My question is – who on earth can play Flash like the original Sam J. Jones? Certainly no current star. Will be fun to see how badly they mess it up.
D'ohhhh, why can't they just digitally re-master it and re-release it instead? Flash is one of my most favorite "worst" movies next to Clash of the Titans (see how well that remake went over? lol)
I agree--there isn't a current star that can play Flash like Sam Jones.
That 1980s version is the single best bad movie ever made. An unequalled classic.
But I'm not opposed to the remake. I hope they play it straight though, rather than being intentionally campy.
I was thinking if they do a re-make, I wonder if it will be like the new Clash of the Titans (2nd best bad movie ). And they need to get rid of the cheesy romance. Who "loves" someone a few hours after they've met? The one part I hate: Flash! Flash! I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!
If they make it darker and with today's technology there should be some awesome special effects, it might work.
No! The idea of a remake is as merciless as Ming himself. Whats next, A remake of Plan 9 from outer space or The killer shrews? These movies are one of a kind, cheesy, fun, best enjoyed with several adult beverages. Out of respect alone-I say no.
well, I wouldn't exactly call Sam J. Jones the original Flash Gordon, there was Buster Crabbe you know
And weren't those old space ships awesome?
