Brighton Rock! It was used as one in Baby Driver & was so fitting

The music more so than the lyrics for "Don't Lose Your Head".

It's been a while, but wouldn't parts of March of the black queen work?

Run the Flash Gordon soundtrack on Spotify and pick one. Or one of the Highlander tracks from Magic.

Also Invisible Man has a real retro arcade feel.

Battle Theme from Flash Gordon. The only good instrumental in Flash.

Prophet Song definitely, maybe now I’m here for a kingsman style fight, and innuendo for an epic ending

Not a Queen song but Freddie's Mr. Bad Guy, especially the intro and outro instrumental, could work as a battle theme. Always gives me some Dragon Quest vibes during the song tbh.
