The Frida Cinema

It’s widely regarded as one of the worst movies of the Eighties…

…and we’re making a documentary about how awesome it is.

Starring Barry Bostwick (Rocky Horror Picture Show), 1982’s Megaforce is packed with futuristic vehicles, spandex jumpsuits, insane stunts, and corny dialogue. It’s an adolescent adventure that time has forgotten.

But one man remembers: director Bob Lindenmayer, and he’s on a quest to convince the rest of the world just how amazing this under-appreciated stunt-filled spectacle is. The world’s biggest Megaforce fan, Bob owns a fleet of fully operational dune buggies and motorcycles from the film.

At first, Bob’s mission is pretty straightforward – chronicle the making of this box-office flop through cast and crew interviews. But when he meets his hero, Barry Bostwick, the film takes a left turn and becomes something more than a documentary – it becomes a hilarious and touching tribute to the power of fandom, friendship, and flying motorcycles.

Making Megaforce is a feature-length documentary scheduled for released in 2025, starring Barry Bostwick and directed by Bob Lindenmayer.

About the director:

“Making Megaforce” director Bob Lindenmayer has over 20 years of graphic design experience creating game, web, video and merchandising projects. An avid film prop collector and cult cinema enthusiast, Bob owns the largest collection of vehicles from the 1982 film Megaforce, and he’s restored several vehicles to their original working conditions. Bob enjoys spending time with his kids Calvin and Eleanor racing a vintage Datsun on the family rally racing team.

Directors 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
