Flash Gordon- Because why the hell not!!
Bunny, are you from the USA?
If not, does the line in that movie where Flash introduces himself to Ming as, "Flash Gordon, quarterback New York Jets" generate any laughs?
Here in America whenever I watch that film with people, we all find it to be amongst the funniest, greatest lines in film history. That's not an exaggeration. It really is an astonishingly funny line (it would take years to explain why, has to do with the Jets which needs years and years of knowledge of that team to fully understand the joke).
Just curious, does that line mean anything to you? If you don't recall the line, then my theory is correct: it is only brilliantly funny to Americans.
