Flesh Gordon
 |
| Want more Blood, Boobs, and Carnage? |
It's a day to celebrate the best (or worst) of of movies, books, or TV with ample amounts of sex and violence.
For my pick, there was no competition:
Flesh Gordon!
I never actually saw this movie. It was released in 1974, and I was only five. I was always mature for my age, but even begging couldn't get me a ticket to this raunchy movie.
And that really made me mad.
My dad would rate movies based on their T&A value. Any movie that lacked plot, he'd still consider redeemable if it had enough naked ladies. I remember my dad suggesting Flesh Gordon, with its sex rays and dildo shaped space ship, should get an Academy Award. I never realized until I went to look it up for the hop that you can watch the entire movie on YouTube.
I'm an adult now, and my dad can't stop me from watching. Now, the biggest question is- do I still want to see it?

You HAVE to watch it - for your dad. Then at least you'll be able to comment on it for real.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy visiting the rest of the participants in the BB&C Blogfest.
You've convinced me. I miss my dad and any opportunity to feel like I'm communing with him in the universe is a good time.
DeleteOMG Liz, that's hysterical! Only you, I swear. Only you. I don't think you'd wanna watch it at this point regardless whether Dad can stop you. Eeewwww. Lol!!
ReplyDeleteYou picked a good one! It's gonna be hard to beat as far as the funnies in my book. Love you!!
I'm so glad you enjoy my twisted mind, Eva!! Hugs and love to you too.
DeleteScot Lass says I should watch for my dad. See if he haunts me ;)
That's funny how your dad rated movies. I've only seen part of that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest!
Only the master of sci-fi and the coiner of blood, boobs, and carnage would have seen this very obscure "classic".
DeleteHaha! I was thinking Flesh Gordon would be a porn movie. Sounds like it was...sort of.
ReplyDeleteIt might have been. I don't know. How embarrassing if I just peddled porn to the world.
DeleteWow my dad rated movies the same way.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be raised by rotten men- I guess.
DeleteI've never seen Flesh Gordon. I'm not a fan of naked ladies, so I don't think I will see it. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a fan of naked men myself.
DeleteAny movie with sex rays and dildo-shaped space ships has to be a winner. Even I want to watch it now.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to watch it too. I'm going to die of embarrassment if it is a porno.
DeleteI`ve seen a few scenes, but that is it. Probably not one to view not a days
ReplyDeleteI figure it is pretty politically incorrect. I don't think the word had even been created yet.
DeleteNever heard of that one, and although I was a huge fan of Flash Gordon, I think I'll skip on this one. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably a good idea. I doubt it has any redeeming qualities. The joke is in the title and you've seen that.
DeleteI am dying here... great choice and review... I am thinking you win for the best share.

Aw shucks, thanks. As long as I'm a winner in your comment, that's all that matters.
DeleteNever saw this... and after reading the comments... I think it might scar me, even at this age. EW!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I saw some of the online pictures. They'd probably send you over the edge.
DeleteGood grief! I've lived such a sheltered life. I've never heard of Flesh Gordon.
ReplyDeleteI probably should have been sheltered a little more.
DeleteThat seems like a fun, campy movie, even if it's probably not exactly great cinema. Some movies are so bad they're delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! It would be a good party movie.
DeleteI've never heard of this, but I did love Flash Gordon. Hmmm, maybe for bad movie night?
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea, Libby!
DeleteI never heard of this either. But then Flash Gordon wasn't really in the UK either.
ReplyDeleteYou guys probably have too much class. :)
DeleteHow in the world would a 5-year-old see an advertisement for this? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteIt was on the drive-ins marquee. I was a fan of Wonder Woman and super heroes and got all excited to see the movie. That was when my dad's staunch refusal to even let me ask to see it upped my curiosity.
DeleteYou know, I vaguely seem to recall seeing that film during my college days. I think some guys brought it into the dorm so that our whole floor could watch it. To be honest, I don't remember all that much about it.
ReplyDeleteHmm, college years...perhaps there was an excess of beer with that movie?
DeleteFlesh Gordon; so suggestive. Get a glass of wine and some cheese one night and set yourself up. I might do that myself. Cheers to brevity, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love brevity! And the idea of a quiet night alone with a glass of wine.
DeleteHa! You know you still want to see it. I've never heard of it until now and I want to see it! :)
ReplyDeleteI do. I have to admit, the ornery child in me wants to very badly!!
DeleteReally, really not my style though I have heard of it. Sounds like it fits the description for the hop.
ReplyDeleteI thought it crossed off all the boxes.
DeleteOh dang! A Flash Gordon parody! I need to suggest this to my husband, ahhaha
ReplyDeleteHope he enjoys!
DeleteNever seen this nor do I have a desire to! I'm not one for blood, boobs, or carnage. And definitely NOT naked women. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into naked ladies either, but I am curious about the movie. Maybe there is a naked man on there?
DeleteI think I'll skip this one, but the disclaimer that its not to be mistaken for the original Flash Gordon is pretty darn funny!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for joining Alex and me in this EPIC blogfest!

I hate to confuse anyone, Heather and have them stumble onto soft porn at my suggestion. That would be bad. Very bad.
DeleteSounds like a porn parody. Never saw it (or heard of it), so I can't make recommendations.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail on the head. Though, it was at my local drive in, so I'm guessing it wasn't X-rated, but can't verify for sure.
DeleteI'd forgotten all about this movie. I actually did see this at a drive-in movie theater shortly after the film came out. I know I saw it but I couldn't tell you anything about the plot. If there even was a plot.

I'm guessing there is very little plot.
DeleteNever heard of it and it doesn't look like I'm missing out on much, lol.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. I'm pretty sure it never won any awards- unless my father sent them a trophy.
DeleteLooks like my kind of movie. lol I love bad movies.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you, Mary! I wondered how many beers you and your hubs would give it.
DeleteHa, that looks like a horrible movie. I do recall hearing about it, but never had any desire to see it. :)
ReplyDeleteI always have the desire to do what I'm told I'm not allowed to do. It's a character flaw.
DeleteThe original was terrible so a spoof on it can't be much better.
ReplyDeleteSort of like when Weird Al spoofed Eminem? Yeah, hard to tell the joke from the art.
DeleteA cult classic! Good pick . . . I don't remember thinking it was too bad back in the day . . . guess I'll need to watch again :-)
ReplyDeleteI am just going to have to watch it. The suspense is killing me!
DeleteI would LOVE some feedback if you do decide to see it.
ReplyDeleteWill do Michael. Just for you!
DeleteYou are a man of refined taste, Mac.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. :)
