Movie: Flash Gordon
Part of the 'Movies You May Not Know' series.



No sensible being could ever call this a good movie but despite some appallingly bad dialog, an uninspired plot and some cheap special effects it was nevertheless amusing to watch. The actors take a delight in chewing the scenery to a bloody pulp and occasionally the movie finds the right mixture of camp and adventure. It's certainly an improvement over the original comic strip which was virulently racist and anti-Chinese.

I was reminded of it by the upcoming series on SyFy which looks wretched.

I keep finding it amazing that every single one of your "Movies You May Not Know" I actually own on dvd and love. *____* Perfect.

It is hard not to try and sing along (badly) with the soundtrack.

SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE *air guitar* I loved that movie as a kid. I'm surprised however to still find people who've never seen the princess bride.
