You mean the main theme that was taken from SUPERMAN??? 🤣

Nathan Pfahler it’s not the superman theme,it’s got a marching beat buts it’s not the same at all

@MeeslyMeeron - So many people, just like in the comments below, are just jumping on the bandwagon and crapping on this movie, but really have no idea what they’re talking about or just haven’t taken the time to find their own opinion. I challenge you to go rewatch the movie, because it IS extremely underrated and the special effects, make up, and costumes are away ahead of their time. Besides the scene where he-man’s flying around on the hover board which is obviously fake, (mind you no stuff like that looked real back then anyways), everything else is done amazingly. I’ve heard people make fun of skeletor and his face and say that it doesn’t look at all real, but I beg to differ. It looks incredibly real and better than most masks in movies to this day. His whole costume was amazing. Same with that lizard man. Sorry, I don’t remember his name. And the dialogue was also amazing. When skeletor is making his speeches and talking to he-man after he’s captured, it’s truly amazing dialogue. And his acting is superb as well. I’ve heard even major fans of he-man make fun of and crap on this movie, but it’s just one of those things that once a popular opinion is formed, a bunch of lemmings will just blindly follow suit. It’s kind of pathetic how people are afraid to have their own opinion even when it’s totally obvious that what they’re saying isn’t true. I commend you MeeslyMeeron for forming your own opinion and telling the truth about this movie.

It’s all the same chords and progressions. It’s absolutely a rip off

Movie still holds up pretty well, all things considered. I had no idea the production was this screwed up and cheap. They somehow still managed to mostly pull it off.

Yep i remember my dad telling me as a kid that the scene where there at the music store was in whittier and he would have to drive by there from work man i miss being a kid 😢

Cool

@@odee82ify i would be with you as a kid back then mate

That’s awesome!!

He still to this day says he had more fun playing Skeletor than any of his other roles. Just think on that. :)

Best way of describing it

A Sith Lohd?

I'm not so sure of that.

Contact him - he's very gracious when hearing appreciation from fans!

Uncle Joe & Neon Cherry Those were exactly my feelings about the film.

Saw this in the movies as a kid, and always have loved it. A pure 80's Nostalgic trip down memory lane every time I watch..

+KANE HELLZ It is awesome. I know people who don;t like it cuz it's NOT the cartoon...lol hogwash It's great on it's own. If you make a live action property EXACTLY like the source material - then what's the point of interest in that material ever again?

+Bronze Gremlin I'd love a sequel. They could honestly just start the cartoon story from this point. I see he-man walking eternia kung fu style...helping out the little towns, farmers & anyone in trouble...just roaming eternia with battlecat...as skeletor has been rotting in snake mountain, practically powerless still from the battle at grayskull (feeding like a vampire on the life force of his snake men servants to stay 'alive'). He has a plan to take over grayskull and get revenge on he-man and the sorceress by using the other broken cosmic key (being fixed by trapjaw) to sneak into the dragon's land and steal the dragonfire from granamire. Unbeknownst to him though evil lynn has been using the already fixed key to travel to the frightzone, meeting with her sister Shadoweaver... Without going into too much detail - basically dolph turns the mantle of he-man over to prince adam...you use the same story of adora from the cartoon only having evil lynn and shadoweaver being the ones who conspired to steal the baby...regardless she-ra is the sequel film and there you have a trilogy to sell lots of dvds and new toys with and we get a sequel...yay! Otherwise they'll reboot it and it will be lame...

+KANE HELLZ no sequel or reboot....as weve seen alrdy from other movies....it just doesnt work. the time is different, the cast is different... you get 1 chance to get it right...

KANE HELLZ Agree but it still could have used the whole effects crew at ILM and not just Richard Edlund and John Williams doing the score not the guy who scored Rocky

Nobody should have the right to remake or reboot Cannon movies :)

I can tell you why Dolph got crap he may have looked like he man but he sure as shit didn't act like him. but frank rocked it as old bone face man at arms and teela were god oh god just horrible the writing was shit the plot not the greatest.hell the comic adaption of this movie was wayyyy better than this pile of shit. hell I could the making of for this movie in two seconds . ya we made a space movie where people from plant come to earth. what to do call it well we will call flash Gordon . nah kids won't see that we will call it masters of the universe we will rake up the cash

So he needed to act like a gay guy wearing Pink?? Should have had him riding that tiger.

this movie was shit looking forward to the new one

Well for me it was not, was a different perspective about the franchise

I read that ex-NFL player Howie Long was also in the running.

Mathew Modine was Goddards choice for He-Man!

Not low budget at the time.

+jeremy hunt A shitty movie like Masters of the Universe from 1987? No thanks. Only because something is cult - doesn`t mean its good.

+RTG2000 I agree, Universal wouldn't have backed out on paying for half of the movie. And Universal would have made sure it was perfect, they more times than not get their money's worth, which is more than I can say for Cannon. For what it was, it was great, but it could have been a lot better.

it's this cannon company still around never heard of them ever

Andoc Don't forget Superman 4

Paul Widner he wasn’t spectacular but in some scenes he was pretty impressive

it's it true the making another heman moie I sure hope so cus this one sucked balls

KillYounglings for the time it was the best..Only thing i missed was orko that little elf thing gave me the creeps but still spot on loved it wish i could get it on dvd..

Still is

I was still watching this and was still a thing for me in 1987 to 1990
