Via Shallow Rave.

Instead we have here pretty much similar group called Vocoder, which is also from Spain. Italo-Disco from Spain? Yes, perhaps a little more towards electro/synth-pop. Not much more information available besides what is said in their myspace profile. They did couple of songs and disappeared as did many other italo/electro acts in the 80s. (The songs in their myspace are available for download if you log in! Tip.)
Re-press needed. Clone Classic Cuts perhaps?

This video is fun. Ingenuous and naive fun.

I have selected couple of my personal favorite episodes here. Second season has been made also but only three episodes have been fansubbed so far. I haven’t read the manga though. Prepare yourself for random and absurd experience.

Some of the gags go way beyond understanding mostly because you need to know Japanese culture (okay there are some translators notes but you won’t have time to read them).

The director of the series (Akitaro Daichi) is famous for directing similar kind of shows like Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san (which is also available at YouTube). Appreciated.

Masters of the Universe (1987, USA)
Director: Gary Goddard
Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Adventure/Teen

The plot makes no sense and it’s filled with holes so I won’t bother telling it to you. Instead I asked myself couple of questions and answered them:

Where is Orko ?
- Gwildor replaced Orko as a comic sidekick.
Why ?
- Probably because they did not have the technology to create Orko.

Where is Prince Adam ?
- Nowhere. He-Man is all the time in his superform although he shouts at the end, “I have the power!”.

Why does Skeletor has large army of stormtroopers borrowed straight up from Star Wars -movies ?
- Yes, why? That is something totally unprecedented.

Where is Battle Cat (aka Cringer) or many other major characters known from the series ?
- Well, the movie follows the animation series only a little.

Closing comments:
What you get is a movie that somehow resembles the Masters of the Universe with “stormtroopers” and same kind of music borrowed rom Star Wars but it actually doesn’t remind anything!

Worth watching?
If you’re looking for decent turkey, you’ve got watch Masters of the Universe. It has blonde muscular Swedish actor sputtering bad english, rubberfaced Skeletor, 80s teen movie action and of course, He-Man himseld. For me, that was enough.

There is currently a new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe -movie in production (produced by Joel Silver). It will have visual effects done in the similar way as with the movie “300″. It has the potential but I fear the worst… I found couple of interviews (1) (2) about the new film and it seems they just might be doing it right. At least, in the way how the new Transformers film turned out to be.

Here is some great moments from the movie I uploaded to YouTube:

As said before, the easiest way to get it is to acquire a copy of Suomi Rock ’80 compilation but we’re here @ KynyNasty so nice people that we offer you the opportunity to get it right here.
