Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders

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.

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.

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

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.

Possessing a sense of humor that can be generously described as "infantile", performances so frantic they may give you a headache, and special effects that are mostly obvious miniatures, this abomination plumbs the depths of tastelessness and stupidity like few films you'll ever see. So it has a certain curiosity value. But neither that, nor the large amount of T&A, are justifiable excuses for any rating higher than....0.5 out of 4 stars.
