He is a total hoot throughout the film and looks like he&#8217;s having a blast. He&#8217;s in on the joke &#8211; none of this is to be taken seriously. And how could you take Hunter seriously with perfect blown dried hair and an outfit that looks like he&#8217;s headed to an Olivia Newton John video shoot. His jokes and one-liners are grown-worthy, but in a good way. He&#8217;s the most non-military commander put on film. <\/p>\n<p>Bostwisk is joined by the scene-chewing Edward Mulhare and Persis Khambatta and Michael Beck, neither of whom seem to realize this thing is a mess and play it straight. Finally, the main cast is rounded out by one of my favs, Henry Silva. He looks like he&#8217;s having a lot of fun playing the crazed Duke Guerera. <\/p>\n<p>I admit that the first 30 minutes or so can be a bit dry. There&#8217;s a lot of talking about stuff that doesn&#8217;t make sense and that no one really cares about. We&#8217;re here for the futuristic military vehicles (dune buggies and motorcycles with a cheap fiberglass overlay), the explosions (and there are plenty of those), and the laughable special effects (the flying motorcycle must be seen to be believed &#8211; one of the most ludicrous looking things I&#8217;ve ever seen). This is what makes Megaforce so much fun. <\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megaforce stars Barry Bostwick as Commander Ace Hunter, the leader of a quick deployment special force.
