2. One of the best films ever
It is such an extreme riot of high-camp.

The music is a million times better than just about every other film, beaten only by 'Brief Encounter'.

4. This Flash Gordon?


I was 10 years old, and found a copy of Playgirl in the trash outside our apt. He was the first completely naked man I'd ever seen. Gives the movie a bit of sentimental value for me. :D

6. It would creep me out if I saw him naked!
Probably scar me for life. But I'm glad it has a place in your heart.

7. one of my favorite movies!
Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Flash - a-ah - he's a miracle
Flash - a-ah - king of the impossible

He's for everyone of us
Stand for everyone of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Every man every woman
Every child - with a mighty flash

Flash - a-ah
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us

Just a man
With a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail
Oh oh - oh oh
Flash

16. Max Von Sydow made that movie.
He chewed the scenery into fragments as Ming.

Brian Blessed as Vultan, Timothy Dalton(!) as the Prince of Arboria, Ming's daughter, Topol as Dr Zarkov...:D

18. OMG Flash pwns!11
:evilgrin:

Seriously though -- I loved that movie as a kid. It is hilarious as an adult, but still. :D

I love the part near the beginning where they are in Ming's court and Flash is playing football against his minions and Kleitus (sp? Ming's #2 guy) is telling them how to play.

LOL!
