Flash Gordon!

Post #115,749 by gdaustin 8/28/03 9:59:41 PM Reply	Flash Gordon! Now that was a cool movie. Hokey, but cool for a pre-teen kid. Emperor Ming was evil, his daughter was very hot. I'd watch it again, just to see Ming's daughter. Glen

He was at some kind of swimming event at the East Side Boy's Club in NYC. A couple of us followed him after he left, walking to the nearest subway station at 14th Street and First Avenue. At the time, it was amazing that he used the subway. Alex "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." -- last words of Pancho Villa (1877-1923)

I suspect that few will associate [link\|http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800022160&cf=biog&intl=us\| Max] with Ming.. most with Ingmar Bergman flicks [12!] - but his repertoire is astounding: If he hasn't, he should write a book. Ming's daughter? How about Liv Ullman.. and a few dozen others. Ashton

Yep, I have that very dialogue and then the music on one of my favorite cassette tapes, Ballads For An Owl (and I consider it a story, thus a ballad). Love it!!!

Klytus: An obscure body in the SK system, your majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet "Earth". Ming: How peaceful it looks...
