It is immensely entertaining. I would link to it from here, but the Evil Internet Overlords here at my company have blocked all YouTube access from the corporate network. Perhaps someone else can find it and post a link.

But here's a fun fact about Dolph that I found extremely mind boggling, and so I thought I'd share. He's actually extremely smart! I know! Who would have guessed? Certainly not me, but I have read on several sources that he went to the Swedish Royal Institute, then got a masters in chemical engineering in Sydney, and even got a scholarship to go to MIT but decided to try his hand at action movies instead. And thank god, because the acting world without Dolph? I shudder to think. ah yes, a movie starring Dolph Lundgren, guaranteed to make it to anybody “bad movie” list (and if it doesn’t, we must never meet).

Definitely a disappointment. Rumor has it another one is on its way, next year? Hopefully it's an improvement.

Nope, won't say it's good, but I enjoy it. Whether it's because my mind refuses to be too critical or what, I don't know and don't care. Not to mention that doing a He-Man movie isn't an easy task. But Eric makes me laugh, so I get to have it both ways. I like the movie and I can laugh at it. I don’t care what anyone says, I still like Masters of the Universe.
