Masters of the Universe (1987)
Not bad story but not following the norm of the original animation
I feel this would have been better if more funding was available and it kept to the stories of the original animations with more magic. Although not following regular story line this film showed the rivalry between He-man (Dulph Lundren) who defends the secrets of Castle Greyskull and the protect the planet Eternia and Skeletor (Frank Langella) who tries to control all things including the Castle Greyskull. The story starts on there home planet of Eternia but ends up on earth due to the cosmic key which a local inventor designed to transport anywhere in the universe, but was stolen and used to get into Castle Greyskull and capture the guardian the sorceress this is where the battle begins. After recapturing the cosmic key Gweldor ended up having to open a portal door to escape Skeletor and his warriors. They ended up on earth but lost the key so they set out to finding the key. But Skeletor used a second key to follow. Two earthlings found the key and this is how Skeletor located the planet. They find the key had been taken to a music shop this is where the first battle on earth was. Evelyn disguised as the mother of the earthling steals the key back. Then He-man is captured to save the rest. The rest end up using the damaged key with a keyboard to get the required notes to get back home. This leads to the final battle between He-man and Skeletor, this is where Skeletor falls down one of the pits within the castle. The Sorceress is freed from the ageing spell then helps the earthlings back home.
Up the Creek (1984)
Comedy adventure with good all round stunts involve
This is a story about students who were bottom of the league on every event that the college took part in.
It shows of the challenge four students who were under achievers within the college, being put into a raft race to try and break the trend set by previous years. It also shows the lengths each of the other colleges would go to to win the raft race, with rockets and bombs and the course of the river being altered.
It is a comedy you would like to watch again and again. The characters are portrayed well by the actors, and the story involved can show some of the everyday events that can happen in any rivalry situation.
