Uh.. there are lots of explosions.. also Henry Silva.. MEGAFORCE! Buy the full version here and support Rifftrax. www.rifftrax.co... www.rifftrax.co...
Well someone could make a sequel to "The Producers" and have part of the joke being michael bay and other top studio directors are in competitions to make the most ridiculous play possible that can still get enough numbers to displace the musical cats since cats had a full film produced and upset the big directors etc.... imagine a michael bay play with weekly pyrotechnics
I was aware of MegaForce having a plan to do 3-4-5 films. No real idea of a TV show. PS; in comic book, magazine ads, Cdr Ace wears a sidearm, has guns. But not in the movie.
GI Joe is far more dignified than this, Cobra Commander is calling it ridiculous. This is more like a 12 year old making what he THINKS is GI Joe while also misunderstanding Starship Troopers.
just think, this movie came out the same month as E.T., The Thing, Poltergeist, Blade Runner, and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan... oh, and Grease 2 but the less said about that the better.
I would never have bought this Rifftrax if I hadn't seen this video. Heck, I almost didn't click on this video because it didn't look appealing. But I watched, and it was so great and so classic MST3k that I bought the full version today.
They have the receipts of every purchase... some say they even have the cash of every purchase... are you sure you bought? Caus I'm so indebted I'm still trying to survive.... I dont get paid for my work :/ so I'm in that boat that's stuck in a hurricane without a engine
I was about 12 when this came out. I saw the commercials and really wanted to see it. Had I actually gone to see it I think it would have made a disappointing puberty even more so.
This is my all-time favorite bad movie. A prime slice of 80s action cheese- the politics are weird and terrible, the rear-projection is fairly awful, and the 'manly comeraderie' among the men is beautifully forced. But the action scenes- >chefs finger kiss
"Continental, we don't even exist anymore, but we're still better than United." But...they ARE United now. The two just merged. United even uses Continental's old logo. LOL
@@ENigma-um8zw Thanks, but it's not entirely my eye alone. Another commentor also pointed it out, but to be fairly honest, I did have my suspicions when I saw him take off the hat, and wondered why he looked familiar. To be fair, when he's not wearing the hat, and just sitting there not saying anything, if you've ever seen The Warriors, you could recognize his face. He had the same stare in that movie. At least this is a bad 80's action movie, that's enjoyably bad, and has an alright soundtrack. And apparently, according to someone in the comments, this movie also inspired the movie Team America: World Police, by the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Which I hope is true, because Team America is one of my favorite movies ever. And South Park is pretty much one of my favorite shows.
Sadly, the budget for this was 20 million which was an insane budget for 1982 (which was more than what The Empire Strikes Back cost). Where did the money go?
Sadly yes. But did you expect him to ever get offers to direct anything remotely Oscar-worthy? After this he went on to direct RAD a BMX bike themed cheese fest
Hahahaha this is why Hitler had to institute a "leave your bike jumps at home" policy for the blitzkrieg You have no need to do an the street jumps in the sudetanland! Dis is not un x games! Kickflips uber alles!
It always bothers me when I watch an MST/RiffTrax and see an actor or actress that I'm a big fan of and know that they're WAY TOO GOOD for this film/short. Case in point: Edward Mulhare. And to a lesser extent George Furth and Persis Khambatta . Also, as much as I love the 80s. They had some WTF films out there that just don't cooperate with my brain.
So you dont like jaws 3d either? I personally like the idea of a 3d film but alas.... maybe if they made a science fiction themed political space thriller
With so many remakes and redos why, in the name of God, hasn't Mega Force been done? Put Will Ferrell as the lead and you'll have a straight to DVD hit!
dune buggies are used by special forces since they can get around large amounts of space in a short amount of time. they are light, fairly quiet for their speed, don't break down and for recon the weapons they can mount can do the job more effectively then an apc or humvee. motorcyles are also used for the same reasons in recon and transport of special forces troops.
@@toomanyaccounts true but I was referring motorbikes The narrator is happily rubbishing them but from what I've heard, the US Special Forces, when they first saw this movie, were genuinely interested in the possibility of rockets being fired from the handlebars
@@galexeqe why wouldn't they be? if you had such rockets and they were that accurate that would be a potential major force of increase in power. its not like mounted weapons on bikes is not something unknown to the military. Vespa 150 TAP was a scooter that had a M20 75 mm recoilless rifle in the frame of the vehicle. while meant to be fired while stationary it could be fired while the scooter was on the move. Then you have the bikes whose sidecars had machine gun even mortar mounts on them.
@@toomanyaccounts dunno mate, you'd have to ask the US military that one Maybe after they sat through the movie they thought "A little too sci/fi for me......make a good toy though " Some people have no vision eh
What about that "thumb's up kiss" move that they did? I figured there's be some riff on that. As dumb and weird as it was, it probably made more sense than most of this movie.
Remember the ads in the comic books? "Deeds, not words" I found my old comic! Here's the ad:. popcultureaffidavit.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/megaforce.jpg
People say Manos or Plan 9. No. This is quite possibly the shittiest movie ever made. Someone said for a movie to actually be bad it had to be devoid of entertainment. This is it. This is so lacking in entertainment it actually makes other movies less entertaining because as you watch them you remember this movie exists.
the title needs a hyphen like anything 7:52 - who looped adam west's dialog? sounds like that stunt guy 8:14 - andy gibb, racist son of a bitch 10:16 - battle star dumbasstica 10:24 - is that hall or oats?
That ending scene with bike has to be among one of the worst shots in cinema history. I burst out laughing at it.
That was about the point where the film lost the last shred of whatever dignity it had.
Someone got paid a lot of money to film and edit that scene into a movie for the public to pay money to watch.
SAD!
@@daydream5120 I think somewhere around the 3 second mark briefly
this was a high budget movie but that scene looked so cheap...
They jumped the shark, but couldn't afford the shark, lol.
"Hitler and Michael Bay snorting Coke everyone". Priceless!
Well someone could make a sequel to "The Producers" and have part of the joke being michael bay and other top studio directors are in competitions to make the most ridiculous play possible that can still get enough numbers to displace the musical cats since cats had a full film produced and upset the big directors etc.... imagine a michael bay play with weekly pyrotechnics
I nearly passed out from that one.
Gold spandex, the time honored uniform of elite soldiers.
Yes you can tell they are Tier 1, SOF because they have absolutely no weapons, magazines, grenades, knives, sidearms. 😒
"Computer...load Battletoads." LOL it's funny how everyone agrees that game is impossibly hard to beat.
I have a feeling those dudes go home to the chicks from Angel's Revenge and they fight over who's outfit is groovier.
The closest civilization will ever come to creating a GI Joe movie.

