Masters of the Universe
Introduced by Time Out New York film critic Keith Uhlich.
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
For pure, unadulterated Bwa-Ha-Haaaaa!, you can't beat—say it with me—"Frank Langella as SKELETOR!!!" There's over the top and then there's over the big top: from his ram's head staff-slamming entrance, no scenery goes unchewed in this Golan-Globus-produced fantasy—an adaptation of the toy line, not the seminal cartoon series, say the producers (well that makes it all better).
Dolph Lundgren's slab-of-beefcake He-Man and friends travel to present-day Earth to slash the budget ... I mean, stop Skeletor's nefarious plan to steal a universe-dominating cosmic key from diminutive goblin inventor Billy Barty (you again!). Masters staples like Man-at-Arms and Evil-Lyn (Meg "Look Into My Eyes" Foster) rub shoulders with a teenage Courteney Cox and Principal Strickland from Back to the Future. But this is Langella's show (he did it for his kids…awwww); not even the end credits are safe from his glorious hamming.
Director: Gary Goddard. 106mins. 1987. 35mm.
Part of the series Basic Cable Classics.
Also screening this evening at 8 pm: Legend. Buy tickets to both films and get a free PBR!
