As a teenager I loved this film. It might be cheesy, full of poor props and some wonky acting but it's immensely entertaining, funny tongue and cheek and just has some classic moments that even thirty five years later people can quote.Flash Gordon is based off of the 1930's comic strip by Alex Raymond. The film follows Flash (Sam Jones), an all american blonde haired quarterback for the New York Jets american football team. Returning from holiday on a plane with only one other passenger, Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) they are hit by some freak weather events causing them to crash into a building of the scientist Hans Zarkov (Chaim Topol) who forces them to go into a rocket with him knowing this weather is not natural. From there they end up on Mongo, run by the all powerful emperor Ming (Max Von Synow) and Flash must show the different factions of Mongo how to fight back and rebel against him.The plot isn't going to win any awards and nor is the acting but there are some classic sequences and great lines from Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed among others, it's simply great campy fun. There are rocket bikes, ship assaults, an arena fight, weird creatures, old fashioned model special effects, it's just great and all this with a film in which half of Sam Jone's lines were voiced by an impersonator!The soundtrack was written and performed by Queen full of their iconic sound and plenty of guitars throughout. "Flash, ahhhhh he's a miracle!" It couldn't be any more perfect for the film.The blu-ray is pretty devoid of content, just a couple of commentaries but this was made long before film extra's were a thing so it's kind of expected. The picture quality also isn't very good, more like a low end dvd but at the price it is though, I doubt it matters.I'm not going to lie, this isn't a good film in a traditional sense by any stretch but if you've got an open mind, Flash is funny, colouful, retro campy fun.Recommended.+ Genuinely funny in places.+ Fantastic soundtrack by Queen.+ Retro special effects.+ Diiiiivvve!
