      A cheap tacky silly space opera

      I only watched "Ted" to see this film. I thought it was a high-quality sci-fi blockbuster that I had never heard of. As a result, I felt that "Ted" was really appropriate to include such a slogan. Thank you Teddy Bear for reminding me to watch this cosmic drama.

      Let me talk about the fun story behind the film first: the
      legendary Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis bought the film and television rights to the comic book Flying Man Gordon. He originally asked Fellini to direct the...

      It is definitely based on the legendary "Dune". It's a silly plot, but I think it's pretty good. Very cult style, the two heroines are very good-looking, the music is made by QUEEN, although very silly but very...

      It is estimated that many people like me looked for this old film after watching "Teddy Bear". To be honest, apart from the fact that the costumes and characters in the scene are rather spoofed, it's quite...

      On a certain video website, I watched the low-resolution version without subtitles. Except for the appearance, the plot and special effects are all bad...

      The clothes are so pretty. The plot is incredible. The kind that either love it or hate it. The queen's wedding march is really cool, it should be used for...

      The classic work of every European and American childhood, the movie itself has nothing to praise, the glittering palace, the scene setting of the doll show. But the movie still had a great influence on later, firstly, this heroic beauty resisted the dictatorship, and secondly, QUEEN did a lot of soundtrack. . . #The appearance of the biggest BOSS is basically the same as that of Fu Manchu, and it also reflects the yellow peril psychology of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Klytus: The tributes of the Hawkmen will be first.

      Dale Arden: Are we dreaming?

      Flash Gordon: I'd like to think so.

      Prince Vultan: The fabled ice jewel of Frigia; we seized it in battle from the royal crypt.

      Prince Barin: Stop! The ice jewel is our tribute, not Vultan's.

      Prince Barin: Vultan stole it while we were burying our dead on Frigia

      Prince Vultan: Liar!

      Prince Barin: You are a thief!

      Prince Vultan: What?

      Prince Vultan: [Prince Barin draws his sword, preparing to attack Vultan]

      [Vultan raises his clubbed sword]

      Prince Vultan: Aargh!

      Klytus: Put down your weapons! No one, but no one, dies in the palace without a command from the Emperor.

      Prince Barin: Hail, Ming!

      [Barin lowers his sword]

      Prince Vultan: Aargh!

      Klytus: Vultan! You obey, or you sacrifice your daughter.

      [Vultan's daughter emerges, looks at her father]

      Prince Vultan: [lowers his club sword relentingly] Hail, Ming.

    • Klytus: Now the tributes from Ardentia.

      Prince Thun: Your Majesty, we, the people of Ardentia, we have suffered since you blasted our kingdom. I can offer you nothing this year, except my loyalty.

      Klytus: Prince Thun, we prize nothing more highly. And tell us, how great is this loyalty to your emperor?

      Prince Thun: Without measure.

      The Emperor Ming: We are delighted to hear it; fall on your sword.

      The Emperor Ming: Show us this loyalty, throw yourself onto your sword.

      Prince Thun: [Prince Thun unsheathes his sword] May this deed of Prince Thun be an example to all the kingdoms of Mongo; death to Ming!

      [Prince Thun is stopped by a freeze beam from Ming's servant]

      Prince Thun: [Ming disembowels and slays Prince Thun with his own sword]

      Dale Arden: Ugh!

    • Dale Arden: So that's why they let us escape; Klytus thought he'd wiped out your memory.

      Dr. Hans Zarkov: But do you know why it really failed?

      Dale Arden: I can't imagine.

      Dr. Hans Zarkov: As I was going under, I started to recite Shakespeare, the Talmud, the formulas of Einstein, anything I could remember, even a song from the Beatles.

      Dr. Hans Zarkov: It armored me, girl; they couldn't wipe those things away. You can't beat the human spirit!