This is a weird season of Power Rangers.
And, yet, still better than Operation Overdrive and Megaforce/Super Megaforce.
Perfect.
just think, this movie came out the same month as E.T., The Thing, Poltergeist, Blade Runner, and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan... oh, and Grease 2 but the less said about that the better.
Ya '82 was a really fantastic year for film, which makes THIS monstrosity even more ridiculous when you realize how big of a budget it had.
Oh and Escape 2000 ;)
Most overrated year for movies, ever, although 1999 is starting to gain fanboy traction.
I agree, 1982 was an amazing year!
Well after the empire strikes back everyone had to put higher budgets into films
Hard to believe Dallas also played Swan in 'The Warriors'
A gig is a gig. Funnily enough, he still to this day refuses to bad mouth this flick.
Michael Beck. He's said this and "Xanadu" pretty much ended his brief time on the A-list.
I swear that guy Dallas is what you'd get if you put Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey in a blender.
And added Rebel Yell Whiskey.
@@AnarchyDragon6 And also added in some fresh, delicious skoal for "good" measure!
Michael Beck! 🎭
"Pu-ma-man, he flies like a moron"
I would never have bought this Rifftrax if I hadn't seen this video. Heck, I almost didn't click on this video because it didn't look appealing. But I watched, and it was so great and so classic MST3k that I bought the full version today.
Well, I got into Rifftrax before I saw this, and I bought it already.
They have the receipts of every purchase... some say they even have the cash of every purchase...
are you sure you bought? Caus I'm so indebted I'm still trying to survive.... I dont get paid for my work :/ so I'm in that boat that's stuck in a hurricane without a engine
But I try to watch them on amazon when I'm ready to suffer and laugh
“Oh, god we love him, MY GOD DO WE LOVE HIM!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
The Hitler and Michael Bay doing lines bit is one of my favorite in all of Rifftrax hahaha
I was about 12 when this came out. I saw the commercials and really wanted to see it. Had I actually gone to see it I think it would have made a disappointing puberty even more so.
"Based on a story" I nearly pissed myself!
Persis Khambatta's best film where she had hair.
I don't know which Henry Silva role is more riveting: His one here or in Escape 2000 (Leave The Bronx!).
"No sugar!!! It makes me CRAZY!!!!"
My horn is out, I'm just shooting!
Any Silva role was pretty much awesome. RIP Mr. Silva.
This is my all-time favorite bad movie. A prime slice of 80s action cheese- the politics are weird and terrible, the rear-projection is fairly awful, and the 'manly comeraderie' among the men is beautifully forced.
But the action scenes- >chefs finger kiss
"continental airlines, we don't even exist anymore and we're still better than United" funny and factual!
Conntenatel Airlines, 1980s era. Still 💯 X better than 2020s era Spirit.
Another mad thing about this, the production company is Golden Harvest. They did most of Jackie Chan's movies in the 80's & 90's.
Turbine powered bikes, buggies with tank killing lasers and yet use C130s that have incredible amounts of space inside.
It would be cool if they used a C5A Galaxy. 🛩
That united joke is all the more hilarious now XD
Ahhh I want to watch the full version but it's not available to buy anymore. So thank you for having these clips.
I remember seeing this turd on HBO back in '84. even then I was like, "What am I watching?"
A bunch of things blowing up, and it hasn't improved over the years!
That's a good question, isn't it?
Team America was based on this. Hard to believe, huh?
5Rounds Rapid Easier to believe knowing that Matt and Trey used to do LSD.
Yeah... I remember the exact year when I saw an awful HBO show 32 years ago too.
Oh, Pumaman. :)
May you and your many spiritual descendants in stupid-looking flying effects live long and prosper.
This is one of my all time favorite riffs, they’re on fire in this one 😂😂😂😂
Not gonna lie. If I had a game like that simulator, I'd play the shit out of it.
Play the Atari game and you will be happy!
Not sure WHERE the 20 million spent on this movie went, but I still got a kick out of this film.
I'm just gonna be Way Too Honest here...as for Mega Force ...I saw this movie in the theater and I bought the Atari game...No regrets!
Right there with ya, buddy. Remember "Deeds, not Words"...
this came out in theaters?
Oh most definitely! Not a Riff Trax version, though, there was no Mystery Science Theater 3K going on...You had to make your own jokes in them days :)
Bryan Cranston was in the video game commercial!
Didn't Mega Force have a toy line? I seem to remember seeing an ad on the back of a comic book.
R.I.P. Persis Khambatta
I feel bad for the career of Michael Beck. before the Warriors, his career launched, after the Warriors, his career went downhill from there.
Great comp. Was sad that "YEAH, I'M A DOUCHE BAG, BABY! THE DOUCHIEST!" wasn't included.
Just realized: he's on a flying motorcycle WITHOUT GOGGLES! The marriage of stupidity and a bogus special effect.
+Photanic If hair is feathered in just the right way, no earthly force can disturb it.
Hey audience! U Buyin this garbage? Haha! We All know the hair must be feathered And the goggles must be worn (for safety)
Furious Deep - Not even Chuck Norris is a match for finely feathered hair.
He's on a flying motorcycle... and no goggles is what ruins the realism for you?
@@cumulushalo576 WHAT "realism"?
Megaforce AND Knight Rider? 1982 was a Hell of a year for Edward Mulhare
"Continental, we don't even exist anymore, but we're still better than United."
But...they ARE United now. The two just merged. United even uses Continental's old logo. LOL
You might say they... (puts on awkward looking sunglasses)... united airlines!
lol
Waldorf and Statler: “Hohohohohohoho”
Tomax and Xamot: “Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
I saw this movie in the theater 3 times when I was like 8 years old. I had a sad childhood.
3:13 No one makes connections like Gaston!
Show some respect, that's Professor Henry Higgins, you're talking to! He knows where you were born, now!
I didn't peel off the stickers of my Rubiks Cube in the 80's, I just set it on fire with made laughter.
We're much steadier in these closeups for some reason.
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
I love this movie!! Why isn't it streaming somewhere??? Ace Hunter, best hero name ever!!! Deeds, not words!
Loved this as a kid! Can't find the movie anywhere.
Rank? We don't use rank! Ohhh here's our commander, Ace Hunter!
MEGAFARCE!
Hitler and Michael Bay snorting coke together, everyone.
I love the “mouthful of delicious Skoal” t shirt guy lol
I think that's the same dude who played Swan in "The Warriors", now with a southern accent, that's filled with delicious skoal!

