Seriously, when I think of the -stan countries, I think of my college geography professor who made us memorize all the capitals of the newly independent -stan countries.

The countries of "Bullshitistan"...Thanks.<br /><br />The countries of "Bullshitistan" and "Myassistan" are excellent substitutes for the fake nations in the made-up world of Megaforce.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-65835708007529120542011-04-08T16:45:56.208-04:002011-04-08T16:45:56.208-04:00El Santo on the website 1000 Misspent Hours and Co...El Santo on the website 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting also recently put up a review of Megaforce.

I mean, even Rocky had a montage.<br /><br />@Iren: I was just looking at a stack of old war comics, and came across an ad for Megaforce that asked you to send them a dollar to receive "your official Megaforce membership kit." "For ONLY $1.00 you get: The official Megaforce patch, a Megaforce membership card, a reflective bike decal." I don't know 'bout you, but that still sounds like a pretty sweet deal.<br /><br />@Jerry: Thanks for the "fuck yeah," Jerry. :)<br /><br />Not an easy one to write about, let alone sit all the way through." You can say that again. If I had no memory of the movie's comic book ad campaign, I have no idea what I would have blathered on about. I mean, once you get past the bikes, the dune buggies, and Barry's hair, there's not much else going on in this flick.<br /><br />You're not only one to notice that he seemed to be glowing. In fact, some have said that it looked like Ace came twice in his jumpsuit during his maiden flight.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-63144661192942093702011-04-06T04:27:05.209-04:002011-04-06T04:27:05.209-04:00Fuck yeah, Yum!

This is one of those movies I remember being fascinated by as a kid, but retained very little memory of as an adult. When I finally caught it again a few years back, I realized why...Is it me, or was Barry just radiant with excitement when he finally got that bike off the ground? I seem to remember him glowing or some shit. Or maybe it was something I ate.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507994122498061011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-39140314694726870582011-04-05T19:46:06.808-04:002011-04-05T19:46:06.808-04:00I saw in the Theater with my brother and my dad wh...I saw in the Theater with my brother and my dad when it came out, and then I think on video in the 80s some time. There are 5 films that I recall seeing with my dad; Star Wars, Jaws, Empire Strikes Back , Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Mega Force..... that's it, wait you can add trash talking ET with him to that list, but still, one of these things is not like the others. Ahhh to be a 8 year old again.... anyway I also don't recall any of my peers having any of the toys, or even seeing them at K Mart (cause that's where we got our toys when I was a kid). I am pretty sure there was an Atari 2600 game tie in with this film as well, I never played it, but I recall seeing the ads..<br /><br />As for Flying Motorcycles? I'll BGS 1980's bike over <br /><br />I have a copy of Megaforce somewhere that I keep threatening to make my brother watch, but we haven't gotten around to it.Irenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078694505194875348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-44096313009920748722011-04-04T11:44:01.682-04:002011-04-04T11:44:01.682-04:00TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE has to be the ultimate ...TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE has to be the ultimate love letter/satire of this film.
