When the totalitarian planet of Mongo decides on a whim to obliterate Earth, it's up to the lunk-headed quarterback Flash Gordon and his oddball companions to make the universe safe for democracy. Based on the classic (and infinitely more reputable) comic strip and its '30s screen serialization, this cotton-candy-colored trash classic deserves immortality for Queen's unforgettably pulsating soundtrack alone. The legendary Max von Sydow appears to be having a blast as the evil Ming the Merciless, while Ornella Muti, as his daughter, is the living embodiment of what attracts adolescent boys to comics in the first place. (She makes Barbarella look mundane.) One of the most shamelessly entertaining movies ever made, this is a knowingly absurd sensory freak-out that'll have the viewer blissfully checking the sky afterward for signs of Hawkmen. --Andrew Wright

Good Movie, Bad Disk made Right January 17, 2010
M. Dixon
I saw the original movie in the theaters, so I thought I would buy a copy on DVD.
I thought I was buying a new DVD, paid for one. Unfortunately, when I took the shrink wrap off and opened the case I found a badly damaged used DVD. It was so badly damaged that it could not be played in any player.
KUDOs to Amazon, they quickly replaced the damaged disk with a new one!!!
Now I can watch this classic cult scifi movie.
Cheesy Goodness! November 19, 2009
K. Leicester (San Diego, CA)
Flash Gordon Saviour of the Universe is just a great load of cheesy good fun. It's not really for young kids because there's too much almost-sex in it, but for adults, it's just fun and goofy. I mean, the Hawk Men, with Brian Blessed as Voltan? Classic and hilarious.
Topol as Dr. Hans Zarkov is the reason I bought the movie, and I wasn't disappointed in his performance at all.
I highly recommend it to all with a heart for silliness and fun!
Beware of the sound track. You'll be singing "FLASH! AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" in the shower without even trying.

Rather homoerotic story of good guys saving a life from a bad guy of the outer space, is a funny picture providing an introduction of torture and S&M actions.
Actually clever and funny sci-fi is made well on merits of cinema of the seventieth.
It is something between Meet the Spartans and Star Wars.
Not much The Queen's sharm music at all.

Flash Gordon is a great classic movie... and the music is great. Definitely a good flick to watch with a big bowl of pop corn and a soda... so quarky sometimes it's funny... but its most entertaining!
