Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1982 action movie directed by Hal Needham, starring Barry Bostwick, Michael Beck, Persis Khambatta, Edward Mulhare, George Furth, Evan C. Kim, Ralph Wilcox, Robert Fuller and Henry Silva.The film follows the titular "Megaforce", an elite multi-national "phantom army", equipped with "the most powerful weapons science can devise" and which mission is "to preserve freedom and justice, battling the forces of tyranny and evil on every corner of the globe".Led by Commander Ace Hunter (Bostwick) and his friend Dallas (Beck), the Megaforce is sent to help a small (fictional) country in Africa address border incursions from its (equally fictional) neighbor, who has hired an old acquaintance of Hunter's, Duke Guerera (Silva).No connection to Power Rangers Megaforce. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Megaforce / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Guerrera and Ace used to be friends and still treat each other as such... a bit too much, really... and at the midpoint of the film they even meet and Guerrera tries to talk Ace into surrendering (and that it's The '80s, good guys don't win anymore) and in the middle of the climactic rush to evacuate Ace takes a moment to tell Guerrera that no, heroes can still win, even in the Eighties. | |

Badass Army | |
| Megaforce / int_8878f3be | comment |
Badass Army: The titular "Megaforce". Guerera's army is apparently one, considering that it constantly makes incursions into the Republic of Sardun and wrecks the place with little problem. | |

Action Girl: Major Zara... allegedly. She manages to pass Megaforce qualification training, but despite her best desires, doesn't get to go on the mission. | |

Casual Danger Dialogue | |
| Megaforce / int_df41acb | comment |
Casual Danger Dialogue: A lot of the Megaforce's battle dialogue. As a crowning example, one of the Hercules meant for evacuation gets mission-killed by a direct hit from a tank's main gun and needs to fly off, and the pilot takes the time to ask one of the other pilots if he can call the latter's girlfriend. | |
