-----------------------------------------
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 player who along with Dale Arden are returning to New York City after a long vacation, until the plane they are passengers on crashes into the laboratory of Russian scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. Both Flash and Dale become unwilling passengers on-board Zarkov's rocketship as Zarkov sets a course for the planet Mongo. Arriving on Mongo, Flash and his companions find the planet is under the rulership of the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless and Ming is attacking Earth with natural disasters as he bids to destroy Earth. Realizing that Earth and the human race is in mortal danger, Flash decides to unite the kingdoms of Mongo and combine the forces of rivals Prince Barin and Prince Vultan to rescue Dale, who is to become Ming's wife and defeat Ming and save Earth from annihilation.
The two leads here basically ham-it-up, but the characters and film seem to be pulled directly from the old-comics. The NFL rock-head, the professional brunette, and the decorated Ming the Merciless.
BUT there's a point in all this craziness, when Sam Jones is basically wiping the floor with the enemies on the AJAX plane/ship, and the music from rock-gods Queen is quite literally shredding with Sam Jones, when the viewer(at least this one) could never have a bigger smile on his face.
All the sound editing is incredible too.
The film cannot be taken seriously, and it shouldn't be. It's almost as if the film was made in the 50's, only the color-splash and the action thrust it into the 80's with all the flair and daring spectacle that both era's deserve to be remembered by.
Some would say that many of the lines are so bad, but If you understand that they were meant to be funny and ridiculous you might actually appreciate these little subtleties that make the film one of the most under-rated productions of all-time.
As FUN as fun ever was.
I usually include my "you might like this if you liked____" list, but this is a one of a kind, and doesn't line-up next to much of anything in terms of comparisons and expectations.

Begs to be thrown in the time capsule.
I don't know what "camp" is. Nor do I approve of it, whatever it is. I expect it's another bit of postmoderne waffle-jargon designed to let one with-it film studies graduate know when he's met another with-it film studies graduate. So what follows is based on my guesses - pure guesses - as to what the word might mean.
"Flash Gordon" is gaudily colourful. The skies on Mongo in particular are worth seeing, swirling reds and yellows and oranges and whatever other colours they could wring out of the old chemistry set. Costumes are done in the superior comic book style. Have we hit "camp" yet? To me it just looks like consistent art direction - something we could do with more of.
The acting could be described as hammy - is THIS camp? Who knows, but it's a moot point, since the acting isn't really hammy. The characters, rather, are all remarkably, supremely, perfectly, simple. Flash has only one thought in his head at a time. (If that.) Ming wants to rule the universe. Princess Aura undergoes some development, but her psychology is never complicated at any stage of it. The cast bring this simplicity to life rather than employ the kind of ambiguous understatement that suggests Byzantine mental states. When Dale Arden delivers the wonderful line, "That's what makes us better than you," she is just stating a simple truth about the relative moral character of Terrans and Mongans - she might just as well have said, "Our sky is bluer than yours." This is GOOD acting. At any rate, it's acting that effectively conveys character, and we ought to see more of it.
Is the Queen soundtrack camp? Here we touch on musical questions I am not qualified to talk about. Those who have the sensory apparatus of a platypus and can detect the slightest quiver in the current of popular music - I certainly can't - will be able to pass critical judgement on Queen. All I know is that the music seems to fit, somehow. Make of this what you will.
It all boils down to this: if "camp" is a feature of presentation rather than content, then "Flash Gordon" is no more camp than any other movie. It takes the world in which it is set seriously. The world is a ludicrous one, of course - but it is also, in its way, a beautiful world, and I'm damned if I'll sit still and allow it to be called "camp". I still don't know what the word means but I sense an insult.
"Flash Gordon" isn't perfect, of course. The world of Mongo is all very well, but Flash Gordon has to be somehow transported there from Earth, and the terrestrial scenes just don't work - and furthermore, the sour aftertaste they leave lingers for some way into the film. Even if this is set aside "Flash Gordon" can't be considered the prince of space operas. Mongo isn't THAT exciting a place. But it's a decent setting for a decent and, in its own way, sincere movie.
Flash Gordon is played for laughs, and wisely so. It is no more sophisticated than the comic strip it's based on, and that takes the curse off of material that was old before it was born. Is all of this ridiculous? Of course. Is it fun? Yeah, sort of, it is.
well Let's put it this way: you can walk, yet you still travel by car, don't you?
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't fly. a5c7b9f00b
