Sky and Flash Gordon (3)

Posted on by

Early on thursday morning (04.55am) they’re showing the film ‘Flash Gordon’ on the Sky Villains channel. The Sky Guide description reads:

“This film has outdated attitudes, language and cultural depictions which may cause offence today. Hero Flash Gordon races to save Earth from the Emperor Ming.”

Are they serious? This is a PG film. It’s ‘Flash Gordon’ (1980), not ‘Flesh Gordon’ (1974).

You could say that every film made before 1970 has outdated attitudes. Why would the idiots at Sky think we need this warning?

I find their description offensive. Fuck off, Sky.

  1. Is it coz Ming is a whitey made to look like a chink? Answers on a postcard please to:

    The Chief Snowflake Cunt at Sky
    Isleworth
    somewhere in Londistan
    what used to be the UK

  2. I noticed one film, whose name escapes me, had this same shit at the expense of telling people what the fucking film was about. Fine by me, I just won’t watch it.

    • I don’t know if it was the Mel Brooks classic ‘Blazing Saddles’ Moggie, but I saw something where HBO gave a three minute lecture on offensive language, outdated attitudes etc etc before showing it, giving away large parts of the plot despite it being a satire on racism.

      • You’re right LL. It was Blazing Saddles. Coincidentally I watched it a few days ago on Sly Cinema’s platform and I laughed my bollocks off so hard, I’ve had to have them rettached.

      • ” Good morning Maam, & isn’t it a fine moring ? ”

        ” Up yours N****r ! ” 🙂

      • Anyone who complains about Blazing saddles truly are the “leasing assholes of the state!”

      • It wasn’t that, it was a film I didn’t know. The campfire scene with the beans always brings tears to my eyes with laughter.

  3. Outdated language, attitudes…. what the fuck, outdated to who or whom, not to me and I suspect many others.
    Just because the Woke bible says No, the general public don’t give a fuck.

    There are still plenty of Alf Garnets around……

  4. They’re called ‘trigger warnings’ and they are for the snowflake generation who are so easily offended. Talk Radio had a segment on this the other day.

    I’m sure Sturgeon will be banning all old movies and sit coms once the Scottish Hate Crime bill goes through. Having a DVD of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum will get you two years in jail!

    • I heard that Talk Radio report too. It concerned a ridiculous HBO three minute (FFS!) trigger warning before Blazing Saddles, that also included spoilers!

      I despair. Only a woke SJW snowflake (no sense of humour by default) could possibly find offence in a film that takes the piss out of racism.

      Whatever next? Warnings of antisemitism before showings of Young Frankenstein?

      “it’s pronounced Frankensteen…”

  5. The funny thing is the Long Duk Dongs probably wouldn’t give a fuck. They are too busy making preparations to become Emperor Ming in reality while people in the West are still trying to figure out which of the 43 genders they are and if black emojis are cultural appropriation. I imagine these westerners will be able to have a vigorous debate about these important issues while enjoying the hospitality of a Chinese concentration camp in a decade or 2

  6. Conversely, shouldn’t there be a trigger warning on anything shoved out the shitpump by the BBC or C4, stating that their entire output is fictional cultural marxist bullshit?

  7. My film buff mate asked, “Did you know, that the actress who played Pussy Galore in Goldfinger was once admitted to hospital for treatment after splitting her fanny wide open.?”

    I said, “Honor Blackman..?”

    He said, “No, on a dildo”….

  8. Hopefully, in 20 years time Sky will have to give warnings along the lines of ‘This pile of shot was made in 2021 when Hollywood was run by a bunch of woke/BLM cunts’.

  9. They should just say what they mean; “this film may offend snowflakes of the Owen Jones persuasion”.

  10. I like the director’s cut of Flash Gordon, the one where Emperor Ming orders Brian Blessed to bum Flash in the middle of the throne room and flap his wings at the same time.

  11. Maybe all films from now on should be labelled with new classifications to accommodate woke sensitivities.

    TW – Trigger Warning, may induce bedwetting and hysteria if viewed.
    S – Viewing suitable for snowflakes.
    N – By viewing this you are indeed a Nazi.
    GT – Groupthink approved.
    W – Woke content.

  12. Sky are almost rivalling Al BBCibad with their cuntery and effnik mither.
    As an added bonus they can shove their films up their woke arses.
    I still like watching the legal warning at the beginning of a dvd I paid good money for about not pirating it.
    Anyhow I switch it off after the warning and watch a HD copy I found on the Internet.
    Fuck those Cunts.

  14. C areful!
    U npleasant 😢
    N asty
    C ruel
    Watch out now 23 Year old babies!
    GORDONS ALIVE?
    All my bumder friends won’t like this – Flash Gordon is a cultural icon for the gays!
    I sense eyes being scratched out!

    • Meant to put “Terrible” as the last one, but me anti psychotics are kicking in!..
      Zzzzz

  15. Fucking hate woke cunts with a passion. I’d like to see the warning for Grimsby Brothers

      • Vernon-whilst visiting a musician mate near Woking in Surrey, back in the early 90,s, we spotted Brian Blessed walking down the road-I pointed at him and he shouted, no fucking bellowed: “Yesss-‘‘tis I, Bbrrriiian Blessed!”.
        We did that , Wayne’s world thing , where you go prime and wave your arms, we are not worthy. He pissed himself.
        The man is a fucking legend👍👍👍👍😀

  16. If I ever became minted I would spend my money on billboard posters and adverts exposing all this bollocks from BLM and the woke celebrities etc etc
    But alas I am not minted and need employment so cannot do any of that apart from posting stuff like PJW on Facebook.
    If I win the £99million tomorrow look to the skies there will be more than just ALL LIVES MATTER trailing behind a Cessna.

