Flash Gordon DVD
I remember seeing Flash Gordon when I was a kid on the big screen back in the early 50's. I remember going to the Saturday afternoon matinee for $0.25 ( if you found nine empty soft-drink bottles @ $0.03 each you could take them to the grocery store and get the money. Voila the price of admission. If you wanted popcorn, find more empties. The Flash Gordon episodes were shown in ten or fifth teen minute episodes. At the end of each episode you were left hanging until next Saturday. Would Flash save the Princess from the evil ___ ? You fill in the blank. Anyhow a cowboy movie typically followed Flash such as Hoopalong Cassidy or Roy Roger or my favorite the Cisco Kid ("Hey Poncho!")
While I knew it wasn't the greatest film in the world, I still enjoyed it. It was a fun film and what really made me enjoy it the most was the soundtrack. How can you not like a film that has music by one of the greatest bands of all time, Queen. From the opening theme song til the end credits Queen hammers this film home with great guitar riffs and drum beats. Yeah the special effects are somewhat cheesy and the acting isn't that great but the film is fun. Flash Gordon is not meant to be one of those films where you sit there and ask why that happened, or why does his/her outfit look like that. You aren't supposed to pick apart and analyze this film. Flash Gordon is meant to be watched for fun. Sit back for an hour and a half and just lose yourself in the movie. I believe that if you watch this film and just take it for what it is, then you will enjoy it.
Highly recommended for young men or nostalgic older men.
