"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' Oh they tried in 2007 .... ...

Honestly, Klytus looks more like Dr. Doom than either of Fox's attempts.

I have always enjoyed it, but please no remake-it'd be doomed from whoever covered Queen's soundtrack

Sydow is a blast, Muti is gorgeous, the entire wedding sequence is a gem, Queen are fantastic, Blessed is insane and Klytus is wonderfully dismissive and condescending. And it looks amazing.
The heroes, sadly, are kinda bland in comparison but all those elements make up for them.
Cheesy, kinda awful, so much fun. With lots of great little bits too, like Klytus coaching the imperial guards at countering Flash's football skills

Flash Gordon was obviously made to cash in on Star Wars success. They probably offered it to George but the horse had bolted at that stage and he was probably busy developing The Empire Strikes Back at that stage.

Just think if Star Wars was a failure how much history is change. How many Special Effect Companies not around How many directors don't get into the business because of Lucas

One of my favorite films, without a doubt. Has been since I would watch it on HBO. Watched it with some livetweeters a couple weekends ago, fantastic fun on all levels. 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' 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)Miniseries. Heh, cute. "One season turdfest that alienated all possible Flash Gordon fanbases" would be the proper description.
