Flash Gordon Returns
Tonight Flash Gordon returns to the small screen in yet another re-make of the 1930s serial. Sci-fi have scooped the UK premiere of the new show which stars former Smallville heart throb Eric Johnson as the invincible hero. It may have modern day special effects, and actors primped and preened to the point of insanity it would be difficult to out-do and nigh on possible to out-camp the 1980 film.
The figure hugging lycra costumes, the endless double entendres ("I'll come if you rocket there quickly"), and the musical genius of Queen. How could this film fail to be the best remembered and best loved incarnation of Flash? And that's before you get to the simmering sensuality of Princess Aura and Prince Barin and Brian Blessed's most famous line ever "Gordon's alive?!"
In issue two of retrorama ezine we'll be offering up a full review of the new series and giving you the gospel truth about how it meaures up to the 1980 feature. You can subscribe for free by emailing us at retroramamagazine@gmail.com, that way you can be sure not to miss out on any 80s action.
