Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Inspired genius, the film is almost as funny as watching those who can't take it, walk out of the cinema in disgust. One for a midnight showing after four or five beers and you must see it with a girl on a first date, she'll love it.When will we get a third?

First I wanted to comment this film with only one word: BULLSH!T... but then I decided to write a warning for all those who haven´t seen it yet to avoid it at all cost! I loved Howard Ziehm´s great original from 1972, which is an undisputed classic of sleazy cinema in my eyes, but this nasty sequel is only extremely boring, extremely stupid and extremely disgusting! Some scenes are really alright like the take in the G-Spot Café, however too many stuff in this film makes you ask yourself with you´re wasting your precious time on such a load of rubbish! The anti-climax is when a nutty professor and a dumb chick flight with their spaceship through a field of farting (!!!) meteors or title hero Flesh Gordon gets attacked by feces-monsters... Can it be worser?!? Tough task I think! Costumes (What costumes?!?) and special F/X are so miserable that every Troma-production looks like a Jerry Bruckheimer-film in comparison! If you want to see Melissa Mound´s boobs buy a Hot Score magazine instead! "Flesh Gordon 2" is a cheek!!!

The original Flesh Gordon was a silly, campy take off on Flash Gordon and his serial compatriots. Flesh 1 was sophomoric to be sure, but the humour did work and the film is very entertaining. Not so the long delayed sequel that I recently purchased on DVD. As soon as I find a store that buys used DVDs, I will unload this piece of garbage. The director claimed that "political correctness" is what held the film's release up. After veiwing it I feel that it was shelved for so long due to the fact that it stinks, big time! The comedy in Flesh 2 is in such bad taste that it is not funny at all, it's just gross and offensive. It's all down hill after a promising "film within a film" opening, which itself is ruined by the antics of "King Dong" (bet the screen writers spent hours coming upon with that one). Speaking of bad comedy, I have to mention the Turd people, yes, Turd people. I feel really sorry for the folks playing these characters. I doubt that they put this film on their resumes. Mr. Hanky it's not. And couldn't they have cast better looking women in the parts of the Cosmic Cheerleaders? The ladies on view in these roles are dogs! And one is supposed to be an ex Playmate. I guess Heffner is going blind in his old age. At least the girl playing Dale is attractive as are the ladies in the opening sequence. The new guy playing Flesh was obviously chosen for his body rather than acting skills, which are nill. Another major problem is that the film has no sense of pace whatsoever. Even thought it's fairly short at 100 minutes or so, the film really drags and after awhile you wonder if it will ever end. This is what they made fast forward for.The only nice touch is the return of the guy who played Wang the Perverted in the first film. And that's it. Please do not waste your time or money on this peice of dreck. It simply is one of the worst.

Because I liked the special effects and stop-motion animation from the first film, I decided to check out the sequel. It contains stop-motion animation and special effects too but they pale beside the work done in the original. Several of the people who worked on the original were later Academy Award winners (such as Rick Baker and Dennis Muren) but the effects in this one are not as good and are few and far between. As far as porno films go, this one has less nudity in it than the original had. It's mostly crude toilet humor and bad acting. Dialogue scenes go one forever and the sound mix is so bad you can't understand what anyone is saying most of the time but since nothing said pertains to the plot (if there is one) then it doesn't matter. It starts out trying to create a 1930s atmosphere which is good but after that, it's a bunch of half naked people standing around talking. The first film is faster paced and better made and looks like STAR WARS compared to this.
