A User Review:

One of the first jobs I ever had was with a catering company. Imagine how thrilled we were to be hired on for the on-location filming of "Megaforce"! Everyone involved seemed confident that it was going to be a smash summer hit. Watching this being filmed at Nevada's Dry Lake, it did seem like something monumentous was in the making, but nobody could have imagined just how negative a reaction "Megaforce" was going to receive. I almost didn't want to see it, but curiosity got the better of me and I did. Truthfully, I don't think it's nearly as horrible as many make it out to be...but certainly not good either. There's enough vehicle stunts and weapons futurismo to keep 12 year olds very entertained...and I think that may be exactly what Hal Needham intended for this project. ...and I hope everyone on the set of this enjoyed the food...

Trivia:

Producers approached military officials for cooperation in the design of the vehicles used in the battle scenes; the officials refused. When the film was released, those same officials were so impressed with the vehicles, they asked the producers for the plans. The producers cooperated.