  17. I didn’t want to intrude on private grief but why the fuck are grown men commenting on Flash Gordon?
    I last saw Flash Gordon in the early 60’s when I went along to the ABC club on a Saturday morning. Fuck off.

  18. How about pre-programme warnings of juvenile, facile, treacherous and plain idiotic content? Every day when Radio 4 starts up.

      • “May contain traces of people who are fkin nuts”!
        Why you all looking at me then? – what you trying to say? 😁

      • Id love to sit and watch a proper woke, snowflake leftie read these posts sometimes,
        The horror on their face would be priceless!!
        Totally offended,
        Crying maybe?
        Lovely.

      • “Mum! Mum! it’s twiggering my asthma and everything”!
        “What’s wrong Tarquin”?
        “I saw a white heteresexual couple and nobody was shouting waycist, fascist, n*zi at them – can you put a Marvel film on and TikTok my lecturer”? 😢

      • I was thinking after someone mentioned was there a French IsAC yesterday, what if there is a leftie version out there somewhere cunting Donald Trump in the same way we cunt Blair or Fox News to our BBC? There might be a Nazi Liquidator non-binary vegan.

      • “Zut alor – zis Les Miserables Englishman is insulting us again Claude”!
        “We will not stand for zis Rene – let us surrender – that will teach the ros beefs”!
        “Heads down – zat Fox fellow is firing cannons at us again”!
        “Throw ze soap at him Claude – we av no need for eet”!

      • I like to think there is!
        A organic farmer who likes cyclists and ramblers?
        Happy southern cunt?
        “Love salad me!”
        White&black cunt who beleives in saving hisself a virgin till he marries?

      • Can you imagine their admin policing all the trigger warnings, micro aggressions and hate speech. With so many competing victim groups, conflict is inevitable. Ruff Tuff Soypuff would be on archive duty.

  19. I am at ease with my outdated attitudes and toxic masculinity. BLM, LGBT, BAME and other assorted low life / reeeetard / liberal fascisti / and just plain nutters, can fuck right off. Guy Gibson’s dog will always be n1gger, and Bernard Manning will always be funny. A large black woman yelling THOMAAAAAAAAS !!! will always make me smile.
    As will this ….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0n88tZQc4Q
    Gosh, I must be a racist.
    Oh dear,
    What a shame,
    Never mind.
    And a big GET TO FUCK to all the woke cunts.
    Good evening.

    • ‘Put it in the curry!!”
      😁😁
      Evening Jack, great clip.
      Thing is, they try and outlaw something thats funny, doesn’t make it any less funny!
      If anything disapproval makes it funnier!!😁

      • Good evening MNC. Hope you are well and prospering. Think back to when you were a kid, if you were told you couldn’t do something / have something / go somewhere, it immediately became intensely desirable. A bit like the fence painting bit in Huckleberry Finn. Once it was ok, the allure waned. Like drinking alcohol, before you’re eighteen, it’s so much more exciting, getting served in the pub underage was a big thrill.
        I was fourteen when I bought my first pint in a pub, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.
        Don’t go near that girl who lives at No. 47. Mother used to say.
        Rat.
        Drainpipe.
        Happy days.
        :o)

      • I was 15 when started drinking in pubs, sure people realised I was just a whippersnapper?!
        But as long as we behaved they turned a blind eye.
        Used to be all these kids with bumflush moustaches trying to get served!☺

    • Oh ffs what a classic. So pleased you posted that link. If only we had an army of real Daleks to exterminate the dinghy invaders.

      • If ever we needed a Davros, now is the time, Mr. BendyDick.
        Try two pieces of wood and a g clamp, leave for three weeks, and you’ll be as straight as a ramrod.
        It worked for me.

  20. Just put a warning sticker on the DVD box or when the film starts simply stating ‘May offend cunts’.

  21. I suspect that the powers that be at Sky don’t really think that people need warning about context; most people are more than capable of making judgments. I think this about shitting themselves in case the ‘cancel culture’ brigade get on their case, and them trying to cover their arses. If this is indeed the case, they’re cowards and fucking stupid with it, given that I’m sure most sane individuals are more than happy to see the finger being given to bedwetters.

  22. Went to see Flash Gordon at the pictures in 1980 when I was about six. Wondered what the rising in my pants was when Ornella Muti was on the screen. Said hello to my monster a few times over the years whilst thinking about her.

  23. A film that might need a warning before it is the 1974 film ‘Zardoz’. It stars James Bond actor Sean Connery.
    The warning is mainly for his outfit. Haha 😀

  24. I agree with Sky, it is only right that people are warned. These outdated and highly problematic movies should have these warnings especially for our children so parents can have these conversations with them. I don’t think we should be showing older films with racist and sexist depictions. I agree Flash Gordon is racist and the cultural appropriation concerns me, i don’t think in today’s more compassionate and multicultural society it should not be shown on TV as it is outdated and offers nothing for the generation of today. I think it should be erased completely.

    • Do you want to watch nazi porn with me?
      We can dress up!
      Maybe do the locomotion?

    • Hello, I’m sorry I was being sarcastic, and trying to write how a idiot soy boy would write. It’s actually fucking stupid. I love this site, you all talk so much sense

      I would love to do the locomotion with you anyday, plus we can slow dance to especially fro you. You can be Jason of you like

  25. Are they a bit worried about the line where Klytus says ‘Now he had promise!’ when viewing Zharkov’s memories of Hitler?

    Flash and Excalibur; two proper superhero films.

    If youve only seen Flash without the Brian Blessed DVD commentary, then you’ve only seen half the film.

    It is fucking mental.
