Carl Fredrickson Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 My first trip to the Dominion was to see this. I was only 10, my parents paid my entry then left me to watch it on my own as they went shopping! Changed days indeed. The film was on a loop and I stayed in my seat to start watching it again and my dad appeared at my side with an usher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I saw it in the ABC at Lothian Road twice. I noticed on ITV2 it's rating is a star and half out of 4. Somebody has no sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 It’s an outrageous camp type classic really ! And the Queen soundtrack is brilliant ! Sam Jones couldn’t act for toffee . I loved Max Von Sydow as Emperor Ming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weakened Offender Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I saw this at the ABC and it was absolute class at the time. The boy from Blue Peter was in it as well, if I mind right. I remember seeing Yesterday's Hero around the same time. A football movie, Ian McShane was in it. Complete dugshite.

frankblack Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I saw it in the cinema. Queen soundtrack album is great. Looking back now its definitely very cheesy. I have vague memories of seeing black and white re-runs of a Flash Gordon TV show as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved it from seeing it in the pictures on a Saturday morning when he was a laddie growing up in Coatbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yes I really liked " Flash Gordon" and also the Tarzan films with Johnny Weissmuller. I also recall " Abbott and Costello" films which i found very funny but now as an adult couldn't watch at all. My favorite childhood show was " Herge Adventures of Tintin".. It was brilliant and I loved the books too. Pure escapism. Of course I loved Laurel and Hardy and still do. They had an incredible chemistry on screen. Stan was the creative genius behind their films and Ollie didnt mind being the foil. There was no inflated egos unlike some other double acts. Stan was inconsolable when Ollie died .

Debut 4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Another great childhood memory. I always remember the Queen song gave it a small feeling of drama, certainly as a kid I felt in awe. Until you grow up and realise how cheesy the film it is😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
