I think the movie is misunderstood. It is SUPPOSED to be campy and the FX are designed to mirror the old serial ones, not the glorious new ones in modern SF movies. To correct a previous post, this movie was NOT the inspiration for STAR WARS….which would not be possible anyway because it cam out a few years AFTER STAR WARS : A NEW HOPE. Lucas was inspired by the Buster Crabbe serials of the 30&#39;s, not the 1980 movie.<br/><br/>I also think that Sam Jones was good as Flash, dubbed or not. He was the All-American guy, and so what did people expect Jones to do with the role? Van Sydow was VERY sinister and the Queen score rocked!!!
Typical of an early eighties movie, this film is a classic feel-good fantasy movie. Flash Gordon is a physically fit and handsome man with absolutely no military experience, yet somehow proficient with all kinds of both human and alien weaponry AND is insanely hard to kill. He is the hero of this movie and is a footballer who finds himself the unwilling captor of Dr. Zarkov. Earth has fallen foul to some rather unusual atmospheric anomalies, which is actually the work or Ming the Merciless, ruler of Planet Mongo, who is testing Earth to see if it may compromise his rule. He comes to the conclusion that it will, and plans to destroy it. No one on earth is aware of what lies ahead, and are becoming increasingly scared due to the fact that the eccentric scientist Dr. Zarkov, formally of NASA, is the only one who has provided any explanation, and naturally, everybody thinks he is mad, because he talks of aliens and warring planets. So he travels to Mongo on his experimental rocket, and Flash and Dale Arden (the heroine of the movie) end up on board due to an unfortunate chain of events. The people on earth are unaware that their hero, a human named Flash armed only with a human&#39;s courage and his unique ability to dodge death, is fighting valiantly for their survival, while single-handedly negotiating a peace treaty between the warring factions of Mongo, as well as searching for his captured love Dale.<br/><br/>It really is such a feel good film, with a great theme tune from Queen, in which you really do wish you were there fighting along side him as he courageously fights for the very survival of the human race. Naturally it isn&#39;t long before his name has spread throughout the planet of Mongo, and his enemies tremble at the very mention of his name, as they have never met a creature who is so courageous as the inhabitants of earth are (laugh, but in this film it is true).<br/><br/>This film is definitely worth watching at least once for the fact that it is so fun, if nothing else. The acting isn&#39;t bad, nor are the special effects by any stretch. Watch this film and you won&#39;t regret it.
The expensive new version of Flash Gordon is a lot more gaudy, and just as dumb, as the original series starring Buster Crabbe. Sam J. Jones in the title role has even less thespic range than Crabbe, but the badness of his performance is part of the fun of the film. Jones, a former Playgirl nude centerfold whose only previous film role was the husband of Bo Derek in 10, lumbers vacantly through the part of Flash Gordon with the naivete, fearlessness, and dopey line readings familiar from the 1930s serials. Film benefits greatly from the adroit performance of Max von Sydow as Emperor Ming.
well Let&#39;s put it this way: you can walk, yet you still travel by car, don&#39;t you?<br/><br/>As much as I like the previous answer, there was a small blurb explaining the rocket cycles in a pre-production note. Something about using them as emergency transportation for injured hawk-people who couldn&#39;t fly.
