News out of Hollywood this morning is that John Stevenson, the director behind last summer's Kung Fu Panda, has been signed to helm a live-action film for Warner Bros. based on that Mattel-manufactured icon of '80s action-figure silliness, He-Man. Considering that John Woo previously flirted with the project a few years back, it's probably no surprise that the perpetually shirtless, Castle Grayskull-residing hero will be returning to the big screen. Yet it's hard to understand the necessity of another cinematic He-Man adventure, as Gary Goddard's 1987 Masters of the Universe definitively captured the essence of the show (which I confess to loving as a kid ): a blend of sub-Lord of the Rings fantasy, pro wrestling-level drama, unsubtle and goofy homoeroticsm, and a variety of cheesy characters spouting cornball one-liners. Plus, Goddard's opus had Oscar-nominee Frank Langella as Skeletor! As proven by the below [spoiler-ish] clip, for pure entertainment value, it's hard to top any film whose climax features an oiled-up, scantily clad Dolph Lundgren dodging lasers, swinging across chasms, being zapped with electricity, sword-fighting Langella, and then sharing a triumphant moment with an apparent reject from Troll.
