"From the producer of 'The Godfather' and the director of 'The Cannonball Run'." Now THAT's a tagline!

So the takeaway is, Persis Khambatta is a snake trap.

Folks out these ways called her cooter “the R & R”, for Rattlesnake Roundup.

Still having a tough wrapping my mind around the phrase: "Megaforce stars Barry Bostwick"! I just dunno ...

Yeah. There's "the willing suspension of disbelief," and then there's "suspending disbelief at gunpoint".

LOVE this on rifftrax.

I've shown it to a few friends (because it's a legit great gateway drug to bad movies) and I always have a standing challenge: $ if you can explain to me the plot of the movie after we've watched it.

Everyone has failed the challenge and even been kind of shocked that they failed the challenge.

(It is a testament to their skill that the actors in this can somehow squeeze a bit of entertainment out of the complete madness and insanity that is the script.)

Absolutely. Both Barry Bostwick and Henry Silva are working their asses off to hold the audience’s attention. Sadly they’re in a movie that also contains…Michael Beck.

I LOVE the sequence of Henry Silva just going to town on the scenery. Man should have played a bond villain. Complete with that cigar.

I don't know how he managed to chomp on that cigar AND chew the scenery at the same time. And the Bond villain idea is brilliant--he would have livened up any of the late stage Roger Moore snoozefests.
