasing footage from the 'Flash Gordon' movie and original 'Flash' promo video (both directed by Mike Hodges), as a troupe of clubbers dance in front of them. It features as a CD-Extra video on the 'Flash' cd single, but to date does not appear on any official Queen vhs or dvd.

In early 2003, Queen were once again in the UK singles charts, this time with a club remix of Brian May's theme for ' Flash Gordon', produced by acclaimed remixers Vanguard.

Filmed in December 2002, the Sascha Bennet directed video features the German DJ-duo both wearing 'Flash' t-shirts (just as Freddie wore in the video to 'Play The Game') and spinning their turntables in front of a cinema screen showcasing footage from the 'Flash Gordon' movie and original 'Flash' promo video (both directed by Mike Hodges), as a troupe of clubbers dance in front of them.

The video was included as a CD-Extra video on the cd single release, but to date does not appear on any official Queen vhs or dvd.
