Megaforce (1982)

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…

This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?

The date is June 25th, 1982. Eye of the Tiger is holding steady on the charts at #8. And a film from Burt Reynolds's old buddy, Hal Needham, is about to light up the screen with some rocket propelled motorcycles.

The film...is Megaforce. And it's about to para-drop...now!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we light up some multicolored smoke and ride our rocketbikes across the desert are fellow cinephiles and soldiers of fortune Mike and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the low bar of knowing what is happening in a movie (a feat that Megaforce does not achieve); Barry Bostwick leaves little to the imagination as he models the tightest jumpsuits put to screen; and finally, we bask in the awesome grandeur that is Introvision and the climax that spawned one of the all time great Gifs.

And as Ace Hunter and his band of merry warmongers fly off into the sunset, we bid Megaforce adieu. When Where Were You in ‘82 continues, we’ll join Mrs. Brisby as she searches for a cure for her dying weiner of a son in The Secret of Nimh.
