Is the Balrog just a guy with a $2 lion mask?

No, this looks like an AI generated film poster.

Was Aragorn really a southeast asian He-Man in this version?

Which was, then? That soviet one?

There is the Swedish 1971 movie Sagan om Ringen and if we include the Hobbit, then there's the 1967 version which is quite funny to watch.

The soviet movies Khobbita (1985) and Khraniteli (1991) came later, as did the the Finnish Hobbitit (1993) .
