Re: she ra princess of power

i liked both shows equally.

Id always wondered was it shown in the cinema as not all films are.

So you answered something id long wondered.

Did he like it then the film.

He really enjoyed it. Actually, I think it was the first time he had been to the cinema...and it was a good excuse for me to see it as well. Funnily enough, I can't remember it being all that full, but I think it was a weekday matinee, so I would guess the next screening would have been much busier.

I remember seeing a He Man full length animated film at the cinema around 1984. It definitely wasn't the Dolph Lundgren/Frank Langella live action movie. Would it have been Secret of the Stone? After so many years I can recall hardly anything about it.

GRIZZLOR
A member of the Evil Horde Grizzlor is a hairy man-beast creature from the wild.
He has thick, brown fur and sharp claws, and he attacks his opponents with the power of brute strength. Most story media have portrayed him as a mindless brute with little intelligence. His animated counterpart looks scarier than the figure.
Grizzlor is voiced by Alan Oppenheimer in the 80s series.


Horde Prime
Horde Prime is the ruler of the intergalactic Evil Horde. He is only seen surrounded by smoke. His full true form has never been seen, though the episode For Want of a Horse confirms that he has two heads.

A metallic arm comes out of the cloud of smoke when he is outraged or angered. Horde Prime has a son named Prince Zed who calls Hordak his uncle, indicating that Horde Prime and Hordak may be brothers.
Horde Prime is voiced in the series by Lou Scheimer.


Imp
Imp is a shapeshifting spy who helps out Hordak. Imp more often than not tries to stay on the right side of Hordak to avoid incurring his wrath. He points out to Hordak when other members of the Evil Horde fail in their different missions, and encourages Hordak to vent his anger on them. Because of this nature Imp is hated by most other members of The Horde. It is not just The Horde who have a dislike for Imp, but also members of The Great Rebellion.

In one episode Imp attempts to set up Kowl as a Horde spy, by planting Horde coins in his bed. Some of The Rebellion think Kowl may be a traitor, but Adora believes he is innocent. Later on in the episode it is revealed that Imp was the one responsible for the coins and that Kowl is innocent. The Rebels apologize to Kowl for not trusting him. Imp's main task is due to his shape-shifting abilities. He is tasked to spy on members of The Rebellion, and report back to Hordak, which has been shown on several occasions, such as informing Hordak of the Red Knight, and the birth of Swift Wind's baby on Unicorn Island. It seems that without Hordak, Imp has little influences within The Horde, being more like a lapdog.

Imp is actually rather distinctive amongst the Horde, as he is one of their few members with the ability to fly. This is odd given the fact that it is stated numerous times in the series that Horde Prime has a hatred of flying creatures.

Due to the lack of any noticeable mechanical augmentation, it can only be surmised that Imp's transformative abilities are magical in nature, making it interesting that Hordak seems to prefer him so much, given the Horde General's distrust of magic. Of course, with the mythology surrounding imps in general as being friendship-hungry heralds of other more powerful evils, one could argue that Imp's presence is more a status symbol for Hordak than anything else.
Imp is voiced by Erika Scheimer in the 80s series.

INSPECTOR DARKNEY.

Inspector Darkney is the Horde Inspector that works for Horde Prime.
Inspector Darkney is voiced by Lou Scheimer.


LEECH

A member of the Evil Horde, Leech is an amphibian-like creature of a large and bulky build with green skin and suction pads on his hands, feet and mouth. It is these suction pads that provide him with his main power: to suck and drain the life-force from his opponent, rendering them helpless against him. In the cartoon, he did not have the "extra mouth" that the figure had. Instead, he used his suction cups to drain his enemies' life force.

Leech is voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 80s series.


Mantenna

Mantenna is a member of the Evil Horde He is a creature with four legs and pop-out antenna eyes. He can fire energy beams of different varieties from his eyes, such as stun beams, gravity distortion beams, and freeze rays. Mantenna is a nervous stuttering imbecile mainly used for comic relief, with a running gag that Hordak frequently sends him down a trap door in front of his throne for any number of reasons. Although, once or twice Mantenna actually turns the tables on Hordak and sends him plummeting down his own trap. The figure's eyes are not blue but yellow in the cartoon.
Mantenna is voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 80s series.

MODULOK

modulok is a multi-bodied monster who can reform himself into thousands of different shapes to confuse his enemies.^[12] He is a member of the Evil Horde, though in some cartoon appearances is seen to work for himself. According to the He-Man comics, Modulok was originally a petty thief called Galen Nycoff who was mutated into Modulok while attempting to escape from the Space Prison. He is also known for creating Multi-Bot. He is one of the few Horde figures to not wear a Horde bat emblem. This may be attributed to his origin as one of Skeletor's minions, who, despondant with Skeletor's rule, fled to Etheria and offered his services to Hordak. He does not have any major roles in the original He-Man cartoon because it was drawing to a close before the Evil Horde figures were released.
Modulok is voiced by Alan Oppenheimer in the 80s series.


