Description of Megaforce movie: Ultramodern battle group led by Ace Hunter is struggling with a dictatorial regime. Tanks, guns, snakes, motorcycles, fine patriot – all mixed in one heap undue pathos.
Review: You know, if in the opening credits would be the words ” based on such and such a comic book ,” I would have understood and forgiven . In the early ’80s comics were just starting to crawl out on the big screen , and if you were really epic tape like “Superman” , then there were bright colorful primitive – like ” Flash Gordon ” or adaptations of comics Filipinnskih ” Darna “. And ” Megaforce ” could be attributed to the second category , but no – the basis of the original tape scenario in production invested money infamous Golden Harvest, and the director – famous Hal Needham .
Needham started out as a stuntman , then retrained in the directors . He cheerfully began removing picture with Burt Reynolds ‘ Smokey and the Bandit “and” Hooper . ” Then , releasing a couple of movies , Needham became the go downhill , removing several films each other worse and grab four nominations at the Razzie . This led to the fact that a few years pokumekali television director Hal left the profession.
First signs were just the same , ” Megaforce ” – through goofy tape, which could be mistaken for an army agitation if it were not so implausible . It is about caricatured evil general who wants to grab all . He is opposed by a secret group led by Ace Hunter, super-mega warrior . All this will result in a bunch of unreasonably loud , desperately implausible and incredibly inspirational fights .
This is the ultra-modern detachment goes on painted motorcycles with rocket launchers and at least painted armored vehicles , which can be seen from a mile away and that would have looked out of place , if only participated in some stunt shows. Theirs leader – Ace Hunter – smiling, bearded and wearing on his head , uh, blue bandage ( vykusi , Rambo !) . Sometimes it helps to patriotic and beautiful Persis Khambatta , who is much more attractive than the ” Nighthawks ” with Stallone .

A historical reference:
This movie was advertised to death in ’81 when it was “about” to hit the theaters.
I say “about”, because it DID hit the theaters–on schedule–BUT, the first audiences booed the HELL outta it, so FOX pulled it after only 3 days (no, REALLY!!), and dropped it from the catalog AFTER the initial VHS release (which I rented–well, found a surviving copy, anyways–for a laugh, in ’86). Not a good movie by a long shot, but worth at least 2-3 beers on a boring Saturday night. (PLUS–you haven’t LIVED until you see the flying Motorcycle!! LOL!!) Thanks for retrieving this and letting folks know that, “Yes, there WAS a ‘Megaforce'”. It’s also famous for being the first role for Persis Khambatta immediately after “STAR TREK: The Motion Picture” (1979)—and the regrowth of her HAIR (which she shaved all off for “STTMP”).
