FLASH GORDON  |  1980  |  USA/UK/NL/Italy  |  Mike Hodges  |  110 minutes

A Dino De Laurentiis production, made for 22 million Earth dollars, finds Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) bored with life in the universe. He decides to pick on Earth by sending the moon spinning down toward the planet. Cheerfully pop and phony with music by Queen and a lot of energy it is totally devoid of the pseudo-meaningful baggage of the Force and Trekkie Power.
