FLASH SIRLOIN (1981) is a homemade, restaurant-set FLASH GORDON homage

Oh, sure, it was made for about two bucks on a lazy weekend in 1981, but Chris Maxfield and John Torretta's 8mm-lensed little fan film (using no doubt unlicensed Queen music) has a sense of exuberance and fun that plenty of similar homemade films today lack.  This wasn't done to get famous, this was done because a bunch of guys had a lot of fun making a silly little movie.  HARDWARE WARS is the clear inspiration.

Update:  From what I can tell, it seems to be shot at this place in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, which is still open!
