Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders

Alright, I'll be the first to admit that I didn't know what to expect from a title such as "Flesh Gordon".I knew there would be some pretty raunchy stuff in it, perhaps some slightly tasteful soft-core, but I wasn't expecting *this*.

FGMtC is one of those movies that you can tell immediately came from the '80s. Flesh himself sports a wicked mullet, and the outfits seem to be cast offs from the NY night clubs.

Why a rating of 8? Simple. This is one of those movies that is soooo bad, it has to be seen to be believed. The acting is atrocious, the settings are laughably 3rd rate, the dialog is hackneyed and spends most of the movie in the poor taste pile, and the special effects are bottom of the barrel. And those are the good points! I honestly almost wet myself laughing while watching this. If you dig movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space, but with tons of T 'n A, you'll get a kick out it.

If you've got any taste whatsoever, approach with caution.

Because I liked the special effects and stop-motion animation from the first film, I decided to check out the sequel. It contains stop-motion animation and special effects too but they pale beside the work done in the original. Several of the people who worked on the original were later Academy Award winners (such as Rick Baker and Dennis Muren) but the effects in this one are not as good and are few and far between. As far as porno films go, this one has less nudity in it than the original had. It's mostly crude toilet humor and bad acting. Dialogue scenes go one forever and the sound mix is so bad you can't understand what anyone is saying most of the time but since nothing said pertains to the plot (if there is one) then it doesn't matter. It starts out trying to create a 1930s atmosphere which is good but after that, it's a bunch of half naked people standing around talking. The first film is faster paced and better made and looks like STAR WARS compared to this.

If you are a fan of big breasts, and go to your local video store with breasts on your mind, then this is the movie for you. Howard Ziehm may be an alias for Russ Meyer as this film is filled with mammary mountains, a bar filled with adult babies which only serves varieties of milk, and various other breast scenes. The highlight is when Melissa Mounds offers her ample assets to Doc Flexi on a platter. This is a breast man's classic. i really loved it this film is funny

If you wonder where the creators of South Park get their toilet humor here is a good place to look. Flesh Gordon is sexually perverted satire of Flash Gordon. Flesh Gordon will bascially have sex with anything that is a female adult (notice I did not mention human). I thought some of the scences where Flesh and the Professor were chasing the kidnappers of the cheerleaders were funny. However parts were Flesh goes into the bowels of a planet and find giant talking feces was just plan disgusting for me. If you can take satire or crude humor do not watch this movie other wise you have been warned.

A sequel that no one wanted as it seems. And that can be very, very annoying. But I can see that some might like the completely OTT approach to the movie. There are so many sexual sight gags in it, that you'll either shake your head in disbelieve or won't be able to stop laughing. If a movie like ... "Movie 43" can produce laughs (arguably with better actors, at least name wise), than why should this be treated differently/worse? So it changed the lead actor from part 1, but the time difference between movies made this inevitable.

To call this silly would be an understatement. The acting, if you can call it that, is bad at best, the hair and make-up feels like it's from another dimension (which almost makes it work). But there are still fans for that sort of thing out there. And while this wasn't planned as porn, it does have some nudity in it as well.
