Flesh Gordon

About This Movie

Flesh Gordon is a wild ride through the realms of low-budget sci-fi comedy from the 70s. Directed by Howard Ziehm, this film captures the chaotic spirit of the era with its outrageous premise and cheeky humor. The plot follows Flesh, a football player, battling the whims of Emperor Wang, who uses a 'Sex Ray' to unleash pandemonium on Earth. The practical effects are delightfully crude, adding to its charm, while the performances oscillate between earnest and hilariously over-the-top. This isn't just a parody; it’s an exploration of sexuality wrapped in campy visuals. The pacing is erratic but fits perfectly with its offbeat tone, making it a distinctive piece that stands out among other genre offerings of its time.
