This makes far more sense if you know the script was originally a DC Comics New Gods movie but they changed the names when they lost the rights. The cosmic key would have been a mother box, He-man would have been Orion, Skeletor was Darkseid, and eternia was apokolips and instead of traveling to the real worl he was destroying the planet to feed the planet apokolips just like in the comics.
You are right and if that title is on Blu-ray, I will never buy it and also, Cannon Films (Former company and bankrupted in 1993) is one of the worst companies I go through in my nostalgia world.
Speaking of movies with incorrect titles, there is actually an Avatar the Last Airbender movie coming out and they are just calling it The Last Airbender. WTF?
So let me get this straight: He Man the Master of the Universe is going to use all his inter galactic weaponry and mideval style fighting moves in the suburbs of New Jersey!?!?
With all the gay jokes in this video, I'm surpised he didn't make a joke along the lines of: 'By the power of GaySkull'. Or would that have been too easy?
I liked the "raiders of the KFC" scene. The highlights were Gwildor drinking what appears to be barbecue sauce, and Teela being grossed out because she realizes what she's eating used to be alive. The idea of a vegetarian soldier kind of amuses me.
The Jersey Devil made such a stink about this movie he ate a crew worker, but it tasted so bad he couldn't eat the cast, he had never been this upset until Jersey Shore
I can actually count how many homoerotic themes went on from 3:07 to 3:22 1. The emphasis on swords and gunplay 2. The completely unnecessary close-up of He-Man's chest at 3:09 3. The crotch zapping 4. He-Man pulls a concealed, smaller blade out of his boot 5. The phallic helmets worn by the bad guys 6. The way He-Man fights the bad guys looks less like a fight and more like a musical number
He-Man is the greatest cartoon show on earth and still love any kind of the 80's cartoons. By the way, he's isn't gay but Spongebob is and so is Patrick. Great review, NC!
heh, little catch, when he was talking about shots to the crotch, the last guy shot had Fio's death scream from Metal Slug spliced in. I love those little touches, that and the different Masters of the Universe variations, those are hillarious!
The Raul Julia "OF COURSE!!!!!" gets me every time. But this movie does have one awesome thing going for it...actually, two: 1: The AWESOME theme music. 2. James Tolkan. The final fight in the throne room is made awesome simply from seeing Principal Strickland mowing down Skeletor's wannabe Stormtroopers.
The Skeletor costume looked okay to me, but why didn't they cover his eyes. In the cartoon Skeletor didn't have eyes. Did they not have those one way cloth masks back then, y'know, like that is see through on the inside but hides the face behind the mask from the outside.
They didn't make him Orco because they didn't have the budget to have the guy floating all the time. Well, you could have still had him look like Orco, and still called him Orco. You didn't have to totally scrap the character and create a new one just because he wouldn't float.
This is back when Critic actually knew what parody is. Just compare this review to his He-Man Xmas review - there he's more narrating the piece as opposed to making non-stop jokes that take all prisoners.
"Gay" or not, I have to admit Skelator's troops in the start (with black armor and cool helmets) are somewhat cool; they at least look more intimidating than stormtroopers.
I've never seen the old version since I was born in the 90s, but I've seen the 2002 version. I really enjoyed watching that one :). But I honestly did not know that there was a movie based off of He-Man :P
i saw this movie a million times when i was a kid. I found your video out of random and you sir brought back memories! And to think I lmao to it when I was little. WOW
@3:52- 3:58, Replace "Be destroyed" with "Be immediately accused of racism for no reason," and you've described Obama's typical campaign speech to a tee.

"they look like the thundercats on the way to the rocky horror picture show" - nice one
He-Man tells his origin story, then punches you in the face.

If the second attempt at live action films fails, He-Man is truly a lost cause in live action movies.
Imagine if Joel Schumacher directed a He Man movie. That should be his next project.
He-Man: "Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword..."
I can't be the only one who thinks that's an innuendo.
the theme of this movie spunds similar to John William's Superman score
hell they even called avatar the last airbender movie the last airbender there's another crummy movie that messed with the title
With all the gay jokes in this video, I'm surpised he didn't make a joke along the lines of:
'By the power of GaySkull'. Or would that have been too easy?
