Flash Gordon.

Ah aaaaaah! He'll stand for everyone of us! Fight for everyone one of us!

Do you yearn for the times where a blonde beef cake becomes the greatest warrior in the universe because... football? The costumes, sets and Queen soundtrack make the movie beautiful. But the only loosely coherent plot and baffingly suggestive erotica themes firmly make it a bad movie. A fun one tho!

Every time I watch that movie I wonder how it got made. The elevator pitch for it is terrible. The story is corny and confusing, and it’s so unnecessarily expensive. The cast, sets, and costumes are all so over the top for something so campy. Apparently it only made back 80% of its $35M budget in the box office (Empire Strikes Back came out the same year with a $23M budget).

It really shouldn’t exist and there’s nothing quite like it. I think I love it for that reason alone.

Before Star Trek and Star Wars, Flash Gordon was the big sci-fi franchise.
