A respectable time-waster.

Chicago Reader
The narrative is a little plodding, but adult punters will soon slip back into areverie for the lost visions of Saturday morning cinema.

Sci-fi comic-strip movie is too violent for younger kids.

...A guilty pleasure, thanks to Danilo Donati's great sets...

Rating: 4/5 --
This is like a drug-induced sexy fever dream of what the 80s had turned into for much of science fiction cinema.

Production Notes:
- Additional credits include: John Osborne (as an Arborian Priest); Richard O'Brien (as Fico); John Hallam (as Luro); Philip Stone (as Zogi, The High Priest); Denis Postle (Director of the Zarkov brain-drain sequence)
- Color by Technicolor; filmed in the Todd-AO 35 widescreen process.
- Estimated budget: $20,000,000 - $35,000,000
- Based on characters created by Alex Raymond for his long-running King Features comic strip.
- Previous Flash Gordon films include: "Spaceship to the Unknown" (1936); "The Deadly Ray from Mars" (1938; aka "Flash Gordon: Mars Attacks the World"); and "Purple Death from Outer Space" (1940). All three of these features were edited versions of longer serials released by Universal the same year. The serials are, respectively, "Flash Gordon" (1936), "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars" (1938), and "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe" (1940). Former Olympic swimmer Buster Crabbe played Flash Gordon in all of these early incarnations. In 1974 a soft-core parody of the Gordon films was released, entitled "Flesh Gordon". And Filmation Studios produced an animated version, "Flash Gordon to Save the Earth", in 1990.
