Perhaps one of the most insane, idiotic and unashamably hilarious films I have ever seen. For the most part, Flash is depicted as an unbearable idiot. Here is a man with the expression of a lemming and the IQ of a puddle, who we are to get behind and support as he takes down an evil empire. How does he take it down? Well, with blind luck, mainly.
Everything about the film is dated and budget. The aesethetics are garish and laughable. The action scenes are among the stupidest I have ever seen. When Flash uses his 'American Football Powers' to beat back the armed to the teeth guards, I thought my stomach was going to explode. The heroine is a wimp, yet manages to beat up about six guards using nothing by hiding behind things at ninety degree angles from the guards, the supporting cast look like they want to be somewhere else (yes you, Timothy Dalton) and who could blame them?
It's obtained a cult following, and probably rightly so, but I can't really see myself wanting to see this film ever again, even out of novelty value. So bad, it's good. Then bad again.
3/10
