This came across the schedule on Encore, so I DVR'd it. It's been a little while since I'd watched it. It seems like this was on TBS every Saturday growing up. I must have watched it a thousand times. Is this not one of the greatest scifi gems ever? How could you not like it?

Hot Women:



Epic Scenes:



A fantastic supporting cast:




Possibly the greatest soundtrack ever:


And quotable lines:
GORDON'S ALIVE!?!

DIIIIVVVE!!

And lets not forget Seth Macfarlane:
Ted

What does God do all day?

(Plus, Flash was definitely a better NYJ QB than Tebow. )

I was thinking of how Hollywood could remake this and continue to F up every cartoon or epic movie I grew up watching. I still cringe at what they did to Speed Racer.

She made it move when I was a young lad.

Plus, that wood beast scorpion thing scared the hell out of me.

When this board first started, this was the first thread topic I started. Flash Gordon Appreciation Thread.


I know as a kid, I always wanted to introduce myself to strange people from far away as, "Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets."

The soundtrack was the fist cassette tape I ever bought.

On the one hand, the thread is full of win, on the other hand, this thread loses some win points because it is missing the pic of the Princess chained to the table.

You're under arrest for treason, Barin. Princess Aura has confessed!

You tortured her.

Interesting girl...I think she found it rather enjoyable.

Yeah, that wood beast contest thing was pretty brutal.

Also, looking up Ornella Muti on IMDB not only was she hot as hell as the princess back then, she's still pretty hot now in her late 50s.

This is one of the 2 or 3 movies I remember seeing at the McMillan Mall theater when I was really young.

Dive!



He didn't have any superpowers did he? Is Flash Gordon related to Flash in DC comics?

No. Flash is an ordinary human. He was a polo player in the comics/serials, and they updated that to a QB for the movie.
