Is this something on TV which was shown to English only speaking people who cannot understand something a bit more complicated and sophisticated?

Um I think the answer would be a resounding yes..
"Flash Gordon has been an American icon since the 40's . Our parents and grandparents read in the "Flash Gordon Comics" fantasies which would become history in the 60's and 70's.

@Scayde:
This isn't about the great pulp sci-fi serial comic or the old black-and-white movies, but the velveeta-ridden, Queen-soundtracked movie with Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Melody Anderson, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Sam J. Jones and the super-yummy Ornella Muti.

In sheltered Scayde's defense, their is some evolution between the two - albeit more camp and tongue-in-cheek.

Its the All-American Hero thing.

This is so wonderful, I'm beginning to cry....

A Flash Gordon thread!!!

Frogus, you are the best.

I'm going to run out and get a new copy of that movie.

Ming was deliciously evil. Aura was deliciously lovely. And Flash was deliciously heroic! I liked Ming's disaster buttons. Quite cool.
