Flash Gordon is based on a comic book, Anon

Capeshit is just wankfests without substance.

ON A HAWKMAN ROCKET CYCLE

SHALL I INFORM HIS MAJESTY?

because standarts were lower in the past and people did not take shit too seirously

It was never considered a classic. It was considered a financial disappointment at its time and afterwards considered an examplar of a trashy 80s movie.

But yeah, everyone agreed that the soundtrack was great.

It's classic in a cheesy b-movie way. No one considers it some great work of art.

>>80239844

It isn't classic, it is cult classic due to being campy as fuck and having brilliant soundtrack by a legendary band.

>brilliant soundtrack by a legendary ban
but didn't Queen do the soundtrack?

>Queen do the soundtrack?

Yes. Queen is one of the most influential rock bands of all time, even if their later works became more and more pop-influenced.
