Megaforce (1982)

[Rshnrkt 2]

I remember liking this movie as a kid but looking back it was pretty awful.

Dallas: Rank? Why ain't nobody got a rank in Megaforce. 'Cept the Commander, but we all call him Hunter.

Barry Bostwick as Ace Hunter, leader of a knock-off GI Joe military team!

 

Here is just a taste.

 

[KingKirby 7]

YES YES YES... Even when I saw this as a kid, I was blown away by its awfulness... and I liked "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone."

[Johnny Unusual 525]

I think there are a couple of suggestions for this. Can we merge them into one thread?

[Jeremy Dahl 2]

Guys, this movie has to happen!! In a fit of nostalgia, my buddy and I bought it on eBay, and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my LIFE. It's near-“The Room”-level crazy.

 

The HDTGM cast is missing out on one of their favorite films (they just don't know it yet)!

[Goon Diapers 6]

I put in my vote for this movie as well. So good.

That may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

"You love 'em in blue and you love them in red. But most of all you love them in blue."

 

"That's totally inapplicable to anything that's going on here. And it's dumb. Who told you that?"

 

"You did!"

 

"But it's very wise. Very wise."

 

 

 

One of the greatest moments in the history of dialogue. Thumb kiss to all the Megaforce fans out there.

[TimDoyle 4]

This movie is awesome!

G.I. NOOOOOOO...!!!

 

But, yes. That scene alone: I'm hunting this movie down right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recommendation!

I love that scene with the biker, but it should of had some cranky old guy on that plane saying,

"SURE TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!" after he gets the bike on the plane.

 

I think I've watched that clip about 10 times today, at least.

 

I still laugh my ass off each time.

Guys! Seriously, guys!

You guys! Seriously!

 

Megaforce

 

Seriously.

• Barry Bostwick as "Commander Ace Hunter"!
  
• Michael Beck (from Xanadu, you guys!) as "Dallas," featuring the worst Texas accent in acting history!
  
• The British guy from Knight Rider!
  
• A flying motorcycle.
  
• A flying motorcycle.
  
• A.
  
• Flying.
  
• Motorcycle.
  

Seriously.

 

 

[Jeremy Dahl 2]

Hear, hear, paulzero!

 

I get a little sad when I think of all the fun the HDTGM crowd is missing out on...

[Rundwoods 0]

I came here specifically to request Megaforce. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this would make a great episode.

[JeremiahRickert 1]

I once sent away money to join the Megaforce fan club (there was an ad at the back of a comic book) and I never got my stuff. I'm still waiting Ace!

[Bowls 3]

I vote for this one!

[6stringsamurai 12]

They absolutely need to do this film. It was such a piece of shit, and I totally loved it as a kid.

[IRONicmerMAN 391]

I just recalled this film recently. I think it would be a fine choice for the crew. No ninjas, no lady exploitation (that I recall). Just feast your eyes on these gifs. They should help sell it as a great one for HDTGM.

 

 

 

 

Lastly, these quotes from the star are amazing: 'Bostwick claimed the Pentagon "tried to stop the movie" by withholding 40 army tanks needed for the bigger battle sequences because the movie's strike force "was very close to covert CIA strike forces still in existence."

 

"You know what's good about this film?" Bostwick later reflected. "It's plausible. We need an international force like this to keep the peace. I wouldn't mind betting that one day there's a real Megaforce operating somewhere in the world."'

One more recommendation for MegaForce: My 12 year old self LOVED this movie - and it is completely insane.

[achoohorsey16 34]

bump, also this movie was nominated for a Golden Razzie but I don't believe it won.

[mrgreen 6]

Bump. Please do this one. This would be an epic live episode.

Yeah, they are doing it at Just For Laughs in Montreal. I wish I could go, I would take my old VHS of Megaforce with me.

[MarcNado 28]

pretty sure they just start a war and commit war crimes in this film but they are still the good guys for some reason
