So is all the Stormtrooper armor clanking from the actual suits or is it foley? 🤔

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

This Skeletor is less inspirational than ours. #Monsterdon

I guess I don't know how they could've made skeletor's makeup not look stupid

#monsterdon

The 80s hair is strong in He-Man #monsterdon

More like the Cosmic Keytar!

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse #⚔️

#Monsterdon people have horrible names in the he-man universe

"man at arms"

"sorceress"

these aren't names they're job descriptions

It must be hot there because everyone is glistening.
#Monsterdon

Looks like she's wearing a chastity thong. #monsterdon

"Be quiet" as they jump on marble with heels. #monsterdon

What if Ogra from Dark Crystal was a Hobbit?

#Monsterdon

There was a time before this locksmith even had to lock doors. Now he lives behind the vault door of a safe and has a secret tunnel to escape out the back. #Monsterdon

“I remember the days we didn’t have to lock our doors” Aww, he’s like my grandpa!

No, grandpa, you can’t just leave your car keys in the car! #Monsterdon

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow that's what I thought, "skin of a balloon"

#monsterdon #Cosmology

"Ionize!"

Activate the Dyson fan! #Monsterdon

Wait a minute, that spindle fork thing was used in Arcane.
#Monsterdon

Teela uniforms seens too sexual.
#monsterdon

Really not that hidden of a door
#monsterdon

Why are the people all shiny and covered in oil?

#Monsterdon

I guess this is what you do when you don't have the special effects budget for Orko.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Boy, I hope we get to see Fisto do some fisting in this fine family film.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

My that's quite the #McGuffin to start off with. very fancy

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

And that guy was straight out of the "I run the computer on the Death Star"... rofl

#monsterdon

Wait, these tones are from Encounters of the Third kind?

Teleportation via tuning forks is sure, why not, though.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Orko refused to be involved in this film

#monsterdon

This is the weirdest movie. And not just because He-Man using a sword looks like an afterthought. So uncomfortable.

#Monsterdon

"Easy Teela, no need for racial slurs...."

#monsterdon

"...because of this ... the Thermos 5000!"

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse #⚔️

there’s laser guns and swords weird gnomes and a talking skull guy thank the sorceress it’s #Monsterdon

🌌 MASTERS OF THE TRIVIA 🌌

🎥 Sustainable Hollywood...Re-use / Recycle
(Low Budget Film School)

There are miniature shots for some earth scenes. The special effects team reused some buildings left over from Blade Runner (1982) and Ghostbusters (1984) to fill out the background.

So, y'all might be wondering why in the hell Gwildor isn't Orko. Turns out the answer is simple.

As Tom Paris will later appear in this film, we can deduce this entire film is one of his holodeck programs.

Be thankful he isn't Captain Proton.

#monsterdon

@jonny I think you posted that at the last possible moment before it stopped being true (well, a little)

#Monsterdon

How did Skeletor achieve this crushing victory? That would have been a fun movie, I'll bet.

#monsterdon

Oh it is Gwildor of Thenor of Mrebror.

#Monsterdon

Just when you think Thank God there's no Orko this guy shows up. #monsterdon

SKELETOR NEEDS A STARGATE #monsterdon

Dolph, you don't have to deflect the shots that weren't going to hit you. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon why does a locksmith want to return to a time when no-one locked their doors?

"Greyskull is ours."
"NO! Mine. NYEH!"
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

Okay for all the younguns. This movie was an ad for toys that none of these characters look like. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

those are some RAINBOW titles. #monsterdon

@melioristicmarie Conan the Starbarian #monsterdon

Okay, but Conan vs Ralph McQuirre stormtroopers is a cool aesthetic

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Never did really jive with the semi-sci fi angle. Fantasy or sci-fi, pick one :/ #Monsterdon

Dolph is made out of that 87% lean ground beef you see at the supermarket #monsterdon

The bad guy is so styling that he wears a brooch on the BACK of his cloak as well as the front.
#Monsterdon

He-Man is totally a Jedi.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

Well at least the action is awful. #Monsterdon

nipple-d bipple-e tittily-do

i have a half-clothed torso for you

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

OMG they’re on Zeist. #monsterdon

They should've made Dolph Lundgren get the He-Man haircut

#Monsterdon

a whole army of darth vaders #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon dolph!

