A football player and his friends travel to the planet Mongo and find themselves fighting the tyranny of Ming the Merciless to save Earth.
Flash Gordon is an American football player who along with Dale Arden are returning to New York City after a long vacation, until the plane they are passengers on crashes into the laboratory of Russian scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. Both Flash and Dale become unwilling passengers on-board Zarkov's rocketship as Zarkov sets a course for the planet Mongo. Arriving on Mongo, Flash and his companions find the planet is under the rulership of the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless and Ming is attacking Earth with natural disasters as he bids to destroy Earth. Realizing that Earth and the human race is in mortal danger, Flash decides to unite the kingdoms of Mongo and combine the forces of rivals Prince Barin and Prince Vultan to rescue Dale, who is to become Ming's wife and defeat Ming and save Earth from annihilation.
Oh, yeah! This is definitely a &quot;so bad it&#39;s good&quot; film. The acting? Whoooo, it&#39;s bad; even from accomplished actors like Topol, Max Von Sydow and Timothy Dalton. Brian Blessed chews so much scenery that he seems to gain weight as the film progresses. The leads give new meaning to the word bad. Their subsequent careers would tend to support this position. The dialogue? &quot;Go, Flash, Go&quot; indeed! Someone got paid to write this drivel? The effects? Well, it&#39;s not ILM. The music? Now that&#39;s great stuff! I love Queen and they delivered here. Despite all of these faults, I still love this film.<br/><br/>The costumes are pretty good, if a little too 70&#39;s at times. The designs invoke the feel of the comic strip, but setting the Earth scenes in the 30&#39;s would have probably helped. Some of the acting is passable, such as Peter Wyngarde as Klytus, and Max Von Sydow is good in most of his scenes. Ornella Muti sizzles, as Aura should.<br/><br/>The idea for Flash being a football quarterback is a bit lame. Yeah, it beats &quot;world renowned polo player and Yale graduate&quot;, as in the strip; but, it doesn&#39;t actually suggest warrior. An Olympic athlete, possibly modern pentathalon, would have been better; possibly a military pilot or astronaut. As for Dale, women&#39;s lib didn&#39;t quite make it here.<br/><br/>Despite its flaws, this is a pretty entertaining movie. It&#39;s ripe for an MST3K skewering, but it&#39;s pretty fun. Hopefully, it will be reissued on dvd here in the near future. Maybe they can find Sam Jones for some commentary. I don&#39;t think he would be too busy.
Wow! This movie rules to this day! Nonstop action with awesome limited-cost special effects that only add to the overall comic book-meets-the big screen experience. This movie will make you wonder why the Star Wars movies have to be so boring aside from the special effects.
Flash Gordon is played for laughs, and wisely so. It is no more sophisticated than the comic strip it's based on, and that takes the curse off of material that was old before it was born. Is all of this ridiculous? Of course. Is it fun? Yeah, sort of, it is.
well Let&#39;s put it this way: you can walk, yet you still travel by car, don&#39;t you?<br/><br/>As much as I like the previous answer, there was a small blurb explaining the rocket cycles in a pre-production note. Something about using them as emergency transportation for injured hawk-people who couldn&#39;t fly.
