Wow. Just wow.
As a kid in the 80's I vaguely remember this flick, but am certain there was a huge marketing buzz around it at the time.
So more than 30 years later, I sat down to revisit this just for poops 'n giggles and in retrospect, I just couldn't believe this movie was ever made!
Its a hoot to look back, but what the heck were we all on back then to think that supposed "macho men" being dressed in nut-hugger spandex was appropriate?? Another example from roughly the same timeframe was Gil Gerrard in Buck Rogers.
How can I "un-see" this now!? Haha. I hope it doesnt take another 3 decades to erase this from my memory again!!

When I was a kid, my sister and I watched this religiously. It's one of those movies you know is cheesy even when you're 10, but for some reason it still works for you.
I watched it recently for the nostalgia trip. Wow, you are so right. I can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea. Corniest part of the movie was when he did that spin move to get on the C-130 followed up by the uber-cool thumb kiss.

Erin Gray sure did look amazing in that uniform, though, innit?
I agree that wasn't a good look for a dude. I imagine there might be some gay guys in our age group who thought the same way about Gerard that I do about Erin Gray, though. -

Just started watching this. Saw it about 30 years back. A delicious slices of '80s cheese, if I remember correctly.
And don't forget;

You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!
