In Reply to: Flash Gordon (1980) posted by mishmashmusic on October 6, 2004 at 13:38:33:
mmm,It happens I have a nostalgia for this one too as it was the first movie I saw at a pre-release studio showing after moving from London to Los Angeles. Actually, the thing that impressed me most was the very free distribution of a certain white powder that was very popular then! I felt I had really arrived in Tinseltown!
But, you're observations are spot on- "Flash Gordon" was a more successful comic book realization than many that have followed. I like that the production design- Deco costumes and sets also gave homage to the old serial filmed versions with Buster Crabbe- isn't that a great 30's name? Remember that series with the model spaceships spewing smoke and sparks that fall to the floor? And true to the origianal, Flash wins, gets the girl, saves the World, and defeats Ming. Brian Blessed was great as the winged mens' leader.
It's more fun than it should be and i would add to one of our "guilty pleasures" lists.
Cheers,
Bambi B
