    What's crazy is that the castle they are in is actually Greyskull, the castle that the Sorcress lives in. I don't know why she had so many evil looking skull motiffs all around because it really does look like it should be Skeletor's castle.

     

    Jason's comment about Skeletor looking like Jack Palace had me almost crying. The whole time I kept thinking he looked like someone else haha.

     

    The plot of the movie is fairly bland and is just covered in one monologue by Skeletor. Basically he got the key from Grilldor and used it to teleport his soldiers inside Greyskull and quickly took it over. He was going to inherit the cosmic power from the Sorceress when the Eye opened at moonrise (why it opens then isn't said). That's the basic plot. He never mentions that he needs He-man for any of this so I'm not sure why he didn't just kill him when he had him chained up.

    Cam Bert, while I love your treatment for the potential sequel, I do have a question. Do we really think Callahan is going to win the mayoral election? I thought the movie made it clear that when Reno grabbed the "pope's" sash that was going to reflect badly on him. Even more damning is his decision to run under the campaign of "Law and Order." I mean, yeah he was the Chief when the plot was thwarted, but fuck if it didn't come right down to the wire. It would be one thing if he could run and say, "You know why I'm great, because you've never even heard of the shit that threatened your safety. We had that locked down." Instead he has to say, "Hey, remember that Racial Unity thing where a bunch of people were shot and killed and Balboa Park was three seconds away from being a crater, yeah we stopped it, but just barely. In fact, we wouldn't have stopped it all if I didn't, reluctantly, take this guy off suspension. You see, none of my officers, nor myself, were capable enough investigators to go to the scene of a cop killing and do basic police work..."

    Still got my vote.

    I thought about this a lot, too. Like, it made sense in Turner and Hooch (at least, more so than here) because there was literally no one else to watch over this dog that was the only witness to the murder. Why the hell couldn't the dog go live with BMX kid (also, where the fuck are BMX kid's parents for the whole movie)? Or the other lady cop that seemed to really love this dog? Why would you stick him with someone that clearly hated the dog? What kind of city official would be like, "Yeah, you clearly hate this dog, so I'm going to put you two together in what is clearly an unsafe environment for this animal."

    Guys it's called comedy gold.....wait no I meant fucking stupid.

    This is a must. It has just enough what the fuck moments and absurd dialogue to put it in the same category as Deep Blue Sea. Just you know without the sharks. But with the Tucc so that's a win.

     

    Everything about this movie screams HDTGM. Plus I would love to hear June try and decipher one of the silliest plots yet.

    If the Director only has one name (Pitof, Catwoman) or is named Uwe Boll (In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale).

     

    Anytime a film cuts to stock footage within the first 5 minutes (bonus points if it looks like they just recorded the footage from a Discovery Channel show).

     

    The film is about a (or multiple) shark(s) and is not Jaws.

    Everyone is doing some weird voice work in this movie. Kate Beckinsale is doing a Boris and Natasha voice. The Monk is doing a scared Shaggy from Scooby Doo Voice and the Frankenstein's monster is just on the spectrum. The special effects aren't great either.

    This movie needs to be done. The plot is ridiculous. Julianne Moore plays a pervy agorophobic who at one point says she hasn't talked to people for years, but then immediately wants to go to the day of the dead festival for some reason? Sly Stallone plays it smart by dressing like a high school substitute teacher with way to many sweater vest. Banderas tries to chew as much scenery as humanly possible. And a cat is almost a plot point.

     

    It is a must for its terrible pacing and just questionable plot.
