A friend and I used to find the most potentially atrocious movie then playing so we could heckle it, years before MST3k debuted. Seeing the TV ads for Megaforce, we knew we found a "winner". We went during the economy hour (of course)- at the ticket window I requested one adult ticket for "Mega-Bomb", and the lady grinned knowingly. (Ah, youth...) Anyway, we were laughing to ourselves as the movie trundled along. After about an hour, we could only gawk at it, utterly stupefied. We almost felt guilty about our actions, as if we were making fun of the mentally retarded. But then came that "climactic" scene when Gary Boswick's damaged super-cycle miraculously recovers with the help of a blue-screen that was too attractive to keep hidden. All guilty feelings were wiped away as the audience around us laughed along with us.
Looking back on "Megaforce" over twenty years later, I can just imagine the cartoon character Johnny Bravo starring in an animated re-make. That would earn at least a 7-star rating from me!
