Overview
When the evil Skeletor finds a mysterious power called the Cosmic Key, he becomes nearly invincible, seizing Castle Grayskull and the surrounding city. The Sorceress is now Skeletor’s prisoner and he begins to drain her life-force as he waits for the moon of Eternia to align with the Great Eye of the Universe which will bestow god-like power upon him. However, courageous warrior He-Man locates the locksmith inventor Gwildor, who created the Key and has another version of it. During a battle, one of the Keys is transported to Earth, where it is found by teenagers Julie and Kevin. Now, both He-Man and Skeletor’s forces arrive on Earth searching for the potent weapon.

Viewing Notes
So laughably terrible but not very laugh-out-loud funny. Lundgren looks like a frat guys who’s seven years into his four year college, half out of it on qualludes.
Langella is great as Skeletor and his performance is pretty fun to watch. Meg Foster is underutilized, which is a shame because I really like her. In fact, I think I’ll start a Meg Foster project.
