History Film / MastersOfTheUniverse

* MasterOfIllusion: Evil-Lyn can trun into just about anyone she wants with this power, she used it twice in the film. Once on Gwildor (off screen) and again on Julie.

A 1987 film based upon ''WesternAnimation/{{He-Man and the Masters of the Universe}}''. The movie features Skeletor's acquiring a teleportation device from an eccentric inventor, which gives him an edge in the war. Eventually the heroes find an identical device and use it to escape capture, accidentally traveling to a distant planet -- Earth. Skeletor is not far behind. Also starring in the movie was Frank Langella as Skeletor, Meg Foster as Evil-Lyn and a young [[Series/{{Friends}} Courteney Cox]] and [[StarTrekVoyager Robert Duncan McNeill]] as teenage sweethearts caught up in the events.

** He-Man is also hammy but compared to Skeletor, he is just a slice of ham to his entire mound.

* TheFiveManBand:

** TagalongKids: Kevin and Julie (who doubles as a [[TheChick Chick]].

* BigEntrance: He-Man, when he first arrives on earth. Skeletor and his army made a pretty big entrance themsleves when they first arrived on the scene.

* LargeHam/ EvilIsHammy: Skeletor down to the core.

* WizardsFromOuterSpace: Or... "Aliens from Eternia".

* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Kevin and Julie, to normal earth teens don't like the idea of being chased around and nearly killed just because they happend to find the {{MacGuffin}} that everybody wants. Heck Kevin even tried to [[RefusalOfTheCall refuse the call]]!

* TreacherousSpiritChase: In the movie, Julie immediately accepts her dead mother turning in the middle of a siege by magic aliens from another dimension to lure her out the back door of the shop in which she and her friends are holed up defending a powerful alien artifact. Moments later, she accepts that her dead mother needs her to hand over said artifact. Needless to say, it's not really her dead mother.

* LightIsNotGood: Skeletor when he absorbs the power of the Great Eye

* IdiotBall: In the live action film, Evil-Lyn tricks Julie into handing her the Cosmic Key by disguising herself as Julie's dead mother. Not once does Julie question how her mother is alive, where her father could be, or why her mother would want the Cosmic Key.

* CanonForeigner: TheMovie used only the most immediate characters fo the show, He-Man, Duncan (Man-At-Arms), Teela and the Sorceress are the only heroes with a sidekick being a hairy gremlin called Gwildor (who vaguely fills out Orko's role in being comic relief, although he is also a MadScientist who is responsible for the plot). Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Beast Man are the only villains with a group of improvized minions to fill out his ranks, in particular an eyepatch-wearing bald swordsman named Blade who sort of fills the role of TheDragon. They both got action figures in the toyline, but no attempt has ever been made to integrate them into any main canon.
