Actually, I enjoyed watching the 1936 Flash Gordon serial episode more than the campy 1980 remake. The 1936 serial episode was a black & white film and the actors had a serious tone.
The 1980 remake is a campy space fantasy. Mixing swords with ray guns does not work. Mixing birdman mythology with 1930s rocketship technology does not work in 1980 or later. I would rate the 1980 remake at 3.0 stars for the producer's efforts in trying to revive Flash Gordon.
