    Utterly stupid.

    Classic cheese, like Julius Caesar's face imprinted on a block of cheddar, sure its not going to be a dignified high point in history but it's something unique to see.

    It's Mad Max crossed with dune buggy action racing in this campy rmp by as crack special operations team. It's probably the inspiration for the cartoon, GI Joe.

    A great movie to watch with a group of rowdy friends. You'll be shouting at the screen in no time. High camp action with unintentional laughs throughout.

    I think this film is not too bad at all, some might consider it to be cheesy, bit I liked it cause of the special effects and had great acting. Megaforce is a classic underrated B-movie from 1982.

    Thought this to be one of the greatest films ever made whilst leaving the theater as young lad. Sticking by original rating.
