Frank Langella is absolutely magnificent. He doesn't play it for camp, he goes straight on full villain, turning Skeletor from a cartoon joke into a truly terrifying villain and you can tell he's loving it. Also for 1987, that is a DAMN good makeup job and he spoke on how it helped him vanish into the role. "Give us one more chance..." "I am not in a giving vein this day."

[@megatronjenkins2473]

Best part of this movie, and it's not even CLOSE!!! I love him as Skelly!

[@bigfest6498]

KNEEEEL!!!

[@leovalverde1508]

Langella did a two-part episode of ST: Deep Space Nine because his kids loved the show.

[@xarabas]

Patron called Ginger Snaps? You should definitely review that movie next, it is a blast

[@BashayG7175]

As a kid who was born in the 80s and who had every single He-Man toy this movie meant the world to me when it came out.

[@Mkpryor12]

Love the fact that Skeletor’s hat grew with more power.

[@finnmeister]

This flick may not have had the cash to give us what we wanted, but it's an absolute hoot. Loved it when I was ten, love it now.

[@dannicasey1548]

Still better than the Kevin Smith remakes.

[@michaelk8860]

Fun facts that you may not know: Billy Barty: he actor that played Gwildor (sp?) also played the old wizard High Aldwin in Willow, Screwball in one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies Legend, and was Noodles the camera man in one of my All-Time Favorite Top 10 movies, UHF. The same actor that plays the cop was also Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future films and the captain in Top Gun.

[@Anynom]

Oh on the bit of the kid winning the contest, I think rules said it had to be non-speaking as one line qualified him for a SAG card and Cannon didn't want to pay extra cost on that.

[@gantz22ify]

Good video! I do have to say that the director of the film tried his best to make a good film, but Cannon shot him in the foot every step of the way, to the point that he had to pay for the final sword fight out of his own pocket.

[@alanmike6883]

Indeed

[@michaelmurphy2786]

My favourite parts were a) He-Man shooting people, and b) Frank Langella in general

[@alanmike6883]

Red. I have NO SHAME to say that I love this movie because even though it shouldn't work and almost everything goes, you still can't help but watch it and smile and laugh. And Langella as skelletor is frickimg awesome. You can tell frank enjoyed it 😊😊😊😊

[@dredd1981]

Agree. It's a movie made with enough competence that you can like it, and enough incompetence that you can love it. And I love it....even got myself a stainless steel & bronze full size replica power sword a couple of years ago....probably not my wisest purchase but it's mine and it's awesome!

[@JamesDarcon2007]

I feel like anytime an actor gets to be Unapologetically evil, They go all in

[@W7Mike5150]

An afternoon of Lieutenant Tom Paris screwing around in the holodeck actually...

[@OldSchoolCurt]

David Bowie joke was on point!

[@j.tgrooms]

This movie was a blast to watch. DOPLH HAS THE POWER!!

[@anthonyp4209]

This channel is a nostalgia trip down my childhood... Love it

[@loconeo1660]

just today, I stood in front of the original costume prop worn by Dolph and you release this 2 hours later... coincidence?

[@brycestrife5605]

Good mornin'!

[@Rin-bi1st]

Good morning friend. Good to see you here.

[@charlesrense5199]

When I was a kid, this was my first so-bad-its-good movie.

[@matthewvolb94]

Gwildor was the town's main wizard in Willow. That's for those who recognized his voice.

[@ProBreakers]

I loved he-man as a kid. I remember watching this Christmas morning in 1987 as I opened my stocking.

[@mrbubbles8743]

The first movie I watched as a kid that I would fast forward the end credits to see the after movie scene of skeletor actually still being alive.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Here's trivia about the after credits scene: The after credits scene which Skeletor is in the chasm beneath Castle Grayskull was unscripted and it was added in by director Gary Goddard. Gary Goddard instructed BOSS Studios to prepare a tank of pink liquid and Frank Langella in makeup and costume was brought over to the tank of pink liquid. Gary Goddard told Frank Langella what he was to do and that he was to get in it and when the camera started rolling, he was to surface, look back at the camera and say the line "I'll Be Back!". Frank Langella agreed to do it and it was done in 1 take and that take was used in the movie.

[@cl6322]

Frank Langella played Skeletor? All these years I thought that was Jack Palance lol

[@Grayskull77]

This is definitely a guilty pleasure flick for me. I remember being disappointed as a kid when this came out, but it's what we got. I kinda grown to enjoy it for what it is, I'm sure nostalgia is a huge part of it.

