Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders (1990)

aka Flesh Gordon 2; aka Flesh Gordon 2: Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders

How bad is it? It's surprisingly good.
Should you see it? Sure. Unless you're easily offended.


This film manages to do the nearly impossible: make a science fiction sex comedy that's funny. Just as "Porky's" had hundreds of imitators, who failed to get a single laugh from randy teenage boys, most science fiction comedies are a complete waste. This film is actually funny. It's also sophomoric, tasteless and silly. The special effects work for the most part, the acting isn't excruciatingly bad (though it's not great) and the plot moves along nicely. Perhaps I've just seen too much trash, but I think this is an okay film.
