Based on the eponymous comic book character, stud muffin Sam J Jones dons the trademark Lycra and prepares to do battle with intergalactic emperor Ming The Merciless. New York Jets star quarterback and bright-eyed all-American boy, Flash is the quintessential hero. After a near fatal plane crash almost robs him of his life, Flash blasts into space in order to face the threat head on. Using a mix of courage, brains and brawn, Gordon brings about the downfall of Ming’s imperial police state and gets the girl, all set to Queen’s magnificent musical score – what a guy. After battles with deadly tree beasts, tussles with burly Hawkmen and a run in with a rather sexy seductress, we’re amazed that “Gordon’s alive!”
