Masters of the Universe 1987 Movie Part 1 

Exactly the same! We even got the book and sticker collection which we did together!

me and my older brother...

I went with my aunt

Me and my dad but this is from his time I used to record this on my tv and watch it on Fridays

Thanks for the life story

Agree. Langella was a great Skeletor

That’s about where it ends too (minus the scenes up to the school) 🤣.Until the end. To me this movie suffered so badly in the middle but the intro and ending and are an 11/10. They need a 2021 remake. Without the original actors, soundtrack, and similar scenes such as the end battle it just wouldn’t be the same and modern film making and actors would actually produce an moderate or decrease production.

The whole film is flawless!

Ok maybe the score is pretty bad.

I always wish he didn't have Eyez... even back then... i always like how da lighting goes on his face Soo Badd...

I always preferred Near Dark to the Lost Boys

@@SamuelBlack84 I've never seen that

@michaelkavanagh932 Honestly, it's an awesome film. Great atmospheric music by Tangerine Dream, beautiful cinematography, and a good realistic depiction of vampires

@@SamuelBlack84 I looked at it on imdb. Definitely going to give that a go soon mate thanks for the tip

@Cutie Eevee 2 this one of the movies from my childhood. I love the holosphere scene. And Sekeletor was badass!

He has since said it was his all time favorite role and it shows! You can tell he was having an absolute blast being Skeletor!

Nothing made this movie ;)

Preach!

It was his favorite role.

@@SethBrundleify I remember him saying as soon as he was offered the role, "he didn't even blink". He loved every minute of it. And let's be honest: who wouldn't? lol

One of the greats

Couldn't agree more & he still gives me the heebi jeebiz age 38 as he did when I was 6!

Dark forces of evil calling himself Skeletor.

Yeah you still know the lyrics to this movie

They were good days 😊

AYE MATE

37 too and I agree!

The theme is like Star wars and Supermans theme did the dirty.

She finally found a role to perfectly suit her eyes

Jake Badlands London w7 Couldn’t agree more 👍🏻 it’s my fave geeky movie followed by Star Wars and Flash Gordon lol

+richis404 In retrospect now that I'm older realize how bad this film was. More over this is something I really hate to see good actors in really bad movies just like Raul Julia in Street Fighter both Langella and Julia said they did it because their kids were fans of their respective franchises.

Lord Benjen Stark I agree the movie isnt good and I know about it that these actors did it mainly for their kids , but I think Langella also said that he had a lot of fun playing the role . Watching the movie is a nostalgia trip for me , liek I said I was fan of the cartoons so a live action version of heman blew my mind as a kid , but being objective I think the main flaw of the movie is that they didnt play it entirely on eternia

richis404 Exactly, Langela did steal the show and the whole purpose of fantasy is to forget one's current reality. So them coming to Earth was kind of dumb and unfortunately Beast Master 2 made the exact same mistake which ultimately ruined the franchise.

Me too man. Ahhhh, childhood 😊

We had an awesome childhood

She doesn’t say finally

You are not the only one, pal. The world wasn't such a big mess like nowadays.

Where's the whole movie 🎬?

I've always admired him 😊

Thats interesting as good journey would correspond to the Anglo/Germanic Fare well which in Nordic Fare (Far) means both the English fare but also travel in Norwegian/Swedish/Danish that being said saying fare well is rather permanent whilst good bye is more of a see you soon.

I think movies had a sincerity that is lost in today's world. Even something as clearly ridiculous as Masters of the Universe was played straight. Nowadays it would be made ironically and goofy and they'd be quipping every 2 minutes. This is one of the exact reasons the new Star Wars movies feel off. They are much too self aware. The original trilogy let you get lost in the world and invest in the perfectly constructed reality of it all. Now it's nodding at the audience half the time and making unnecessary references to things from before and treating the movies and characters themselves as legends within the story's own internal universe. Kids used to have cool, iconic and well drawn characters whose shoes they could step into for a few hours. Now they have placeholders who spend more time fawning over the old characters than becoming good characters in their own right. I realise I'm grown up now but I highly doubt kids are as excited to imagine themselves as Finn, Rey and Poe compared to Luke, Han and Leia.

100

@@kevtb874 Well said

Classic movied us 80's kids grew up with back then had their own charm to them is what it is. To people today it's called cheesy, But I find they had a unique charm to their movies which is what I adored

The characters were given more substance and I think sometimes working to CGI hinders an actor's feel for being in the moment. I don't know. But I agree with your comment

I watch it as an adult and don't think it is bad!

He was perfect as were all the cast x great underrated movie x

I had NO problem with Dolph Lundgren as He-man, I mean he looked like the cartoon did he fit perfectly

i agree..i'm watching this the first time..out've curiosity..yeah..there's some history there...but won't get into it.. I was SO HAPPY to see Dolph Lundgrin!!..😍..(play this part)...'Can't wait to see this movie..i know, it's going to be cheeseball but i'm ok with that...lol. Too bad he declined The Sequel..i think he's THE BEST GUY to play this part...would've loved to see him follow this role..One of the most beautiful man in the world..😏...imho. and Courtney Cox!??..🤯 edit: you know, it's not 'so bad'.. lol..i kinda like it..haha

@@aamnaahmed6741 not teela

bull shiza Haha time gone to fast!!! lol

Mark Wheeler I left a comment above about his epic entrance and the music , So so cool . Feel like a kid again. As an adult I think I like it more now . I was a baby when I watched it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎😎so f ing crazy , hence the memories been so dark yet so well made and underrated

Mark Wheeler watching it for the first time right now! I'm marathoning He Man and She Ra at the same time. I realized, in one of my official exams, I can actually prepare an essay on He Man for most of my marks! 😂 Best excuse to watch more He Man ever. This movie hasn't lost its magic! It still feels like He Man for sure :D Skeletor is actually pretty ok!

i have it on dvd its an instant classic

Same with me. My mother bought it for me.

