Plot
The storyline is reminiscent of the original Flash Gordon films, but with a generally campy flavor to it. The character names are innuendos, based on original characters from the serial, the hero Flesh Gordon (Jason Williams); his love interest Dale Ardor (Suzanne Fields); the evil Emperor Wang the Perverted (William Dennis Hunt); Dr. Flexi Jerkoff (Joseph Hudgins); Amora, Queen of Magic (Mycle Brandy); and a gay Robin Hood-like character called Prince Precious (Lance Larsen).
Emperor Wang aims a "Sex Ray" at the Earth from his home world of Porno . The entire planet becomes hopelessly sexually obsessed and it is up to Gordon to stop the rays. The film uses nudity whenever possible, and the scenes are shot in a style nearly identical to the original Flash Gordon serials. As an example, their rocket lands on the planet Porno. A sauropod dinosaur with a glans-like head is observed. Flesh asks Dr. "J", "What's that"? "Must be some kind of penisaurus", Dr. "J" replies.
A towering, demonic-looking creature, the Great God Porno (voiced by an uncredited Craig T. Nelson), brought out of hibernation by Emperor Wang makes an appearance, muttering obscenities in a very velvety voice. The monster's fate is a major plot point.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
