Introducing it to a filmmaker/student friend of mine who's never seen it before. The classic bad is so good! Any favorite moments from terrible films?

What else is everyone up to?

Zogi, the High Priest: Do you, Ming the Merciless, Ruler of the Universe, take this Earthling Dale Arden, to be your Empress of the Hour?
The Emperor Ming: Of the hour, yes.
Zogi, the High Priest: Do you promise to use her as you will?
The Emperor Ming: Certainly!
Zogi, the High Priest: Not to blast her into space?
[Ming glares at Zogi]
Zogi, the High Priest: Uh, until such time as you grow weary of her.
The Emperor Ming: I do.
Dale Arden: I do NOT!

"GO FLASH GO!"

When she started cheerleading Flash as he was playing football with Ming's soldiers, my wife said "OK, this movie is too stupid, I'm going upstairs to read my book. Good night". :(

My brother and I love that movie btw. It's a fun movie, especially when you're drunk. :D

My friend didn't like it. :( But I think he did enjoy editorializing it, at least. :)

I'm going to watch this when I get home from the gym. The movie is f'ing awsome. I really don't understand how a film guy couldn't enjoy it for what it is. And... Queen soundtrack? Win.

I don't know if the filmmakers set out to make a movie so bad it was awesome or just lucked into it.

"Heros work from sun to sun but a monster's work is never done..."

Oops that's from Flesh Gordon, never mind.

I don't know why, but Flash Gordon (w/ Queen music) is one of the few movies I never tire of watching.

I'll watch it any time it's on TV. :thumbsup:

I'll watch it any time it's on also. Thankfully, I never see it on TV...

FWIW, I saw the movie at a theater on release (parents took me). Queen still rocks. :thumbsup:
