646f9e108c 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 hero who is skyjacked aboard Dr. Hans Zarkov's rocketship along with his beautiful girlfriend Dale Arden. The threesome are drawn into the influence of the planet Mongo, ruled by Emperor Ming the Merciless. The evil Ming has been testing Earth with unnatural disasters, and deeming our world a threat to his rule. He also intends to take Dalehis concubine, attempts to execute Flash and intends to destroy Earth. Flash must avoid the amorous attentions of Ming's daughter, and unite the warring kingdoms of Mongo to rescue Dale and save our world.
I know this movie wasn't supposed to be a comedy but c'mon it's hilarious! I could not believe some of the special effects for this movie… My friends and I refer to the shield around Ming's fortressthe "Atari Shield" anyway.. great movie… the plot was ok… I wanted to kill dale… she was wayyy annoying.
When I was about 5 years old this was the best film ever made. While I now disagree with the man I once was, I nonetheless find it difficult to completely dismiss my affection for this three-legged donkey of a movie. After all, stupidity and an eagerness to please are loveable features in a puppy, so why not a movie?<br/><br/>What's wrong with this movie? Sorry, there's a word limit. What's right with it? Nothing really springs to mind.<br/><br/>I'm being harsh. Max Von Sydow is clearly having a great time pretending to be in charge of the universe (and I dare to suggest his Ming might be considered definitive); Peter Wyngarde is likewise having funKlytus, a sort of Darth Vader-as-voiced-by-George Sanders, and Brian Blessed gives perhaps the deepest and most profound exploration you will ever see of the character 'Big Loud Man With Beard'.<br/><br/>Sam J. Jones looks kind of bewildered. And who indeed can blame him? There are still parts of this film which stand up today - the space rockets are still hilarious, the music still wonderfully ludicrous, and all the colours still optic nerve-fryingly scarlet. Topol is nuts (presumably he finally fell off that roof and landed on his head… well it's difficult to balance AND play a musical instrument I expect). Ornella Muti is… erm, quite striking.<br/><br/>The only real penguins in the nunnery are Timothy DaltonRobin Hood, and Melody AndersonDale Arden, who's just too damn wet. Then again, I have a theory that big macho Flash has his masculinity so undermined by the aggressive women he encounters on Mongo that he only feels unthreatened in the company of a flaccid romantic foil like Dale (with whom he exchanges perhaps three conversations before proposing marriage). Frankly, I suspect that whole Flash/Dale thing is an attempt by Flash to cover up his real sexuality. Sadly we never got a sequel so we didn't find out. Alas.<br/><br/>Final Thought: If Barbarella and Flash Gordon got married, would their kid have been called Fifth Element?
The narrative is a little plodding, but adult punters will soon slip back into reverie for the lost visions of Saturday morning cinema, and their kids can get off on the extraordinary undercurrent of febrile sexuality. Acting honours go to von SydowMing the Merciless and Mariangela Melatohis dark-eyed henchperson.
well Let's put it this way: you can walk, yet you still travel by car, don't you?<br/><br/>As muchI like the previous answer, there was a small blurb explaining the rocket cycles in a pre-production note. Something about using thememergency transportation for injured hawk-people who couldn't fly.
