positive · AI labelView post →Flash Gordon (1980) 🎬🖤 Directed by Mike Hodges
neutral · AI labelView post →You could take any of those passing references & find (/imagine) a world behind it. Every line of that original movie suggested a whole universe just beyond the horizon. That's why, despite being basically a derivative Flash Gordon ripoff, it completely captured imaginations everywhere.
neutral · AI labelView post →MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is a Saturday afternoon matinee movie if ever there was one. Favreau wears his influences on his sleeve with Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, The Muppet movies, and Flash Gordon all poking their heads out. It's a love letter to serial sci-fi. A flawed but fun, goofy summer movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →And of course, Star Wars exists because George Lucas wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie and the rights weren't available. Never underestimate the power of "I want to do something like that."

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve been saying for years that the best way to do a MOTU movie would be to combine Flash Gordon and Krull, which is kind of what they did in like the best way possible. If you liked Masters of the Universe you’ll probably like these too
neutral · AI labelView post →Like Flash Gordon, one reason this movie is great is because it knows exactly what it is. Whatever the hell it is.
positive · AI labelView post →Darcy bought the 4K disc of FLASH GORDON (1980) and it is the *reddest* movie I have ever seen (complimentary)
positive · AI labelView post →The Flash Gordon newspaper comic strip, created by Alex Raymond, premiered on January 7, 1934.
neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of you are mentioning Flash Gordon as a formative hole. I never saw the movie but I’m sure the hole was great.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, "Masters of the Universe" certainly looks..... generic. If you feel like you've seen this movie before; go rewatch the trailer for "Thor" (2011). The visual style of the old cartoon, which was riffing on that of "Flash Gordon" (1980), too trippy for the modern audience?

positive · AI labelView post →Today marks the 90th Anniversary of the original FLASH GORDON film serials, starring the definitive live action Flash, Buster Crabbe. For the strip's 90th, we did a storyline cycling through Flash's different incarnations, Crabbe included — presented here for the occasion:

positive · AI labelView post →What is a movie that No One in the World could ever make You Hate? For Me: Flash Gordon 1980
positive · AI labelView post →I think Lucas was a legitimate genius from 1972 to 1976. His experience as kid watching Flash Gordon serials convinced him a movie could be BETTER if you throw the audience into the action with no explanation. NEVER any explanation.
neutral · AI labelView post →There are two kinds of 50-somethings: (1) those who watched the "Flash Gordon" movie when they were little, loved it, and still love it; and (2) fuckin' nerds with bad taste.
positive · AI labelView post →The 1980s movie Flash Gordon is ridiculous fun, with a banging soundtrack from Queen, high camp set-design, plenty of eye candy and scenery chewing performances. Perfect for the winter plums.

unlabelledView post →311. Return of the Jedi is the most successful realization of Lucas’s conception of Star Wars as a Flash Gordon style film serial, in the way it jumps from the Jabba’s Palace adventure to the completely different but tangentially connected Battle of Endor.

Not to be coy: the other one is FLASH GORDON, which… I mean, just look at it.
