FLASH GORDON (1981). Very cheesy and campy film, but quite a bit of fun and certainly worth seeing. Sam Jones is kind of wooden as Flash, but He gets great support from Max Von Sydow (Ming The Merciless), Topol, the lovely Melody Anderson AND Ornella Muti as well as the extremely hammy Brian Blessed (Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen. A lot of the silliness comes from the script by Lorenzo Semple Jr (TV's BATMAN and King Kong 1976) and the bombastic score from Queen-see if You don't find yourself shouting out "FLASH! Ahh-AAAH!" ***
