Flash Gordon

Jump to Comments

I feel the need for a little happy silliness today.  This is one of my favourite films – the 1980 version of Flash Gordon, starring Sam J. Jones (and just where is he now)?  It’s a film that produced so many memorable one liners that are regularly referred to in our household: ‘Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the earth!’  ‘No, not the boreworms!’  ‘Goordons aliiive’! … 

If you haven’t seen it, why ever not?  It’s tongue-in-cheek, kitsch, camp, colourful and a faithful recreation of the original 1930s sci-fi comic strip in all its Art Deco glory.
