      I do agree about I Claudius and he was also in Dr Who.
      Also I think I have him figured out. I read that his dad and uncle and other family were coal minors. So I picture him dreading having to grow up and go into the mines. But he made it as an actor so I think what we are seeing is a guy on a perpetual high because internally he's screaming I DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO THE COAL MINES!

    The cast aren't terrible actors. They're deliberately hamming it up, because the film is essentially a tongue-in-cheek remake of the Flash Gordon film series from the 1930s. Apart from all the sexual innuendoes, it's actually a pretty faithful recreation.
    It was made partly as an attempt to cash in on the success of Star Wars, but the goofier tone wasn't what the SW audience expected, and it bombed at the box office. In the years since, it's become something of a cult classic.

      Not sure if you know this but a few months ago the Flash Gordon daily newspaper comic received a reboot. It starts with him and others in the process of defeating Ming in the Mongo civil war.
      So the strip is telling the story of what Flash, Dale and Zarkov and the other nations of Mongo and how they are trying to rebuild with Ming gone.

    Bit of trivia for you Ashleigh:
    Prince Barin is played by Timothy Dalton, who would go on to play James Bond.
    Ming The Merciless is played by Max Von Sydow who was Father Merrin in The Exorcist.
    Prince Vultan is played by Brian Blessed, who IRL punched a polar bear in the face while making his trip to become the oldest man to reach the magnetic North Pole (which he succeeded in doing). The man is considered a national treasure here in the UK.
    It's funny you should mention Rocky Horror as the actor who played Riff Raff (who is also the writer of the original Rocky Horror stage show) Richard O'Brien is the bald Arborian who betrays Flash in the swamp cage.
    There's also a blink & you'll miss it cameo right at the start of the movie where one of the airfield workers is in fact Hagrid himself, Robbie Coltrane.

    With over 2000 comments, I'm sure people have talked about almost everyone in the cast, but I have to give love to the late Mariangela Melato, who played General Kala. She starred in some of the best Italian films that were released in America in the '70s, many directed by a woman named Lina Wertmuller, who was the first woman nominated for Best Director at the Oscars (for her film SEVEN BEAUTIES). For Wertmuller, Melato starred in LOVE AND ANARCHY, SWEPT AWAY, and SUMMER NIGHT. Melato never really became a star in America, but she did one minor hit here with the late Ryan O'Neal, SO FINE about a designer jean craze, where she played the wife of a mobster played by giant actor Richard Kiel, who you saw in HAPPY GILMORE and who you'll see later in your James Bond dive in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER.

    The campy acting was intentional, it was based on a serial from the 1930s. The cast really had some talented actors; Max von Sydow (Ming) was the old priest in the Exorcist, Brian Blessed (Voltan) was a classically trained Shakesperian actor, Timothy Dalton (Barin) would go on from this role to play James Bond, and Topol (Zarkov) is best known for playing the lead role in Fiddler on the Roof.

      That isn't too hard to suspend disbelief for in my opinion. The movie is in English because nobody wants to watch Flash Gordon with subtitles. It is intentionally campy and really invites you to just accept that sort of thing regardless of realism.
