Now, don’t get us wrong, there’s no doubting the fact that this movie was absolutely terrible, but it was based upon such an iconic 1980s franchise that you’d think it would have been a guaranteed hit (and it has become something of a cult classic). However, 1987’s Masters of the Universe actually bombed in a big way.

Starring Dolph Lundgren in the lead role as He-Man – the star of the brilliant Filmation cartoon on which this movie was based – and with support from Frank Langella as Skeletor and Courtney Cox in one of her earliest roles, Masters of the Universe cost $22 million to make and made just $17.3 million at the global box office.
