Alex Raymond's famous comic strip blasts to life in the action-packed sci-fi adventure Flash Gordon. When energy waves pull the moon out of orbit, New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) unwittingly finds himself heading for the planet Mongo, where - with assistance from beautiful Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) - he'll take on Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow) and rescue humankind. Featuring spectacular thrills, out-of-this-world special effects and unforgettable music by Queen, Flash Gordon is an exciting live-action adaptation of one of the most popular characters of all time!

Expert Review:
This 1980's monstrosity is perhaps the King of all shlock films. With Queen's soundtrack blasting, and borderline ludicrous performances, this became an icon of cult craziness almost instantly. Oddly enough, it's still fun, and whatever it does wrong, it's a brilliant example of throwing caution to the wind and letting movies explode with imaginative furor.
