Storyline

He wanted to make a documentary about the making of Megaforce, one of 1982’s biggest box office failures. But when he met his hero, Megaforce star Barry “Ace Hunter” Bostwick, things started to get really out of hand. Hal Needham’s big budget epic Megaforce was one of the undisputed worst movies of 1982, and beyond- a box office flop that time would like to forget. But there is one man who remembers …Bob Lindenmayer, and he’s on a quest to convince the rest of the world just how awesome this stunt-filled spectacle is. As Bob delves into the movie’s history with cast and crew, he drags his childhood hero Barry Bostwick into his mission to relive the past. It’s a touching and hilarious tribute to the power of heroes, friendship, and flying motorcycles.

It’s haphazardly constructed, and director Bob Lindenmayer focuses a little too much on his own efforts to collect and restore the vehicles used on screen. But man, are the stories great, so it’s fun to watch.

I backed this on indiegogo because I sincerely, unironically love MEGAFORCE. It's exciting, romantic, dynamic, colorful fun. Its hero & villain are such great friends! Making Megaforce is amazing. Even if you point & laugh at the 1982 film, this is still a lovely documentary about how awesome moviemaking is and how awesome it is to be a real fan. I was smiling and gasping with surprise and joy its entire 100 minutes. Bob's knowledge of the movie, his ability to distinguish pieces of junk as being actual elements of the movie-used vehicles! He talks to everybody, even Zoran Perisic! And his charming friendship with Barry Bostwick, living out his fantasies of being a member of Megaforce alongside Ace Hunter himself! I received a bluray, but however it becomes available every movie fan should see this, it's really special.
