Masters of the Universe

Audio problem: When He-Man pulls the sword out of the lock and yells "I have the power!", the movement of his mouth is not synchronized with the words, especially when he says "power".

Visible crew/equipment: As Blade turns around with sword in Grayskull, the light panel for the camera is reflected on his patch.

Other mistake: As the camera precedes He-Man, the tire tracks of the camera vehicle can be seen over his right shoulder.

Continuity mistake: As He-Man ducks from a shot by the centurion, his sword and harness fall completely off. In the stairwell, it's back in place.

Other mistake: As the troops come through the door to our world, assuming the are on the street between the buildings and the shot is done outside, the words on the drug store windows they pass are reversed.

Revealing mistake: As Evil-lyn sends a signal, one of the troops behind her gets on the transport. As he passes the railing, it and the wall wobble badly, showing a very cheaply made prop.

Trivia: The film was largely a disappointment both commercially and critically. A sequel to the film was written, but by 1989 the He-Man franchise was no longer popular, and the script was transformed into the action film Cyborg.

Chosen answer: A sequel was not only planned, but money was spent developing sets and costumes. However, Dolph Lundgren did not want to reprise the role, so Laird Hamilton was picked to play He-Man with Albert Pyu set to direct. Canon Films, who produced the first movie, was also planning on producing a Spider-Man movie. However, Canon Films still owed money to Mattel and Marvel for the character rights that they couldn't feasibly pay, so both projects had to be scrapped. Incidentally, not wanting to let money go to waste on sets and costumes, they had Pyu come up with a movie to utilize them, which resulted in Cyborg starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
