MegaForce (1982)

The combination of ultra-cheesy blue-screen effects, a motorcycle that looks like it’s made of Styrofoam and garbage can lids, gold lamé jumpsuit and the actors’ goofy reaction shots make this scene from Megaforce a classic of ‘so bad it’s good’ cinema. A cult favorite - Matt Stone and Trey Parker paid homage to Megaforce in Team America: World Police and an episode of South Park -  it’s inexplicably never been released on DVD. I’d love to hear director Hal Needham’s commentary.

“Megaforce, a phantom Army of super elite fighting men whose weapons are the most powerful science can devise”

The appropriately goofy theme song was written by Jerrold Immel.
