Megaforce

from Film Frown

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!” Thanks for listening!
