Fifth place in the The Top 10 Sentences From Third-Rate SF Stories list goes to ... .

5> ''You could tell it was a real UFO because there weren’t any
wires holding it up and it smelled like outer space.''

All are funny, but without attribution who knows if
they're real? You can't see any wires holding Flash Gordon's
rocket ship either. Do you know why? Because it was
real. I think Werner Von Braun designed his prototype space ships
on Zarkov's. Didn't Richard Nixon try to costume the
uniformed Secret Service in Ming the Merciless attire?
My kids made me take them to the movies each Saturday to see the next installment of Flash Gordon - Space Soldiers Conquer the Universe!
The copyright has expired on them, so Yippie-Kai-Ay, here's Flash,
Dale, and Zarkov returning to Planet Mongo to find an antidote
for the Purple Death.
As an aside, I taught Larry Crabbe (Flash Gordon) how to swim withoout holding his nose.

I have the entire Flash Gordon collection on DVD. When I was a kid, our school showed serial episodes during lunch hour. Flash's adventures were my favorites. Actually, Dale's were my favorites.
