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 Dale as his 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.
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 was one of those films which were so bad that it was good. It may have been corny, the acting may have been intentionally bad by some of the cast and I would only admit to watching it to my closest friends but it was still good.<br/><br/>It was all about fun. An awful plot and intentionally bad acting can be forgiven if you&#39;re having fun. It&#39;s based on a comic strip and watching the film is like reading a comic book. I don&#39;t think this film would have worked if it had been dark and gloomy.<br/><br/>Sam Jones plays Flash Gordon. I think Jones was an unknown when they made this movie but he did a good job. I liked the scenes where he is on Mongo playing &#39;American Football&#39; with some of Ming the Merciless&#39;s guards. Jones is perfect as Flash.<br/><br/>Max Von Sydow makes an excellent Ming the Merciless, an evil character with no redeeming features and a total lack of morals or values.<br/><br/>Also, who can forget Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan and Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin? They helped things along and didn&#39;t take themselves too seriously.<br/><br/>Queen did the music for this film. I was never a fan of Queen but credit must be given where it is due-they did a fine job with this movie.<br/><br/>So, sit back, switch your brain off for awhile,remember that you&#39;re a kid at heart and enjoy this fantastic space adventure.
1980 brought us a few memorable movies, such as &quot;Superman II&quot; and &quot;Caddyshack&quot;, but 1980 should be remembered for the sprawling epic, &quot;Flash Gordon&quot;. The vision was astounding, the soundtrack by Queen phenomenal. Sure, Hollywood was still riding the crest of the wave started by &quot;Star Wars&quot;, but so what? I think this film would have run into some difficulty getting made if George Lucas had not already opened the door.<br/><br/>I used to watch reruns of the Flash Gordon 1936 serials, and I think that this rendition of one of America&#39;s original heros was a great tribute. Maybe this film didn&#39;t have a heavy social message to convey to the audience, but in 1980 we didn&#39;t need another moral message. We wanted/needed a movie that didn&#39;t make us think. We wanted escapism. Something to take us away for an hour and a half, or so. And &quot;Flash Gordon&quot; succeeded admirably. Besides, it&#39;s a DeLaurentis production. What&#39;s not to like?
The only good thing about this would-be camp version of the classic 1936 serial is the impressive production design by Danilo Donati.
well Let&#39;s put it this way: you can walk, yet you still travel by car, don&#39;t you?<br/><br/>As much as I like the previous answer, there was a small blurb explaining the rocket cycles in a pre-production note. Something about using them as emergency transportation for injured hawk-people who couldn&#39;t fly.
