Wiki Grayskull

He-Man - The Ultimate Challenge was a VHS release which featured the first five episodes of The New Adventures of He-Man, edited into one feature length movie.

Official Synopsis[]

Transported from Castle Grayskull to the Triax Solar System to save his own future, He-Man must battle not only the powerful forces of evil that greet him there, but also his old nemesis, the now bionic Skeletor. Having cheated his way into the future and now more dangerous than ever, Skeletor leads an evil band of Mutants against He-Man and the heroic Galactic Guardians. From the peaceful planet Primus to the evil, crater filled world of Denebria, the struggle for the universe is waged with weapons and vehicles beyond imagination.

    The movie's unique title card.

    The movie features a unique opening title card named after the fifth episode of the series, which was also used as the name of the Adventure Video included with the action figures.
  • The synopsis (above) from the back of the VHS appears to tie in more with the London Edition Magazines released in the UK; such as the reference to Triax, rather than the Tri-Solar system in the cartoon.
