- Ho Yay: The spandex combat suits. Hunter's refusal to let the gorgeous Persis Khambatta (looking better than she did in Star Trek: The Motion Picture) into this boy's club despite her rank and perfect combat test. Hunter's catty falling out with Guerera over a stolen lighter.
- Special Effects Failure: Pretty much every single blue-screen scene on this movie. Here is an example. The Sardunian "power plant" and APC that are blown up at the beginning are also clearly mock-ups.
- Unintentional Period Piece: Crappy special effects, all of the vehicles but especially the Megaforce (which allegedly are made with comic-book super-tech), Ace's unintentional Stay in the Kitchen attitude, the two minority members of Megaforce that we mostly see being Those Two Guys, and Dallas proudly displaying the Confederate flag on his uniform (even if he's definitely an unprejudiced nice guy) all bunch together to make this movie so unapologetically Eighties that it's a hell of a lot more awkward to watch nowadays.
- Vindicated by History: While it hasn't achieved Cult Classic status — at most, its being one of the inspirations for Team America: World Police has gotten some to check it out — it's no longer the worst thing with "Megaforce" in its title.
