Too bad we'll never see the Roger Corman Fantastic Four

I saw pieces of that. (you can find a few online) It was as bad as, or even worse than (hard though that is to believe) the Captain America flick which occasionally, for reasons known only to SATAN, is shown on TV. It made the '70s Spider-Man series look positively good by comparison. It made Highlander 2 worth watching, if Highlander 2 had ever actually existed.

I'd second that.

You mean it was worse than the Justice League TV pilot?

Ooo! I know how we can get information out of suspected terrorists! Tie them down and make them watch the Corman Fantastic Four, the Captain America movie, and Dolph Lungren's Punisher.

They'll be begging to spill their guts.

Like we're not already in enough trouble with the Geneva Convention...

By comparison, Lundgren's Punisher was a model of moviemaking excellence. Really. Compared to Corman's FF, or that execrable "Captain America" movie, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (Lundgren again) is a towering achievement of cinema to rival Casablanca, Jackson's "Lord of the Rings", and Citizen Kane all rolled into one.

I saw the He-Man movie at a con, and sort of enjoyed it. I think the important thing about that film was that everyone involved realized they were in a kvie based on a Saturday morning cartoon, and invoked the proper level of camp as a result.
