Think about the budget for this film, too, especially with the stop motion animation for the Tower of Death sequence.
Also, I’ll see your video store and raise you a UA Cineplex midnight showing in the 80’s.

It would make a great double-bill with the X-rated Batman TV show parody.
Oh, gosh, I so love MAD Magazine!
I swear to god I saw a Planter’s Peanuts-themed car parked behind one of those Oscar Mayer Weinermobiles on my street once.
The only thing that would have made it more perfect is if someone parked a BMW behind the Peanutmobile so it would go Weiner –> Nuts –> Asshole.
Our film society shoehorned this into a season that included two Bergman films and lots of 60s French cinema. I think it was the only first-run movie in the lot. I wonder if the distributors deliberately sought out university film societies as natural venues.
“Taint no parkin’ here.”
I never watched it, but when I lived in Austin, The Movie Store had a VHS copy of this. Apparently there were no more copies to be had: renting that movie required an extra deposit of something like $100 or $200.
See also: Fairy Tales, although it was “merely” R-rated.
I cannot believe I have never actually watched this. Growing up in Central Florida in the 70s, I must have heard the cheesy radio commercial for Flesh Gordon at Fairvilla Twin Cinema a gazillion times, and yet I never took the opportunity!
The trailer looks awesome, so obviously I have to make up for lost time. Putting it on my list!
