    FLASH! A-ah! Saviour of the Universe...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Flash Gordon (1980) review helpful

    Sci-fi cheesiness at its best. The script is flat, the special effects are cheap, but who cares? It's still fun to watch. And the soundtrack by Queen is damn priceless.One word of warning: wait until someone releases a better DVD version, because ...this Flash Gordon DVD is very weak on features. Read more Less

    Camp classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 7, 2001

    I saw this movie during its original run in 1980 and thought that it was hilarious. Years later,I find the video,pop it in,and it's still hilarious. The script by 1960's Batman screenwriter is goofily cheesy,just like the camp classic "Batman" from T...V,the special effects look as if someone robbed a Hollywood storehouse that Ed Wood might have stored his special effects,the acting,despite having excellent actors such as Max Von Sydow, Brian Blessed and Topol(we won't mention Timothy Dalton's Prince Barin)is completely over the top. Basically,a great midnight movie. For a good laugh,I definitely suggest this movie. Read more Less

    Lush and fun

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 16, 2001

    I hadn't seen this film since it's release in 1980. It seems to have aged well, despite the very flat character development. In particular, I was impressed by the colorful cloud formations that permeate Mongol, and all of it's peculiar subregions suc...h as Fridgia (Phrygia?) and Arboria. Dale Arden and Aura are gorgeous. The wood beast and the swamp creature are terrifying. Ming and his cronies are hilarious. Flash himself is very funny with his impossibly optimistic and earnest attitude. The humor is often very subtle (at least it was at the age of 10 when I first saw it), which adds to the campiness. Read more Less

    Best B-movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 18, 2001

    This isn't some epic so don't get it thinking that. This is a very campy movie with loud music(Queen),not much of a plot,skimpy outfits, a good dose of bad humor, and to top it all off....cheesy special effects. All in all this is one of my favorite ...movies to just sit down and enjoy watching. I don't have to pay attention to the plot, I can leave to fix a snack, etc....Kevin Read more Less

    A TRUE CLASSIC

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 22, 2001

    This is truely one of the best B-Movies of all time. Anyone who could not appreciate it's excellence has to be a child of the 90's or trying to take the film way too seriously!
