Are you man enough for MegaForce?

Monday, June 5, 2006

Well, are you? Man enough to ride tricked out sandrails or motorcycles while wearing tight spandex? Man enough to wear a helmet all day only to whip it off at the end and have your hair look oh-so-perfect?

If so, then you certainly are man enough for MEGAFORCE !

Yes, before Delta Force there was MegaForce. The elite of the elite. These soldiers are the go anywhere, do anything force…and when they do a job, they look GOOD. Ace Hunter is the super cool leader with excellent hair and even tighter spandex. When he’s in charge, no villian with an armada of M-60 tanks is safe to carry on his evil ways.

The year was 1982 and a small, desert country was under attack from Guerera the Mercenary. Using hit-a-run tactics he attacks without mercy and soon, a small nation (or desert patch) would be lost. Enter MegaForce, a group created by the free countries of the world and trained in secret to protect the innocent…and those with bad hair.

These are motorcycles with mini-rockets and machine guns! Sandrails with lasers and gatling guns! And their stealth coating makes them turn black at night! Of course in the daylight, their bright white with orange lightning bolt camouflage hides them like, well…never mind…

This is REAL WAR! MegaForce will be air dropped from two C-130 transports (like 20 or so sandrails, 100+ motorcycles, 200 men, and 4 tons of hairspray) and attack Guerera’s supply depot. Then they will paly decoy and lead the enemy back across the border so that they get captured by the army that keeps getting beat. Wait, what?

Awwww, nevermind…just enjoy the taste of victory and savor the smell of hairspray.

These soldiers ride the parachutes down on their bikes and race off to attack tanks, because no tank in the world can stop a MegaForce bike.

Finally, the semi-evil Guerera plans a trap hoping to have MegaForce under his thumb and destroy them once and for all. Will they escape? Turn off reality for a while and find out.

Seriously though, as campy and bad as it is, I remember this being a fun movie at the time. I so wanted one of those bikes. If you ever get a chance, spend the $1.00 and rent this so-bad-it’s-funny movie.
