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 Karg leads Skeletor's troops charge into Gwildor's home, he tells his men to "find the key". It is impossible for him to have known about a second cosmic key as his superiors did not even know until shortly later on.
- 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
Skeletor Steals the show!
The movie is a little outdated, however still entertaining enough. I am a little biased because of the nostalgia. What still holds up is all the Skeletor scenes. The acting is brilliant.
