Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFrank Langella went on record in an interview stating that playing Skeletor was one of his favorite roles. His young son was a huge fan and was running around the house shouting "By the power of Grayskull," so he took the role for him. He wrote some of his own lines, like: "Tell me about the loneliness of good, He-Man. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"
- GoofsWhen Karg leads Skeletor's troops charge into Gwildor's home, he tells his men to "find the key". It is impossible for him to have known about a second cosmic key as his superiors did not even know until shortly later on.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene after the closing credits have ended: Skeletor pops up from the waters of the pit he was thrown in, and says "I'll be back!"
- Alternate versionsSome syndicated prints of the film omit the post-credits scene.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993)

Featured review
I have to say that when i saw it i loved it and i still do, just because it is He-Man. The Film is Average at best, and i think most people realise that, but it has some plus points. Dolph lundgren was right as far as the physical side went, but i think he should have taken about 6 billion more acting lessons. The Whole Eart thing was thing that ruined the film. Yeah so its nice to think that Earth in this Universe is playing a role in a cataclysmic struggle between good and evil, but i just want to know why nobody managed to see Skeletor's Army March through a massive Purple glowing portal in the middle of a suburb somewhere. More of Eternia would have been much better, and the set for Greyskull was pretty cool.Most of the acting was pretty average, but Langella stands out head and shoulders, despite the moving cheekbones. Everything about him is evil, and Langella's dominant voice, and in some cases over acting show Skeletor how he should have been, because i look back at the cartoon and Skeletor just gets a bit annoying with his whiny cackling voice. I just hope that with the resurrection of He Man now, if the cartoon is successful, they should give a film another shot.
