Flash Gordon (1980)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I found a copy of this at the thrifts, and prepared myself to snicker with nostalgic glee---I recall this one being a favorite when I was 10 years old---so let's just say I wasn't expecting much in the way of quality.
Bad acting, campy dialogue, oh yes---just like I remember. But what struck me most was the dedication to making this look like a living comic book---the look, the feel, the rhythm & every scene looked like you could put a big word bubble over the characters heads. In that respect, I have to give a nod to the director for accompishing the vision.
