Review

Get ready for the wildest ride of your life, Flash Gordon - an out-of-this-world space epic like no other! Starring the all-American football hero, Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), who's about to throw down with a madman from another galaxy - Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow)! It's a battle of good vs. evil, of flesh and steel, with a bizarre twist! When Ming attacks Earth with his deadly army and mind-bending technology, only Flash can stop him. But first, he'll have to survive giant monsters, beautiful-but-deadly women, and enough psychedelic weirdness to make your head spin! With a thundering soundtrack by Queen, jaw-dropping set designs that look like they were built in a fever dream, and enough campy action to keep you at the edge of your seat, Flash Gordon will make you believe in heroes, villains, and everything in between!
