Flesh Gordon

Flesh Gordon (1974) is a cult sci-fi sex spoof you can watch online on iFILM — a raunchy, no-budget send-up of the old Flash Gordon serials from Howard Ziehm and Michael Benveniste.

A "Sex Ray" fired from the planet Porno by the depraved Emperor Wang has Earth writhing in uncontrollable lust. Enter Flesh Gordon, a square-jawed football hero who rockets off toward the source with his girl Dale Ardor and the daffy Professor Flexi-Jerkoff. What follows is cardboard monsters, sex-shop costumes and gags aimed strictly below the belt.

Look past the smut, though, and there's real craft in the stop-motion creatures — early work from a crew of young enthusiasts that included future Oscar winner Rick Baker. It's camp midnight-movie fare for fans of '70s trash who know exactly what they signed up for. Stream Flesh Gordon (1974) online on iFILM.
