Scooter



Okay, who remembers the 1982 action flick called Megaforce?

Don't? Well, here's a movie clip to refresh your memory.

Here's the cover



Tell me this bike isn't almost identical in styling - so I give you

MegaMatcom - Men in headbands and spandex

2. MEGAFORCE!!!
Kickass movie!!! Starring Barry Bostwick no less. And a kickass theme song, by 707 IIRC...

If only we could all ride around the desert in wacky-looking post-apocalyptic motorsickles...

4. I watched this movie far too many times
but I was about 9, so I was legally unable to decipher crap from good, which also why I watched Flash Gordon w/ Max Von Sydow as Ming far too often.

Sadly, I saw this steaming turd in the theater on release
It was the summer after 7th grade for me, when I discovered Rush, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath and picked up the electric geetar for the first time.

Gotta admit, that Barry Bostwick looks pretty dashing in that gold lamé unitard... :silly:

22. I was never very good at vehicle ID
hitting said object yeah I was great at it but not the ID part so much.

Not T80's I don't think.

Anyway I have to say that that was quite the operation they staged out in a desert somewhere. I would be shocked to learn that it was pulled off safely.

That was better than I expected-light years above the old Shazam TV show

25. Funny. I had one of those MEGAFORCE armored car Hot Wheels
Seeing as I was spared the movie, I never quite understood what the fuck it was. It was an ugly sand colored car with a movable gun.
