Hockey hero Flesh Gordon and often-naked love interest Dale Ardor join Dr. Jerkoff in his battle against the mad Emperor Wang from the planet Porno, who has unleashed his diabolical sex ray on the Earth. Full of toilet humor, juvenile sexual innuendo, and unending naked romps and orgies, it's hardly in the same company as the Mel Brooks genre goofs Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. But amidst the slack direction, flat performances, and grungy photography are some lovingly crafted low-tech effects, including marvelous stop-motion creatures from Jim Danforth and spaceships courtesy of future Oscar winners Greg Jein and Dennis Muren. The film's best sequence is a King Kong tribute with a giant rampaging satyr (voiced by an uncredited Craig T. Nelson, who ad-libs quips in a cultured but expletive-filled whine) kidnapping Dale as Flesh buzzes him his phallic space ship. All the restoration in the world won't make this dark, grainy, bargain-basement parody look any better, but the retro effects, inspired score, and playful attitude make this silly sex romp a kitschy cult item from the randy 1970s. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellentProduct was excellent. Forgot how stupid the video was. But, enjoyed it and it is now in my husband's collection. Rating: - Hot for its timeI originally took my wife to see this movie when it first came out in the theaters. We were barely in our twenties and it was our first really 'naughty' movie we'd seen together, and upon entering the theater and seeing that it had an 'XXX" rating she was in fact initially hesitant. When we got into watching the movie I could see that many of her concerns were being repressed by what she was seeing on the screen, which I later found had touched some of her latent sexual tendancies. She had found ... Read More Rating: - Flesh GordonIts a good show that shows what was considered risque in the 70's. I actually found this show humorous. It is adult content, so please dont get it mixed up with Flash Gordon. Rating: - Even if you hate smutty movies......you should definitely watch Flesh Gordon. The film is ostensibly a sex- and innuendo-loaded parody of the FLASH Gordon movies I remember watching on Channel 52 back in the 1970s when I was a kid, and of course I knew they were from another era, the Depression. The makers of "Flesh Gordon" were very successful at tongue-in-cheek humor with this film. I will state for the record that I find the average dirty movie to be boring as hell... however, this movie did not bore me, but rather, ...

The one love scene with Flesh and the hot curvy brunette is also nice. The film is worth a rent if your curious but it's really just a lame and unfunny movie. If your open to seeing a trashy sci-fi satire of Flash Gordon with some interesting special effects give it a look. Especially fans of stop-motion animation in which the film features 3 creature sequences. |
