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.

I saw the movie at a Midnight Show.what a mistake that was.this is so unfunny.This movie was made about 15 years too late.The movie is cheap tacky but so badly done.it has nothing to redeem it.comedys are rarely this boring.1 out of 10

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.

Have you noticed how many sequels are in any list of worst movies, or in video clearance sales? Well, this is one of those films that gives sequels a bad name. Unlike the original, which featured some interesting eye candy among hilarious jokes, this fails miserably both as comedy and porn, being unsexy (not to mention tacky) and unfunny. The kindest thing I can say about this film is that it's ultimately forgettable.

Yes this is tasteless, crude and vulgar...but then what else should one expect from a sex-comedy sci-fi spoof. While this is also rather silly and stupid, I have to say though that this film is nonetheless very well made with some very cool and fun stop-motion fx and some neat little jokes at Star Wars expense...certainly it's much better(and funnier) than many of the sex comedy farces that get released nowadays.
