What is that movie where at the end the hero is flying a space ship and he crashes it into the main villain, piercing him with the pointy tip of the ship and killing him?

It is like some buck rogers retro-future movie.

Oh hell, I don't believe I even think I know this - I think it's Flash Gordon.

It's the 1980 version of Flash Gordon, starring Sam Jones as Flash, with a notable soundtrack by Queen.

The scene in question, from this page of stills. Now I really want to watch this again; it's definitely one of those so-bad-it's-wonderful flicks.

...and remember, when ANY movie has a quiet gap, shout out, "NOT... THE BORE WORMS!"
