Take an anthemic soundtrack by Queen, high camp shenanigans, creepy Max Van Sydow’s Ming the Merciless, Sam J. Jones’ heroics, Brian Blessed belting out all of his lines at the top of his voice, and some utterly ridiculous action sequences and dialogue. What do you get? A great bad film.

    I watched the Mike Hodges doc All At Sea at Locarno he classified Flash Gordon as being a facetious film, something I’d never even figured might be the case.

  • Hahahahahahahhaha this was brilliant!

    Haha, love this! The description of the movie’s formula leading up to the final sentence was a great way to critique such a great bad film.
