The worst thing about it is Keira Knightly, but if you can get over the fish pout, it's not a bad film. Good action.

There are a few flaws with this film for sure but to be fair to Keira Knightly I don't think she's one of them. Other than the fact she's incredibly well spoken for a Pict.

I dont mind her most of the time, but she can be annoying at times, and this was one film in particular where she wrecked my head.
The scene with the frozen lake is cool though. :rolleyes:

Interesting.

I've never seen Shogun Assassin.

I bought the Lone Wolf & Cub / Baby cart 6 movie boxset a number of years ago so never felt the need.

Must have a look.

Camp 80s classic Flash Gordon is on Film4 at 18:45 this evening and 19:45 on Film4+1

If you havnt seen it I cannot recommend it highly enough. It perfectly transfers the comic book to the big screen, Max von Sydow plays a wonderful Ming the Merciless, Brian Blessed is a flying bird man and a brilliant soundtrack by Queen.

Perfect way to kick off the weekend!

Harry Palmr · 16-01-2015 12:48pm

If that film had been released in 2000 rather than 1980 it would have been a hit globally rather than just in the UK market (number 3 film for the year).

Back in 1980 I think films reels travelled around countries, Flash Gordon may have played in the midlands of England in 1983.

In saying that it is a truely dreadful film IMO.

I though they are making Defenders of the Earth

Harry Palmr · 16-01-2015 7:46pm

Well we'll have to agree to disagree.

Tomorrow BBC TWO - 1.35 PM A rare screening of John Milius historical yarn The Wind and the Lion which stars Sean Connery and Candice Bergen. Based on a real event in 1904 its very much a greatest hits of classic adventure film-making styles and tropes.

No I demand that you give a reason as to why Flash Gordon is one of the better Super Hero movies! Though I'd rate it above many myself thus my arguement not to agree to disagree would be soon moot.

Tough watching, but well worth it. The book which it is based on is also excellent. McCarthy's prose is very deliberate in the book and is reflected in the book, particularly in the relationship between the "boy" and father.
