 | | Flash Gordon is based on the classic (and infinitely more reputable) comic strip and its 30s screen serialisation, this cotton-candy-coloured trash classic deserves immortality for Queen's unforgettably pulsating soundtrack alone. |
 | | A movie 24 years ahead of its time, "Flash Gordon" is just plain barking mad in every department, from the pounding Queen soundtrack to the oppulent sets, colourful visual effects, Brian "Bonkers" Blessed's Prince Vultan, the deliciously dry wit of Max Von Sydow as Ming and Peter Wyngarde as Klytus. |
 | | Taste doesn't come into it, "Flash Gordon" is as tacky and camp as they come, but it also has the kind of knowing charm and warmth that make it look like a Bergmann film next to Jerry Bruckhiemer. |