Dolph! He is He-Man! #monsterdon

🌌 MASTERS OF THE TRIVIA 🌌

Meg Foster is probably an alien. Her eyes are naturally blue/grey and with tiny pupils.
She is often cast in scifi movies because of her eyes. She says she brings her own free special effect with her.

So the bad guys have won. Short movie. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

I am loving the set but especially the costumes. 😍
#Monsterdon

how many decades have I had this image saved on my computer

at last I can use it for something

#monsterdon

Nice evil lair better than Castle skeleader or whatever he had in the cartoon

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

You get a Darth Vader and you get a Darth Vader and you get a…. #monsterdon

Gonna start demanding everyone call me Sketchy-Jen. Not evil, just sketchy.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

How did George Lucas not sue these people?

#Monsterdon

Taste the rainbow and rule the Universe.
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

We had all these helmets left over from the Death Star.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse(1987)

"Hello foooools!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i don't think this walking stick is actually helping him walk

liking Skeletors throne room.....

#monsterdon

"We have Holst at home"

#Monsterdon

Stormtroopers? What are they doing here? #Monsterdon

Darth Skeletor!

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse #⚔️

The opening titles of this #Monsterdon have a very big-budget-b-movie vibe it's GREAT

Hell yeah matte paintings!
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

Shhh, don't tell Lucas either.

#monsterdon

I hope Battle Cat is in the flick

#mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

...and Christina Pickles as Dilly the Waif. #Monsterdon

Coffee time. This one looks like a doozy. #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

Not the Superman theme! Legally distinct! #monsterdon

The power to be a 🌈 !

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

WOW, these credits. EIGHTIES, you say!

SUCH RAINBOW

#Monsterdon

Castle Greyskull looks huge. The Sorceress should rent parts out to help the housing crisis #Monsterdon

Matte paintings hell yeah #Monsterdon

Wait? It’s Superman? #Monsterdon

i blame this thing for every wall street journal fuckhead adopting this slogan

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

What in the world was with those Windows Movie Maker-ass opening credits. #monsterdon

Oh no, that's not the Superman theme or anything. Shhh. And don't tell John Williams, either.

#monsterdon

Let's go!! #Monsterdon

Cannon! Making dreams reality since... I don't know when..
#Monsterdon

shit, i forgot my second monitor. how will i type my "i'm dying of nostalgia" comments now??? #monsterdon

Hey #monsterdon folk - if you watched on Tubi, how was it vs. all them Super Bowl viewers? Any problems? Just curious.

You know, that movie was hitting all the notes for a Tokusatsu production - with the Kaijin Skeletor and his henchmen - well before most American audiences would have recognized it.

Or, it's just the sleepy talking. Feel free to discuss.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse(1987)

Things I now know: Skeletor is King Randor's bastard half-brother (from an "unknown mother" and the previous king). #Monsterdon

@apLundell @YsengrinWolf @Configures

@brooke #Monsterdon

@LingLass @Taweret

Same! The dude had seen it in the theatres but I had carefully avoided the whole franchise. This was a fun movie to watch together.

Thank for hosting, Tawaret - and thanks to @Cherizilla for the bingo and @JoeWynne for the truly excellent trivia.

Thanks to all the #Monsterdonians for making it a good old time

#Monsterdon 💪 🪐 🌌 💀 😱

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Masters of the Universe (1987). Be warned that you'll get an eyeful of Dolph Lungren's nipples.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

...Did we ever figure out if the cow was okay? #Monsterdon

This was honestly the most fun I've had. Thank you, #Monsterdon, for making my night!

@RamenCatholic @r343l OMG! Jared Leto as Skeletor!

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne
The bluray has a director commentary.

He says Skeletor's palace thrown room was actually built on 2 connected sound stages. Also, the first few scenes in the movie where He-Man frees Gwildor are the last ones shot when they were crunched for money.
#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

@RamenCatholic Right? Not at all good. But so very pleasant 😀 #Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic I'm old enough to have watched Steele when it first aired, and I very much remember getting to second season and being all "wait why does this theme song sound familiar HEEEEEEEEEY". :D #Monsterdon
