He wanted to make a documentary about the making of Megaforce, one of 1982’s biggest box office failures. But when he met his hero, Megaforce star Barry “Ace Hunter” Bostwick, things started to get really out of hand. Hal Needham’s big budget epic Megaforce was one of the undisputed worst movies of 1982, and beyond- a box office flop that time would like to forget. But there is one man who remembers …Bob Lindenmayer, and he’s on a quest to convince the rest of the world just how awesome this stunt-filled spectacle is. As Bob delves into the movie’s history with cast and crew, he drags his childhood hero Barry Bostwick into his mission to relive the past. It’s a touching and hilarious tribute to the power of heroes, friendship, and flying motorcycles.

Director Statement

Forty-two years ago, I saw a movie that changed my life: Megaforce. I loved it, but not everyone felt the same way. I’ve been on a lifelong mission to restore the honor of this awesome, underappreciated film, which is why I’m making this documentary.

Have you ever been a fan of something (a band, a book, a team) that nobody liked? That’s Megaforce for me.

Making Megaforce documents the making of the movie that I love, my lifelong obsession with Megaforce, and my weird and wonderful friendship with Barry Bostwick. Yes, it’s about a forgotten cult movie that not a lot of people have seen – yet! But even if you haven’t seen Megaforce, I hope that it speaks to the fan you. Sometimes you just love what you love, no apologies.