Multi-Bot

A member of the Evil Horde, Multi-Bot is a robot composed of multiple body parts which he can reform at will into thousands of different shapes. He is a robotic creation and counterpart of the character Modulok whose action figure also consisted of numerous different body parts which could be locked together in many different ways. He was marketed as the "evil robot of a thousand bodies". He is designed to allow his body parts to reconfigure with those of Modulok's also. He only appears in the "She-Ra" cartoon because the original "He-Man" cartoon finished its production when the Evil Horde were newly introduced.



Octavia

Octavia is an octopus woman from Octopus Cove. She is the Horde commander at a port near The Sea of Sigh, a small Etherian ocean. Although she caught She-Ra in her tentacles upon first meeting her, the Octopus lady proved to be no match for the Princess of Power. Sea Hawk on the other hand was not nearly as successful at defending himself from Octavia, who even brandished hidden swords when challenged by the pirate. After being seized by her tentacles, Sea Hawk appeared to be drained of energy, suggesting that Octavia has abilities similar to Leech. She was also vastly more intelligent than the average Horde villain.
Octavia is voiced by Melendy Britt in the 80s series.


Scorpia

Scorpia appeared in the First Season of the show as one of the Horde's main warriors. She seemed to have jurisdiction over a region called the Crimson Waste, where she owned a scorpion shaped domicile (with a throne-room) replete with slaves. Scorpia and Catra were often at loggerheads with each other, usually only working together as a last resort, although Scorpia ultimately had to obey Catra as a member of Catra's Force Squad. Instead of hands, she possesses claw-like pincers, and a powerful tail which was used to capture opponents. Her tail makes her a powerful fighter. Her tail is at times a disadvantage to her as She-Ra used it several times to hurl her out of the way.

She is not the most intelligent member of the Horde, as evidenced on several occasions, most notably when Bow fooled her into believing that he was an amorous Horde inspector and thus gained access into a secret Horde factory. She owned a powerful tank called the Crawler, with a scorpion-shaped tail that shot sleep-rays, and learned the hard way that she may be skilled at both technology and combat, but isn't cut out to practise magic.
Scorpia is voiced by Linda Gary in the 80s series.


Shadow Weaver

A vastly-powerful Horde witch, who commands an array of dark magic, and an encyclopedic knowledge of mystical lore. Shadow Weaver began as a practicing apprentice sorceress originally from the Kingdom of Mystacor. Her real name is unknown although the UK comics gave her the name Light Spinner. She, along with a rival sorceress named Castaspella, were being trained by a great Etherian sorcerer Norwyn. When Hordak arrived on Etheria, he promised Shadow Weaver great power in exchange for information about rebel leadership, to which she agreed. Originally only a second-rate sorceress herself, her capabilities were greatly increased through a magical gem, one that was responsible for a devastating unforeseen physical transformation.

While absorbing the power of the Horde's "dark gem", Norwyn discovered her and realized her great betrayal. He then destroyed the gem, severing her link with the gem but not before she had taken a third of its power, inducing an irreversible change in her mentally and physically. She betrayed Norwyn and Castaspella, and joined The Horde forever. From the first episodes of She-Ra, it seems that Shadow Weaver acted as a sort of adoptive mother for Adora.
Shadow Weaver is voiced by Linda Gary in the 80s series.


Spyster

Spyster is a member of the Evil Horde.


Vultak

Vultak is a flying Hordesman who is a cross between a man and a vulture. He runs Hordak's zoo, and regularly hunts new creatures for this facilities.
Vultak is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 80s series.

Re: she ra princess of power

THE EVIL HORDE

HORDAK

Hordak is Skeletor's old master, and an Evil Horde emperor who reigns in terror over most of the planet Etheria. He could re-arrange the different parts of his body into all manner of weapons and devices, making him one of the most formidable foes in the cartoon. Unlike his former pupil Skeletor, Hordak prefers to place his reliance on Science and Technology, rather than magic. He suffered no fools and expected the highest standards of excellence from his minions, rewarding them when they succeeded and punishing them severely when they failed.
Hordak is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 80s series and by Colin Murdock in the 2002 series.


Catra

In the animated series, Catra is the Force-Captain of Hordak's Evil Horde (a position previously held by Adora before she defected). Her trademark is a magical mask, given to her by Hordak, who in turn had stolen it from the queen of the Magicats. Catra could transform into a purple panther of formidable strength by pulling the mask over her eyes. Even in human form however, Catra had such confidence in her own skills that she was prepared to take on Huntara, one of the most ruthless warriors in the galaxy.

The deliciously comical feline voice bestowed upon the character by Melendy Britt belied Catra's extremely cruel and calculating ways. The only characters that Catra evinced any tenderness towards were her pet lion Clawdeen and the handsome pirate Sea Hawk, although the latter evoked Catra's wrath when he paired with Adora. The vain feline Force Captain had no regard or concern for even her fellow members of the Evil Horde, although Entrapta seemed to come as close to being a friend of Catra's as anyone could get. She despised Adora from her time in the Horde, as she envied the position that Hordak adopted daughter was holding.