I love the choice of movies you make, but one thing: it is "Man-at-Arms," not "Man-of-Arms".
I feel like punching myself. :-(
Lol.... Thundercats on their way to the Rocky Horror Picture Show
OMG.. so funny.
1. Dramatic Turns!
2. John MCCain jokes!
3. KFC thieves!
The movie's theme sounds like the Superman theme
I liked the "raiders of the KFC" scene. The highlights were Gwildor drinking what appears to be barbecue sauce, and Teela being grossed out because she realizes what she's eating used to be alive. The idea of a vegetarian soldier kind of amuses me.
IN THE NAME OF THE CHEESE SANDWICH! I HAVE THE STOMACH!!
Skeletor - The Master of Dramatic Turns
In case anyone is wondering about the 'gay' song that pops up, it's called 'It's Okay To Be Gay' by Tomboy
The Cow should recieve an emmy. His line "Moo" really shows his emotional strength as an actor.
wat movie is that "of course" clip from? ive seen it in a heap of these videos dont know wat its from
Never been to New Jersey. Is it horrible there? I come from Wisconsin, which is where that one guy said was worse than hell, which I take offense to.
what's that 'of course' scene from?
He-Man tries to negotiate for her freedom
"Let her go!"
"I don't think so"
Negoniation's over
*pew pew pew* :P
I've never seen this movie, but does it show He-Man as Adam and does he actually say "I have the power"?
*M.Bison turns his head*
*dramatic music*
-Of course!
The Jersey Devil made such a stink about this movie he ate a crew worker, but it tasted so bad he couldn't eat the cast, he had never been this upset until Jersey Shore
where in jersey was this filmed?
@Feratrox exactly, that's what I was thinking. How the hell did he do that, can someone explain that to me please.
@ECL28E
the g1 megatron voice he does actually is pretty close to his normal voice,but without all the yelling
in what years was released this movie?
Wait... didn't Skeletor want that dimensional key to travel between dimensions? So... how exactly did he send his minions to earth again?
dramatic turns.. *turns head* *DA-DAN!!!* XD
really funny......OF'COURSE!!!
@Jerraider84 He meant the suburbs IN the state of New Jersey.
What does Frank Welker sound like w/o any vocal disguising?
"Let her go."
"I don't think so."
NEGOTIATIONS OVER!
Did heman falcon punch the camera at the beginning?
I can actually count how many homoerotic themes went on from 3:07 to 3:22
1. The emphasis on swords and gunplay
2. The completely unnecessary close-up of He-Man's chest at 3:09
3. The crotch zapping
4. He-Man pulls a concealed, smaller blade out of his boot
5. The phallic helmets worn by the bad guys
6. The way He-Man fights the bad guys looks less like a fight and more like a musical number
What movies have they done?
NC..... were is your crouch? cause i dont think it's were most people keep theirs.
He-Man is the greatest cartoon show on earth and still love any kind of the 80's cartoons.
By the way, he's isn't gay but Spongebob is and
so is Patrick. Great review, NC!
@raidenkurosaki345 You got that from a Smosh video, right?
He seems to suffer from D.A.D. (Dramatic Apperance Disorder) too.
It's not mentioned here, but he makes a lotta quick apperances during the film.
the dramatic turn part is the best hahaahahaha
I know that. But does he say this in the movie?
I think there are 3 reasons John McCain is easy to make fun of.
1. He's old. 2. He's a politician. 3. He ran for President.
Why does skeletor look like voldamort?
The only scenes to watch from this movie are the ones with Frank Langella as Skeletor.
heh, little catch, when he was talking about shots to the crotch, the last guy shot had Fio's death scream from Metal Slug spliced in. I love those little touches, that and the different Masters of the Universe variations, those are hillarious!
DRAMATIC SKELETOR
The Raul Julia "OF COURSE!!!!!" gets me every time.
But this movie does have one awesome thing going for it...actually, two:
1: The AWESOME theme music.
2. James Tolkan.
The final fight in the throne room is made awesome simply from seeing Principal Strickland mowing down Skeletor's wannabe Stormtroopers.
It's a pity NC didn't credit Frank Langella's portrayal of Skeletor. He was the Raul Julia of this film. The film was bad, but he was awesome.
