Very much a film of its age, this film is relentless, unmitigable shite from beginning to end, and yet it is a delight to watch.
It will particularly appeal to anyone who thought the special effects in the original Flash Gordon TV series were over the top.
The plot-holes are gargantuan, the continuity errors are abysmal, most of the story is absolute nonsense and yet this film is an absolute pleasure to watch. The fantastic excuses used to divest Jane Fonda of various pieces of her costume will have you choking into your popcorn.
The seventies' view of a future of decadence is a breath of fresh air and the idea of absolute, insane evil is camped up to the max. You'll either love it, loathe it, or do both simultaneously.
