Super Force

I was 11 when this was on TV, but I'll never forget a few scenes. One was a pre-intro scene (the scene before the opening credits and first commercial break roll), in a Toy Store. I SWEAR it looked like a toy store commercial. I really thought it was just another commercial. Then this evil dude bulldozes the thing down. I was like, YES!!! Then I realized it was the start of the show.

Anyway, that's not what is funny. What is FUNNY CHEESY is Superforce has so many hidden gadgets in his suit, almost like Inspector Gadget (HA!) There was one scene where the sides of his helmet opened up and out of each side a missile emerged and shot the bad guy. Guess what that means! NO ROOM FOR A BRAIN!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

The BEST OF ALL THOUGH, was one episode where the weapon in question was an orb. The Orb would hover, then chase down its victim at high speeds, then crash into his temple, so that half the orb was visible, and the other half buried in the bloody head. The run away from orb scenes were SOOO funny.

Anyway, I digress. There's no point because no one will ever see this again, unless some mook taped and kept all the episodes.

It sure was lot of fun watching this when I was a kid.Robot suite, armored motorcycle and laser beams delivered testosterone action so needed in that age.Theme for the show was downright great and always maked me warm inside because I knew that a new villain will be defeated tonight(kids,ha?). Anyway you will have great fun if you find this showing somewhere on TV. Have a blast!

Unlike most of the reviews here I did not remember this show though it was definitely the kind of thing I would have watched then and now. I bought it as part of a DVD set of 6 classic SciFi shows. Having just watched The Powers of Matthew Star (1982-1983) I was expecting a bit more from this one, it being newer, but the visuals were so bad it felt like a jump backwards in time. Automan made in 1983 has better graphics and effects. Much less Max Headroom (1987-1988) For example the "AI" in this show is not even 8 bit graphics level and would not be recognizable as a face if they did not tell you it was. Even the movie, the series was based on, is so cheap they used an Apollo command module model painted gold as a Mars craft and the super suit looks like it is mainly made from football pads. I guess they spent all the budget on the bike since it appears to be the one prop they spent time on. The video quality was the worst of the set. I've seen low speed VCR recordings the looked better. Could have been a bad transfer but a few screens did look almost as as clear as the The Immortal (1969-1971) also in the set. The plots seemed as bad as the visuals. The chessey The Powers of Matthew Star was more believable. In short I'm amazed they made a series after the movie much less that it made it to 48 episodes. Especially given the other shows out around that time that I loved like: Alien Nation (1989-1990) Quantum Leap (1989-1993) Something Is Out There (I) (1988-1989) Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994)

I could not even make it through all of the Super Force episodes.

Note the fact that the show takes place in 2020 does add some humor to it with 2020 just a few couple away.

I honestly got further then i expected to. I decided to check this out cause i figured it would be so silly, but surprisingly i was somewhat liking it. Eventually though i realized how bulky and ridiculous the super force outfit was and i just couldn't deal with looking at it anymore. I know that sounds like a ridiculous reason to stop and i probably would agree with you since honestly i was mildly enjoying everything else about the show, but i also felt like i still wasn't EXCITED to get to the next episode, but rather i was just watching them to get them over with which i didnt want to continue to do.

I can't remember much from this show, but it happened to creep into my mind this morning. Like the previous reviewer, I remember the "Toy Store" intro. I remember several "fake commercial" type introductions in this show. There have been and will always be cheesy shows like "Super Force. " The fact is, if you don't take them seriously, they can be a lot of fun!
