I think this may of been the closest thing we got to a live action B.A.F. film back in the 80's

Nor can I !

However it looks like a cool 80's nostalgia trip, although the effects at the end let it down ?

It's on Youtube..I remember it being shown on BBC1 one Sunday many years ago, bad, but in a good way..& if memory serves my mate had a game based on the film for his old Atari v.c.s..

Oh My God! The music in that first trailer is by 707, Todd Howarth's spin-off from Frehley's Comet, one of the greatest bands to arise during the 1980s! I have the original Frehley's Comet version of that song on CD. Awesome!

My next door neighbour had MegaForce toys, but I'm pretty sure they were unrelated to this film.

I remember watching this when I was a kid, I thought that the guy on the flying bike was Chuck Norris...

And of course it's always a joy to see Persis Khambatta from my favourite film, Star Trek; The Motion Picture.

Was he not on a bike in the other 80's classic Delta Force?
