 Classic Review Archive - Space Megaforce   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
As if that weren't enough, Space Megaforce also sports the deepest weapon system of any Compile game to date (not to be taken lightly coming from a company known for its insanely complex weapon systems), some genuinely eye-popping graphics, and that trademark lightning-fast action we've come to expect from Compile.
Even the most ardent Compile junkie will admit that the company's games aren't known for their involving plots, and SM is no exception.
Though they are, all told, the best the SNES has ever seen from this genre, Space Megaforce's graphics really aren't the game's main selling point.

Megaforce Records was / is one of the foundations of heavy metal, more importantly American heavy metal for many, many years and I'm grateful to them for it.
MM: Now the first bands that got Megaforce off the ground were quite, and in some cases are still, quite legendary.
I've also been listening to a band from Switzerland called Blind Dog on a label called Meteor City, it's not the greatest recording in the world, but I'll say this if it were produced a little better it would've been one of the best records I've heard in a long time.

 Megaforce   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The basic concept of Megaforce is that it's a top-secret task force sponsored by the major governments of the world to take care of problems which they can't -- in this case it's Guerera, a mercenary for hire who's been paid to overthrow some made-up country.
English military call upon Megaforce, with it's high-tech weaponry, snazzy looking vehicles, and wisecracking mouths, to take care of Guerera.
Of course things don't go as smoothly as planned, but there are plenty of action scenes, lots of humour, and some really strange military techniques that must be seen to believe (and laugh at).

 NOWFF 2002 - The Bad Movie Report
Megaforce, you see, is an international fighting force of volunteer hooligans who ride around in tricked out dirt bikes and dune buggies, righting wrongs and blowing stuff up, not necessarily in that order.
Persis Khambatta — with hair — enlists Megaforce's aid against military strongman Henry Silva, but due to some political skullduggery cooked up at the last minute, Megaforce is not allowed to drive to their agreed-upon extraction point, so this is just like The Wild Geese, only not good.
None of this actually matters, as the true star of the movie is Megaforce leader Barry Bostwick's spandex-clad girly butt, which is featured in nineteen out of twenty shots.

 Megaforce CED Web Page
The plot of this CED revolves around Megaforce- "A phantom army of super elite fighting men whose weapons are the most powerful science can devise." Megaforce is led by the aptly named Ace Hunter, played by Barry Bostwick (currently on Spin City).
In many respects this is the quintessential action flick circa 1982 (RCA released their first stereo players about the time this came out), as Ace sports the "Eighties Afro" popular at the time and the Megaforce team are attired in skin-tight uniforms reminiscent of ABBA in the early 80's.

I did see it on the big screen when it was released, and have caught it probably 4 or 5 times since.
Now that it's fresh in my mind, I feel I have a new insight which ought to be shared with the world: that is, that MEGAFORCE may well be a spiritual as well as literal predecessor to David Worth II's WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD, starring Timothy Bottoms and- wait for it- Persis Khambatta.
It also stars Persis, in what is, unfortunately, her best performance that I know of, with Stephen Collins as an equally unappealing partner.

MEGAFORCE is a top-secret strike force with all the latest equipment (actually just motorcycles with flashy paint!) and a top secret fortress that tries to put James Bond to shame (Of course, this film doesn't have the scope or budget of Bond so it comes across like a B-Bond).
A DVD release of Megaforce would be poetic justice.
What I remember about this movie when I saw it as a kid, was the cool rocket-firing motorcycles (which later appeared in the PC game Command & Conquer), the dune buggies (which became real in the US Army's Fast Attack Vehicle) and other fantastic military hardware.
