Director: Gary Goddard
Year: 1987
Live action He-Man.... that's all you need to know.
Following Skeletor's war with the world of Eternia, Castle Grayskull is now under evil control. Skeletor and his forces hold the Sorceress captive while day by day she is drained of her power. Skeletor is now waiting for the moon of Eternia to align with a great Eye of the Universe that will make him god-like and grant him the power of the Universe. It is up to He-Man and his freedom fighters to stop Skeletor.
The story is a little goofy, but what can you expect from an 80s sci-fi film? Laser guns, strange beats, keys unlocking gateways to other worlds, a goofy midget, the best one-liner in any film, and He-Man!!! Awesome cartoon turned live action. You also have to love Dolph Lundgren (Russian in Rocky 4) as He-Man. Luckily for us Dolph studied up on his English in the two years since Rocky. It is still strange to hear He-Man with an accent but oh well.
And last - I don't know why but every time Lubic tells Charlies to "Ahh shut up" I but up laughing. Three words... that's all it is and it has to be one of the best lines ever. So go out and find this classic.
Good Journey.
