    Holy Moses... Lt. Paris was in the He-man movie?! I know I was like 6 when that movie came out, but you'd think I'd have remembered that. Huh... crazy.

    Ahh, yes, Masters of the Universe...
    Even as a kid, knowing how much they changed from the cartoon, I still loved this movie--and that collar was one of my first exposures to mind control fiction.
    Retroactively, of course, the film gets a lot of bonus points for its Everybody Movie status, as various commenters have already noted the famous cast.
    I should track down a copy of this DVD, which appears and disappears from stores around here all the time...I've always wanted to listen to the commentary track, for one thing.

    The DVD features a commentary track by director Gary Goddard--who also developed Captain Power, another beloved artifact of my childhood.

    Is it odd that im so use to CGI that i enjoy to see things like this more?
    back then if you wanted a castle set, you built a castle set. if you wanted a man with a sckull for a head you spent hrs with make-up, and prosthetics .
    now its just a case of painted walls blue and throwing a blue ski mask over and actors head, and its all done post production.
    i used to love to watch behind the scenes of movies, to see all the work that went into creating my fantasy world, now you rarely see behind the scenes footage, becasue its just a bunch of animators in front of computers, and that's not even all that interesting thanks to motion capture.
    im not against CGI , it should just be used to enhance , not replace. (end rant)

    I was in my thirties when this movie came out and wouldn't have gone to the theatre to see it on a bet. Then I saw it later on cable and loved it. Full of kinky awesomeness. You gotta wonder what the producers and directors were thinking; they musta been fully aware that this movie worked more then one level. And Meg Foster..... mmmmmmmm....

    I loved this movie as a kid but as an adult I think they missed an opportunity having the movie take place mostly on Earth instead of Eternia. Although Skeletor has the best line, "He-Man, what are you doing on this tasteless planet?"

    @Bill-Lee: I was a fan of the cartoon and I was also dissappointed that they took the cheep way out and set it on Earth. There was no president to transport them all to Earth. In the cartoon Earth was never mentioned.

    To this day I still love the Skeletor make-up.
    with most make up jobs you can see the actor behind it, but for the life of me to this day I cannot see anything of Frank Langella in that make-up job. Well done!

    '...and doing what we need to do to bring the idea to the masses in a way that's going to be relevant today and be something that hasn't been done before...'


    Pitch: Adam is a hairdresser in Santa Monica with a big burly mechanic boyfriend named Manny O'Arms and his lipstick-lesbian friend Teela. Oh, and his cat Scaredy-Pussy.


    A local drag queen, known as Saucer Ass, helps him to manipulate his sword to become He Man, the best darn stripper in town, powerful enough to beat the podium-dancing prowess of those lower east side punks, Man-E-Faced-Bitch and SkullBoy.


    Too much...?
