10/10
This film contains possibly the best line EVER
4 February 2007
Right at the beginning it happens. Never has the manufacturer of a plane lent itself so superbly to a one-liner.

This film is simply awesome. We have three copies of it just in case something happens to one of them. Its subtle and downright silly all at the same time but desperately clever.

You'll never be able to look at a chicken in quite the same way again. From start to finish every comment is hilarious - from the "Oh Bullshot!" on the cliffs to the "Its so big and wubbery" in the castle dungeons. Context is obviously everything here!

You haven't seen me looking like this huh Binky? xx

Flash Gordon (1980)
10/10
A Glorious Film of Earth Shattering Proportions
8 January 2007
This film is awesome on just about every level. It's camp, full of fabulously outrageous acting and is just downright silly. This is what film making ought to be about. Fun entertainment that doesn't take itself too seriously and with a soundtrack that will grab you by the throat and force you to have a good time.

The fact that the special effects are a bit wobbly, the reconciliation between Flash and Barin is hilarious and the whole macho test of man-hood by Peter Duncan looks like a scene from Robin Hood meets Pricilla Queen of the Desert, are not weaknesses but just add to this film.

Blake's 7 would not have been what it is if the sets hadn't of moved and Flash Gordon would never have worked without seventy miles of red and gold satin and lycra.

Go Flash!
