Megaforce

We’re back and protecting the world from bad movies, like
Megaforce protects… wait we watched the movie and we’re still not
clear on what they do. Paul & Chris invite Arden and Jacob on
to discuss spandex, 80s car chase films, and a campaign to make
the thumb kiss a thing. We are also introduced to the Grease
Cinematic Universe.


Find Megaforce on a streaming service near you. Should you dare.


Megaforce performance via Box Office Mojo. And the rankings
for that year.

Arden reminds us that this film has a 0% rating on Rotten
Tomatoes.

This film is part of few attempts for stunt man turned
director Hal Needham to have another Smokey & the Bandit.

Oh hey, Dictionary.com has a definition for “Moose Knuckle.”

It would seem Edward Mulhare was typecast in only science
fiction and fantasy.

Arden is frustrated that Michael Beck from The Warriors was
in this movie.

Actor Evan C. Kim reminds Arden of Caveman movie starring
Ringo Starr.

Paul reminds us that Geico actually got a TV show out of
their Cavemen commercials.

The infamous B&W composition notebook.

Playing Burt Reynolds in this film, Henry Silva.

Jacob reminds us that skydiving is not a tactical thing, but
simply recreation.

It is fair to say that Michael Bay Hal Needhams better than
Hal Needham.

Honestly, we want to skip this bad green screen and watch the
Supergirl Ballet again.

Barry Bostwick’s co-star is Persis Khambatta from Star Trek:
The Motion Picture.

This film is from Golden Harvest productions. The Raymond
Chow and Golden Harvest Era.

Jacob reads us sections of the Wikipedia page for this film.
It is so laughable that it played a part in him choosing to watch
this movie.

While some may say Barry Bostwick’s best film is Rocky Horror
Picture Show, Chris argues for another film. Behold the trailer
for FDR American Badass.

Dear Nic Cage and Bruce Willis Arden says Barry is coming for
your jobs.

It’s your favorite Low Rider Nic Cage Scene.

We are all still hungover from watching that Neil Breen
picture and that was 2 years ago.

The A-Team disclaimer was short and to the point. The
Megaforce one is boring and long-winded.

A Thumb Kiss from Barry Bostwick. Oh no, they are really
trying to make this happen in the movie.

If you do not pay the FX team, they will take their toys back
and leave your motorcycles in the sand.

Barry changes into some Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
inspired clothes.

We still cannot get over Edward Mulhare playing the same
character as he played in Knight Rider.

It’s a motorcycle film, should it be remade with Tom Cruise,
middle tooth man?

Coy and Vance

Team America was based on Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s love
for Megaforce.

One of the director’s first jobs was on Skidoo, another Film
Frown movie.

Introvision was used in UHF (a past Film Frown movie), Army
of Darkness, Adventures in Babysitting, and Driving Mrs Daisy.

The skydiving scene was not Introvision, but Zoptic.

The deep dive into Geronimo!

Sauron makes a guest appearance in the movie?

Always remember Jacob’s hat is like a shark fin.

The original Adama, Lorne Green sells dog food.

More interesting than Megaforce is Spock’s Brain on VHS.



Remember when you see someone wearing Spandex shout “BOSTWICK!”
