80's Movie Weekend

During the summer of 1987 I took my younger cousin to see this flick at a local movie theater in Norman, Oklahoma. At the time I wasn't too disappointed. The real-life movie is based upon the wildly popular cartoon series of the same name with all of the usual suspects involved - Skeletor, Man-At-Arms, Teela, Blade, Beastman, and of course He-Man, Master of the Universe. The movie also stars a young Courtney Cox. It's "Masters of the Universe"... the trailer... Masters of the Universe Directed by Gary Goddard[1] Produced by Edward R.
