Some of the special effects -- a swan-shaped spaceship; a five-story, putty-like monster with a dry wit -- are reminders of the fantasy realm of antique movie serials; but the sense of fantasy crashes to earth with every lethargic display of soft-core sex. The cross-purposes scheme of combining prurient interest with the straight-and-true morality of old-time movies succeeds only in anesthetizing both elements at once.

It's much funnier to hear described than it is to watch.

Would have put in 70, but minus a few points for the lesbian rape that kills the film. Otherwise funny and an oddly accurate parody of the original serials.

so bad it's terrible

I never thought I'd hate a movie full of nudity and stop motion animation, but here we are.

Flash Gordon / Emperor Ming = Flesh Gordon / Emperor Wang Now you don't have to watch the film

Very funny for the immature.

Eh, good for a couple of giggles.

The epitome of the "So bad it's good". Essential for exploitation fanatics. Everyone else, avoid it like the plague. ** - for substance. ***** - for style.

Hilarious, but that's all its got going for it.

So in your face with it's sillyness that you just can't enjoy it.

I was so disappointed when I finally saw this -- not anywhere near as good as its reputation, despite the stop-motion stuff by Danforth. Even the sex is boring and bad. I give it a "1" for the title.

Not really all that funny, but its whackdoodle curiosity value keeps you interested. Some surprisingly good special effects, too

Originally made as an actual porn film, a sudden cash injection and some Ray Harryhausen special effects gave it a cinema release...

Mildly amusing farce.