Catra's mask also granted her telepathic control over all cats, and seemingly the power to teleport herself to specific locations as displayed in the episode One To Count On. In the storyline, she is the principal villain instead of Hordak (who is part of the Masters of the Universe toyline), but even in the Filmation series, she was featured as the chief antagonist in more episodes than any other Horde villain. In fact, Catra only seemed to serve Hordak in order to accrue more power and position for herself. She teamed up with Skeletor to destroy Hordak in My Friend, My Enemy, presumably after learning that Hordak offered to make Kowls evil cousin his Force Captain. She was also perfectly ready to abandon Hordak so that she could become the Queen of the Magicats.


Colonel Blast

Colonel Blast is a Horde commander with laser guns built into his body. He was based on the prototype for Rio Blast, a heroic character.


Dragstor

Dragstor is a cyborg who is part man, part vehicle. He has a tired wheel built into his chest which he uses to cruise along the ground at super-speed. He was never featured in the He-Man cartoon (nor even the She-Ra cartoon) because he was one of the penultimate series toys to be released.


Dylamug

Dylamug is a large, super-advanced evil robot who is occasionally placed in charge of Hordak's troopers.
Dylamug is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 80s series.

Entrapta

Entrapta is the Evil Horde's villainous technician. She appears to be a close sidekick of Catra. Entrapta is a skilled inventor, and is credited with designing advanced equipment for The Horde to employ in their battle against The Great Rebellion. Her speciality is devising different traps for members of The Rebellion. One invention created by Entrapta is the Trapper Tank.
She has two long braids of hair which she can use to entangle her opponents. Apparently, she has the power to control the movement of her hair at will.
Entrapta is voiced by Linda Gary in the 80s series.

False Face
False Face is a member of The Evil Horde who only appears once throughout the series' run. In this episode, it is established that his power is to mimic the appearance of anyone he wishes. It is never clarified whether he could mimic another's powers as well as their appearance.

In the episode, he is shown taking the form of Prince Highcliff, who had been visiting Bright Moon. Once in the form of the Prince, Hordak tells him that he will go to Bright Moon and spy on the Rebels, in order to find a weak spot in their ranks. The Horde can then use this achilles' heel and defeat The Great Rebellion.

False Face uses his disguise to enter Bright Moon, and kidnaps Glimmer and steals the Moonstone, which powers Bright Moon. Back in the Fright Zone, False Face is thwarted by the real Prince, and Glimmer retrieves the Moonstone. They rush back to Castle Bright Moon hopefully before The Horde can attack and overpower the people.

Re: she ra princess of power

Theres a film with them both in called Secret of the Sword and She Ra was He Mans long lost twin sister and they team up and fight Skeletor and Hordak, i dont think it was ever shown on TV, but if your lucky you can find a copy in the Charity shops now and again, ive picked it up about 10 times in the same amount of years.

BTW has anyone else watched the Masters of the universe film right till after the credits when Skeletor pops his head out the water and says "ill be back? i never knew about that for years.

Re: she ra princess of power

thats so sad to hear that dicenzo who played hordak and bow passed away last month its a voice id know anywhere.

hi blitz where can you get both the he man and she ra episodes in the uk.
cant find them anywhere.

The first 36 episodes of He-Man are available on separate DVD volumes in the UK. I'd sooner recommend ordering the entire box sets from the States off amazon.com though. You'll need to unlock the region code on your DVD player to be able to play them.

The original He-Man series is available from amazon.com over 4 separate box sets and She-Ra over 3 box sets. You can also order the entire series of the less popular 'sequel' series The New Adventures Of He-Man (nothing like the original show but nowhere near as bad as it was considered at the time) and all 39 episodes of the short-lived remake of the original series from the early 00's.

Re: she ra princess of power

In one of the DVD interviews the show's writers complain that they were never able to make the villains as dark or evil as they wanted to as the censors insisted they should be played for comedy effect.

thats is just terrible.
villains should be real villains as dark and as evil as possible.
skeletor was more evil in the early episodes.

that christmas special skeletor, she ra, and he man, where in really did ruin skeletor.

[darren]

Re: she ra princess of power

In total there were 93 episodes of She-Ra and 130 episodes of He-Man. I have them all. Only the first season of She-Ra (65 episodes) aired on UK TV, the second season never made it across the Atlantic.

In some of the earlier He-Man episodes Skeletor was a much more competent villain, but as the series progressed he was dumbed down more and more until he was completely ruined as a character by that diabolical Christmas Special. In one of the DVD interviews the show's writers complain that they were never able to make the villains as dark or evil as they wanted to as the censors insisted they should be played for comedy effect.

Frank Langella did an amazing job playing Skeletor in the 1987 live action movie; he'll always be the definitive Skeletor for me.

Also for the She-Ra fans: George DiCenzo, who did the voice of Hordak, the main antagonist, as well as She-Ra's male sidekick Bow, sadly died early last month at the age of 70. He will be missed.
