Where to Watch Royal Flash
- marshalseaJuly 12, 2026Absolutely brilliant. On my pile of cheer me up films and turns out it does cheer me up. The interplay between all the great actors is marvellous and in the hands of lesser perfectly cast Malcolm McDowell, Alan Bates deliciously mercenary Rudi would have stolen the show. The constant changing plot is masterful and masterfully adapted from the brilliant 2nd Flash man. You might get the impression I like this film a lot,cause I do. Faultless.
