Nomination Year: 1995

SYNOPSIS: From the planet Eternia they come, the greatest heroes the universe has ever known: He-Man, Strongest Man in the Universe; Man-at-Arms, his faithful teacher and weaponsmaster; Teela, Man-at-Arms' daughter; and Orko, strange wizard-dwarf from another dimension. He-Man and his companions must locate the Cosmic Key, which has fallen to Earth, before the evil Skeletor and his minions can lay their hands on it. The Cosmic Key holds ultimate power to anyone who can unlock its musical secrets. While on Earth, He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) encounters a pretty high school student (a chubby pre-Friends Courtney Cox) who helps him against Skeletor.

Best One-Liner

No One Will Recognize Us Courtney's boyfriend just got his butt kicked by the villains and he's understandably upset when Courtney brings in more weirdos for him to meet. She introduces him to He-Man, Man-at-Arms, and Teela. Just then, Orko, the bizzare little dwarf (Billy Barty), waddles up wearing a dress, a flouncy hat, and all sorts of women's frou-frou. Orko: "Look! Native garb! If we dress like this, no one will recognize us!" Boyfriend (pointing at Orko): "What the hell is THAT?!" Orko (triumphantly to friends): "See?"

Worst Acting
I Prefer My Movies Like My Tuna: Without "Dolph In" Dolph Lundgren sounded like he had marbles in his mouth throughout the whole film. A particularly comical scene (with Courney Cox) was where he stumbles through the lines: "Uh, it's about dis long. And it's got lights on it." I *hope* he's describing the Cosmic Key.