The cow is the best actor in the movie? I'd love to see that in "Rocky IV".
Rocky loves to beat his meat... ;-)
Another thing, Where the hell is Kringer?
The Skeletor costume looked okay to me, but why didn't they cover his eyes. In the cartoon Skeletor didn't have eyes. Did they not have those one way cloth masks back then, y'know, like that is see through on the inside but hides the face behind the mask from the outside.
*group finds cow*
NC: "Oh look! It's the best actor in the movie!"
X fucking D!
@Victus131 Frank Langella was Skeletor? Man I would've never have guessed that
Courtney Cox? What were you thinking?
What, no Orko?!
Dolph Lundgren is actually Swedish and as far as I'm concerned if any state needs to be blown off the map, it's New Jersey.
4:18
You were right about one thing, master. The negotiations were short.
But do you have the remote?
@jello2jedi the Critic first coined it when he reviewed the Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter movies, since then everybody on the website uses it :)
They didn't make him Orco because they didn't have the budget to have the guy floating all the time. Well, you could have still had him look like Orco, and still called him Orco. You didn't have to totally scrap the character and create a new one just because he wouldn't float.
If Dolph Lungrend plays Duke Nukem, I recommend Bruce Campbell to do the voice
is that frank welker voicing skeletor?!
he sure sounds like megatron
@barulez seriously your saying a butch guy running round in a loin cloth isn't gay
This is back when Critic actually knew what parody is. Just compare this review to his He-Man Xmas review - there he's more narrating the piece as opposed to making non-stop jokes that take all prisoners.
but the character he plays in rocky IV is russian, hence why he said the russian guy from rocky IV.
"Gay" or not, I have to admit Skelator's troops in the start (with black armor and cool helmets) are somewhat cool; they at least look more intimidating than stormtroopers.
3:46 xD this always cracks me up
I've never seen the old version since I was born in the 90s, but I've seen the 2002 version. I really enjoyed watching that one :). But I honestly did not know that there was a movie based off of He-Man :P
3:26 - 'Dude, did he just zap that guy in a crotch?'
Uhhmm... I don't see that point to me.
Hey the dramatic turn joke was damn funny keep up the good work man
3:10 was the funniest part of the review.
The worst about this movie is there is no HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA
01:28, wtf? The Emperor?
thank you huonx for the info and since you said James Cameron is directing, I bet it is going to be a good film since he made Terminator's 1 & 2.
Out of the locations for He Man, he ends up in....New Jersey? My sympathies.
i saw this movie a million times when i was a kid. I found your video out of random and you sir brought back memories! And to think I lmao to it when I was little. WOW
It's always a good sign when the animals are the best actors, right?
I bet that if Wildorf had been called Orcho, NC would have complained Orcho doesn´t look like the one in the show.
38 people haven't seen Dolph Lundgren sing Elvis Presley.
Thundercats on the way to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
That's hilarious.
Crotchshots? They are clearly hitting the stomachs! Well it's worth it for the jokes I suppose.
Some of the best shows/movies ever made can have countless jokes upon jokes made about them. You don't have to dislike them to do that.
I keep on laughing out loud at every Street Fighter reference, You guest it, Take over the world. OF COURSE!!!!!
i gotta admit, this guy makes me laugh XD
and that's kind of a catchy slogan, "i remember them so you don't have to"
5:31 HE-MAN and the RAIDERS of the KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN!
Dosen´t he know that Dolph Lungren is from Sweden.
Which I suppose is supposed to be an a-
...
Bad cut-off.
Speaking of BTTF, Strickland at 4:55!
Thats a like, the McCain jokes deserve!
6:22
Dramatic Chipm-- i mean Skeletor!
I figgin' loved this movie! It's always been one of my favourite movies since childhood.
@Jman92854 Nice point, i agree totally that the critic should take what is givin and make fun of the obvious, hilarious, but insulting
Young Courtney Cox....mmmm.....
@3:52- 3:58, Replace "Be destroyed" with "Be immediately accused of racism for no reason," and you've described Obama's typical campaign speech to a tee.
@hopeberry29
Or in Kazaam's case, the breakfast.
