Megaforce!

[Torgo]

Everyone ought to petition Synapse DVD company and see if they'll pony up the dough to do a full fledged Megaforce special edition complete in anamorphic widescreen, with a DTS audio track, a Barry Bostwick commentary track w/ moderator, deleted scenes and a tribute to blue screen effects from the era.

I'd rather have a commentary track featuring Hal Needham. That man really needs to confess what he was thinking when he made that. Not to mention he also made lots of terrible movies with Burt Reynolds. Since it's to late for an apology, an explanation would be fine.

Hey guys.  Long-time fan of the site, finally getting off my butt and participating on the board.

I actually watched this again a few nights ago, mostly to initiate a fellow crap cinema enthusiast to its charms.  She wasn't disappointed. 

It's amazing how little actual conflict there is in this film, given it's supposed to be about war, or combat, or stuff blowing up, or something.  Two good ol' boys meet in the Bonneville Salt Flats, one of them blows up the other's tanks, and they just sort of slap each other on the back and leave. 

Still, for my money, the show-stopper is the cartoon hillbilly pig in the briefing room.  One of the goofiest creative decisions of all time.

Welcome aboard.

How had I forgotten about that crazy pig cartoon that Beck's character turns on in the briefing room?  He starts laughing at it like a redneck madman!  Even in a movie such as this, it is amazingly out of place.

I was 7 BTW when I saw it in a local theater. Damn, that makes me feel a bit old now.   

Torgo, I'll make you feel a little younger, I was 30 when this came out, saw trailers on TV, due to the jumpsuits I thought it was a space movie, saw The making of Megaforce either at the show or on TV, and decided that it was just too awful to watch, I've caught a little bit on TV but always had something else to do. Now I'm going to have to watch this movie from beginning to end, I'll probably enjoy it after reading all that has been said about it.