[@BobBobSquared]

I loved that movie when I was a kid. Had all the toys, castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain. Lol. Love your channel.

[@megatronjenkins2473]

I woke up to both playsets and assigned figures on Christmas, didn't open presents FOR TWENTY MINUTES!!!

[@TalentCaldwell]

🤓 Another Fun Fact: This movie’s box office failure lead to the creation of CYBORG with JCVD which repurposed costumes and sets intended for the MASTERS sequel.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

“How accurate?” “Within a parsec eon.” No Star Wars reference there. Lol. Thanks for another hilarious review.

[@lukefitz1492]

The bald guy is the principal from back to the Future.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Masters of the Universe is a great movie. Dolph Lundgren was the natural choice for He-Man and Frank Langella was the best thing about the movie and he gave a brilliant performance as Skeletor.

[@RAE10182504]

Oh my God. What a way to spend my Saturday watching the funniest man on KZbin well working.

[@frankthespank]

The guy that plays Courtney Cox’s boyfriend was a main cast member on the TV show “Star Trek: Voyager”, he played the part of “Lieutenant Tom Paris”. ……he bangs a half Klingon, half Latina chick on the show too. 🤓

[@thatkidrich]

You missed the end scene after the credits. Skeletor pops up out of the water saying "I'll be back!!"

[@Mkpryor12]

Now you have to do the 89 Dolph Punisher movie lol fun times in the 90’s

[@samsez3707]

I think this was the first movie i saw at the theater 🙌✨🖤

[@RedEyeReviews]

That's an amazing first movie

[@Poppawoody420]

Belive it or not, I own this movie on blu-ray. Saw it in theaters when I was kid. Loved it.

[@hoodieinfestation]

Skeletor in this is too good for the rest of this movie for sure to an absurd degree.

[@timj3788]

I always look forward to your uploads and save them for when I can really enjoy them. It's almost like having a friend.

[@jamesbounds]

The Skeletor costume still holds up today. It's very well made.

[@jamespalmer5679]

I just literally came across your page like 30mins ago. You earned a subscriber my friend. Keep grinding

[@jamespalmer5679]

@10:47 My boy skelly was walking his AZZ off. Lol

[@frankcolumbo4481]

Skeletor bears an uncanny resemblance to Jack Palance.

[@nilocnaughton]

Great stuff! thanks again Red Eye. i was aware and appreciated your content before but i guess i wasn't subscribed. now i am =) can't wait for the next upload. keep on keeping on brother.

[@ObSoLeeT666]

@9:45 that scene reminds me of Highlander 2 The Quickening, talk about a movie that has to be talked about

[@zoneblitz]

Red Eye Reviews: Not a cure for depression, but a hell of a nice distraction.

[@deskish3930]

imagine winning a contest to be in a movie only for your face to be obscured.

[@chriswilson3126]

Another one of my faves and other great review. Well done again redeye.

[@tohpingtiang4878]

And the cosmic KEY! Can knit a wicked sweater. And he became the principal in back to the future.

[@sadpacman3290]

Red Eye, good morning and thanks for the great video!

[@Pincalo]

I needed this today. THANKS RR!

[@cordaxg6261]

Kudos on always bringing fun facts into the reviews. The one about the pig boy especially ! Keep up the good work ! Cheers

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thanks friend! So glad you liked it

[@cordaxg6261]

@@RedEyeReviews very much so buddy!

[@leovalverde1508]

Robbie Duncan McNeil played Tom Paris in all seven seasons of ST: Voyager. Langella and Meg Foster guest starred in ST: Deep Space Nine.

[@jayward8237]

I have the power! Of movie reviews!

[@jtmplmbr4465]

One of my all time favorite movies!!

[@pork-chopexpress991]

Awesome, thanks for the review, I’m not sure why but I like this weird movie

[@10191927]

The make up job felt incomplete, like it was a prototype that wasn’t ready for the big screen but Franks performance is what sells this movie.

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

Aww all that Cox love and no Tom Paris mention?

