He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was one of my favorite toys and cartoons back in the 1980s, and a live-action movie was made in 1987 that I was lucky enough to have enjoyed as a kid. I freakin’ loved that flick! As a nine-year-old, I couldn’t have asked for anything more epic. Unfortunately, the older I got the more ridiculous and stupid this movie became. Regardless of the fact that it’s a poorly made adaptation, the kid in me still loves the hell out of it. For this week's Fun Facts list I decided to revisit the movie and list twenty things that you might not know about it. There's a lot of great stuff here that I previously didn't know about.

The actor who played Blade, Anthony De Longis , trained Dolph Lundgren to use a sword, and he choreograph the sword fight between He-Man and Blade as well as the climatic duel between He-Man and Skeletor. Skeletor was played by Frank Langella in the film, but during the final fight De Longis stepped into the role.

Skeletor was played by in the film, but during the final fight De Longis stepped into the role. De Longis said that due to the 50-plus pound weight of his Blade suit, when he would remove his boots, he would have to pour out his sweat at the end of every day he was shooting the movie.
