Customer Reviews of Flesh Gordon
Boooring Partly thanks to improvements in film techniques and technology, the producers of Flesh Gordon managed to do an amazing job of duplicating the visual style, fashions and epic scope of the old Flash Gordon serials (which look shoddy by today's standards) on a very tight budget. For that, this film deserves some recognition. However, despite the film's accomplishments, its novelty begins to wear thin after the first ten minutes, and then you're just left with poor, sophomoric humour which quickly becomes sleep-inducing.
Other "adult" movie parodies from this period, such as Al Adamson's adult musical versions of popular fairy tales, at least have moments of unintentional humour that occassionally wake up their viewers when their deliberate attempts at humour fail. The people who did Flesh Gordon, however, were far too professional in comparison, strictly adhering to a plot and utilizing the best possible production values they could, so unfortunately you mostly get nothing more than their poor script with its unfunny jokes. Still, its better than the big budget, early 1980s licensed Flash Gordon film with the cheesy Queen soundtrack.
Plenty of Flesh, Some Gordon, Great Camp
Purchased VHS of this years ago and couldn't wait for the DVD because I saw some things I definitely wanted a clearer view of. Unfortunately, the video quality of the DVD is no clearer than the tape which is a shame because there are some real knock outs in this flick. It's an entertaining mix of soft porn and a parody of the Saturday Morning Serials from the 40s. My favorite scene is the attack of the killer robots with their power tools. You guys have got to be kidding about who does the best job of acting in this; if they could act they wouldn't be in it. Pondering who does the best job of acting in this flick is like speculating on who's the greatest poet in Alabama. This is advertized as the Collector's Edition which contains 15 minutes of restored video. Wonder what it was like before it was restored. It's a fun movie but they didn't waste any money on quality film.
Truth
I saw this film as a historical documentation in it's day, having been there. A triumph over the times. The DVD is not the same. Cant be. I wish it could be so.
