I have to disagree with putting _Megaforce_ on the totally bad
list.  I had lots of fun watching that movie.  I don't believe
I've laughed that much in a long while.  Ever so often there were
tight shots of the male lead's backside that made me wonder about
the sexual proclivities of the cameraman.  There were more shots
of Bostwick than of his "sexy" female costar.  The outfits that
they made him wear were so silly, I was sure this film was
supposed to be a farce, somewhat like Buckaroo Banzai, but not as
"serious".  What super hero is going to wear platform shoes and
lycra pantsuits (with bell-bottoms)?  It's almost impossible to
drive a motorcycle with shoes like that.  And then there was the
final scene, I kept saying, "No, they wouldn't do that... would
they?"  A motorcycle (with parachute) drops from the plane (with
rider aboard) and actually lands wheels down!

Maybe this is just a matter of attitude, I thought it was a farce
and so I enjoyed it, you thought it was serious and it WAS awful
in that light.  Ah well, so much for my opinion.