PhilBagels Indeed.

which is why it's better
ChrisJ092 Cocaine and costumes
why is this no longer available for purchase 😔
It's funny because the United Airlines joke was made before the scandal.
An entire movie with Edward Mulhare and they didn't make even ONE Knight Rider joke???? Blasphemy....
And his hair was perfect 👌
wait - 6:09, is that Hal Needham, director from the Smokey and the Bandit movies?
Yes, he directed this.
Sadly yes. But did you expect him to ever get offers to direct anything remotely Oscar-worthy? After this he went on to direct RAD a BMX bike themed cheese fest

You have no need to do an the street jumps in the sudetanland! Dis is not un x games!

I seem to recall Kevin(Servo) had quite the crush on Persis Khambatta in an MST3K episode.
Why dont they make Kevin sorbo jokes with that named character
Deeds not Words.
Say what you will about Megaforce, the theme song was rockin'!
Ace Hunter: It's all on the wheel, it all comes around.

Man, you can really see Barry's Bostwick, can't you?
The guy that caught the Rubix Cube?? That's Mr Lew (Evan C. Kim) from Kentucky Fried Movie!! ("A Fist Full of Yen") 😀
As insanely cheesy as this movie was. I still enjoy watching it for the hilarious cheesiness.
Still better than transformers and gi joe.

How many rooms?
This movie is INCREDIBLE. In the worst/best way.
Umm......this (should have been a direct to video) movie actually played in theaters???? Really????
In 1982, yes.
It was a different time...
It's amazing how Firefox 🎬 came out around the same time.
