A Kind of Magic was Queen’s second attempt at creating a film score and after the underachieving and almost disastrous attempt of Flash Gordon it would have been natural for the band to shy away from getting into bed with any film producer who wanted them to run the risk of ridicule again, however A Kind of Magic had all the ingredients, all the creativity and all the genuine pulling power that Flash Gordon was robbed of.
