Swords, Lasers, Buxom Lasses and Skeletor. How can a film get any better? | |
He-man, I only ever saw it on some show called Toon-Attik (I think that was the name.) But it was pretty darn goooood | |
Swords and Lasers? Baldercrap! No one show can have it all! | |
*ahem* Star Wars Original*ahem* | |
Those were laserswords | |
Yor: hunter from the future | |
Flash Gordon then :P | |
I..... I think I just messed my pants. I haven't had a really hardcore geekgasm in a long time, but He-Man, Thundercats and TMNT were cartoons I watched religiously, and the thought of a new He-Man movie just gets my nerdy engine revving. | |
People at school call me Flash Gordon, but I have never seen it. Wait a second...Wikipedia... Ooooo good quote "The story begins with Earth bombarded by fiery meteors. Dr. Zarkov believes the meteors are from outer space". Yeah you are totally right ROAE (mind if I call you that). Why aren't they making this a movie? | |
I don't care what anyone says, Frank Langella was the BEST Skeletor EVER!!! | |
Do you mean the Black and White Movie, the 80's movie or the 2010 movie? :) Watch the 80's movie and indulge yourself in a quatro formaggio delight. :) TROAE, ROAE or Root I answer to. :) | |
...Damn. Did they not learn from the last live action He-man film! Plus with all those gay overtones you'd be getting idiot parents complaining about it 24/7. | |
I read that wrong, and I thought you said Black and White would be a good movie, which it could given the right director, Scorcese could make it deep if it does a Raging Bull touch with it. But thanks a lot for the Gordon movie dates! Imma check them out | |
Fucking awesome! He-Man along with Thundercats, Bravestar and TMNT were the greatest things ever! The first film is brilliantly cheesy and Skeletor really kicked ass. The only problem is that they'll probably cast a bunch of douches as Skeletor and He-Man. | |
Never did get into He-Man as a kid, just could figure out what was the thing got other kids into it. Not trying to bash it but just wondering about it. | |
As long as Uwe Boll doesn't direct. It has potential | |

THUNDERCATS ARE GO! (I really had to) | |
The old He-Man movie is still one of my B-Movie favorites, it's a blatant Starwars ripoff that's got a decent budget but a laughably bad script. | |
I thought it was "THUNDERCATS HOOOOO!!!"? You're thinking of "THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!", I think. /pathetic nerdy nitpick | |
Is it just me or is Skelator striking a really gay pose in that pic? | |
On a late night show (I don't remember if it was Leno, Letterman, or someone else), Langella said something to the effect of, "I've had a long career, and there are some jobs I took because I needed the money, or for another reason. I did this one for my kids. But it's a performance that I've grown fond of over time." Okay, I'm wildly paraphrasing, but it gave me quite a thrill to hear that. | |
yes the 80s version of Flash was awesome, i have it on dvd, it's also filled with Queen soundtrack goodness too
how about late for dinner? as for the he-man movie, the first one was awesome, not sure how good this one will be | |
Pah food is for people who don't game enough...what are those white dots doing in front of my eyes? | |
Now all we need is Swat Cats to return | |
After watching the Nostalgia Critic's review of the first one, I'm not too eager for this new He-Man film | |
Hey, Skeletor was awesome in that movie. | |
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder, thundercats! | |
whenever I see he man these days I always think of this | |

Another Live Action He-Man Film?
By the poooowwweeerrrrr of Graaaayyyssskulllll! He-Man rides again. Maybe.
For some time now, another film featuring the overtly-masculine, sword wielding 80's cartoon icon has been tentatively in the works, but false-starts here and there have left the ripped hero's cult following wondering when they'll see him in action again. It seems Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe may be back on track, now that Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson is potentially at the helm of the second live action He-Man movie.
Citing anonymous sources this week, Latino Review reports Stevenson approached Warner Bros. and producer John Silver with a hot presentation on the in-limbo He-Man film and landed the gig as director. I'd save the celebrating for an official announcement, but this could mean the flick is closer to actual fruition.
The last time viewers were treated to a live action He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, the results were startlingly bad - in a totally awesome way (I should know: I saw it in the theater). Dolph Lundgren's likeness was spot-on with what the 1987 kid version of me always imagined a real-life He-Man would look like. Plus he wielded a sword and lasers: very cool to a seven-year-old. The movie was horrendously cheesy, even by late-80s standards. I can't wait to be bombarded by the next round of He-Man atrocities, should the second live action film every make it into the theaters. Even a straight-to-DVD release would suffice.
