-Pedro Sambrano This may be the best opening to a film commentary I've ever read in my life!!!
Carl Towns Ah, Cannon films... you went out of business. How sad.
Carl Towns There's the narrator. With the one scene of actual Grayskull castle. ugh oh... "the Power to be... the Masters of the Universe!"
-Pedro Sambrano That's the kind of power I want.

Carl Towns The actor who played Gwildor, Billy Barty was nominated for a Razzie for worst supporting actor in 1988. I don't like the character but come on. Its not his fault his mouth only partly moves. It's 80's make up.

Carl Towns Prior to production starting, I had added an entire sequence involving the caves beneath Grayskull where the Snakemen have come in order to help defeat Grayskull, joining with Skeletor. The heroes are dragged into the tunnels and a lot of action takes place amid the tension of them trying to escape from the caverns.-Director
Carl Towns "The best New Gods movie, IMHO, is ´Masters of the Universe´. I even corresponded with the director, who told me this was his intent, and that he had tried to get [Jack] Kirby to do the production designs, but the studio nixed it.
Carl Towns "Check it out. It requires some bending and an occasional sex change (Metron becomes an ugly dwarf, The Highfather becomes the Sorceress), but it's an amazingly close analog, otherwise. And Frank Langella's Skeletor is a dandy Darkseid!"-John Byrne, comic artist/writer
Carl Towns "As the director of Masters of the Universe, it was a pleasure to see that someone got it. Your comparison of the film to Kirby’s New Gods was not far off."-The Director
Carl Towns Brian Cronin, author of the "Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed" column, concludes that "the film itself was not intended to be literally a reworked Fourth World, although the intent WAS to make the film a tribute to Jack Kirby - just a tribute to ALL of his work, not just the
Fourth World."
Carl Towns I'm just stealing from Wiki now.
By the way, they're jumping through the gate and prepping for the upcoming battle before Skeletor uses the key.
Carl Towns I must posses all or I posses nothing-Skeletor, great philosopher of our time.

Carl Towns Mattel, the owners of He-Man, fought with the designer William Stout on various design issues. Plus the director had to juggle their rules with the directives of Cannon. That happened to be starting their descent in bankruptcy at the time.
Carl Towns Ooooh! Ribs... I usually like Teela but vegetarian Teela is a tad annoying.
Carl Towns Well, truthfully, while the actress is fine I wish they would hired a more curvaceous redhead for the part.

Carl Towns Reminder, Teela is man-At-Arms adopted daughter and her real mother is actually the Sorceress.
Carl Towns Why is it that a character named Carl is always lame in movies? Right? It sucks. Can't their be a hero named Carl? At least once? AT LEAST ONCE HOLLYWOOD!

Carl Towns Dolph Lundgren in tight short black underwear and wearing a cape. Whats so gay about that?
Carl Towns Julie Weiss, my costume designer, called me in a panic from a fitting with Dolph. He was insisting on wearing these kick boxing boots that were cut mid-lower leg. I immediately drove over to the fitting. I looked at Dolph in the short boots.
Carl Towns I told him they looked just terrific, except for the fact that they made him look rather effeminate.
Whoosh! Off came the short boots; on went the tall boots. The boots were never an issue again.
Carl Towns She-Ra was in an early draft of the film.

Carl Towns Dolph Lundgren was the first to be cast in the film and Frank Langella was the last to be cast. Stallone was offered the role of He-Man originally.
Carl Towns For the miniature shots set on earth, the special effects men at Boss Film Studios reused some buildings left over from Blade Runner (1982) and Ghost Busters (1984) to fill out the background.
Carl Towns There is a scene included that is not in the film. After the final battle, the Sorceress shows Man at Arms the ancient artifacts of Castle Grayskull and reveals one of the items as an American flag, meaning that Eternia is actually Earth centuries from now.
Carl Towns This was written out of the original script and changed, since Skeletor ultimately finds the Cosmic Key on Earth during the film. However, the alternate ending was used in the official "Masters of the Universe" comic book adaptation of the movie
Carl Towns Kevins about to save the day with some help from Gwildor. Or at least help a lot.
