    Rifftrax does MegaForce



    1982. The decade of the action hero was underway. Within years, catchphrase-mumbling sentient biceps like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Guttenburg would come to dominate the cinemas.

    I made my dad take me to go see this in a Cineplex the size of a shoebox at the Scarborough Town Centre. I then went home and tried to recreate one of the vehicles with a shoe box.

        I had to wait until a Super Channel free weekend so I never experienced Bostwick's spandex covered body on the big screen (shudder)

        I just discovered that Mattel designed the outfits.

          Oooo, I might have to see this!

          I don't know if it's true, but I've read that the Hong Kong producer of the film, Golden Harvest, was so disappointed with the film's performance that they refused to have any of their following productions feature an English title starting with the letter "M". And that's why the Jackie Chan film that was originally to have the English title "Meals on Wheels" instead ended up with the nonsensical title "Wheels on Meals".

          Man, I remember them really promoting "Megaforce" in comic books though.