[@foxandbarrettshow6916]

Thank you, my comment would have been a 80 minute video response. Nothing but Tom Paris love and I'd have dedicated 40 minutes of that love to this fine movie . Sadly my first comment in my scrolling was this one. Perfect Tom Paris love already given. He had a very unusual career and somehow it all started in canons goofy cornball B flick destined for chastisement

[@crimsonvampyre602]

I don't know if you know or not but there's an after credits stinger scene at the very end of this movie. It's hilarious

[@tacoborg7088]

I'm starting to think Redeye won that pigboy contest. Red knowing about the contest then saying he should of had lines lol another awesome review my man

[@alexpowers5117]

Now I want to see a masters of the universe pitch meeting

[@jimitaco1303]

5:50 He kinda looks like if someone disguised a troll doll as Gary Oldman as Dracula

[@peternystrom921]

Loooooooove this movie with a Passion. Even today at 41 year old. Hope they make a great amazing remake.

[@laszloeszik5033]

Ah this movie made me remember to two movies: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Yes Star Wars, yes, ewoks, yes, for children, yes they absolutely lovely and B movies at the same time.

[@TheBrewjo]

Tom Paris getting all the girls haha.

[@bignick47331]

I loved he-man as a kid all this time I had no idea it was dolph lundgren 😂

[@rhetteverette2406]

I really wanted to see this in the theater as a kid. But at the time drivein’s closed down and my parents didn’t take us to muliplex’s much cuz it was expensive and money was short. We waited for it to hit video and really liked it even though the switch out of earth in place of eternia plot device.

[@DeadSexyAdamCheney]

Being an 80s baby I got lots of prince Adam toys as a youngster.

[@indianastones6032]

I always see Tom Paris from star trek voyager and Monica from friends when I see the earth couple

[@superfuss1984]

The Lack of Knowledge about the Size Difference between Universe & Galaxy is on of Holywood biggest Slips.... Dolph is Still Great anyway! ☺️

[@11Salda]

I love this movie I will never forget this movie my grandma and my mom took my brother and I to the drive in

[@alanmike6883]

👍👍

[@theenchiladakid1866]

Oh snap it's tom paris and principal strickland in some kind of time travel madness

[@josephcurran1983]

If you had transposed the order of words it would have been yoda, "Bask in its stank we will ".

[@SalusFuturistics]

Wasn't the Boy who won a Contest, a huge Skeletor Fan, much more than He-Man, and there's a Photo of him on Set, with Skeletor in full Costume?

[@k.p.loveraft775]

Awesome... This movie is so nostalgic because it was one of the few action movies I had on video when I was a small kid. I remember I always watched it if I was sick. That was awesome, not having to go to school but watch He-Man instead! Didn't know the Pig Boy story. But I always thought that character would make a cool action figure.

[@loveadustup4440]

Still watch it now 😁 Loved it as a kid, watched a few reviews since and I can understand why ppl didnt like it. Name changes, filmed primarily on earth instead of the universe, but still a great watch

[@joshleyva2249]

The cop dude stayed because Earth is filled with nothing but slackers!!!

[@scottwilson3741]

Speaking of Star Wars parallels did u also notice that the good guy lasers were blue & green while there bad guy lasers were red?

[@JoeR203]

So the principal from Back To The Future became a cop?

[@jacobwebb2623]

"Rectum destroyer" BEST LINE I HEARD!

[@foxmolnar6258]

they seem to have reused the Road Warrior soundtrack in that scene showing Julie running down the alley.

[@tylerlacor8116]

You’ll get it 50,00, you’ll get to 500,000 make my words!

[@hectorrocha8626]

Great video

[@JustJames83]

Mr Strickland thinks Skeletor is a slacker

[@concernedhomosapien9807]

Music, in creation myths, fantasy, even in a way in string theory is equated with creation or instant travel or plane shifting (folding time and space)

[@oliverkloshophdndrecords50]

I unironicly love this movie And this RedEye review is one of my all-time favorites as well. But there's not a single review by RedEye that I dont love

[@markireland1162]

while not a perfect movie by any means,it's not as bad as it's reputation seems to be. it is cheesy yet entertaining

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

I had my own adventure sleeping on the hills right up the street right up from the downtown they filmed the end scene(Whittier,CA). I chose a log to stand and take a leak off and realized a damn rattlesnake was right underneath and this kid me and my road dawg met went in on the thing with said log and proceeded to cut it up with my knife, still upset I left the rattle(d'Oh!), Suddenly they ditched us and eventually we fell asleep where I swear I saw a mountain lion cruising directly across from our hill at like 2am. Good times🤘😎

[@powerbomb4833]

Thank you so much for this recap! Flash Gordon should be next 🙏
