Memorable, crazy movie
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Introducing a skinny action hero who looks like he wandered off from a Bee Gees tribute act. He and his troops gad about on bikes and dune buggies. They shoot at things that explode even when they are not hit.Things go bang. Nobody appears to die. Clunky 'buddy' dialogue is exchanged. Things go bang again. The hero's hair remains unruffled.Persis Khambatta looks lovely (as always) although she struggles with the dialogue. The baddie chews the scenery in the approved manner. Michael Beck's career continues the downward slide that started after his excellent performance in 'The Warriors'. In this movie, his character is a bit like Kevin Bacon's from 'Tremors', only in a not very good way.Did I mention that things go bang? Ace Hunter's teeth outshine even his tight gold lamé jumpsuit. Thumbs are kissed.And at least the blue-screen flying scene is more convincing than the ones in 'Pumaman'.The whole thing is an absolute hoot, and everyone looked like they had great fun making it. For those who are too young to remember the Eighties, this film will educate you about that shiniest of decades.
I think people need to give this movie a Break it was entertaining. It should be on DVD This movie had Dune Buggies with Laser's and Missiles Rad Motorcycles. I rate it along the lines of Flash Gordon, and the Last Star Fighter. It probably led to Edward Mulhare getting the job on Knight Rider. I remember watching this movie a number of times on HBO when we first had it on Cable, along with Flash Gordon, You might consider it a B-Movie. People need to remember Special Effects in 1982 were not what they are today. I give this movie a 10 because I enjoyed it, and would love to see it again. It would be cool to have had a Megaforce Toyline. The only thing we got was a Video Game. That I know of anyway. Gi Joe did come out with the Awe Striker Toy, and Robotech had a Cool Motorcyle in the 3rd Generation. This movie should have been marketed better. Hollywood Remakes so many movies that should not be remade. The tech in this movie was Cool. I liked its Bravado.
In all honesty, this was a movie with some real great potential. It could had actually really been a decent movie, if it had only an actual script to work with.This movie is totally lame and silly but almost in a good way. It has so much cult potential in it with its awesome main concept, great weapons and vehicles and over-the-top silly action, that defies all logic. It makes the movie real fun to watch but at the same time it also remains simply an horrible one.It's literally a laughable bad movie, which is not just due to its simplistic story and lame characters and dialog but also because of the way how it looks. I'm not even talking about Ace Hunter's heroic costume and haircut but more about the overall visual look of this movie, that is horribly cheap. The use of the blue-screen is often real laughable and some of the action is just totally insane, in a true laughable way, without giving anything away about it. Seems like this movie got also actually aimed toward kids, also judging by its action. The movie is at least being very childish and simplistic.But really, I could had been OK with all this. This movie would had been a perfect, campy, science-fiction, action, cult-classic if only it had a half decent story in it. Seriously, I can't even tell what this movie is about and it's not like this is being a very complicated movie. It's just about nothing really and it only seems to rely on its main concept of having Megaforce, battling and blasting away a bunch of bad guys. But why, how and who? I have no idea about that really. Granted that I was not alway paying much attention but that was because the movie could hardly hold my interest.It's still a movie you could have a fun time with watching because of how bad and silly it can all get but still it remains a huge waste and shame that they didn't do any more and anything better with its potentially great and awesome concept.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
this is the stuff of legends....I agree entirely with trevor-k above. he hit all the nails exactly on the head.This is a baaad, cheesy, cliché movie that should probably have never been made but when you're a 11-12 yr old boy this is the best thing since sliced bread.my brother and I saw this (about 25 years ago) and thought it was the shizzle! (well, maybe excepting star wars of course), and the next week we went to see something else and decided, Sod it! lets see MEGFAFORCE again!! woohoo!!! This is the kind of movie Homer Simpson would make, says it all really....
