How's he know how too fly that shit.. he's flash Gordon quarter back new york jets.. du.haha

[@shwicaz]

Love this movie. Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan is over the top in a film that is already running over with amazingly wonderful ridiculousness. Glad you enjoyed.

[@PopcornReactions]

it was awesome

[@SgtSplatter782]

I remember a friend watching this with me and saying her didn't get it. Then the battle of the rocket came on and Brian May leveling that guitar crunch, he turns to me and says "I get it"

[@LordVolkov]

Flash is a psychedelic Sci-fi fever dream and I love every second of it! Right up there with Barbarella in crazy Italian produced sci-fi.

[@ubit397]

Hell yes! I do a Flash/Barbarella double feature once every year or so.

[@jimtatro6550]

I loved this when I saw this theatrically as a 13 year old, now as a 54 year old man I love this as a mixture of cheese and fever Dream.😂

[@tracylbuxton2957]

One of my ALL-TIME favorite movies since I was a kid. This also started my lifelong love for Queen since they did they entire soundtrack.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

This movie was the precursor to "Dune." 1984. Both produced by Dino De Laurentis.

[@YCRhinoReactions]

I absolutely love this movie. The first time I saw it I was about 9 or 10 years old. I watched it so often that I still know lots of the lines by heart. Thank you so much for reacting to this, it’s so good to see someone from my generation reacting to movies that I loved. ❤️

[@PopcornReactions]

thank you !

[@FailedBard]

I still watch this movie fairly regularly, and have the soundtrack. When my mom remarried, it was in in home service and she didn't have a copy of the wedding march, so I played the one from this for it.

[@GrisouIII]

The best thing about this movie is the theme song by Queen!

[@Mirrorgirl492]

Not just the theme song, the whole soundtrack.

[@rickardroach9075]

I was 15 when this came out. It was the first film I was allowed to travel into the city alone to watch.

[@PopcornReactions]

nice !

[@coryspang7548]

I love this movie, and I love the Hawkmen vs Ajax battle close to the end of the movie. Just pure awesomeness and a killer battle song by Queen.

[@kimberlycross9621]

Yes! I love this movie and went to see it in the theater when it came out. It was not that popular because Star Wars set the bar so high for sci-fi movies that people did not take it seriously. It is funny and cartoonish so even die hard Flash Gordon fans did not get fully on board.

[@PopcornReactions]

nice!!!

[@jamesingram6781]

Aww, yes! Flash Gordon is one of my favourites. It is so cheesy, I love it!

[@haruruben]

This is a hilarious reaction 😂 I love it when the spikes came out of the platform and he’s like “would you look at those sh!t” 😂😂😂😂

[@PopcornReactions]

hahahahaha

[@thunderstruck5484]

There’s a band on KZbin “The Lonely Ones “ that do an epic cover of Flash-Hero-Battle theme that is so good I play in my truck driving my hour commute often , thanks again Showdown! O and I been a fan of this movie since it first aired on hbo a zillion years ago thanks again!

[@PopcornReactions]

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEE!!!!

[@Vadershake]

Classic camp fun, many a young man came of age watching the princess getting whipped on that table lol...

[@seekeroftruth2523]

80's cheese galore! I haven't watched this since I was like 11. All I remember is it being weird yet absolutely entertaining at the same time.

[@PopcornReactions]

right !!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Queens Battle Theme is the Best! Also every time I see Flash I think of “Ted” and Mark Walburg partying hard with Sam Jones(Flash) thanks Showdown always such a fun time here!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

“Ooohhh Flash!!! He’s takin on everybody,..in a T-shirt and some khakis!” Lol Showdown has be bustin up every time!! Lol love these reactions!!

This is a very realistic depiction of a typical day in the life of a Gordon.

I like this movie Pimpin! However, I did get a shock when I was younger... I put this movie into Pops Beta Max and turns out I put Flesh Gordon NOT flash Gordon.. I wasn't ready but couldn't stop watching 🤣🍻

Ha! Saw this in a Drive-In. Thought it was pretty cheesy! This and "The Black Hole" came out the same year. They were chasing that "Star Wars" gravy train! Still are! Anyways, great reaction, as usual, and I just wanted to thank you for all the great videos this past year. You have truly helped keep me sane in this crappy year. This whole century is pretty crappy, actually! lol. But not this channel!!!!! Thanks, man!!!!!!

I recently bought « The Black Hole » on dvd for my husband. His childhood nostalgia far outweighed the bad science and worse special fx!

There was a porno form '74 called "Flesh Gordon". I don't know if it had a Queen soundtrack, but considering it was the 70's, I'm betting the fucking music sounding something like "Shaky Ground" by the Temptations. Happy New Year!!!

I remember Flesh Gordon 😂😂😂😂😂😂
