Flash Gordon. 1980.
Ok the plot is daft, the dialogue is very cheesy and some of the visual effects are laughable but what would you expect from a Italian/American/British film....but this is still a lot of fun to watch. Sam J. Jones was on a dating show and was seen then got the job as the hero....if it was that easy im sure we would be on shows to get attention
loud mouth Brian Blessed is the wing man Vultan who manages not swear. Timothy Dalton as the 70s porn star moustache wearing Prince who loves the princess Ornella Muti....who wouldn't. Topol plays the crazy scientist Zarkov who thinks the end of the world would happen and belives it is now and takes the hero and heroine Melody Anderson to planet Mongo. Max Von Sydow does steal the show as the Emporer Ming and seems to have fun with the character. Aside from the cheesy stuff, you gotta admit the soundtrack by Queen is the best part of the film.
