Greatest Movie Ever Made- Flash Gordon

[project419]

the theme for ming is funny. shyt is funny

[TheFinalParadigm]

I enjoyed the scenes, but not the weenie commentator.

[spiritusinvacuo]

great review :)

[randomface54]

Brian Blessed (Hawk guy) wasn't actually in 300, he lost the part to Gerard Butler.

[vanillaorchid]

Blimey, this film went right over your head, didn't it Dr Black.

You've made yourself look a right arse with this video.

[Skulldini]

This flick already has a sense of humor of it's own, .. it's a PARODY, right? And, I dare say, it's OWN jokes absolutely BEAT YOUR'S into the ground you stupid cretin !

[Skulldini]

That "initiation rite" at 4:46 is actually kind of similar to russian roullette ( sticking their arm in a random hole in a log and risking getting stung by that scorkion-like creature, .. same basic principle there ).

Oh, and it looks to me like they were going for a kind of nazi feel with the villains in this film, .. with the logo and how they're marching at 1:56 .

[dmnddog74]

I LOVE this movie. It's like a comic book come to life. Plus, the Queen soundtrack is fucking awesome!! I have the "Saviour of the Universe Edition." They should never remake this movie more serious. It's a treasure as is.

[Cheachea4040]

Awsome shit....

[contact1araya]

The guy who did the fifth element should make a remake of this movie!

[cs292]

in the 70's there was flesh gordon an scifi

porno movie series based on flash gordon

i had one of them on video in the 90's it

was dreadfull to say the least but flash gordon

is timeless and superior .

[richtensail]

is that jolina joly or whatever her name is?, she must been a teen!. sounds like jeremy irons under v mask?, ive never seen vis movie, but i remenber it coming out n queen doing v sountrack.

[JBofBrisbane]

@richtensail Sam Jones as Flash Gordon, Melody Anderson as Dale, Topol as Zarkov, Ornella Muti as Princess Aura, Peter Wyngarde (Department S, Jason King) as Klytus (under the mask). Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Richard O'Brien and Max Von Sydow you probably know already.

"The inhabitants call it the planet...Uhg-rth."

[roachy333]

Aye...tis a brilliant very underrated movie.

The set design and particularly the costume design (Donati i think) are visually stunning and simply beautiful.

I wonder if Lucas knicked the Ewoks/Endor idea from Flash Gordon's Arborea...it certainly looks that way.

I prefer this to Star Wars...any day of the week...as this film does not take itself too seriously. (i think that is where the Star Wars series goes wrong imo).

One of the best 'comic book' sci-fi movies ever made.

[Skulldini]

@roachy333 Me too. I also like this movies visual style alot better than that of Star Wars.

[jld19brownbomber]

[RetroVGamer]

2:31 God of War series used that music in one of the games. I remember hearing it in the game and thinking of this movie.

[germanicelt]

Yeah @5:15 I was thinking the same thing. In fact, I'm surprised the hands hadn't started feeling her up during that scene.

[MightyFuckernaut]

It's true. Aliens can't resist white women.  It's also been demonstrated in Robot Monster and Krull.

[shanghaiwolf]

This is probably one of your best black. Keep in touch, trooper.

[Pallindrom27]

"Little known fact, 'Raging Bull' was shot in black & white because after 'Flash Gordon', Hollywood had run out of color."

BRILLIANT.

Five stars, a Favorite, I'll share it and you've got a new subscriber as well.

[cloudcutter81]

ming's symbol, the free mason's logo, and SONIC? what does sonic have to do with it??? oh well still funny

[OpenMawProductions]

@cloudcutter81 look at the sonic logo and compare the other two. you'll see.

[Laura041974]

I saw this film at the cinema. It's better than Starwars! I still have the poster and LP. The Bally F.G. Pinball has stunning artwork by Kevin O'Conner and sound based on the film. Recently, Brian Blessed presented "Have I got News for you" (topical UK quiz) and roared his line "Gordon's Alive!" about Gordon Brown. If you like this you should look at BBC sci fi Blake's 7 which was on at this time. A group of outlaws oppose the ruthless military dictator Servalan, a similar woman to Kala!

[germanicelt]

I saw it a few years after it came out with the whole of the 5th grade in the school assembly hall on the projection screen. What an experience!

[gabboep1995]

Flash Gordon is one of the most ugliest movies ever made, although I do like the music by Queen.

