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 He-Man hangs upside down while pursued by Skeletor's Air Centurion, his hair does not hang down. However, since he's "hanging from" an anti-gravity platform, on which he's standing, from his point of view he's standing the right side up. If his hair would fall down (the real down), then his entire body would follow, but that does not happen. Apparently, that's how those anti-gravity platforms work.
- 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
This bad lad turned up on Prime and brought me way back to Enternia.
Could not believe it's a 5.4!! This movie is pure gold.
The soundtrack is awesome.
Dolph is Dolph like in every movie.
Lubic should have been in the movie more, would have been an 8 if that was the case.
The movie bombed due to the budget. I had this bad lad on VHS and watched it well over a 100 times.
It's there with the goodies, Killer Klowns, Big Trouble In Little china.
You either love the full on 80s flicks that age great in time or you bring it down. Some great memories here and most important it's a good movie even in May 2024.
Forget the 5 it's a 7 You have the POWER.
