No matter how old I get (pushing 30), nor how sophisticated my film palette becomes, I still think this is one of the coolest damn openings ever. From that blowing wind sound to the Superman knock off theme, to me it’s brilliant. HE-MAN!
A lot of heman fans hate this movie, but it was ok. They are doing a remake in the summer of 2013. This will be around the time the Thundercats will come out. Keep in mind that superman and star wars was the only thing the producers could draw from during this time. He-man was unique in that its world was a mix of science fiction and fantasy.
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
Hello everyone, this is JDK the uploaded of these videos. I've been getting request from people for me to upload the full movie. If someone wants to do that then that's totally cool, but I'm not. Reason being is this movie is only like $5, just go buy it. If enough people show interest then we might get something cool like the movie on Blu Ray or a 25th anniversy collection edition in 2012.
@JDK04281980 Why the fuck would they ever put this trash out on bluray? They should just remake the thing with a better cast and plot. And a better (less star wars-y) duel at the end. Oh, and no superman sounding music.
@TWHuey Given the track record of cartoon adaptations/remakes in the past ten years I have little faith that Hollywood could produce anything better than this.
There is one fundamental mistake of the movie: to place character on Earth and to fail to reproduce the basic MOTU characters like Trap-jaw, Merman, Tri-klops. Stratos, Ram-man. They introduced instead some Skeletor Warriors that look just like Star Wars Troopers in black.
Langella's perfomance as Skeltor was easily the only redeemable thing about this movie. That being said, Meg Foster DID look every bit the part of Evil Lynn. However, even though Skeltor's costume looked good on him. I think everyone in set and costume design should have actually had to watch a bit of the cartoon before they designed the outfits. I mean I didn't expect an exact replica from the cartoon, but come on!! He-man's outfit looked NOTHING like the cartoon. I mean a cape, really bro?
I agree! Frank Langella was awesome! In fact, this take says a lot about the acting, considering there was barely a budget! I absolutely LOVE the intro in the movie (you could see what it 'would've' been if there was more money...). God-willing, we will see it done right SOON! :D
I saw this movie in theatres years ago when it came out. I hardly remember it that well. Mainly because I only saw it once. I'll have to see it again sometime just to refresh my memory.

Brings back so many memories. One of my favorite scenes was when Courtney Cox got chased through her high school gymnasium by Skeletor's goons.
As a kid I found that so scary, lol.

I read that apparently they did intend the film to be set on grayskull but due to budget cuts they had to change it to earth to save money lol
I hope the new He-man film is better if it sees the light of day!

Agreed here. Langella owned the part. He made a villainous character that was totally evil and badass.