[ShakaHulu]

Hollywood had run out of color!

[PTSmash]

I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. I can't tell if you liked this movie or not.

[WhiteTiger225]

youtube, stay the fuck away from this video seeing as youtube as of late has been killing these great videos off one after the other!

[reggie135]

is it me or did comics copy the villians of flash gordon.

You had the hawk people aka hawkmen and look similar to the tangarian race of dc comics

you had meng who looked like iron man villian mandarin but with no hair lol.

[hfl2005]

If I was there with Flash and Dale ARden an he said "FLASH GORDON QB NY JETS" I would roll my eyes an be like "Fuck it We are dead"

[SgtScraps]

Conan the Destroyer is the greatest movie ever made.

[Thecatarattat]

Conan the Intern is the greatest movie ever made.

[TeamVacaville]

Conan The Barbarian was the greatest movie ever made.

[helias69]

OHHHHHHH MY GOD, this is so hilarious, Mr Black you´re awesome, I love your show, Greatest Movie Ever Made forever

[BigFatFairy1970]

2:16.... is that Timothy Dalton???

[KaitainCPS]

@BigFatFairy1970

Of course!

[AlexanderArts]

Awesome dude, very funny!

[Jeijo1]

man these videos are awesome, and by the way I think that that nostalgia critic dude has totally copied your act, he is reviewing the exact same movies as you, but this is great

[WhiteTiger225]

his method is WAY different, and its just with alot of these 70's and 80's movies being broguht back these classic "Make toys or heroes into bad movies" are being brought up (Might I also add that nostalgic critic did the review of Heman movie before GMEM) I like both of their styles, and they both rock! And might I add, this movie was "Queen The Musical"

[mgt247]

Um, GMEM upload date of He-Man was the end of June. Nostalgia Critic's upload was mid August. Doesn't really matter though, both are funny.

[WhiteTiger225]

eh, either way nostalgic if anything copies AVGN since they both have that vein popping style, which even then that is a stretch. I like em all honestly

[mgt247]

Agreed. I like'em all too.

[gaelwynmackwyn]

holy shite! the hawk/300 guy is richard the IV from Black Adder!

[extremewang]

mmmmmmm galaxy of pleasure

[Mauday]

I Agree. This just might be the GMEV !!!

[Mauday]

...and not GMEV but GMEM!

[DingusStudley]

AH YES!

You rule! This movie rules!

AWESOME!

[pagz27]

I love Flash Gordon, and I love Dr. Black and The Greatest Movie Ever Made. However, I didn't love this video. It just wasn't up to your usual standards. I think smiled a few times, but this one never actually made me laugh out loud as your previous vids have.

I look forward to the next one though. They can't all be solid gold like Eragon.

[DepressedSod]

groovy. I btw always liked that winged guy, isn't he also BlackAdders dad ('I have two sons: Harry .... and another one ;)

[M3n747]

Dr Black, your videos are officially awesome. :)

[arminius8995]

was worried u had stopped mr black :D come on do war of the worlds - tom cruise this time, point how what a tiny part of the world we saw

[lemuelbecc]

Heh Ha ha ha ha ha. I love your commentary on the galaxy of pleasure.

[ASeriesOfTubes1]

We at the A Series Of Tubes ventrilo sever absolutely love these videos. Keep up the good work.

[EdSigma]

Great one, that movie's a real favorite of mine too! There're just too many points of pure awesome to count, from the soundtrack by Queen, to Brian Blessed's... enthusiastic performance, to the fact that the mind behind so much of the classic '60s Batman show wrote it, and of course providing more evidence that any movie that has Timothy Dalton with a 'tache is absolute solid gold (see also Rocketeer and Hot Fuzz)! Personally, I'll take this over Star Wars any day, great tribute to it!

[RockManRockOn]

keep up the good work doc its bad ass

[jhavlina]

Awesome

[roboshark3]

hahaha midget power rangers.

[SSGazem]

1 gotta say u rule and nice beat choise and second this movie does rule big time i own it

[milincoln]

I love your videos.

[bloodrunsclear]

If you want to choose a movie that is proven to make any demographic crack up laughing throughout the entire movie, look no father then Flash.

[luchozepp]

Its good to have you back, Dr. Black!

[RonzilWeazleBack]

hahahaha funking owesome!!! the ending was brilliant, the montage of clips beautiful and the review incredible!!!

[USSZim]
