So I picked up the Flash Gordon blu ray a few days ago and am re-watching it now for the first time in many, many moons.
and to steal a line from someone else
Amazing cheese with a great earnestness as well. Talk about the perfect movie for what it was trying to be. Just a fun, fun ride both for adults and kids. I know it's a cult flick at least in the States, but it needs to be way more well regarded than it is. Just a blast.
I'd almost say it deserves a remake, but I think they'd try to make it serious or something and just ruin it.
Show your love to Flash....ah ah...
He saved every one of us.

Flash, I love you but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!
It takes a certain sort of skill to write and deliver dialog that awesomely shitty

Funny enough me and a few friends had a film fest last Sat and this was the first movie, And we all agreed this was the best of the bunch.
So much fun plus we got plenty drunk watching it

"HALT, LIZARDMAN!"
Often hear rumours of it, but surprised no major studio has attempted to make a franchise out of the Flash Gordon character. The most recent thing I think other then comics was the animated series 'Defenders of the Earth'

Flash Gordon is probably the best bad movie of all time, in my book.
The special effects are bad, the acting is bad, the dialogue is bad, everything about it is bad. Individually, it would have annoyed. All together, it makes for a surreally amazing experience. Like, it takes glee from the fact it's all so bad and it makes you take glee in it too.

Eragon makes me laugh more, but Flash is more consistently entertaining. |

I legitimately wouldn't even call it a bad movie. Like Batman 66, it knew EXACTLY the sorta flick it was makin.

It's a really fun movie. I watched it on constant rotation on HBO when I was a kid. It was always on and I'd always watch it. I couldn't get it on DVD for the longest time. I grabbed it on Blu Ray a couple years ago to show my GF when she wanted to see Ted. I knew she had to see Flash Gordon first to get the jokes in Ted. We made a fun double feature out of it.

The most recent thing I think other then comics was the animated series 'Defenders of the Earth' there was a miniseries a few years ago. edit: by a few years ago apparently it was 10 years ago... wow en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Gordon_(2007_TV_series) |