Ah Gwildor.

My favorite fluff scene. Can't stop laughing any time I see it

🤣

And he did an awesome job of stealing this movie.

And Teela did a great job of keeping me here.

Seriously the best part of the movie. Such a cheesy mask but he plays the role SO well it makes it

Yeah 100% agree, if it hadn’t been for him the film would have easily been forgotten, but he gives an amazing and very multidimensional performance given the source material. He brings a deep melancholy to the character. The only slightly cringe part is when he gets all the powers of the universe at the end, he gives a speech that goes on ten minutes as it happens lol

Frank Langella took a villain who had been comic relief, and made him scary. That was the true Skeletor

MotU , Rocky , 007 FYEO , Karate Kid , Dynasty......hes simply amazing !

Brilliant music!

From Bill Conti himself the Man Behind the Melodies of Rocky and the Karate Kid.

Most of the movie should have never took place on earth it should've stayed on Eternia.Most of the characters from the cartoon was missing it was just a huge mess.Its a guilty pleasure if u like it but by no means is it a good movie

Not even a guilty pleasure, just a pleasure. so terrible but cant help loving it.

It's an awesome movie, a childhood favourite. But Kevin and Julie fucking ruin it for me now. I can't stand to watch their scenes. Cox fucking sucks. So annoying and whiney, both of them. Lube-dick the baldy was pretty funny tho, but out of place. Shame they had to film most of it on earth due to budgets.

It was alright. It wasn't the best, because it didn't follow the cartoon. Sometimes when you've seen a cartoon growing up, you fall in love with it, but then when it's made into a real live action movie, it ruins the cartoon, because they take things out that was in the cartoon or add things that weren't even in the cartoon, and that just ruins my childhood for me.

Lukebryane3 So why are you here

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣CLASSIC call.

I found this movie bit creepy as a kid , esp school scene , it felt like something out of a horror movie

Beastman looked like Satans pet :p

Nostalgia Critic... you can start with him

Master, I will respect this and all cult classics.

Or just they......KNEEEEEL!!!!

The ultimate planetary PA system.

He gave, as he himself put it, a Shaksperian aspect to Skeletor. A truly remarkable performance for such a role.

@@hisdudeness8328 I really liked what he did with Skeletor and he made him more darker, scarier, more realistic and more believable as villain.

@@hisdudeness8328 One of Skeletor's lines in the film is taken from Shakespeare’s Richard III ("I am not in giving vein this day".)

You make a grand entrance when walking into the place that you've drempt of occupying for so long.

Best comment ever!

To let his dudes know that their boss is not fcking around.

Can't be bothered

How about later in the movie when he comes to Earth?

I think I could do that.Darth Vader New Hope or keeping with the James Earl Jones theme False of Doom from Conan

If you doubt me watch Conan the barbarian again!

@@carltondabott8909 well, maybe the best villain entrance after Darth Vader's.

Dolph Lundgren was a great He-Man. who do you thin might be a good one today?

I think the wrestler triple h would have been good when he had is long blonde hair I think

I actually used to think the same thing, but then I thought Triple H would have been better as King Grayskull

@@jduttskywalker maybe mate

The only part H-orrible H-ugly H-arsehole can play is of a man with no talent :D

You never watch the WWF or WCW growing up, did you?

Christina isn’t in this

The cartoon its is based on is better the movie is one big pile of dung heap

The cartoon was amazing. This movie had nothing to do with the cartoon.

One of the best of the best from the greatest times for (real) movies, 80's had it all...endless magic.

Me too

Little did Christina Pickles and Courteney Cox know that, within 10 years, they'd be co-actresses again.

@@ckendall67 that's amazing! 😊😊

Yeah. Very cheesey. But damn I loved being a kid in the 80s

I'm just glad I'm able to find such relics of the golden age

Its cheesy but its cult and compared to the bullshit we got today as movies its a diamond

@@otisb.driftwood7106 No cheesiet-- actually far better than most Sword and Sandal films from the 80s. Have you seen Dragonslayer? Beastmaster?

@@oscarorozco8989 Beastmaster i have seen. I am also an 80s Child and He Man was my idol back in the days. In germany we have the luck to had those epic radio plays of He Man

The Troopers are Horde troopers which means Hordak has been defeat, is out of action or has been put in a retirement home. In this version Skeletor is leading the Horde.

It could be it was from when Skeletor had a larger army for sure, and Eternia military in the cartoon is... drastically down-sized as well. I can't think of seeing more than a squad of them in the entire cartoon series. LOL.

You wanna try saying that again, this time in English?

Jesus how bad is this movie?!

+Hdog Hillyer Too bad Denzel Washington didn't save her, as she was on St. Elsewhere with him.
